A two-dimensional inverse heat conduction problem for estimating heat source.
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...
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...
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...
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 of an elliptic equation, that we write , can be compared pointwise with the solution of the symmetrized problem. The main question we address here is the modification of the method to...
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 with a smooth boundary. We suppose that the additive noise is induced by a Q-Brownian motion.
This paper is devoted to a study of harmonic mappings of a harmonic space on a harmonic space which are related to a family of harmonic mappings of into . In this way balayage in may be reduced to balayage in . In particular, a subset of is polar if and only if is polar. Similar result for thinness. These considerations are applied to the heat equation and the Laplace equation.
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 , 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...
We study the absence of nonnegative global solutions to parabolic inequalities of the type , where , 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 , where a ≥ 0, b > 0, p > 1 and V₊(x): = maxV(x),0. We...
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...
