On blow-up and asymptotic behavior of solutions to a nonlinear parabolic equation of second order with nonlinear boundary conditions

Théodore K. Boni (1999)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We obtain some sufficient conditions under which solutions to a nonlinear parabolic equation of second order with nonlinear boundary conditions tend to zero or blow up in a finite time. We also give the asymptotic behavior of solutions which tend to zero as t . Finally, we obtain the asymptotic behavior near the blow-up time of certain blow-up solutions and describe their blow-up set.

On Chemotaxis Models with Cell Population Interactions

Z. A. Wang (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

This paper extends the volume filling chemotaxis model [18, 26] by taking into account the cell population interactions. The extended chemotaxis models have nonlinear diffusion and chemotactic sensitivity depending on cell population density, which is a modification of the classical Keller-Segel model in which the diffusion and chemotactic sensitivity are constants (linear). The existence and boundedness of global solutions of these models are discussed and...

On fully practical finite element approximations of degenerate Cahn-Hilliard systems

John W. Barrett, James F. Blowey, Harald Garcke (2001)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We consider a model for phase separation of a multi-component alloy with non-smooth free energy and a degenerate mobility matrix. In addition to showing well-posedness and stability bounds for our approximation, we prove convergence in one space dimension. Furthermore an iterative scheme for solving the resulting nonlinear discrete system is analysed. We discuss also how our approximation has to be modified in order to be applicable to a logarithmic free energy. Finally numerical experiments with...

On higher-order semilinear parabolic equations with measures as initial data

Victor Galaktionov (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider 2 m th-order ( m 2 ) semilinear parabolic equations u t = ( Δ ) m u ± | u | p 1 u in N × + ( p > 1 ) , with Dirac’s mass δ ( x ) as the initial function. We show that for p < p 0 = 1 + 2 m / N , the Cauchy problem admits...

On iterative solution of nonlinear heat-conduction and diffusion problems

Herbert Gajewski (1977)

Aplikace matematiky

The present paper deals with the numerical solution of the nonlinear heat equation. An iterative method is suggested in which the iterations are obtained by solving linear heat equation. The convergence of the method is proved under very natural conditions on given input data of the original problem. Further, questions of convergence of the Galerkin method applied to the original equation as well as to the linear equations in the above mentioned iterative method are studied.

On nonlinear, nonconvex evolution inclusions

Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou (1995)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

We consider a nonlinear evolution inclusion driven by an m-accretive operator which generates an equicontinuous nonlinear semigroup of contractions. We establish the existence of extremal integral solutions and we show that they form a dense, G δ -subset of the solution set of the original Cauchy problem. As an application, we obtain “bang-bang”’ type theorems for two nonlinear parabolic distributed parameter control systems.

On solutions of a perturbed fast diffusion equation

Ján Filo (1987)

Aplikace matematiky

The paper concerns the (local and global) existence, nonexistence, uniqueness and some properties of nonnegative solutions of a nonlinear density dependent diffusion equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions.
