The Asymptotics of the Heat Equation for a Boundary Value Problem.
In contradistinction to former results, the error bounds introduced in this paper are given for fully discretized approximate soltuions of parabolic equations and for arbitrary curved domains. Simplicial isoparametric elements in -dimensional space are applied. Degrees of accuracy of quadrature formulas are determined so that numerical integration does not worsen the optimal order of convergence in -norm of the method.
We show that the study of the principal spectrum of a linear nonautonomous parabolic PDE of second order on a bounded domain, with the Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions, reduces to the investigation of the spectrum of the linear nonautonomous ODE v̇ = a(t)v.
In [2] we proved two kinds of mechanisms of preventing the blow up in a quasilinear non-uniformly parabolic Keller-Segel systems. One of them was a priori boundedness from below of the Lyapunov functional. In fact, we were able to present a condition under which the Lyapunov functional is bounded from below and a solution exists globally. In the present paper we prove that whenever the Lyapunov functional is bounded from below the solution exists globally.
