Entropy solutions to a second order forward-backward parabolic differential equation.
In this paper, we present and study a mixed variational method in order to approximate, with the finite element method, a Stokes problem with Tresca friction boundary conditions. These non-linear boundary conditions arise in the modeling of mold filling process by polymer melt, which can slip on a solid wall. The mixed formulation is based on a dualization of the non-differentiable term which define the slip conditions. Existence and uniqueness of both continuous and discrete solutions of these...
We establish the existence and stability of multidimensional transonic shocks (hyperbolic-elliptic shocks), which are not nearly orthogonal to the flow direction, for the Euler equations for steady compressible potential fluids in unbounded domains in . The Euler equations can be written as a second order nonlinear equation of mixed hyperbolic-elliptic type for the velocity potential. The transonic shock problem can be formulated into the following free boundary problem: The free boundary is the...
The present paper introduces a tumor model with two time scales, the time t during which the tumor grows and the cycle time of individual cells. The model also includes the effects of gene mutations on the population density of the tumor cells. The model is formulated as a free boundary problem for a coupled system of elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic equations within the tumor region, with nonlinear and nonlocal terms. Existence and uniqueness theorems are proved, and properties of the free boundary...
A model of chemotaxis is analyzed that prevents blow-up of solutions. The model consists of a system of nonlinear partial differential equations for the spatial population density of a species and the spatial concentration of a chemoattractant in n-dimensional space. We prove the existence of solutions, which exist globally, and are L∞-bounded on finite time intervals. The hypotheses require nonlocal conditions on the species-induced production of the chemoattractant.
The Cauchy problem of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with inertial term in multi space dimension is considered. Based on detailed analysis of Green’s function, using fixed-point theorem, we get the global existence in time of classical solution with large initial data. Furthermore, we get decay rate of the solution.
Results on the global existence and uniqueness of variational solutions to an elliptic-parabolic problem occurring in statistical mechanics are provided.
This paper considers the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the initial boundary value problem for a class of generalized Zakharov equations in dimensions, and proves the global existence of the solution to the problem by a priori integral estimates and the Galerkin method.
The computation of nonlinear quasistationary two-dimensional magnetic fields leads to a nonlinear second order parabolic-elliptic initial-boundary value problem. Such a problem with a nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition on a part of the boundary is studied in this paper. The problem is discretized in space by the finite element method with linear functions on triangular elements and in time by the implicit-explicit method (the left-hand side by the implicit Euler method and the right-hand...
