Global solutions to some nonlinear dissipative mildly degenerate Kirchhoff equations.
We consider the damped wave equation on the whole real line, where is a bistable potential. This equation has travelling front solutions of the form which describe a moving interface between two different steady states of the system, one of which being the global minimum of . We show that, if the initial data are sufficiently close to the profile of a front for large , the solution of the damped wave equation converges uniformly on to a travelling front as . The proof of this global stability...
Global time estimates of norms of solutions to general strictly hyperbolic partial differential equations are considered. The case of special interest in this paper are equations exhibiting the dissipative behaviour. Results are applied to discuss time decay estimates for Fokker-Planck equations and for wave type equations with negative mass.
We consider a one-dimensional porous-elastic system with porous-viscosity and a distributed delay of neutral type. First, we prove the global existence and uniqueness of the solution by using the Faedo-Galerkin approximations along with some energy estimates. Then, based on the energy method with some appropriate assumptions on the kernel of neutral delay term, we construct a suitable Lyapunov functional and we prove that, despite of the destructive nature of delays in general, the damping mechanism...
This paper is concerned with the numerical approximation of Cauchy problems for one-dimensional nonconservative hyperbolic systems. The theory developed by Dal Maso et al. [J. Math. Pures Appl.74 (1995) 483–548] is used in order to define the weak solutions of the system: an interpretation of the nonconservative products as Borel measures is given, based on the choice of a family of paths drawn in the phase space. Even if the family of paths can be chosen arbitrarily, it is natural to require this...
