Finite element discretization of Darcy's equations with pressure dependent porosity
We consider the flow of a viscous incompressible fluid through a rigid homogeneous porous medium. The permeability of the medium depends on the pressure, so that the model is nonlinear. We propose a finite element discretization of this problem and, in the case where the dependence on the pressure is bounded from above and below, we prove its convergence to the solution and propose an algorithm to solve the discrete system. In the case where the dependence on the pressure is exponential, we propose...

Finite speed of propagation for a non-local porous medium equation
This note is concerned with proving the finite speed of propagation for some non-local porous medium equation by adapting arguments developed by Caffarelli and Vázquez (2010).
Finite volume scheme for two-phase flows in heterogeneous porous media involving capillary pressure discontinuities
We study a one-dimensional model for two-phase flows in heterogeneous media, in which the capillary pressure functions can be discontinuous with respect to space. We first give a model, leading to a system of degenerated nonlinear parabolic equations spatially coupled by nonlinear transmission conditions. We approximate the solution of our problem thanks to a monotonous finite volume scheme. The convergence of the underlying discrete solution to a weak solution when the discretization step...

Fundamental solutions and asymptotic behaviour for the p-Laplacian equation.
We establish the uniqueness of fundamental solutions to the p-Laplacian equationut = div (|Du|p-2 Du), p > 2,defined for x ∈ RN, 0 < t < T. We derive from this result the asymptotic behavoir of nonnegative solutions with finite mass, i.e., such that u(*,t) ∈ L1(RN). Our methods also apply to the porous medium equationut = ∆(um), m > 1,giving new and simpler proofs of known results. We finally introduce yet another method of proving asymptotic results based on the...
