A quasi-variational inequality problem arising in the modeling of growing sandpiles

John W. Barrett, Leonid Prigozhin (2013)

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

Existence of a solution to the quasi-variational inequality problem arising in a model for sand surface evolution has been an open problem for a long time. Another long-standing open problem concerns determining the dual variable, the flux of sand pouring down the evolving sand surface, which is also of practical interest in a variety of applications of this model. Previously, these problems were solved for the special case in which the inequality is simply variational. Here, we introduce a regularized...

A singular equation with positive and free boundary solutions.

Juan Dávila, Marcelo Montenegro (2003)

RACSAM

Para 0 < β < 1 consideramos la ecuación -Δu = χ{u > 0} (-u-β + λf(x, u)) en Ω­ con condición de borde tipo Dirichlet. Esta ecuación posee una solución maximal uλ ≥ 0 para todo λ > 0. Si λ es menor que una cierta constante λ*, uλ se anula en el interior del dominio creando una frontera libre, y para λ > λ* esta solución es positiva en Ω­ y estable. Establecemos la regularidad de uλ incluso en presencia de una frontera libre. Para λ ≥ λ* la solución del problema...

A stability result in the localization of cavities in a thermic conducting medium

B. Canuto, Edi Rosset, S. Vessella (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We prove a logarithmic stability estimate for a parabolic inverse problem concerning the localization of unknown cavities in a thermic conducting medium Ω in n , n 2 , from a single pair of boundary measurements of temperature and thermal flux.
