Behaviors of solutions to a class of nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations not in divergence form

In this note we study the nonexistence and long time behavior of solutions for a class of nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations of the non-divergence type.     

Some degenerate and quasilinear parabolic systems not in divergence form

This paper deals with positive solutions of degenerate and quasilinear parabolic systems not in divergence form: u_t=u^p(Δu+av), v_t=v^q(Δv+bu), with null Dirichlet boundary conditions and positive initial conditions, where p, q, a and b are all positive constants. The local existence and uniqueness of classical solution are proved. Moreover, it will be proved that all solutions exist globally if and only if ab?λ₁², where λ₁ is the first eigenvalue of −Δ in Ω with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition.     

Nonexistence and longtime behaviors of solutions to a class of nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations not in divergence form

In this paper, we study the nonexistence and longtime behavior of weak solution for the degenerate parabolic equation ? _t u ⁿ = u ^m div(|?u ^m | ^p?2?u ^m ) + γ|?u ^m | ^p + β u ⁿ with zero boundary condition. Blow-up time is derived when the blow-up does occur.     

Blow-up of solutions to a degenerate parabolic equation not in divergence form

We study nonglobal positive solutions to the Dirichlet problem for u_t=u^p(Δu+u) in bounded domains, where 0<p<2. It is proved that the set of points at which u blows up has positive measure and the blow-up rate is exactly . If either the space dimension is one or p<1, the ω-limit set of consists of continuous functions solving . In one space dimension it is shown that actually as t→T, where w coincides with an element of a one-parameter family of functions inside each component of its positivity set; furthermore, we study the size of the components of {w>0} with the result that this size is uniquely determined by Ω in the case p<1, while for p>1, the positivity set can have the maximum possible size for certain initial data, but it may also be arbitrarily close to the minimal length π.     

A degenerate and strongly coupled quasilinear parabolic system not in divergence form

This paper deals with positive solutions of degenerate and strongly coupled quasi-linear parabolic system not in divergence form: u_t=v^p(u+au), v_t=u^q (v+bv) with null Dirichlet boundary condition and positive initial condition, where p, q, a and b are all positive constants, and p, q 1. The local existence of positive classical solution is proved. Moreover, it will be proved that: (i) When min {a, b} ₁ then there exists global positive classical solution, and all positive classical solutions can not blow up in finite time in the meaning of maximum norm (we can not prove the uniqueness result in general); (ii) When min {a, b} > ₁, there is no global positive classical solution (we can not still prove the uniqueness result), if in addition the initial datum (u₀v₀) satisfies u₀ + au₀ 0, v₀+bv₀ 0 in , then the positive classical solution is unique and blows up in finite time, where ₁ is the first eigenvalue of – in with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition.

Large time behavior of solutions to a degenerate parabolic equation not in divergence form

In this paper, we investigate positive solutions of the degenerate parabolic equation not in divergence form: ut=upΔu+auq−bur, subject to the null Dirichlet boundary condition. We at first discuss the existence and nonexistence of global solutions to the problem, and then study the large time behavior for the global solutions. When the positive source dominates the model, we prove that the global solutions uniformly tend to the positive steady state of the problem as t→∞. In particular, we establish the uniform asymptotic profiles for the decay solutions when the problem is governed by the nonlinear diffusion or absorption.     

Controllability results for a class of one-dimensional degenerate parabolic problems in nondivergence form

We give null controllability results for some degenerate parabolic equations in non divergence form on a bounded interval. In particular, the coefficient of the second order term degenerates at the extreme points of the domain. For this reason, we obtain an observability inequality for the adjoint problem. Then we prove Carleman estimates for such a problem. Finally, in a standard way, we deduce null controllability also for semilinear equations.      

Homogenization of degenerate nonlinear parabolic equation in divergence form

In this paper the homogenization of degenerate nonlinear parabolic equations

where a(t,y,λ) is periodic in (t,y), is studied via a weighted compensated compactness result.     

Some noncoercive parabolic equations with lower order terms in divergence form

This paper deals with existence and regularity results for the problem $ \cases{u_t-\mathrm{div}(a(x,t,u )\nabla u)=-\mathrm{div}(u\,E) \qquad in \Omega\times (0,T),\cr u=0 \qquad on \partial \Omega\times (0,T), \cr u (0)= u_0 \qquad in \Omega ,\cr} $ under various assumptions on E and $ u_0 $. The main difculty in studying this problem is due to the presence of the term div(uE), which makes the differential operator non coercive on the "energy space" $ L^2 (0, T; H_0^1 (\Omega)) $.AMS Subject Classification: 35K10, 35K15, 35K65.     

Attractors for a class of semi-linear degenerate parabolic equations

We consider degenerate parabolic equations of the form $$\left. \begin{array}{ll}\,\,\, \partial_t u = \Delta_\lambda u + f(u) \\u|_{\partial\Omega} = 0, u|_{t=0} = u_0\end{array}\right.$$ in a bounded domain ${\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N}$ , where Δ_λ is a subelliptic operator of the type $$\quad \Delta_\lambda:= \sum_{i=1}^{N} \partial_{x_i}(\lambda_{i}^{2} \partial_{x_i}),\qquad \lambda = (\lambda_1,\ldots, \lambda_N).$$ We prove global existence of solutions and characterize their longtime behavior. In particular, we show the existence and finite fractal dimension of the global attractor of the generated semigroup and the convergence of solutions to an equilibrium solution when time tends to infinity.     

Invariant measure for a class of parabolic degenerate equations

In this paper we consider a stochastic flow in Rⁿ which leaves a closed convex set K invariant. By using a recent characterization of the invariance, involving the distance function, we study the corresponding transition semigroup P_t and its infinitesimal generator N. Due to the invariance property, N is a degenerate elliptic operator. We study existence of an invariant measure ν of P_t and the realization of N in L² (H, ν).
