Entropic approximation in kinetic theory

Jacques Schneider (2004)

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

Approximation theory in the context of probability density function turns out to go beyond the classical idea of orthogonal projection. Special tools have to be designed so as to respect the nonnegativity of the approximate function. We develop here and justify from the theoretical point of view an approximation procedure introduced by Levermore [Levermore, J. Stat. Phys. 83 (1996) 1021–1065] and based on an entropy minimization principle under moment constraints. We prove in particular a global...

Existence of weak solutions to doubly degenerate diffusion equations

Aleš Matas, Jochen Merker (2012)

Applications of Mathematics

We prove existence of weak solutions to doubly degenerate diffusion equations u ˙ = Δ p u m - 1 + f ( m , p 2 ) by Faedo-Galerkin approximation for general domains and general nonlinearities. More precisely, we discuss the equation in an abstract setting, which allows to choose function spaces corresponding to bounded or unbounded domains Ω n with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. The function f can be an inhomogeneity or a nonlinearity involving terms of the form f ( u ) or div ( F ( u ) ) . In the appendix, an introduction to weak differentiability...

Investigations of retarded PDEs of second order in time using the method of inertial manifolds with delay

Alexander V. Rezounenko (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Inertial manifold with delay (IMD) for dissipative systems of second order in time is constructed. This result is applied to the study of different asymptotic properties of solutions. Using IMD, we construct approximate inertial manifolds containing all the stationary solutions and give a new characterization of the K-invariant manifold.

Limiting Behavior for an Iterated Viscosity

Ciprian Foias, Michael S. Jolly, Oscar P. Manley (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The behavior of an ordinary differential equation for the low wave number velocity mode is analyzed. This equation was derived in [5] by an iterative process on the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations (NSE). It resembles the NSE in form, except that the kinematic viscosity is replaced by an iterated viscosity which is a partial sum, dependent on the low-mode velocity. The convergence of this sum as the number of iterations is taken to be arbitrarily large is explored. This leads to a limiting...
