Existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions for a model of contaminant flow in porous medium.
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 → ±∞.
