A Harnack inequality approach to the regularity of free boundaries. Part I: Lipschitz free boundaries are C1,α.

Luis A. Caffarelli (1987)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

This is the first in a series of papers where we intend to show, in several steps, the existence of classical (or as classical as possible) solutions to a general two-phase free-boundary system. We plan to do so by:(a) constructing rather weak generalized solutions of the free-boundary problems,(b) showing that the free boundary of such solutions have nice measure theoretical properties (i.e., finite (n-1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure and the associated differentiability properties),(c) showing...

A linear extrapolation method for a general phase relaxation problem

Xun Jiang (1996)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

This paper examines a linear extrapolation time-discretization of a 2 D phase relaxation model with temperature dependent convection and reaction. The model consists of a diffusion-advection PDE for temperature and an ODE with double obstacle ± 1 for phase variable. Under a stability constraint, this scheme is shown to converge with optimal orders O τ log τ 1 / 2 for temperature and enthalpy, and O τ 1 / 2 log τ 1 / 2 for heat flux as time-step τ 0 .

A new kind of the solution of degenerate parabolic equation with unbounded convection term

Huashui Zhan (2015)

Open Mathematics

A new kind of entropy solution of Cauchy problem of the strong degenerate parabolic equation [...] is introduced. If u0 ∈ L∞(RN), E = {Ei} ∈ (L2(QT))N and divE ∈ L2(QT), by a modified regularization method and choosing the suitable test functions, the BV estimates are got, the existence of the entropy solution is obtained. At last, by Kruzkov bi-variables method, the stability of the solutions is obtained.

A new numerical model for propagation of tsunami waves

Karel Švadlenka (2007)

Kybernetika

A new model for propagation of long waves including the coastal area is introduced. This model considers only the motion of the surface of the sea under the condition of preservation of mass and the sea floor is inserted into the model as an obstacle to the motion. Thus we obtain a constrained hyperbolic free-boundary problem which is then solved numerically by a minimizing method called the discrete Morse semi-flow. The results of the computation in 1D show the adequacy of the proposed model.

A parallel algorithm for two phase multicomponent contaminant transport

Todd Arbogast, Clint N. Dawson, Mary F. Wheeler (1995)

Applications of Mathematics

We discuss the formulation of a simulator in three spatial dimensions for a multicomponent, two phase (air, water) system of groundwater flow and transport with biodegradation kinetics and wells with multiple screens. The simulator has been developed for parallel, distributed memory, message passing machines. The numerical procedures employed are a fully implicit expanded mixed finite element method for flow and either a characteristics-mixed method or a Godunov method for transport and reactions...

A phase-field model of grain boundary motion

Akio Ito, Nobuyuki Kenmochi, Noriaki Yamazaki (2008)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider a phase-field model of grain structure evolution, which appears in materials sciences. In this paper we study the grain boundary motion model of Kobayashi-Warren-Carter type, which contains a singular diffusivity. The main objective of this paper is to show the existence of solutions in a generalized sense. Moreover, we show the uniqueness of solutions for the model in one-dimensional space.
