In this paper we prove the existence of bounded solutions for equations whose prototype is:

Long-term analysis of degenerate parabolic equations in ℝ N

Longtime behavior of degenerate equations with the nonlinearity of polynomial growth of arbitrary order on the whole space R^N is considered. By using -trajectories methods, we proved that weak solutions generated by degenerate equations possess an (L_U² (R^N), L_loc² (R^N))-global attractor. Moreover, the upper bounds of the Kolmogorov ε-entropy for such global attractor are also obtained.     

Hölder estimate for the solution of degenerate parabolic equations

Consider the degenerate parabolic equations of the type $$u_t = div A(x,t,u,Du) + b(x,t,u,Du)$$ which is of the same nature as $$u_t = div|Du|^p Du + |Du|^{p + 2} (p > 2).$$ This paper is to study the \(C^{1 + \alpha } ,\frac{{1 + \alpha }}{2}\) Hölder continuity of a class of degenerate parabolic equations and the existence and uniqueness of the initial boundary value problem.     

Local Hölder continuity of nonnegative weak solutions of degenerate parabolic equations

In this paper, we consider nonnegative weak solutions for a class of degenerate parabolic equations. Using Moser’s method, we get the local boundedness of solutions to equations of this class. Then we prove that the solutions are locally Hölder continuous.     

Hölder estimates for quasilinear doubly degenerate parabolic equations

For positive bounded generalized solutions of degenerate parabolic equations of the form t 0, m 2, one establishes local Hölder estimates, independent of the lower bounds of the indicated solutions.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Asymptotic stability of some quasilinear parabolic equations in divergence form. L∞ results

In this paper we study the behavior of solutions of some quasilinear parabolic equations of the form

$\text{(}\text{?u}\text{?t}\text{) ?}\text{∑}\text{i=1}\text{n}\text{(}\text{d}\text{dx}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{) a}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{(x, t, u, u}{}_{\mathrm{x}}\text{) + a(x, t, u, u}{}_{\mathrm{x}}\text{)u + f(x, t) = O,}$

as t → ∞. In particular, the solutions of these equations will decay to zero as t → ∞ in the L^∞ norm.     

On Lipschitz solutions for some forward–backward parabolic equations

We investigate the existence and properties of Lipschitz solutions for some forward–backward parabolic equations in all dimensions. Our main approach to existence is motivated by reformulating such equations into partial differential inclusions and relies on a Baire's category method. In this way, the existence of infinitely many Lipschitz solutions to certain initial-boundary value problem of those equations is guaranteed under a pivotal density condition. Under this framework, we study two important cases of forward–backward anisotropic diffusion in which the density condition can be realized and therefore the existence results follow together with micro-oscillatory behavior of solutions. The first case is a generalization of the Perona–Malik model in image processing and the other that of Höllig's model related to the Clausius–Duhem inequality in the second law of thermodynamics.     

Finite-time blow-up for quasilinear degenerate Keller–Segel systems of parabolic–parabolic type

This paper deals with the quasilinear degenerate Keller–Segel systems of parabolic–parabolic type in a ball of ${\mathbb{R}}^N$ ($N\ge 2$). In the case of non-degenerate diffusion, Cie?lak–Stinner [3], [4] proved that if $q>m+\frac{2}{N}$, where m denotes the intensity of diffusion and q denotes the nonlinearity, then there exist initial data such that the corresponding solution blows up in finite time. As to the case of degenerate diffusion, it is known that a solution blows up if $q>m+\frac{2}{N}$ (see Ishida–Yokota [13]); however, whether the blow-up time is finite or infinite has been unknown. This paper gives an answer to the unsolved problem. Indeed, the finite-time blow-up of energy solutions is established when $q>m+\frac{2}{N}$.     

Existence of eigenfunctions of the Tricomi spectral problem for some classes of multidimensional mixed hyperbolic–parabolic equations

We show that there exists a countable set of eigenfunctions of the Tricomi spectral problem for multidimensional mixed hyperbolic–parabolic equations.     

Global existence of weak solutions to quasilinear degenerate Keller–Segel systems of parabolic–parabolic type

This paper deals with the quasilinear degenerate Keller–Segel system (KS) of parabolic–parabolic type. The global existence of weak solutions to (KS) is established when $q<m+\frac{2}{N}$ (m denotes the intensity of diffusion and q denotes the nonlinearity) without restriction on the size of initial data; note that $q=m+\frac{2}{N}$ corresponds to generalized Fujita?s exponent. The result improves both Sugiyama (2007) [14, Theorem 1] and Sugiyama and Kunii (2006) [15, Theorem 1] in which it is assumed that $q?m$.     

Primal-dual interior point approach for computingl 1-solutions andl ∞-solutions of overdetermined linear systems

This paper concerns solving an overdetermined linear systemA ^T x=b in the leastl ₁-norm orl -norm sense, whereA ^m×n ,m<n. We show that the primal-dual interior point approach for linear programming can be applied, in an effective manner, to linear programming versions of thel ₁ andl -problems. The resulting algorithms are simple to implement and can attain quadratic or superlinear convergence rate. At each iteration, the algorithms must solve a linear system with anm×m positive-definite coefficient matrix of the formADA ^T , whereD is a positive diagonal matrix. The preliminary numerical results indicate that the proposed algorithms offer considerable promise.This research was supported in part by Grants NSF DMS-91-02761 and DOE DE-FG05-91-ER25100.
