Embeddedness and uniqueness of minimal surfaces solving a partially free boundary value problem.
The phase relaxation model is a diffuse interface model with small parameter ε which consists of a parabolic PDE for temperature θ and an ODE with double obstacles for phase variable χ. To decouple the system a semi-explicit Euler method with variable step-size τ is used for time discretization, which requires the stability constraint τ ≤ ε. Conforming piecewise linear finite elements over highly graded simplicial meshes with parameter h are further employed for space discretization. A posteriori...
This note addresses the Cauchy problem for the gradient flow equation in a Hilbert space
We prove the local existence of solutions for equations of motion of a viscous compressible barotropic fluid in a domain bounded by a free surface. The solutions are shown to exist in exactly those function spaces where global solutions were found in our previous papers [14, 15].
