Porous medium equation and fast diffusion equation as gradient systems

Samuel Littig, Jürgen Voigt (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We show that the Porous Medium Equation and the Fast Diffusion Equation, u ˙ - Δ u m = f , with m ( 0 , ) , can be modeled as a gradient system in the Hilbert space H - 1 ( Ω ) , and we obtain existence and uniqueness of solutions in this framework. We deal with bounded and certain unbounded open sets Ω n and do not require any boundary regularity. Moreover, the approach is used to discuss the asymptotic behaviour and order preservation of solutions.

This paper provides blow up results of Fujita type for a reaction-diffusion system of 3 equations in the form u - Δ ( a 11 u ) = h ( t , x ) | v | p , v - Δ ( a 21 u ) - Δ ( a 22 v ) = k ( t , x ) | w | q , w - Δ ( a 31 u ) - Δ ( a 32 v ) - Δ ( a 33 w ) = l ( t , x ) | u | r , for x N , t > 0, p > 0, q > 0, r > 0, a i j = a i j ( t , x , u , v ) , under initial conditions u(0,x) = u₀(x), v(0,x) = v₀(x), w(0,x) = w₀(x) for x N , where u₀, v₀, w₀ are nonnegative, continuous and bounded functions. Subject to conditions on dependence on the parameters p, q, r, N and the growth of the functions h, k, l at infinity, we prove finite blow up time for every solution of the...

Metastability in reversible diffusion processes I: Sharp asymptotics for capacities and exit times

Anton Bovier, Michael Eckhoff, Véronique Gayrard, Markus Klein (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We develop a potential theoretic approach to the problem of metastability for reversible diffusion processes with generators of the form ϵ Δ + F ( · ) on d or subsets of d , where F is a smooth function with finitely many local minima. In analogy to previous work on discrete Markov chains, we show that metastable exit times from the attractive domains of the minima of F can be related, up to multiplicative errors that tend to one as ϵ 0 , to the capacities of suitably constructed sets. We show that...

Metastability in reversible diffusion processes II: precise asymptotics for small eigenvalues

Anton Bovier, Véronique Gayrard, Markus Klein (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We continue the analysis of the problem of metastability for reversible diffusion processes, initiated in [BEGK3], with a precise analysis of the low-lying spectrum of the generator. Recall that we are considering processes with generators of the form ϵ Δ + F ( · ) on d or subsets of d , where F is a smooth function with finitely many local minima. Here we consider only the generic situation where the depths of all local minima are different. We show that in general the exponentially small part of...

On inertial manifolds for reaction-diffusion equations on genuinely high-dimensional thin domains

M. Prizzi, K. P. Rybakowski (2003)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We study a family of semilinear reaction-diffusion equations on spatial domains Ω ε , ε > 0, in l lying close to a k-dimensional submanifold ℳ of l . As ε → 0⁺, the domains collapse onto (a subset of) ℳ. As proved in [15], the above family has a limit equation, which is an abstract semilinear parabolic equation defined on a certain limit phase space denoted by H ¹ s ( Ω ) . The definition of H ¹ s ( Ω ) , given in the above paper, is very abstract. One of the objectives of this paper is to give more manageable...

Spreading and vanishing in nonlinear diffusion problems with free boundaries

Yihong Du, Bendong Lou (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We study nonlinear diffusion problems of the form u t = u x x + f ( u ) with free boundaries. Such problems may be used to describe the spreading of a biological or chemical species, with the free boundary representing the expanding front. For special f ( u ) of the Fisher-KPP type, the problem was investigated by Du and Lin [DL]. Here we consider much more general nonlinear terms. For any f ( u ) which is C 1 and satisfies f ( 0 ) = 0 , we show that the omega limit set ω ( u ) of every bounded positive solution is determined by a stationary...

Quasi-diffusion solution of a stochastic differential equation

Agnieszka Plucińska, Wojciech Szymański (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider the stochastic differential equation X t = X + 0 t ( A s + B s X s ) d s + 0 t C s d Y s , where A t , B t , C t are nonrandom continuous functions of t, X₀ is an initial random variable, Y = ( Y t , t 0 ) is a Gaussian process and X₀, Y are independent. We give the form of the solution ( X t ) to (0.1) and then basing on the results of Plucińska [Teor. Veroyatnost. i Primenen. 25 (1980)] we prove that ( X t ) is a quasi-diffusion proces.

Existence and upper semicontinuity of uniform attractors in H ¹ ( N ) for nonautonomous nonclassical diffusion equations

Cung The Anh, Nguyen Duong Toan (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We prove the existence of uniform attractors ε in the space H ¹ ( N ) for the nonautonomous nonclassical diffusion equation u t - ε Δ u t - Δ u + f ( x , u ) + λ u = g ( x , t ) , ε ∈ [0,1]. The upper semicontinuity of the uniform attractors ε ε [ 0 , 1 ] at ε = 0 is also studied.

From a kinetic equation to a diffusion under an anomalous scaling

Giada Basile (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

A linear Boltzmann equation is interpreted as the forward equation for the probability density of a Markov process ( K ( t ) , i ( t ) , Y ( t ) ) on ( 𝕋 2 × { 1 , 2 } × 2 ) , where 𝕋 2 is the two-dimensional torus. Here ( K ( t ) , i ( t ) ) is an autonomous reversible jump process, with waiting times between two jumps with finite expectation value but infinite variance. Y ( t ) is an additive functional of K , defined as 0 t v ( K ( s ) ) d s , where | v | 1 for small k . We prove that the rescaled process ( N ln N ) - 1 / 2 Y ( N t ) converges in distribution to a two-dimensional Brownian motion. As a consequence,...

Dirk Horstmann (2001)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We give a sufficient condition for the existence of a Lyapunov function for the system aₜ = ∇(k(a,c)∇a - h(a,c)∇c), x ∈ Ω, t > 0, ε c = k c Δ c - f ( c ) c + g ( a , c ) , x ∈ Ω, t > 0, for Ω N , completed with either a = c = 0, or ∂a/∂n = ∂c/∂n = 0, or k(a,c) ∂a/∂n = h(a,c) ∂c/∂n, c = 0 on ∂Ω × t > 0. Furthermore we study the asymptotic behaviour of the solution and give some uniform L p -estimates.

Modelling of multicomponent diffusive phase transformation in solids

Vala, Jiří

Similarity:

Physical analysis of phase transformation of materials consisting from several (both substitutional and interstitial) components, coming from the Onsager extremal thermodynamic principle, leads, from the mathematical point of view, to a system of partial differential equations of evolution type, including certain integral term, with substantial differences in particular phases ( α , γ ) and in moving interface of finite thickness ( β ), in whose center the ideal liquid material behaviour...

Hydrodynamical behavior of symmetric exclusion with slow bonds

Tertuliano Franco, Patrícia Gonçalves, Adriana Neumann (2013)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

We consider the exclusion process in the one-dimensional discrete torus with N points, where all the bonds have conductance one, except a finite number of slow bonds, with conductance N - β , with β [ 0 , ) . We prove that the time evolution of the empirical density of particles, in the diffusive scaling, has a distinct behavior according to the range of the parameter β . If β [ 0 , 1 ) , the hydrodynamic limit is given by the usual heat equation. If β = 1 , it is given by a parabolic equation involving an operator...

Spectral condition, hitting times and Nash inequality

Eva Löcherbach, Oleg Loukianov, Dasha Loukianova (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

Let X be a μ -symmetric Hunt process on a LCCB space 𝙴 . For an open set 𝙶 𝙴 , let τ 𝙶 be the exit time of X from 𝙶 and A 𝙶 be the generator of the process killed when it leaves 𝙶 . Let r : [ 0 , [ [ 0 , [ and R ( t ) = 0 t r ( s ) d s . We give necessary and sufficient conditions for 𝔼 μ R ( τ 𝙶 ) l t ; in terms of the behavior near the origin of the spectral measure of - A 𝙶 . When r ( t ) = t l , l 0 , by means of this condition we derive the Nash inequality for the killed process. In the diffusion case this permits to show that the existence of moments of order l + 1 for τ 𝙶 ...

Estimating composite functions by model selection

Yannick Baraud, Lucien Birgé (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

We consider the problem of estimating a function s on [ - 1 , 1 ] k for large values of k by looking for some best approximation of s by composite functions of the form g u . Our solution is based on model selection and leads to a very general approach to solve this problem with respect to many different types of functions g , u and statistical frameworks. In particular, we handle the problems of approximating s by additive functions, single and multiple index models, artificial neural networks, mixtures...

Asymptotic behavior of a stochastic combustion growth process

Alejandro Ramírez, Vladas Sidoravicius (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We study a continuous time growth process on the d -dimensional hypercubic lattice 𝒵 d , which admits a phenomenological interpretation as the combustion reaction A + B 2 A , where A represents heat particles and B inert particles. This process can be described as an interacting particle system in the following way: at time 0 a simple symmetric continuous time random walk of total jump rate one begins to move from the origin of the hypercubic lattice; then, as soon as any random walk visits a site...
