existence and uniqueness results for quasi-linear elliptic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions
An -estimate of the finite element error is proved for a Dirichlet and a Neumann boundary value problem on a three-dimensional, prismatic and non-convex domain that is discretized by an anisotropic tetrahedral mesh. To this end, an approximation error estimate for an interpolation operator that is preserving the Dirichlet boundary conditions is given. The challenge for the Neumann problem is the proof of a local interpolation error estimate for functions from a weighted Sobolev space.
The aim of this note is to give a short review of our recent work (see [5]) with Miguel A. Alejo and Luis Vega, concerning the -stability, and asymptotic stability, of the -soliton of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation.
The -stability (instability) of a binary nonlinear reaction diffusion system of P.D.E.s - either under Dirichlet or Neumann boundary data - is considered. Conditions allowing the reduction to a stability (instability) problem for a linear binary system of O.D.E.s are furnished. A peculiar Liapunov functional linked (together with the time derivative along the solutions) by direct simple relations to the eigenvalues, is used.
The semi-group associated with the Cauchy problem for a scalar conservation law is known to be a contraction in . However it is not a contraction in for any . Leger showed in [20] that for a convex flux, it is however a contraction in up to a suitable shift. We investigate in this paper whether such a contraction may happen for systems. The method is based on the relative entropy method. Our general analysis leads us to the new geometrical notion of Genuinely non-Temple systems. We treat in...
The Cauchy problem for first order system is known to be well-posed in when it admits a microlocal symmetrizer which is smooth in and Lipschitz continuous in . This paper contains three main results. First we show that a Lipschitz smoothness globally in is sufficient. Second, we show that the existence of symmetrizers with a given smoothness is equivalent to the existence of full symmetrizers having the same smoothness. This notion was first introduced in [FL67]. This is the key point...
