Solving the Cahn-Hilliard variational inequality with a semi-smooth Newton method

Luise Blank, Martin Butz, Harald Garcke (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The Cahn-Hilliard variational inequality is a non-standard parabolic variational inequality of fourth order for which straightforward numerical approaches cannot be applied. We propose a primal-dual active set method which can be interpreted as a semi-smooth Newton method as solution technique for the discretized Cahn-Hilliard variational inequality. A (semi-)implicit Euler discretization is used in time and a piecewise linear finite element discretization of splitting type is used in space leading...

Some common asymptotic properties of semilinear parabolic, hyperbolic and elliptic equations

Peter Poláčik (2002)

Mathematica Bohemica

We consider three types of semilinear second order PDEs on a cylindrical domain Ω × ( 0 , ) , where Ω is a bounded domain in N , N 2 . Among these, two are evolution problems of parabolic and hyperbolic types, in which the unbounded direction of Ω × ( 0 , ) is reserved for time t , the third type is an elliptic equation with a singled out unbounded variable t . We discuss the asymptotic behavior, as t , of solutions which are defined and bounded on Ω × ( 0 , ) .

Some (new) counterexamples of parabolic systems

Jana Stará, Oldřich John (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We give examples of parabolic systems (in space dimension n 3 ) having a solution with real analytic initial and boundary values which develops the discontinuity in the interior of the parabolic cylinder.

Some new results on a Stefan problem in a concentrated capacity

Enrico Magenes (1992)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

An existence and uniqueness theorem for a nonlinear parabolic system of partial differential equations, connected with the theory of heat conduction with a transition phase in a concentrated capacity, is given in sufficiently general hypotheses on the data.

Some simple nonlinear PDE's without solutions

Haïm Brezis, Xavier Cabré (1998)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

In questo articolo consideriamo alcune semplici equazioni a derivate parziali elittiche nonlineari, per le quali il Teorema della Funzione Inversa, se applicato in modo formale, suggerisce l'esistenza di soluzioni. Nonostante ciò, proviamo che non esistono soluzioni neppure in vari sensi deboli. Un problema modello è dato da - Δ u = u 2 / x 2 + c in Ω , u = 0 su Ω , dove Ω R N , N 2 , è un dominio limitato contenente 0 . Per qualunque costante c > 0 , arbitrariamente piccola, proviamo che questo problema non ammette soluzioni distribuzionali...
