Existence and regularity of a global attractor for doubly nonlinear parabolic equations.
The theory of maximal monotone operators is applied to prove the existence of weak periodic solutions for a nonlinear nonlocal problem. The stability of these solutions is a consequence of the Lipschitz continuous assumption on the diffusivity matrix and the death rate.
For a class of semi-abstract evolution equations for sections on vector bundles on a three-dimensional compact manifold we prove that for initial values with certain symmetries strong solutions exist for all times. In case these solutions become small after some time, strong solutions exist also for small perturbations of these initial values. Many systems from fluid mechanics are included in this class.
A thermodynamically consistent model of shape memory alloys in three dimensions is studied. The thermoelasticity system, based on the strain tensor, its gradient and the absolute temperature, generalizes the well-known one-dimensional Falk model. Under simplifying structural assumptions we prove global in time existence and uniqueness of the solution.
We consider the following quasilinear parabolic equation of degenerate type with convection term ut = φ (u)xx + b(u)x in (-L,0) x (0,T). We solve the associate initial-boundary data problem, with nonlinear flux conditions. This problem describes the evaporation of an incompressible fluid from a homogeneous porous media. The nonlinear condition in x = 0 means that the flow of fluid leaving the porous media depends on variable meteorological conditions and in a nonlinear manner on u. In x = -L we...
We give some results on the existence, uniqueness and regularity of a nonlinear evolution system. This system models the viscoelastic behaviour of unicellular marine alga Acetabularia mediterrania when the calcium concentration varies. We show (with the aid of a fixed-point theorem) that the system admits a unique local solution in time.
In this paper, we are concerned with the semilinear parabolic equation ∂u/∂t - Δu = g(t,x,u) if u = 0 if , where is a bounded domain with smooth boundary ∂Ω and is T-periodic with respect to the first variable. The existence and the multiplicity of T-periodic solutions for this problem are shown when g(t,x,ξ)/ξ lies between two higher eigenvalues of - Δ in Ω with the Dirichlet boundary condition as ξ → ±∞.
