A solution of nonlinear diffusion problems by semilinear reaction-diffusion systems

Hideki Murakawa (2009)

Kybernetika

This paper deals with nonlinear diffusion problems involving degenerate parabolic problems, such as the Stefan problem and the porous medium equation, and cross-diffusion systems in population ecology. The degeneracy of the diffusion and the effect of cross-diffusion, that is, nonlinearities of the diffusion, complicate its analysis. In order to avoid the nonlinearities, we propose a reaction-diffusion system with solutions that approximate those of the nonlinear diffusion problems. The reaction-diffusion...

A variational inequality for discontinuous solutions of degenerate parabolic equations.

Lorina Dascal, Shoshana Kamin, Nir A. Sochen (2005)

RACSAM

The Beltrami framework for image processing and analysis introduces a non-linear parabolic problem, called in this context the Beltrami flow. We study in the framework for functions of bounded variation, the well-posedness of the Beltrami flow in the one-dimensional case. We prove existence and uniqueness of the weak solution using lower semi-continuity results for convex functions of measures. The solution is defined via a variational inequality, following Temam?s technique for the evolution problem...

A weighted symmetrization for nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations in inhomogeneous media

Guillermo Reyes, Juan Luis Vázquez (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

In the theory of elliptic equations, the technique of Schwarz symmetrization is one of the tools used to obtain a priori bounds for classical and weak solutions in terms of general information on the data. A basic result says that, in the absence of lower-order terms, the symmetric rearrangement of the solution u of an elliptic equation, that we write u * , can be compared pointwise with the solution of the symmetrized problem. The main question we address here is the modification of the method to...

A well-posedness result for a mass conserved Allen-Cahn equation with nonlinear diffusion

Kettani, Perla El, Hilhorst, Danielle, Lee, Kai (2017)

Proceedings of Equadiff 14

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the initial boundary value problem for a stochastic mass conserved Allen-Cahn equation with nonlinear diffusion together with a homogeneous Neumann boundary condition in an open bounded domain of n with a smooth boundary. We suppose that the additive noise is induced by a Q-Brownian motion.

Absence of global solutions to a class of nonlinear parabolic inequalities

M. Guedda (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study the absence of nonnegative global solutions to parabolic inequalities of the type u t - ( - Δ ) β / 2 u - V ( x ) u + h ( x , t ) u p , where ( - Δ ) β / 2 , 0 < β ≤ 2, is the β/2 fractional power of the Laplacian. We give a sufficient condition which implies that the only global solution is trivial if p > 1 is small. Among other properties, we derive a necessary condition for the existence of local and global nonnegative solutions to the above problem for the function V satisfying V ( x ) a | x | - b , where a ≥ 0, b > 0, p > 1 and V₊(x): = maxV(x),0. We...

An efficient linear numerical scheme for the Stefan problem, the porous medium equation and nonlinear cross-diffusion systems

Molati, Motlatsi, Murakawa, Hideki (2017)

Proceedings of Equadiff 14

This paper deals with nonlinear diffusion problems which include the Stefan problem, the porous medium equation and cross-diffusion systems. We provide a linear scheme for these nonlinear diffusion problems. The proposed numerical scheme has many advantages. Namely, the implementation is very easy and the ensuing linear algebraic systems are symmetric, which show low computational cost. Moreover, this scheme has the accuracy comparable to that of the wellstudied nonlinear schemes and make it possible...

An error estimate uniform in time for spectral Galerkin approximations for the equations for the motion of a chemical active fluid.

M. A. Rojas-Medar, S. A. Lorca (1995)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We study error estimates and their convergence rates for approximate solutions of spectral Galerkin type for the equations for the motion of a viscous chemical active fluid in a bounded domain. We find error estimates that are uniform in time and also optimal in the L2-norm and H1-norm. New estimates in the H(-1)-norm are given.

An implicit scheme to solve a system of ODEs arising from the space discretization of nonlinear diffusion equations

Éric Boillat (2001)

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

In this article, we consider the initial value problem which is obtained after a space discretization (with space step h ) of the equations governing the solidification process of a multicomponent alloy. We propose a numerical scheme to solve numerically this initial value problem. We prove an error estimate which is not affected by the step size h chosen in the space discretization. Consequently, our scheme provides global convergence without any stability condition between h and the time step size...
