A solution of nonlinear diffusion problems by semilinear reaction-diffusion systems

Hideki Murakawa (2009)

Similarity:

This paper deals with nonlinear diffusion problems involving degenerate parabolic problems, such as the Stefan problem and the porous medium equation, and cross-diffusion systems in population ecology. The degeneracy of the diffusion and the effect of cross-diffusion, that is, nonlinearities of the diffusion, complicate its analysis. In order to avoid the nonlinearities, we propose a reaction-diffusion system with solutions that approximate those of the nonlinear diffusion problems....

Diffusion and cross-diffusion in pattern formation

Similarity:

We discuss the stability and instability properties of steady state solutions to single equations, shadow systems, as well as 2 × 2 systems. Our basic observation is that the more complicated the pattern are, the more unstable they tend to be.

Fast optical tracking of diffusion in time-dependent environment of brain extracellular space

Hrabě, Jan

Similarity:

An improved version of the Integrative Optical Imaging (IOI) method for diffusion measurements in a geometrically complex environment of the brain extracellular space has been developed. We present a theory for this Fast Optical Tracking Of Diffusion (FOTOD) which incorporates a time-dependent effective diffusion coefficient in homogeneous anisotropic media with time-dependent nonspecific linear clearance. FOTOD can be used to measure rapid changes in extracellular diffusion permeability...

Homogenization and Diffusion Asymptotics of the Linear Boltzmann Equation

Thierry Goudon, Antoine Mellet (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We investigate the diffusion limit for general conservative Boltzmann equations with oscillating coefficients. Oscillations have a frequency of the same order as the inverse of the mean free path, and the coefficients may depend on both slow and fast variables. Passing to the limit, we are led to an effective drift-diffusion equation. We also describe the diffusive behaviour when the equilibrium function has a non-vanishing flux.

A local projection stabilization finite element method with nonlinear crosswind diffusion for convection-diffusion-reaction equations

Gabriel R. Barrenechea, Volker John, Petr Knobloch (2013)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

An extension of the local projection stabilization (LPS) finite element method for convection-diffusion-reaction equations is presented and analyzed, both in the steady-state and the transient setting. In addition to the standard LPS method, a nonlinear crosswind diffusion term is introduced that accounts for the reduction of spurious oscillations. The existence of a solution can be proved and, depending on the choice of the stabilization parameter, also its uniqueness. Error estimates...
