Influence of diffusion on interactions between malignant gliomas and immune system

Urszula Foryś (2010)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We analyse the influence of diffusion and space distribution of cells in a simple model of interactions between an activated immune system and malignant gliomas, among which the most aggressive one is GBM Glioblastoma Multiforme. It turns out that diffusion cannot affect stability of spatially homogeneous steady states. This suggests that there are two possible outcomes-the solution is either attracted by the positive steady state or by the semitrivial one. The semitrivial steady state describes...

Influence of Vibrations on Convective Instability of Reaction Fronts in Liquids

K. Allali, F. Bikany, A. Taik, V. Volpert (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Propagation of polymerization fronts with liquid monomer and liquid polymer is considered and the influence of vibrations on critical conditions of convective instability is studied. The model includes the heat equation, the equation for the concentration and the Navier-Stokes equations considered under the Boussinesq approximation. Linear stability analysis of the problem is fulfilled, and the convective instability boundary is found depending on...

Influence of Vibrations on Convective Instability of Reaction Fronts in Porous Media

H. Aatif, K. Allali, K. El Karouni (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of vibrations on convective instability of reaction fronts in porous media. The model contains reaction-diffusion equations coupled with the Darcy equation. Linear stability analysis is carried out and the convective instability boundary is found. The results are compared with direct numerical simulations.

Inhomogeneous parabolic Neumann problems

Robin Nittka (2014)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Second order parabolic equations on Lipschitz domains subject to inhomogeneous Neumann (or, more generally, Robin) boundary conditions are studied. Existence and uniqueness of weak solutions and their continuity up to the boundary of the parabolic cylinder are proved using methods from the theory of integrated semigroups, showing in particular the well-posedness of the abstract Cauchy problem in spaces of continuous functions. Under natural assumptions on the coefficients and the inhomogeneity the...

Initial boundary value problem for generalized Zakharov equations

Shujun You, Boling Guo, Xiaoqi Ning (2012)

Applications of Mathematics

This paper considers the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the initial boundary value problem for a class of generalized Zakharov equations in ( 2 + 1 ) dimensions, and proves the global existence of the solution to the problem by a priori integral estimates and the Galerkin method.

Initial traces of solutions to a one-phase Stefan problem in an infinite strip.

Daniele Andreucci, Marianne K. Korten (1993)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

The main result of this paper is an integral estimate valid for non-negative solutions (with no reference to initial data) u ∈ L1loc (Rn x (0,T)) to(0.1)   ut - Δ(u - 1)+ = 0,  in D'(Rn x (0,T)),for T > 0, n ≥ 1. Equation (0.1) is a formulation of a one-phase Stefan problem: in this connection u is the enthalpy, (u - 1)+ the temperature, and u = 1 the critical temperature of change of phase. Our estimate may be written in the form(0.2)  ∫Rn u(x,t) e-|x|2 / (2 (T - t)) dx ≤ C,   0 <...

Instability of mixed finite elements for Richards' equation

Březina, Jan (2010)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

Richards' equation is a widely used model of partially saturated flow in a porous medium. In order to obtain conservative velocity field several authors proposed to use mixed or mixed-hybrid schemes to solve the equation. In this paper, we shall analyze the mixed scheme on 1D domain and we show that it violates the discrete maximum principle which leads to catastrophic oscillations in the solution.

Instability of oscillations in cable-stayed bridges

Josef Malík (2005)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper the stability of two basic types of cable stayed bridges, suspended by one or two rows of cables, is studied. Two linearized models of the center span describing the vertical and torsional oscillations are investigated. After the analysis of these models, a stability criterion is formulated. The criterion expresses a relation between the eigenvalues of the vertical and torsional oscillations of the center span. The continuous dependence of the eigenvalues on some data is studied and...
