Existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions to a singular parabolic equation

In this paper, we study the initial-boundary value problem for a class of singular parabolic equations. Under some conditions, we obtain the existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions to the problem by parabolic regularization method and the sub-super solutions method. As a byproduct, we prove the existence of solutions to some problems with gradient terms, which blow up on the boundary.

The existence of global attractor for a fourth-order parabolic equation

This article is concerned with a fourth-order parabolic equation. Based on the regularity estimates for the semigroups and the classical existence theorem of global attractors, we prove that the fourth-order parabolic equation possesses a global attractor in H ^k (0?≤?k?H ^k (Ω) in the H ^k -norm.     

Existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions for quasilinear parabolic systems

This paper is concerned with the existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior of solutions for the quasilinear parabolic systems with mixed quasimonotone reaction functions, the elliptic operators in which are allowed to be degenerate. By the method of the coupled upper and lower solutions, and its monotone iterations, it shows that a pair of coupled upper and lower solutions ensures that the unique positive solution exists and globally stable if the quasisolutions are equal. Moreover, we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Lotka–Volterra model with the density‐dependent diffusion. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Existence and asymptotic behavior for a singular parabolic equation

We prove global existence of nonnegative solutions to the singular parabolic equation 0 \} } ( -u^{-\beta} + \lambda f(u) )=0$"> in a smooth bounded domain with zero Dirichlet boundary condition and initial condition , . In some cases we are also able to treat . Then we show that if the stationary problem admits no solution which is positive a.e., then the solutions of the parabolic problem must vanish in finite time, a phenomenon called ``quenching'. We also establish a converse of this fact and study the solutions with a positive initial condition that leads to uniqueness on an appropriate class of functions.

A lumped mass approximation scheme of a low order Crouzeix-Raviart type noncon- forming triangular finite element is proposed to a kind of nonlinear parabolic integro-differential equations. The L2 error estimate is derived on anisotropic meshes without referring to the traditional nonclassical elliptic projection.

Maximum norm error bounds of ADI and compact ADI methods for solving parabolic equations

Alternating direction implicit (ADI) schemes are computationally efficient and widely utilized for numerical approximation of the multidimensional parabolic equations. By using the discrete energy method, it is shown that the ADI solution is unconditionally convergent with the convergence order of two in the maximum norm. Considering an asymptotic expansion of the difference solution, we obtain a fourth‐order, in both time and space, approximation by one Richardson extrapolation. Extension of our technique to the higher‐order compact ADI schemes also yields the maximum norm error estimate of the discrete solution. And by one extrapolation, we obtain a sixth order accurate approximation when the time step is proportional to the squares of the spatial size. An numerical example is presented to support our theoretical results. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 2010     

On the asymptotic behavior of solutions of quasilinear elliptic equations

The asymptotic behavior of solutions of second-order quasilinear elliptic and nonhyperbolic partial differential equations defined on unbounded domains inR ⁿ contained in\(\{ x_1 ,...,x_n :\left| {x_n } \right|< \lambda \sqrt {x_1^2 + ...x_{n - 1}^2 } \) for certain sublinear functions λ is investigated when such solutions satisfy Dirichlet boundary conditions and the Dirichlet boundary data has appropriate asymptotic behavior at infinity. We prove Phragmèn-Lindelöf theorems for large classes of nonhyperbolic operators, without «lower order terms”, including uniformly elliptic operators and operators with well-definedgenre, using special barrier functions which are constructed by considering an operator associated to our original operator. We also estimate the rate at which a solution converges to its limiting function at infinity in terms of properties of the top order coefficienta _nn of the operator and the rate at which the boundary values converge to their limiting function; these results are proven using appropriate barrier functions which depend on the behavior of the coefficients of the operator and the rate of convergence of boundary values.     

Existence-uniqueness and long time behavior for a class of nonlocal nonlinear parabolic evolution equations

We establish existence and uniqueness of solutions for a general class of nonlocal nonlinear evolution equations. An application of this theory to a class of nonlinear reaction-diffusion problems that arise in population dynamics is presented. Furthermore, conditions on the initial population density for this class of problems that result in finite time extinction or persistence of the population is discussed. Numerical evidence corroborating our theoretical results is given.

     

Long-time behavior for a nonlinear fourth-order parabolic equation

We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the initial- boundary value problem, with periodic boundary conditions, for a fourth-order nonlinear degenerate diffusion equation with a logarithmic nonlinearity. For strictly positive and suitably small initial data we show that a positive solution exponentially approaches its mean as time tends to infinity. These results are derived by analyzing the equation verified by the logarithm of the solution.

The backward euler anisotropic a posteriori error analysis for parabolic integro‐differential equations

We derive two optimal a posteriori error estimators for an implicit fully discrete approximation to the solutions of linear integro‐differential equations of the parabolic type. A continuous, piecewise linear finite element space is used for the space discretization and the time discretization is based on an implicit backward Euler method. The a posteriori error indicator corresponding to space discretization is derived using the anisotropic interpolation estimates in conjunction with a Zienkiewicz‐Zhu error estimator to approach the error gradient. The error due to time discretization is derived using continuous, piecewise linear polynomial in time. We use the linear approximation of the Volterra integral term to estimate the quadrature error in the second estimator. Numerical experiments are performed on the isotropic mesh to validate the derived results.© 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 32: 1309–1330, 2016
