Identification problems for degenerate parabolic equations

Fadi Awawdeh, Hamed M. Obiedat (2013)

Applications of Mathematics

This paper deals with multivalued identification problems for parabolic equations. The problem consists of recovering a source term from the knowledge of an additional observation of the solution by exploiting some accessible measurements. Semigroup approach and perturbation theory for linear operators are used to treat the solvability in the strong sense of the problem. As an important application we derive the corresponding existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence results for different...

Interfaces in solutions of diffusion-absorption equations.

Sergei Shmarev (2002)

RACSAM

We study the properties of interfaces in solutions of the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation ut = Δum - up in Rn x (0,T] with the parameters m > 1, p > 0 satisfying the condition m + p ≥ 2. We show that the velocity of the interface Γ(t) = ∂{supp u(x,t)} is given by the formula v = [ -m / (m-1) ∇um-1 + ∇Π ]|Γ(t) where Π is the solution of the degenerate elliptic equation div (u∇Π) + up = 0, Π = 0 on Γ(t). We give explicit formulas which represent the interface...
