Free Boundary Problems Associated with Multiscale Tumor Models

A. Friedman (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

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...

Free boundary regularity in Stefan type problems

Ioannis Athanasopoulos (2004)

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

Regularity results of free boundaries for Stefan type problems are discussed. The influence that curvature may have on the behavior of the free boundary is studied and various open problems are also mentioned.

Generation of Interface for an Allen-Cahn Equation with Nonlinear Diffusion

M. Alfaro, D. Hilhorst (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In this note, we consider a nonlinear diffusion equation with a bistable reaction term arising in population dynamics. Given a rather general initial data, we investigate its behavior for small times as the reaction coefficient tends to infinity: we prove a generation of interface property.

Global existence of solutions of the free boundary problem for the equations of magnetohydrodynamic compressible fluid

Piotr Kacprzyk (2005)

Banach Center Publications

Global existence of solutions for equations describing a motion of magnetohydrodynamic compresible fluid in a domain bounded by a free surface is proved. In the exterior domain we have an electromagnetic field which is generated by some currents located on a fixed boundary. We have proved that the domain occupied by the fluid remains close to the initial domain for all time.

Gradient theory for plasticity via homogenization of discrete dislocations

Adriana Garroni, Giovanni Leoni, Marcello Ponsiglione (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We deduce a macroscopic strain gradient theory for plasticity from a model of discrete dislocations. We restrict our analysis to the case of a cylindrical symmetry for the crystal under study, so that the mathematical formulation will involve a two-dimensional variational problem. The dislocations are introduced as point topological defects of the strain fields, for which we compute the elastic energy stored outside the so-called core region. We show that the Γ -limit of this energy (suitably rescaled),...
