Existence of solutions and monotone iterative method for infinite systems of parabolic differential-functional equations

Stanisław Brzychczy (1999)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We consider the Fourier first boundary value problem for an infinite system of weakly coupled nonlinear differential-functional equations. To prove the existence and uniqueness of solution, we apply a monotone iterative method using J. Szarski's results on differential-functional inequalities and a comparison theorem for infinite systems.

existence of solutions for an elliptic-algebraic system describing heat explosion in a two-phase medium

Cristelle Barillon, Georgy M. Makhviladze, Vitaly A. Volpert (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The paper is devoted to analysis of an elliptic-algebraic system of equations describing heat explosion in a two phase medium filling a star-shaped domain. Three types of solutions are found: classical, critical and multivalued. Regularity of solutions is studied as well as their behavior depending on the size of the domain and on the coefficient of heat exchange between the two phases. Critical conditions of existence of solutions are found for arbitrary positive source function.

Existence of solutions for nonlinear nonmonotone evolution equations in Banach spaces with anti-periodic boundary conditions

Sahbi Boussandel (2018)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper is devoted to the study of the existence of solutions for nonlinear nonmonotone evolution equations in Banach spaces involving anti-periodic boundary conditions. Our approach in this study relies on the theory of monotone and maximal monotone operators combined with the Schaefer fixed-point theorem and the monotonicity method. We apply our abstract results in order to solve a diffusion equation of Kirchhoff type involving the Dirichlet p -Laplace operator.

Existence of solutions for two types of generalized versions of the Cahn-Hilliard equation

Martin Heida (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

We show existence of solutions to two types of generalized anisotropic Cahn-Hilliard problems: In the first case, we assume the mobility to be dependent on the concentration and its gradient, where the system is supplied with dynamic boundary conditions. In the second case, we deal with classical no-flux boundary conditions where the mobility depends on concentration u , gradient of concentration u and the chemical potential Δ u - s ' ( u ) . The existence is shown using a newly developed generalization of gradient...

Existence of solutions to nonlinear advection-diffusion equation applied to Burgers' equation using Sinc methods

Kamel Al-Khaled (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

This paper has two objectives. First, we prove the existence of solutions to the general advection-diffusion equation subject to a reasonably smooth initial condition. We investigate the behavior of the solution of these problems for large values of time. Secondly, a numerical scheme using the Sinc-Galerkin method is developed to approximate the solution of a simple model of turbulence, which is a special case of the advection-diffusion equation, known as Burgers' equation. The approximate solution...

Existence of Waves for a Nonlocal Reaction-Diffusion Equation

I. Demin, V. Volpert (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In this work we study a nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation arising in population dynamics. The integral term in the nonlinearity describes nonlocal stimulation of reproduction. We prove existence of travelling wave solutions by the Leray-Schauder method using topological degree for Fredholm and proper operators and special a priori estimates of solutions in weighted Hölder spaces.

Exponential convergence to equilibrium via Lyapounov functionals for reaction-diffusion equations arising from non reversible chemical kinetics

Marzia Bisi, Laurent Desvillettes, Giampiero Spiga (2009)

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

We show that the entropy method, that has been used successfully in order to prove exponential convergence towards equilibrium with explicit constants in many contexts, among which reaction-diffusion systems coming out of reversible chemistry, can also be used when one considers a reaction-diffusion system corresponding to an irreversible mechanism of dissociation/recombination, for which no natural entropy is available.
