Irregularity of Turing patterns in the Thomas model with a unilateral term

Rybář, Vojtěch, Vejchodský, Tomáš (2015)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

In this contribution we add a unilateral term to the Thomas model and investigate the resulting Turing patterns. We show that the unilateral term yields nonsymmetric and irregular patterns. This contrasts with the approximately symmetric and regular patterns of the classical Thomas model. In addition, the unilateral term yields Turing patterns even for smaller ratio of diffusion constants. These conclusions accord with the recent findings about the influence of the unilateral term in a model for...

Iteratively solving a kind of Signorini transmission problem in a unbounded domain

Qiya Hu, Dehao Yu (2005)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

In this paper, we are concerned with a kind of Signorini transmission problem in a unbounded domain. A variational inequality is derived when discretizing this problem by coupled FEM-BEM. To solve such variational inequality, an iterative method, which can be viewed as a variant of the D-N alternative method, will be introduced. In the iterative method, the finite element part and the boundary element part can be solved independently. It will be shown that the convergence speed of this iteration...

Kac’s chaos and Kac’s program

Stéphane Mischler (2012/2013)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

In this note I present the main results about the quantitative and qualitative propagation of chaos for the Boltzmann-Kac system obtained in collaboration with C. Mouhot in [33] which gives a possible answer to some questions formulated by Kac in [25]. We also present some related recent results about Kac’s chaos and Kac’s program obtained in [34, 23, 13] by K. Carrapatoso, M. Hauray, C. Mouhot, B. Wennberg and myself.

KdV Equation in the Quarter–Plane: Evolution of the Weyl Functions and Unbounded Solutions

A. Sakhnovich (2012)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The matrix KdV equation with a negative dispersion term is considered in the right upper quarter–plane. The evolution law is derived for the Weyl function of a corresponding auxiliary linear system. Using the low energy asymptotics of the Weyl functions, the unboundedness of solutions is obtained for some classes of the initial–boundary conditions.

Kinetic equations with Maxwell boundary conditions

Stéphane Mischler (2010)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We prove global stability results of DiPerna-Lionsrenormalized solutions for the initial boundary value problem associated to some kinetic equations, from which existence results classically follow. The (possibly nonlinear) boundary conditions are completely or partially diffuse, which includes the so-called Maxwell boundary conditions, and we prove that it is realized (it is not only a boundary inequality condition as it has been established in previous works). We are able to deal with Boltzmann,...

Kink solutions of the binormal flow

Luis Vega (2003)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

I shall present some recent work in collaboration with S. Gutierrez on the characterization of all selfsimilar solutions of the binormal flow : X t = X s × X s s which preserve the length parametrization. Above X ( s , t ) is a curve in 3 , s the arclength parameter, and t denote the temporal variable. This flow appeared for the first time in the work of Da Rios (1906) as a crude approximation to the evolution of a vortex filament under Euler equation, and it is intimately related to the focusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger...

Klein-Gordon type decay rates for wave equations with time-dependent coefficients

Michael Reissig, Karen Yagdjian (2000)

Banach Center Publications

This work is concerned with the proof of L p - L q decay estimates for solutions of the Cauchy problem for the Klein-Gordon type equation u t t - λ 2 ( t ) b 2 ( t ) ( Δ u - m 2 u ) = 0 . The coefficient consists of an increasing smooth function λ and an oscillating smooth and bounded function b which are uniformly separated from zero. Moreover, m 2 is a positive constant. We study under which assumptions for λ and b one can expect as an essential part of the decay rate the classical Klein-Gordon decay rate n/2(1/p-1/q).

Koiter shell governed by strongly monotone constitutive equations

Piotr Kalita (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper we use the theory of monotone operators to generalize the linear shell model presented in (Blouza and Le Dret, 1999) to a class of physically nonlinear models. We present a family of nonlinear constitutive equations, for which we prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the presented nonlinear model, as well as the convergence of the Galerkin method. We also present the physical discussion of the model.
