Global solutions of semilinear parabolic equations are studied in the case when some weak a priori estimate for solutions of the problem under consideration is already known. The focus is on the rapid growth of the nonlinear term for which existence of the semigroup and certain dynamic properties of the considered system can be justified. Examples including the famous Cahn-Hilliard equation are finally discussed.
We study the chemotaxis system with singular sensitivity and logistic-type source: , under the non-flux boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain , , and . It is shown with that the system possesses a global generalized solution for which is bounded when is suitably small related to and the initial datum is properly small, and a global bounded classical solution for .
In this paper we prove the existence of a global φ-attractor in the weak topology of the natural phase space for the family of multi-valued processes generated by solutions of a nonautonomous modified 3D Bénard system in unbounded domains for which Poincaré inequality takes place.
Let be a closed polarized complex manifold of Kähler type. Let be the maximal compact subgroup of the automorphism group of . On the space of Kähler metrics that are invariant under and represent the cohomology class , we define a flow equation whose critical points are the extremal metrics,i.e.those that minimize the square of the -norm of the scalar curvature. We prove that the dynamical system in this space of metrics defined by the said flow does not have periodic orbits, and that its...
This paper deals with the numerical study of a nonlinear, strongly anisotropic heat equation. The use of standard schemes in this situation leads to poor results, due to the high anisotropy. An Asymptotic-Preserving method is introduced in this paper, which is second-order accurate in both, temporal and spacial variables. The discretization in time is done using an L-stable Runge−Kutta scheme. The convergence of the method is shown to be independent of the anisotropy parameter , and this for fixed...
Hölder continuity of weak solutions is studied for a nondiagonal parabolic system of singular quasilinear differential equations with matrix of coefficients satisfying special structure conditions. A technique based on estimating linear combinations of the unknowns is employed.
In this work we consider a diffusion problem in a periodic composite having three phases: matrix, fibers and interphase. The heat conductivities of the medium vary periodically with a period of size ( and ) in the transverse directions of the fibers. In addition, we assume that the conductivity of the interphase material and the anisotropy contrast of the material in the fibers are of the same order (the so-called double-porosity type scaling) while the matrix material has a conductivity of...
We consider a quasilinear parabolic problem with time dependent coefficients oscillating rapidly in the space variable. The existence and uniqueness results are proved by using Rothe’s method combined with the technique of two-scale convergence. Moreover, we derive a concrete homogenization algorithm for giving a unique and computable approximation of the solution.
The gradient flow of bending energy for plane curve is studied. The flow is considered under two kinds of constraints; one is under the area and total-length constraints; the other is under the area and local-length constraints. The fundamental results (the local existence and uniqueness) were obtained independently by Kurihara and the second author for the former one; by Okabe for the later one. For the former one the global existence was shown for any smooth initial curves, but the asymptotic...
