The nonlinearly damped oscillator

Juan Luis Vázquez — 2003

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study the large-time behaviour of the nonlinear oscillator m x ' ' + f ( x ' ) + k x = 0 , where m , k > 0 and f is a monotone real function representing nonlinear friction. We are interested in understanding the long-time effect of a nonlinear damping term, with special attention to the model case f ( x ' ) = A | x ' | α - 1 x ' with α real, A > 0 . We characterize the existence and behaviour of fast orbits, i.e., orbits that stop in finite time.

Barenblatt solutions and asymptotic behaviour for a nonlinear fractional heat equation of porous medium type

Juan Luis Vázquez — 2014

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We establish the existence, uniqueness and main properties of the fundamental solutions for the fractional porous medium equation introduced in [51]. They are self-similar functions of the form u ( x , t ) = t α f ( | x | t β ) with suitable and β . As a main application of this construction, we prove that the asymptotic behaviour of general solutions is represented by such special solutions. Very singular solutions are also constructed. Among other interesting qualitative properties of the equation we prove an Aleksandrov reflection...

The problems of blow-up for nonlinear heat equations. Complete blow-up and avalanche formation

Juan Luis Vázquez — 2004

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

We review the main mathematical questions posed in blow-up problems for reaction-diffusion equations and discuss results of the author and collaborators on the subjects of continuation of solutions after blow-up, existence of transient blow-up solutions (so-called peaking solutions) and avalanche formation as a mechanism of complete blow-up.

Fundamental solutions and asymptotic behaviour for the p-Laplacian equation.

Soshana KaminJuan Luis Vázquez — 1988

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We establish the uniqueness of fundamental solutions to the p-Laplacian equation ut = div (|Du|p-2 Du),   p > 2, defined for x ∈ RN, 0 < t < T. We derive from this result the asymptotic behavoir of nonnegative solutions with finite mass, i.e., such that u(*,t) ∈ L1(RN). Our methods also apply to the porous medium equation ut...
