A variational approach to bifurcation in reaction-diffusion systems with Signorini type boundary conditions

Jamol I. Baltaev, Milan Kučera, Martin Väth (2012)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider a simple reaction-diffusion system exhibiting Turing's diffusion driven instability if supplemented with classical homogeneous mixed boundary conditions. We consider the case when the Neumann boundary condition is replaced by a unilateral condition of Signorini type on a part of the boundary and show the existence and location of bifurcation of stationary spatially non-homogeneous solutions. The nonsymmetric problem is reformulated as a single variational inequality with a potential...

A variational approach to bifurcation points of a reaction-diffusion system with obstacles and Neumann boundary conditions

Jan Eisner, Milan Kučera, Martin Väth (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

Given a reaction-diffusion system which exhibits Turing's diffusion-driven instability, the influence of unilateral obstacles of opposite sign (source and sink) on bifurcation and critical points is studied. In particular, in some cases it is shown that spatially nonhomogeneous stationary solutions (spatial patterns) bifurcate from a basic spatially homogeneous steady state for an arbitrarily small ratio of diffusions of inhibitor and activator, while a sufficiently large ratio is necessary in the...

A variational inequality for discontinuous solutions of degenerate parabolic equations.

Lorina Dascal, Shoshana Kamin, Nir A. Sochen (2005)

RACSAM

The Beltrami framework for image processing and analysis introduces a non-linear parabolic problem, called in this context the Beltrami flow. We study in the framework for functions of bounded variation, the well-posedness of the Beltrami flow in the one-dimensional case. We prove existence and uniqueness of the weak solution using lower semi-continuity results for convex functions of measures. The solution is defined via a variational inequality, following Temam?s technique for the evolution problem...

A weighted symmetrization for nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations in inhomogeneous media

Guillermo Reyes, Juan Luis Vázquez (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

In the theory of elliptic equations, the technique of Schwarz symmetrization is one of the tools used to obtain a priori bounds for classical and weak solutions in terms of general information on the data. A basic result says that, in the absence of lower-order terms, the symmetric rearrangement of the solution u of an elliptic equation, that we write u * , can be compared pointwise with the solution of the symmetrized problem. The main question we address here is the modification of the method to...

A well-posedness result for a mass conserved Allen-Cahn equation with nonlinear diffusion

Kettani, Perla El, Hilhorst, Danielle, Lee, Kai (2017)

Proceedings of Equadiff 14

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the initial boundary value problem for a stochastic mass conserved Allen-Cahn equation with nonlinear diffusion together with a homogeneous Neumann boundary condition in an open bounded domain of n with a smooth boundary. We suppose that the additive noise is induced by a Q-Brownian motion.

Abbildungen harmonischer Raüme mit Anwendung auf die Laplace und Wärmeleitungsgleichung

Wolfhard Hansen (1971)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

This paper is devoted to a study of harmonic mappings φ of a harmonic space E ˜ on a harmonic space E which are related to a family of harmonic mappings of E ˜ into E ˜ . In this way balayage in E may be reduced to balayage in E . In particular, a subset A of E is polar if and only if φ - 1 ( A ) is polar. Similar result for thinness. These considerations are applied to the heat equation and the Laplace equation.

Absence de principe du maximum pour certaines équations paraboliques complexes

Pascal Auscher, Thierry Coulhon, Philippe Tchamitchian (1996)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Le but de cette note est de montrer que le principe du maximum, même dans une version affaiblie, n’est pas vérifıé pour la classe des opérateurs paraboliques du type d / d t + L , où L est un opérateur différentiel elliptique d’ordre 2 sous forme divergence à coefficients complexes mesurables et bornés en dimension supérieure ou égale à 5. Le principe de démonstration repose sur un résultat abstrait de la théorie des semi-groupes permettant d’utiliser le contre-exemple présenté dans [MNP] à la régularité des...

Absence of global solutions to a class of nonlinear parabolic inequalities

M. Guedda (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study the absence of nonnegative global solutions to parabolic inequalities of the type u t - ( - Δ ) β / 2 u - V ( x ) u + h ( x , t ) u p , where ( - Δ ) β / 2 , 0 < β ≤ 2, is the β/2 fractional power of the Laplacian. We give a sufficient condition which implies that the only global solution is trivial if p > 1 is small. Among other properties, we derive a necessary condition for the existence of local and global nonnegative solutions to the above problem for the function V satisfying V ( x ) a | x | - b , where a ≥ 0, b > 0, p > 1 and V₊(x): = maxV(x),0. We...

Absolute continuity for elliptic-caloric measures

Caroline Sweezy (1996)

Studia Mathematica

A Carleson condition on the difference function for the coefficients of two elliptic-caloric operators is shown to give absolute continuity of one measure with respect to the other on the lateral boundary. The elliptic operators can have time dependent coefficients and only one of them is assumed to have a measure which is doubling. This theorem is an extension of a result of B. Dahlberg [4] on absolute continuity for elliptic measures to the case of the heat equation. The method of proof is an...
