On the uniqueness of the second bound state solution of a semilinear equation
We consider viscosity solutions for first order differential-functional equations. Uniqueness theorems for initial, mixed, and boundary value problems are presented. Our theorems include some results for generalized ("almost everywhere") solutions.
We consider the viscous Allen-Cahn and Cahn-Hilliard models with an additional term called the nonlinear Willmore regularization. First, we are interested in the well-posedness of these two models. Furthermore, we prove that both models possess a global attractor. In addition, as far as the viscous Allen-Cahn equation is concerned, we construct a robust family of exponential attractors, i.e. attractors which are continuous with respect to the perturbation parameter. Finally, we give some numerical...
We develop the qualitative theory of the solutions of the McKendrick partial differential equation of population dynamics. We calculate explicitly the weak solutions of the McKendrick equation and of the Lotka renewal integral equation with time and age dependent birth rate. Mortality modulus is considered age dependent. We show the existence of demography cycles. For a population with only one reproductive age class, independently of the stability of the weak solutions and after a transient time,...
Si considerano problemi di controllo ottimale con una dipendenza non lineare tra il controllo e lo stato. Si mostra come in certi casi la continuità di tale dipendenza, quindi la buona posizione nel senso di Tychonov, è connessa alla forma del funzionale costo. In particolare si esamina un problema di Stefan a due fasi con controllo distribuito nel termine di sorgente.
