On the solution of reaction-diffusion equations with double diffusivity.
In this paper we discuss inverse problems in infiltration. We propose an efficient method for identification of model parameters, e.g., soil parameters for unsaturated porous media. Our concept is strongly based on the finite speed of propagation of the wetness front during the infiltration into a dry region. We determine the unknown parameters from the corresponding ODE system arising from the original porous media equation. We use the automatic differentiation implemented in the ODE solver LSODA....
Stability and asymptotic stability of the solutions of impulsive nonlinear pa ra bo lic equations are studied via the method of differential inequalities.
We consider a nonlinear differential-functional parabolic boundary initial value problem (1) ⎧A z + f(x,z(t,x),z(t,·)) - ∂z/∂t = 0 for t > 0, x ∈ G, ⎨z(t,x) = h(x) for t > 0, x ∈ ∂G, ⎩z(0,x) = φ₀(x) for x ∈ G, and the associated elliptic boundary value problem with Dirichlet condition (2) ⎧Az + f(x,z(x),z(·)) = 0 for x ∈ G, ⎨z(x) = h(x) for x ∈ ∂G ⎩ where , G is an open and bounded domain with (0 < α ≤ 1) boundary, the operator Az := ∑j,k=1m ajk(x) (∂²z/(∂xj ∂xk)) is...
We consider the multidimensional two-phase Stefan problem with a small parameter κ in the Stefan condition, due to which the problem becomes singularly perturbed. We prove unique solvability and a coercive uniform (with respect to κ) estimate of the solution of the Stefan problem for t ≤ T₀, T₀ independent of κ, and the existence and estimate of the solution of the Florin problem (Stefan problem with κ = 0) in Hölder spaces.
Vengono trattati due problemi di Stefan con la specificazione dell'energia. Dapprima si fornisce una formulazione debole di un problema unidimensionale ad una fase studiato in [4]: si dimostra un risultato di esistenza. In seguito si considera un problema di Stefan pluridimensionale e multifase in cui viene assegnata l'energia totale del sistema ad ogni istante; si mostra l’esistenza e l’unicità della soluzione per due formulazioni provando inoltre l’equivalenza fra queste.
