Blow up for a completely coupled Fujita type reaction-diffusion system

Noureddine Igbida, Mokhtar Kirane (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

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...

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.

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...

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...

Nonlinear diffusion equations with perturbation terms on unbounded domains

Kurima, Shunsuke

Similarity:

This paper considers the initial-boundary value problem for the nonlinear diffusion equation with the perturbation term u t + ( - Δ + 1 ) β ( u ) + G ( u ) = g in Ω × ( 0 , T ) in an unbounded domain Ω N with smooth bounded boundary, where N , T > 0 , β , is a single-valued maximal monotone function on , e.g., β ( r ) = | r | q - 1 r ( q > 0 , q 1 ) and G is a function on which can be regarded as a Lipschitz continuous operator from ( H 1 ( Ω ) ) * to ( H 1 ( Ω ) ) * . The present work establishes existence and estimates for the above problem.

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,...

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.

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...

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.

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...

Vectorial quasilinear diffusion equation with dynamic boundary condition

Nakayashiki, Ryota

Similarity:

In this paper, we consider a class of initial-boundary value problems for quasilinear PDEs, subject to the dynamic boundary conditions. Each initial-boundary problem is denoted by (S) ε with a nonnegative constant ε , and for any ε 0 , (S) ε can be regarded as a vectorial transmission system between the quasilinear equation in the spatial domain Ω , and the parabolic equation on the boundary Γ : = Ω , having a sufficient smoothness. The objective of this study is to establish a mathematical method,...

Inverse source problem in a space fractional diffusion equation from the final overdetermination

Amir Hossein Salehi Shayegan, Reza Bayat Tajvar, Alireza Ghanbari, Ali Safaie (2019)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We consider the problem of determining the unknown source term f = f ( x , t ) in a space fractional diffusion equation from the measured data at the final time u ( x , T ) = ψ ( x ) . In this way, a methodology involving minimization of the cost functional J ( f ) = 0 l ( u ( x , t ; f ) | t = T - ψ ( x ) ) 2 d x is applied and shown that this cost functional is Fréchet differentiable and its derivative can be formulated via the solution of an adjoint problem. In addition, Lipschitz continuity of the gradient is proved. These results help us to prove the monotonicity and...

Homogenization of a three-phase composites of double-porosity type

Ahmed Boughammoura, Yousra Braham (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

In this work we consider a diffusion problem in a periodic composite having three phases: matrix, fibers and interphase. The heat conductivities of the medium vary periodically with a period of size ε β ( ε > 0 and β > 0 ) in the transverse directions of the fibers. In addition, we assume that the conductivity of the interphase material and the anisotropy contrast of the material in the fibers are of the same order ε 2 (the so-called double-porosity type scaling) while the matrix material has a conductivity...

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.
