The relation between the porous medium and the eikonal equations in several space dimensions.

Pierre-Louis Lions, Panagiotis E. Souganidis, Juan Luis Vázquez (1987)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We study the relation between the porous medium equation ut = Δ(um), m > 1, and the eikonal equation vt = |Dv|2. Under quite general assumtions, we prove that the pressure and the interface of the solution of the Cauchy problem for the porous medium equation converge as m↓1 to the viscosity solution and the interface of the Cauchy problem for the eikonal equation. We also address the same questions for the case of the Dirichlet boundary value problem.

The Singularity Expansion Method applied to the transient motions of a floating elastic plate

Christophe Hazard, François Loret (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper we propose an original approach for the simulation of the time-dependent response of a floating elastic plate using the so-called Singularity Expansion Method. This method consists in computing an asymptotic behaviour for large time obtained by means of the Laplace transform by using the analytic continuation of the resolvent of the problem. This leads to represent the solution as the sum of a discrete superposition of exponentially damped oscillating motions associated to the poles...

The speed of propagation for KPP type problems. I: Periodic framework

Henry Berestycki, François Hamel, Nikolai Nadirashvili (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

This paper is devoted to some nonlinear propagation phenomena in periodic and more general domains, for reaction-diffusion equations with Kolmogorov–Petrovsky–Piskunov (KPP) type nonlinearities. The case of periodic domains with periodic underlying excitable media is a follow-up of the article [7]. It is proved that the minimal speed of pulsating fronts is given by a variational formula involving linear eigenvalue problems. Some consequences concerning the influence of the geometry of the domain,...

The summability of solutions to variational problems since Guido Stampacchia.

Lucio Boccardo (2003)

RACSAM

Inequalities concerning the integral of |∇u|2 on the subsets where |u(x)| is greater than k can be used in order to prove regularity properties of the function u. This method was introduced by Ennio De Giorgi e Guido Stampacchia for the study of the regularity of the solutions of Dirichlet problems.
