Study of a three component Cahn-Hilliard flow model

Franck Boyer, Céline Lapuerta (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper, we propose a new diffuse interface model for the study of three immiscible component incompressible viscous flows. The model is based on the Cahn-Hilliard free energy approach. The originality of our study lies in particular in the choice of the bulk free energy. We show that one must take care of this choice in order for the model to give physically relevant results. More precisely, we give conditions for the model to be well-posed and to satisfy algebraically and dynamically consistency...

Subdifferential inclusions and quasi-static hemivariational inequalities for frictional viscoelastic contact problems

Stanisław Migórski (2012)

Open Mathematics

We survey recent results on the mathematical modeling of nonconvex and nonsmooth contact problems arising in mechanics and engineering. The approach to such problems is based on the notions of an operator subdifferential inclusion and a hemivariational inequality, and focuses on three aspects. First we report on results on the existence and uniqueness of solutions to subdifferential inclusions. Then we discuss two classes of quasi-static hemivariational ineqaulities, and finally, we present ideas...

Summability of semicontinuous supersolutions to a quasilinear parabolic equation

Juha Kinnunen, Peter Lindqvist (2005)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We study the so-called p -superparabolic functions, which are defined as lower semicontinuous supersolutions of a quasilinear parabolic equation. In the linear case, when p = 2 , we have supercaloric functions and the heat equation. We show that the p -superparabolic functions have a spatial Sobolev gradient and a sharp summability exponent is given.

Super and ultracontractive bounds for doubly nonlinear evolution equations.

Matteo Bonforte, Gabriele Grillo (2006)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We use logarithmic Sobolev inequalities involving the p-energy functional recently derived in [15], [21] to prove Lp-Lq smoothing and decay properties, of supercontractive and ultracontractive type, for the semigroups associated to doubly nonlinear evolution equations of the form u· = Δp(um) (with m(p - 1) ≥ 1) in an arbitrary euclidean domain, homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions being assumed. The bound are of the form ||u(t)||q ≤ C||u0||rγ / tβ for any r ≤ q ∈ [1,+∞) and t > 0 and...
