The study of small magnetic particles has become a very important topic, in particular for the development of technological devices such as those used for magnetic recording. In this field, switching the magnetization inside the magnetic sample is of particular relevance. We here investigate mathematically this problem by considering the full partial differential model of Landau-Lifschitz equations triggered by a uniform (in space) external magnetic field.

Several abstract model problems of elliptic and parabolic type with inhomogeneous initial and boundary data are discussed. By means of a variant of the Dore-Venni theorem, real and complex interpolation, and trace theorems, optimal $L_p$-regularity is shown. By means of this purely operator theoretic approach, classical results on $L_p$-regularity of the diffusion equation with inhomogeneous Dirichlet or Neumann or Robin condition are recovered. An application to a dynamic boundary value problem with surface...

Reiterated homogenization is studied for divergence structure parabolic problems of the form $\partial u_{\epsilon }/\partial t-div\left(a\left(x,x/\epsilon ,x/{\epsilon }^2,t,t/{\epsilon }^k\right)\nabla u_{\epsilon }\right)=f$. It is shown that under standard assumptions on the function $a(x,y_1,y_2,t,\tau )$ the sequence $\left\{u_{ϵ}\right\}$ of solutions converges weakly in $L^2(0,T;H_0^1\left(\Omega \right))$ to the solution $u$ of the homogenized problem $\partial u/\partial t-div\left(b\right(x,t\left)\nabla u\right)=f$.

We prove an existence result for a class of parabolic problems whose principal part is the $p$-Laplace operator or a more general Leray-Lions type operator, and featuring an additional first order term which grows like ${\left|\nabla u\right|}^p$. Here the spatial domain can have infinite measure, and the data may be not regular enough to ensure the boundedness of solutions. As a consequence, solutions are obtained in a class of functions with exponential integrability. An existence result of bounded solutions is also given...

$\mathrm{\Omega }$ is a bounded open set of ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, of class $C^2$ and $T>0$. In the cylinder $Q=\mathrm{\Omega }\times \left(0,T\right)$ we consider non variational basic operator $a\left(H\left(u\right)\right)-\partial u/\partial t$ where $a\left(\xi \right)$ is a vector in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$, $N\ge 1$, which is continuous in $\xi$ and satisfies the condition (A). It is shown that $\mathrm{\forall }f\in L^2\left(Q\right)$ the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem $u\in W_0^{2,1}\left(Q\right)$, $a\left(H\left(u\right)\right)-\partial u/\partial t=f$ in $Q$, has a unique solution. It is further shown that if $u\in W_0^{2,1}\left(Q\right)$ is a solution of the basic system $a\left(H\left(u\right)\right)-\partial u/\partial t=0$ in $Q$, then $H\left(u\right)$ and $\partial u/\partial t$ belong to $H_{loc}^1\left(Q\right)$. From this the Hölder continuity in $Q$ of the vectors $u$ and $Du$ are deduced respectively when $n\le 4$ and $n=2$.

In this paper, we discuss some generalized stability of solutions to a class of nonlinear impulsive evolution equations in the certain piecewise essentially bounded functions space. Firstly, stabilization of solutions to nonlinear impulsive evolution equations are studied by means of fixed point methods at an appropriate decay rate. Secondly, stable manifolds for the associated singular perturbation problems with impulses are compared with each other. Finally, an example on initial boundary value...

In this paper, we prove the global null controllability of the linear heat equation completed with linear Fourier boundary conditions of the form $\frac{\partial y}{\partial n}+\beta y=0$. We consider distributed controls with support in a small set and nonregular coefficients $\beta =\beta (x,t)$. For the proof of null controllability, a crucial tool will be a new Carleman estimate for the weak solutions of the classical heat equation with nonhomogeneous Neumann boundary conditions.

We prove the interior and boundary null-controllability of some parabolic evolutions with controls acting over measurable sets.

We study the null controllability by one control force of some linear systems of parabolic type. We give sufficient conditions for the null controllability property to be true and, in an abstract setting, we prove that it is not always possible to control.
