Homogenization of a parabolic equation in perforated domain with Dirichlet boundary condition

In this article, we study the homogenization of the family of parabolic equations over periodically perforated domains . Here, Ω_ɛ = ΩS _ε is a periodically perforated domain andd _ε is a sequence of positive numbers which goes to zero. We obtain the homogenized equation. The homogenization of the equations on a fixed domain and also the case of perforated domain with Neumann boundary condition was studied by the authors. The homogenization for a fixed domain and has been done by Jian. We also obtain certain corrector results to improve the weak convergence.

In this paper,we consider the following chemotaxis model with ratio-dependent logistic reaction term u/t=D▽(▽u-u▽ω/ω)+u(α-bu/ω),(x,t)∈QT,ω/t=βu-δω,(x,t)∈QT,u▽㏑(u/w)·=0,x ∈Ω,0tT,u(x,0)=u0(x)0,x ∈,w(x,0)=w0(x)0,x ∈,It is shown that the solution to the problem exists globally if b+β≥0 and will blow up or quench if b+β0 by means of function transformation and comparison method.Various asymptotic behavior related to different coefficients and initial data is also discussed.

Homogenization of quasi-linear equations with natural growth terms

In this paper we deal with the limit behaviour of the bounded solutions u_ε of quasi-linear equations of the form of Ω with Dirichlet boundary conditions on σΩ. The map a=a(x,ϕ) is periodic in x, monotone in ϕ, and satisfies suitable coerciveness and growth conditions. The function H=H(x,s,ϕ) is assumed to be periodic in x, continuous in [s,ϕ] and to grow at most like |ξ|^p. Under these assumptions on a and H we prove that there exists a function H⁰=H⁰(s,ϕ) with the same behaviour of H, such that, up to a subsequence, (u_ε) converges to a solution u of the homogenized problem -div(b(Du)) + γ|u|^p-2u = H⁰(u,Du) + h(x) on Ω, where b depends only on a and has analogous qualitative properties.     

A remark on global existence of solutions of shadow systems

Let Ω be an open, bounded domain in \mathbbRⁿ  (n ? \mathbbN){\mathbb{R}^n\;(n \in \mathbb{N})} with smooth boundary ∂Ω. Let p, q, r, d ₁, τ be positive real numbers and s be a non-negative number which satisfies 0 < \fracp-1r < \fracqs+1{0 < \frac{p-1}{r} < \frac{q}{s+1}}. We consider the shadow system of the well-known Gierer–Meinhardt system:

Profile of Blow-up Solution to Hyperbolic System with Nonlocal Term

This paper is concerned with a nonlocal hyperbolic system as follows utt = △u ＋ （∫Ωvdx ）^p for x∈R^N,t〉0 ,utt = △u ＋ （∫Ωvdx ）^q for x∈R^N,t〉0 ,u（x,0）=u0（x）,ut（x,0）=u01（x） for x∈R^N,u（x,0）=u0（x）,ut（x,0）=u01（x） for x∈R^N, where 1≤ N ≤3, p ≥1, q ≥ 1 and pq 〉 1. Here the initial values are compactly supported and Ω belong to R^N is a bounded open region. The blow-up curve, blow-up rate and profile of the solution are discussed.     

H convergence for quasi-linear elliptic equations with quadratic growth

We consider in this paper the limit behavior of the solutionsu ^? of the problem $$\begin{gathered} - div(a^\varepsilon Du^\varepsilon ) + \gamma u^\varepsilon = H^\varepsilon (x, u^\varepsilon , Du^\varepsilon ), \hfill \\ u^\varepsilon \in H_0^1 (\Omega ) \cap L^\infty (\Omega ), \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ whereH ^? has quadratic growth inDu ^? anda ^? (x) is a family of matrices satisfying the general assumptions of abstract homogenization. We also consider the problem $$\begin{gathered} - div(a^\varepsilon Du^\varepsilon ) + G^\varepsilon (x, u^\varepsilon , Du^\varepsilon ) = f \in H^{ - 1} (\Omega ), \hfill \\ u^\varepsilon \in H_0^1 (\Omega ), G^\varepsilon (x, u^\varepsilon , Du^\varepsilon ) \in L^1 (\Omega ), u^\varepsilon G^\varepsilon (x, u^\varepsilon , Du^\varepsilon ) \in L^1 (\Omega ) \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ whereG ^? has quadratic growth inDu ^? and satisfiesG ^? (x, s, ξ)s ≥ 0. Note that in this last modelu ^? is in general unbounded, which gives extra difficulties for the homogenization process. In both cases we pass to the limit and obtain an homogenized equation having the same structure.     

The Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for the heat equation in Besov spaces

The solvability in anisotropic spaces , σ ∈ ℝ₊, p, q ∈ (1, ∞), of the heat equation u_t − Δu = f in Ω^T ≡ (0, T) × Ω is studied under the boundary and initial conditions u = g on S^T, u|_t=0 = u₀ in Ω, where S is the boundary of a bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝⁿ. The existence of a unique solution of the above problem is proved under the assumptions that and under some additional conditions on the data. The existence is proved by the technique of regularizers. For this purpose the local-in-space solvability near the boundary and near an interior point of Ω is needed. To show the local-in-space existence, the definition of Besov spaces by the dyadic decomposition of a partition of unity is used. This enables us to get an appropriate estimate in a new and promising way without applying either the potential technique or the resolvent estimates or the interpolation. Bibliography: 26 titles.

An asymptotic analysis method for the linearly shell theory

In this paper, we consider a linearly elastic shell, i.e. a three-dimensional linearly elastic body with a small thickness denoted by 2ε, which is clamped along its part of the lateral boundary and subjected to the regular loads. In the linear case, one can use the two-dimensional models of Ciarlet or Koiter to calculate the displacement for the shell. Some error estimates between the approximate solution of these models and the three-dimensional displacement vector field of a flexural or membrane shell have been obtained. Here we give a new model for a linear and nonlinear shell, prove that there exists a unique solution U of the two-dimensional variational problem and construct a three-dimensional approximate solutions UKT(x,ξ) in terms of U: We also provide the error estimates between our model and the three-dimensional displacement vector field :‖u-UKT‖1,Ω≤C∈r,r=3/2, an elliptic membrane, r = 1/2, a general membrane, where C is a constant dependent only upon the data‖u‖3,Ω,‖UKT‖3,Ω,θ.

A note on equi-integrability in dimension reduction problems

In the framework of the asymptotic analysis of thin structures, we prove that, up to an extraction, it is possible to decompose a sequence of ‘scaled gradients’ (where is the gradient in the k-dimensional ‘thin variable’ x _β) bounded in (1 < p < + ∞) as a sum of a sequence whose p-th power is equi-integrable on Ω and a ‘rest’ that converges to zero in measure. In particular, for k = 1 we recover a well-known result for thin films by Bocea and Fonseca (ESAIM: COCV 7:443–470; 2002).      

Error bounds for the finite element approximation of a degenerate quasilinear parabolic variational inequality

In this paper, we establish some error bounds for the continuous piecewise linear finite element approximation of the following problem: Let Ω be an open set in ? ^d , withd=1 or 2. GivenT>0,p ∈ (1, ∞),f andu ₀; findu ∈K, whereK is a closed convex subset of the Sobolev spaceW ₀ ^1,p (Ω), such that for anyv∈K $$\begin{gathered} \int\limits_\Omega {u_1 (\upsilon - u) dx + } \int\limits_\Omega {\left| {\nabla u} \right|^{p - 2} } \nabla u \cdot \nabla (\upsilon - u) dx \geqslant \int\limits_\Omega {f(\upsilon - u) dx for} a.e. t \in (0,T], \hfill \\ u = 0 on \partial \Omega \times (0,T] and u(0,x) = u_0 (x) for x \in \Omega . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ We prove error bounds in energy type norms for the fully discrete approximation using the backward Euler time discretisation. In some notable cases, these error bounds converge at the optimal rate with respect to the space discretisation, provided the solutionu is sufficiently regular.     

Blow-up criterion for 2-D Boussinesq equations in bounded domain

We extend the results for 2-D Boussinesq equations from ℝ² to a bounded domain Ω. First, as for the existence of weak solutions, we transform Boussinesq equations to a nonlinear evolution equation U _t + A(t, U) = 0. In stead of using the methods of fundamental solutions in the case of entire ℝ², we study the qualities of F(u, υ) = (u · ▽)υ to get some useful estimates for A(t, U), which helps us to conclude the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of solutions. Second, as for blow-up criterions, we use energy methods, Sobolev inequalities and Gronwall inequality to control and by and . Furthermore, can control by using vorticity transportation equations. At last, can control . Thus, we can find a blow-up criterion in the form of .      

Uniform meyer solution to the three dimensional cauchy problem for laplace equation

We consider the three dimensional Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation uxx(x,y,z)+ uyy(x,y,z)+ uzz(x,y,z) = 0, x ∈ R,y ∈ R,0 z ≤ 1, u(x,y,0) = g(x,y), x ∈ R,y ∈ R, uz(x,y,0) = 0, x ∈ R,y ∈ R, where the data is given at z = 0 and a solution is sought in the region x,y ∈ R,0 z 1. The problem is ill-posed, the solution (if it exists) doesn't depend continuously on the initial data. Using Galerkin method and Meyer wavelets, we get the uniform stable wavelet approximate solution. Furthermore, we shall give a recipe for choosing the coarse level resolution.     

A priori bounds and existence of positive solutions of an elliptic system of Kirchhoff type in three or four space dimensions

Let \(\Omega \subseteq \mathbb {R}^n(n\ge 3)\) be a bounded and smooth domain. Assuming that \(\alpha ,a,b>0\), \(p,q>0\), we consider the following elliptic problem of Kirchhoff type

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{llll} -(a+b\Vert \nabla u_1\Vert ^{2\alpha }_2)\Delta u_1= u_2^{p}+h_1(x, u_1, u_2, \nabla u_1, \nabla u_2) &{} \quad \text{ in }&{}\quad \Omega , \\ -\Delta u_2= u_1^{q}+h_2(x, u_1, u_2, \nabla u_1, \nabla u_2) &{}\quad \text{ in } &{}\quad \Omega , \\ u_1,u_2>0 &{} \quad \text{ in } &{}\quad \Omega , \\ u_1=u_2=0 &{} \quad \text{ on }&{}\quad \partial \Omega . \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$

(0.1)

Under some assumptions of \(h_i(x, u_1, u_2, \nabla u_1, \nabla u_2)(i=1, 2)\), we get a priori bounds of the positive solutions to the problem (0.1) when \(n=3,4\) and p, q satisfy \(p,q>1\), \(pq>2\alpha +1\) and \(\frac{1}{p+1}+\frac{1}{q+1}>\frac{n-2}{n}\). By these estimates and the method of continuity, we get the existence for the positive solutions to the problem (0.1). Moreover, the effect of the term \(b\Vert \nabla u_1\Vert ^{2\alpha }_2\) on the solution set of the problem (0.1) also can be given in section 2.
