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.

     

Existence of nonlinear boundary layer to the Boltzmann equation with reverse reflection boundary condition

Many physical models have boundaries. When the Boltzmann equation is used to study a physical problem with boundary, there usually exists a layer of width of the order of the Knudsen number along the boundary. Hence, the research on the boundary layer problem is important both in mathematics and physics. Based on the previous work, in this paper, we consider the existence of boundary layer solution to the Boltzmann equation for hard sphere model with positive Mach number. The boundary condition is imposed on incoming particles of reverse reflection type, and the solution is assumed to approach to a global Maxwellian in the far field. Similar to the problem with Dirichlet boundary condition studied in [S. Ukai, T. Yang, S.H. Yu, Nonlinear boundary layers of the Boltzmann equation: I. Existence, Comm. Math. Phys. 3 (2003) 373-393], the existence of a solution is shown to depend on the Mach number of the far field Maxwellian. Moreover, there is an implicit solvability condition on the boundary data. According to the solvability condition, the co-dimension of the boundary data related to the number of the positive characteristic speeds is obtained.     

The nonlinear boundary layer to the Boltzmann equation with mixed boundary conditions for hard potentials

In this paper, the existence of boundary layer solutions to the Boltzmann equation for hard potential with mixed boundary condition, i.e., a linear combination of Dirichlet boundary condition and diffuse reflection boundary condition at the wall, is considered. The boundary condition is imposed on the incoming particles, and the solution is supposed to approach to a global Maxwellian in the far field. As for the problem with Dirichlet boundary condition (Chen et al., 2004 [5]), the existence of a solution highly depends on the Mach number of the far field Maxwellian. Furthermore, an implicit solvability condition on the boundary data which shows the codimension of the boundary data is related to the number of the positive characteristic speeds is also given.     

Compressible Navier–Stokes system in 1‐D

The compressible barotropic Navier–Stokes system in monodimensional case with a Neumann boundary condition given on a free boundary is considered. The global existence with uniformly boundedness for large initial data and a positive force is proved. The result concerning an asymptotic behavior shows that the solutions tends to the stationary solution. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A new approach to solving homogeneous Riemann boundary-value problem on a ray with infinite index

We consider a Riemann boundary-value problem with infinite Gakhov’s index. The boundary data are defined on positive ray of the real axis. We solve the problem by means of removal of singularity of boundary data at the infinity. This approach is analogous to Gakhov’s method of elimination of singularities in the problemswith finite indices, but we use another eliminating factors.

Sup norms of Cauchy data of eigenfunctions on manifolds with concave boundary

We prove that the Cauchy data of Dirichlet or Neumann Δ- eigenfunctions of Riemannian manifolds with concave (diffractive) boundary can only achieve maximal sup norm bounds if there exists a self-focal point on the boundary, i.e., a point at which a positive measure of geodesics leaving the point return to the point. In the case of real analytic Riemannian manifolds with real analytic boundary, maximal sup norm bounds on boundary traces of eigenfunctions can only be achieved if there exists a point on the boundary at which all geodesics loop back. As an application, the Dirichlet or Neumann eigenfunctions of Riemannian manifolds with concave boundary and non-positive curvature never have eigenfunctions whose boundary traces achieve maximal sup norm bounds. The key new ingredient is the Melrose–Taylor diffractive parametrix and Melrose’s analysis of the Weyl law.

Existence and Asymptotic Behavior of the Wave Equation with Dynamic Boundary Conditions

The goal of this work is to study a model of the strongly damped wave equation with dynamic boundary conditions and nonlinear boundary/interior sources and nonlinear boundary/interior damping. First, applying the nonlinear semigroup theory, we show the existence and uniqueness of local in time solutions. In addition, we show that in the strongly damped case solutions gain additional regularity for positive times t>0. Second, we show that under some restrictions on the initial data and if the interior source dominates the interior damping term and if the boundary source dominates the boundary damping, then the solution grows as an exponential function. Moreover, in the absence of the strong damping term, we prove that the solution ceases to exists and blows up in finite time.

GLOBAL SOLUTIONS TO THE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS FOR COMPRESSIBLE HEAT-CONDUCTING FLOW WITH SYMMETRY AND FREE BOUNDARY

ABSTRACT

Global solutions of the multidimensional Navier-Stokes equations for compressible heat-conducting flow are constructed, with spherically symmetric initial data of large oscillation between a static solid core and a free boundary connected to a surrounding vacuum state. The free boundary connects the compressible heat-conducting fluids to the vacuum state with free normal stress and zero normal heat flux. The fluids are initially assumed to fill with a finite volume and zero density at the free boundary, and with bounded positive density and temperature between the solid core and the initial position of the free boundary. One of the main features of this problem is the singularity of solutions near the free boundary. Our approach is to combine an effective difference scheme to construct approximate solutions with the energy methods and the pointwise estimate techniques to deal with the singularity of solutions near the free boundary and to obtain the bounded estimates of the solutions and the free boundary as time evolves. The convergence of the difference scheme is established. It is also proved that no vacuum develops between the solid core and the free boundary, and the free boundary expands with finite speed.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript> positivity preserving scattered data interpolation using rational Bernstein-Bézier triangular patch

A local C ¹ positivity preserving scheme is developed using Bernstein-Bézier rational cubic function. The domain is triangulated by Delaunay triangulation method. Simple sufficient conditions are derived on the inner and boundary Bézier ordinates to preserve the shape of positive data. These inner and boundary Bézier ordinates involve weights in their definition. In any triangular patch if the Bézier ordinates do not satisfy the derived conditions of positivity, then these are modified by the weights (free parameters) involved in the construction of Bernstein-Bézier rational cubic function to preserve the shape of positive scattered data.     

Coercivity for elliptic operators and positivity of solutions on Lipschitz domains

We show that usual second order operators in divergence form satisfy coercivity on Lipschitz domains if they are either complemented with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions on a set of non-zero boundary measure or if a suitable Robin boundary condition is posed. Moreover, we prove the positivity of solutions in a general, abstract setting, provided that the right hand side is a positive functional. Finally, positive elements from W ^−1,2 are identified as positive measures.     

An Intrinsic Criterion for the Bijectivity of Hilbert Operators Related to Friedrich' Systems

Friedrich' theory of symmetric positive systems of first-order PDE's is revisited so as to avoid invoking traces at the boundary. Two intrinsic geometric conditions are introduced to characterize admissible boundary conditions. It is shown that the space in which admissible boundary conditions can be enforced is maximal in a positive cone associated with the differential operator. The equivalence with a formalism based on boundary operators is investigated and practical means to construct these boundary operators are presented. Finally, the link with Friedrich' formalism and applications to various PDE's are discussed.     

Global existence,asymptotic stability and blow-up of solutions for the generalized Boussinesq equation with nonlinear boundary condition

In this paper, we consider initial boundary value problem of the generalized Boussinesq equation with nonlinear interior source and boundary absorptive terms. We establish firstly the local existence of solutions by standard Galerkin method. Then we prove both the global existence of the solution and a general decay of the energy functions under some restrictions on the initial data. We also prove a blow-up result for solutions with positive and negative initial energy respectively.

Loss of boundary conditions for fully nonlinear parabolic equations with superquadratic gradient terms

We study whether the solutions of a fully nonlinear, uniformly parabolic equation with superquadratic growth in the gradient satisfy initial and homogeneous boundary conditions in the classical sense, a problem we refer to as the classical Dirichlet problem. Our main results are: the nonexistence of global-in-time solutions of this problem, depending on a specific largeness condition on the initial data, and the existence of local-in-time solutions for initial data $C^1$ up to the boundary. Global existence is know when boundary conditions are understood in the viscosity sense, what is known as the generalized Dirichlet problem. Therefore, our result implies loss of boundary conditions in finite time. Specifically, a solution satisfying homogeneous boundary conditions in the viscosity sense eventually becomes strictly positive at some point of the boundary.
