Convergence of an entropic semi-discretization for nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations in Rd
The convergence of Rothe’s method in Hölder spaces is discussed. The obtained results are based on uniform boundedness of Rothe’s approximate solutions in Hölder spaces recently achieved by the first author. The convergence and its rate are derived inside a parabolic cylinder assuming an additional compatibility conditions.
In questo lavoro si studia un problema di valori al contorno parabolico non lineare che si incontra nello studio dell'infiltrazione di un gas in un mezzo poroso. Si stabiliscono condizioni sui dati che determinano un comportamento di tipo esponenziale decrescente nel tempo per la soluzione e il suo gradiente. Si costruiscono inoltre stime esplicite.
A class of linear elliptic operators has an important qualitative property, the so-called maximum principle. In this paper we investigate how this property can be preserved on the discrete level when an interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method is applied for the discretization of a 1D elliptic operator. We give mesh conditions for the symmetric and for the incomplete method that establish some connection between the mesh size and the penalty parameter. We then investigate the sharpness of...
-estimates of weak solutions are established for a quasilinear non-diagonal parabolic system with a special structure whose leading terms are modelled by p-Laplacians. A generalization of the weak maximum principle to systems of equations is employed.
The G-function formalism has been widely used in the context of evolutionary games for identifying evolutionarily stable strategies (ESS). This formalism was developed for and applied to point processes. Here, we examine the G-function formalism in the settings of spatial evolutionary games and strategy dynamics, based on reaction-diffusion models. We start by extending the point process maximum principle to reaction-diffusion models with homogeneous, locally stable surfaces. We then develop...
In this work we study a nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation arising in population dynamics. The integral term in the nonlinearity describes nonlocal stimulation of reproduction. We prove existence of travelling wave solutions by the Leray-Schauder method using topological degree for Fredholm and proper operators and special a priori estimates of solutions in weighted Hölder spaces.
