A characterization of convex calibrable sets in with respect to anisotropic norms
The celebrated criterion of Petrowsky for the regularity of the latest boundary point, originally formulated for the heat equation, is extended to the so-called p-parabolic equation. A barrier is constructed by the aid of the Barenblatt solution.
A classical model for three-phase capillary immiscible flows in a porous medium is considered. Capillarity pressure functions are found, with a corresponding diffusion-capillarity tensor being triangular. The model is reduced to a degenerate quasilinear parabolic system. A global existence theorem is proved under some hypotheses on the model data.
We prove a generalized maximum principle for subsolutions of boundary value problems, with mixed type unilateral conditions, associated to a degenerate parabolic second-order operator in divergence form.
A new kind of entropy solution of Cauchy problem of the strong degenerate parabolic equation [...] is introduced. If u0 ∈ L∞(RN), E = {Ei} ∈ (L2(QT))N and divE ∈ L2(QT), by a modified regularization method and choosing the suitable test functions, the BV estimates are got, the existence of the entropy solution is obtained. At last, by Kruzkov bi-variables method, the stability of the solutions is obtained.
We present some results on the mathematical treatment of a global two-dimensional diffusive climate model. The model is based on a long time averaged energy balance and leads to a nonlinear parabolic equation for the averaged surface temperature. The spatial domain is a compact two-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary simulating the Earth. We prove the existence of bounded weak solutions via a fixed point argument. Although, the uniqueness of solutions may fail, in general, we give a...
We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions for the Dirichlet problem for quasilinear parabolic equations in divergent form for which the energy functional has linear growth.
This paper is devoted to the study of a posteriori error estimates for the scalar nonlinear convection-diffusion-reaction equation . The estimates for the error between the exact solution and an upwind finite volume approximation to the solution are derived in the -norm, independent of the diffusion parameter . The resulting a posteriori error estimate is used to define an grid adaptive solution algorithm for the finite volume scheme. Finally numerical experiments underline the applicability...
This paper is devoted to the study of a posteriori error estimates for the scalar nonlinear convection-diffusion-reaction equation . The estimates for the error between the exact solution and an upwind finite volume approximation to the solution are derived in the L1-norm, independent of the diffusion parameter D. The resulting a posteriori error estimate is used to define an grid adaptive solution algorithm for the finite volume scheme. Finally numerical experiments underline the applicability...
