The existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in a cylinder Ω and with boundary slip conditions is proved. Assuming that the azimuthal derivative of cylindrical coordinates and azimuthal coordinate of the initial velocity and the external force are sufficiently small we prove long time existence of regular solutions such that the velocity belongs to $W_{5/2}^{2,1}\left(\Omega \times (0,T)\right)$ and the gradient of the pressure to $L_{5/2}\left(\Omega \times (0,T)\right)$. We prove the existence of solutions without any restrictions on the lengths of the...

We consider a class of possibly degenerate second order elliptic operators on ℝⁿ. This class includes hypoelliptic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type operators having an additional first order term with unbounded coefficients. We establish global Schauder estimates in Hölder spaces both for elliptic equations and for parabolic Cauchy problems involving . The Hölder spaces in question are defined with respect to a possibly non-Euclidean metric related to the operator . Schauder estimates are deduced by sharp...

The article deals with a nonlinear generalized Ginzburg-Landau (Allen-Cahn) system of PDEs accounting for nonisothermal phase transition phenomena which was recently derived by A. Miranville and G. Schimperna: Nonisothermal phase separation based on a microforce balance, Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst., Ser. B, 5 (2005), 753–768. The existence of solutions to a related Neumann-Robin problem is established in an $N\le 3$-dimensional space setting. A fixed point procedure guarantees the existence of solutions...

Global solutions of semilinear parabolic equations are studied in the case when some weak a priori estimate for solutions of the problem under consideration is already known. The focus is on the rapid growth of the nonlinear term for which existence of the semigroup and certain dynamic properties of the considered system can be justified. Examples including the famous Cahn-Hilliard equation are finally discussed.

We study the chemotaxis system with singular sensitivity and logistic-type source: $u_t=\Delta u-\chi \nabla ·(u\nabla v/v)+ru-\mu u^k$, $0=\Delta v-v+u$ under the non-flux boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n$, $\chi ,r,\mu >0$, $k>1$ and $n\ge 1$. It is shown with $k\in (1,2)$ that the system possesses a global generalized solution for $n\ge 2$ which is bounded when $\chi >0$ is suitably small related to $r>0$ and the initial datum is properly small, and a global bounded classical solution for $n=1$.

In this article we transform a large class of parabolic inverse problems into a nonclassical parabolic equation whose coefficients consist of trace type functionals of the solution and its derivatives subject to some initial and boundary conditions. For this nonclassical problem, we study finite element methods and present an immediate analysis for global superconvergence for these problems, on basis of which we obtain a posteriori error estimators.

We show the solvability of a nonlinear degenerate parabolic system of two equations describing the displacement of one compressible fluid by another, completely miscible with the first, in a one-dimensional porous medium, neglecting the molecular diffusion. We use the technique of renormalised solutions for parabolic equations in the derivation of a priori estimates for viscosity type solutions. We pass to the limit, as the molecular diffusion coefficient tends to 0, on the parabolic system, owing...

In this paper we prove the existence of a global φ-attractor in the weak topology of the natural phase space for the family of multi-valued processes generated by solutions of a nonautonomous modified 3D Bénard system in unbounded domains for which Poincaré inequality takes place.

The integration to steady state of many initial value ODEs and PDEs using the forward Euler method can alternatively be considered as gradient descent for an associated minimization problem. Greedy algorithms such as steepest descent for determining the step size are as slow to reach steady state as is forward Euler integration with the best uniform step size. But other, much faster methods using bolder step size selection exist. Various alternatives are investigated from both theoretical and practical...

We study, with purely analytic tools, existence, uniqueness and gradient estimates of the solutions to the Neumann problems associated with a second order elliptic operator with unbounded coefficients in spaces of continuous functions in an unbounded open set Ω in ${ℝ}^N$.

This paper addresses the Cauchy problem for the gradient flow equation in a Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}$$$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{u}^{}\hfill \end{array}\right.$$
