Functional equations stemming from numerical analysis

Tomasz Szostok

Similarity:

Always when a numerical method gives exact results an interesting functional equation arises. And, since no regularity is assumed, some unexpected solutions may appear. Here we deal with equations constructed in this spirit. The vast majority of this paper is devoted to the equation $\sum_{i = 0}^{l} {(y - x)}^{i} [f_{1, i} (α_{1, i} x + β_{1, i} y) + \dots + f_{k_{i}, i} (α_{k_{i}, i} x + β_{k_{i}, i} y)] = 0 (1)$ and its particular cases. We use Sablik’s lemma to prove that all solutions of (1) are polynomial functions. Since a continuous polynomial function is an ordinary polynomial, the crucial problem throughout...

On the long-time behaviour of solutions of the p-Laplacian parabolic system

Paweł Goldstein (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Convergence of global solutions to stationary solutions for a class of degenerate parabolic systems related to the p-Laplacian operator is proved. A similar result is obtained for a variable exponent p. In the case of p constant, the convergence is proved to be $¹_{l o c}$ , and in the variable exponent case, L² and $W^{1, p (x)}$ -weak.

An observability estimate for parabolic equations from a measurable set in time and its applications

Kim Dang Phung, Gengsheng Wang (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

This paper presents a new observability estimate for parabolic equations in $Ω \times (0, T)$ , where $Ω$ is a convex domain. The observation region is restricted over a product set of an open nonempty subset of $Ω$ and a subset of positive measure in $(0, T)$ . This estimate is derived with the aid of a quantitative unique continuation at one point in time. Applications to the bang-bang property for norm and time optimal control problems are provided.

Blowup rates for nonlinear heat equations with gradient terms and for parabolic inequalities

Philippe Souplet, Slim Tayachi (2001)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Consider the nonlinear heat equation (E): $u_{t} - Δ u = {| u |}^{p - 1} u + b {| \nabla u |}^{q}$ . We prove that for a large class of radial, positive, nonglobal solutions of (E), one has the blowup estimates $C ₁ {(T - t)}^{- 1 / (p - 1)} {\leq | | u (t) | |}_{\infty} \leq C ₂ {(T - t)}^{- 1 / (p - 1)}$ . Also, as an application of our method, we obtain the same upper estimate if u only satisfies the nonlinear parabolic inequality $u_{t} - u_{x x} \geq u^{p}$ . More general inequalities of the form $u_{t} - u_{x x} \geq f (u)$ with, for instance, $f (u) = (1 + u) l o g^{p} (1 + u)$ are also treated. Our results show that for solutions of the parabolic inequality, one has essentially the same estimates as for solutions...

Some pinching deformations of the Fatou function

Patricia Domínguez, Guillermo Sienra (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We are interested in deformations of Baker domains by a pinching process in curves. In this paper we deform the Fatou function $F (z) = z + 1 + e^{- z}$ , depending on the curves selected, to any map of the form $F_{p / q} (z) = z + e^{- z} + 2 π i p / q$ , p/q a rational number. This process deforms a function with a doubly parabolic Baker domain into a function with an infinite number of doubly parabolic periodic Baker domains if p = 0, otherwise to a function with wandering domains. Finally, we show that certain attracting domains can be deformed...

New a posteriori $L^{\infty} (L^{2})$ and $L^{2} (L^{2})$ -error estimates of mixed finite element methods for general nonlinear parabolic optimal control problems

Zuliang Lu (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We study new a posteriori error estimates of the mixed finite element methods for general optimal control problems governed by nonlinear parabolic equations. The state and the co-state are discretized by the high order Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control is approximated by piecewise constant functions. We derive a posteriori error estimates in $L^{\infty} (J; L^{2} (Ω))$ -norm and $L^{2} (J; L^{2} (Ω))$ -norm for both the state, the co-state and the control approximation. Such estimates, which seem to be new,...

Existence results for a class of nonlinear parabolic equations with two lower order terms

Ahmed Aberqi, Jaouad Bennouna, M. Hammoumi, Mounir Mekkour, Ahmed Youssfi (2014)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate the existence of renormalized solutions for some nonlinear parabolic problems associated to equations of the form ⎧ $\partial (e^{β u} - 1) / \partial t - {d i v (| \nabla u |}^{p - 2} \nabla u) + d i v (c (x, t) {| u |}^{s - 1} u) + b (x, t) {| \nabla u |}^{r} = f$ in Q = Ω×(0,T), ⎨ u(x,t) = 0 on ∂Ω ×(0,T), ⎩ $(e^{β u} - 1) (x, 0) = (e^{β u ₀} - 1) (x)$ in Ω. with s = (N+2)/(N+p) (p-1), $c (x, t) \in {(L^{τ} (Q T))}^{N}$ , τ = (N+p)/(p-1), r = (N(p-1) + p)/(N+2), $b (x, t) \in L^{N + 2, 1} (Q T)$ and f ∈ L¹(Q).

Absence of global solutions to a class of nonlinear parabolic inequalities

M. Guedda (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study the absence of nonnegative global solutions to parabolic inequalities of the type $u_{t} \geq - {(- Δ)}^{β / 2} u - V (x) u + h (x, t) u^{p}$ , 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 ${V ₊ (x) \sim a | x |}^{- b}$ , where a ≥ 0, b > 0, p > 1 and V₊(x): = maxV(x),0....

Asymptotically self-similar solutions for the parabolic system modelling chemotaxis

Yūki Naito (2006)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We consider a nonlinear parabolic system modelling chemotaxis $u_{t} = \nabla \cdot (\nabla u - u \nabla v)$ , $v_{t} = Δ v + u$ in ℝ², t > 0. We first prove the existence of time-global solutions, including self-similar solutions, for small initial data, and then show the asymptotically self-similar behavior for a class of general solutions.

Global Attractors for a Class of Semilinear Degenerate Parabolic Equations on $ℝ^{N}$

Cung The Anh, Le Thi Thuy (2013)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We prove the existence of global attractors for the following semilinear degenerate parabolic equation on $ℝ^{N}$ : ∂u/∂t - div(σ(x)∇ u) + λu + f(x,u) = g(x), under a new condition concerning the variable nonnegative diffusivity σ(·) and for an arbitrary polynomial growth order of the nonlinearity f. To overcome some difficulties caused by the lack of compactness of the embeddings, these results are proved by combining the tail estimates method and the asymptotic a priori estimate method. ...

Schauder theorems for linear elliptic and parabolic problems with unbounded coefficients in $ℝ^{n}$

Alessandra Lunardi (1998)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We study existence, uniqueness, and smoothing properties of the solutions to a class of linear second order elliptic and parabolic differential equations with unbounded coefficients in $ℝ^{n}$ . The main results are global Schauder estimates, which hold in spite of the unboundedness of the coefficients.

Space-time adaptive $h p$ -FEM: Methodology overview

Šolín, Pavel, Segeth, Karel, Doležel, Ivo

Similarity:

We present a new class of self-adaptive higher-order finite element methods ( $h p$ -FEM) which are free of analytical error estimates and thus work equally well for virtually all PDE problems ranging from simple linear elliptic equations to complex time-dependent nonlinear multiphysics coupled problems. The methods do not contain any tuning parameters and work reliably with both low- and high-order finite elements. The methodology was used to solve various types of problems including thermoelasticity,...

Single-point blow-up for a semilinear parabolic system

Ph. Souplet (2009)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We consider positive solutions of the system $u_{t} - Δ u = v^{p}$ ; $v_{t} - Δ v = u^{q}$ in a ball or in the whole space, with $p, q > 1$ . Relatively little is known on the blow-up set for semilinear parabolic systems and, up to now, no result was available for this basic system except for the very special case $p = q$ . Here we prove single-point blow-up for a large class of radial decreasing solutions. This in particular solves a problem left open in a paper of A. Friedman and Y. Giga (1987). We also obtain lower pointwise estimates for...

Bi-spaces global attractors in abstract parabolic equations

J. W. Cholewa, T. Dłotko (2003)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

An abstract semilinear parabolic equation in a Banach space X is considered. Under general assumptions on nonlinearity this problem is shown to generate a bounded dissipative semigroup on $X^{α}$ . This semigroup possesses an $(X^{α} - Z)$ -global attractor that is closed, bounded, invariant in $X^{α}$ , and attracts bounded subsets of $X^{α}$ in a ’weaker’ topology of an auxiliary Banach space Z. The abstract approach is finally applied to the scalar parabolic equation in Rⁿ and to the partly dissipative system. ...
