Regularity for entropy solutions of a class of parabolic equations with irregular data

Fengquan Li (2007)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Using as a main tool the time-regularizing convolution operator introduced by R. Landes, we obtain regularity results for entropy solutions of a class of parabolic equations with irregular data. The results are obtained in a very general setting and include known previous results.

Remarks on non controllability of the heat equation with memory

Sergio Guerrero, Oleg Yurievich Imanuvilov (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we deal with the null controllability problem for the heat equation with a memory term by means of boundary controls. For each positive final time T and when the control is acting on the whole boundary, we prove that there exists a set of initial conditions such that the null controllability property fails.

Segmentation of MRI data by means of nonlinear diffusion

Radomír Chabiniok, Radek Máca, Michal Beneš, Jaroslav Tintěra (2013)

Kybernetika

The article focuses on the application of the segmentation algorithm based on the numerical solution of the Allen-Cahn non-linear diffusion partial differential equation. This equation is related to the motion of curves by mean curvature. It exhibits several suitable mathematical properties including stable solution profile. This allows the user to follow accurately the position of the segmentation curve by bringing it quickly to the vicinity of the segmented object and by approaching the details...

Semiclassical limit of a simplified quantum energy-transport model for bipolar semiconductors

Sungjin Ra, Choljin Jang, Jinmyong Hong (2024)

Applications of Mathematics

We are concerned with a simplified quantum energy-transport model for bipolar semiconductors, which consists of nonlinear parabolic fourth-order equations for the electron and hole density; degenerate elliptic heat equations for the electron and hole temperature; and Poisson equation for the electric potential. For the periodic boundary value problem in the torus 𝕋 d , the global existence of weak solutions is proved, based on a time-discretization, an entropy-type estimate, and a fixed-point argument....

Short-time heat flow and functions of bounded variation in R N

Michele Miranda, Diego Pallara, Fabio Paronetto, Marc Preunkert (2007)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We prove a characterisation of sets with finite perimeter and B V functions in terms of the short time behaviour of the heat semigroup in R N . For sets with smooth boundary a more precise result is shown.
