Nonlocal problems for the equations of motion of Kelvin-Voigt fluids
Nonlinear nonlocal parabolic equations modeling the evolution of density of mutually interacting particles are considered. The inertial type nonlinearity is quadratic and nonlocal while the diffusive term, also nonlocal, is anomalous and fractal, i.e., represented by a fractional power of the Laplacian. Conditions for global in time existence versus finite time blow-up are studied. Self-similar solutions are constructed for certain homogeneous initial data. Monte Carlo approximation schemes by interacting...
We investigate the behavior of weak solutions to the nonlocal Robin problem for linear elliptic divergence second order equations in a neighborhood of a boundary corner point. We find an exponent of the solution's decreasing rate under minimal assumptions on the problem coefficients.
In this paper we study the existence of minimizer for certain constrained variational problems given by functionals with nonlocal terms. This type of functionals are first integrals of evolution equations describing long wave propagation and the existence of minimizer gives the existence and the stability of traveling waves for these equations. Due to loss of compactness, the major problem is to prevent dichotomy of minimizing sequences. Our approach is an alternative to the concentration-compactness...
This paper is devoted to the asymptotic behaviour of quadratic forms defined on . More precisely we consider the -convergence of these functionals for the -weak topology. We give an example in which some limit forms are not Markovian and hence the Beurling-Deny representation formula does not hold. This example is obtained by the homogenization of a stratified medium composed of insulating thin-layers.
The purpose of this paper is to study nonnegative solutions u of the nonlinear evolution equations∂u/∂t = Δφ(u), x ∈ Rn, 0 < t < T ≤ +∞ (1.1)Here the nonlinearity φ is assumed to be continuous, increasing with φ(0) = 0. This equation arises in various physical problems, and specializing φ leads to models for nonlinear filtrations, or for the gas flow in a porous medium. For a recent survey in these equations see [9].The main object of this work is to study the initial value problem...
The purpose of this work is to study the class of non-negative continuous weak solutions of the non-linear evolution equation∂u/∂t = ∆φ(u), x ∈ Rn, 0 < t < T ≤ +∞.
In this note we give an overview of recent results in the theory of electrorheological fluids and the theory of function spaces with variable exponents. Moreover, we present a detailed and self-contained exposition of shifted -functions that are used in the studies of generalized Newtonian fluids and problems with -structure.
