Locally one-dimensional scheme for a loaded heat equation with Robin boundary conditions

The third boundary value problem for a loaded heat equation in a p-dimensional parallelepiped is considered. An a priori estimate for the solution to a locally one-dimensional scheme is derived, and the convergence of the scheme is proved.     

The heat equation with nonlinear generalized Robin boundary conditions

Let Ω⊂RN be a bounded domain and let μ be an admissible measure on ∂Ω. We show in the first part that if Ω has the H¹-extension property, then a realization of the Laplace operator with generalized nonlinear Robin boundary conditions, formally given by on ∂Ω, generates a strongly continuous nonlinear submarkovian semigroup SB=(SB(t))_t?0 on L²(Ω). We also obtain that this semigroup is ultracontractive in the sense that for every u,v∈Lp(Ω), p?2 and every t>0, one has

     

On the controllability of the heat equation with nonlinear boundary Fourier conditions

In this paper we analyze the approximate and null controllability of the classical heat equation with nonlinear boundary conditions of the form and distributed controls, with support in a small set. We show that, when the function f is globally Lipschitz-continuous, the system is approximately controllable. We also show that the system is locally null controllable and null controllable for large time when f is regular enough and f(0)=0. For the proofs of these assertions, we use controllability results for similar linear problems and appropriate fixed point arguments. In the case of the local and large time null controllability results, the arguments are rather technical, since they need (among other things) Hölder estimates for the control and the state.     

Problems with nonlinear boundary conditions for a hyperbolic equation

Two problems with nonlinear boundary conditions are studied. Existence and uniqueness theorems are proved for generalized solutions to each problem.     

Numerical solution of the heat equation with nonlinear boundary conditions in unbounded domains

The numerical solution of the heat equation in unbounded domains (for a 1D problem‐semi‐infinite line and for a 2D one semi‐infinite strip) is considered. The artificial boundaries are introduced and the exact artificial boundary conditions are derived. The original problems are transformed into problems on finite domains. The space semi‐discretization by finite element method and the full approximation by the implicit‐explicit Euler's method are presented. The solvability of the full discretization schemes is analyzed. Computational examples demonstrate the accuracy and the efficiency of the algorithms. Also, the behavior of blowing up solutions is examined numerically. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 23: 379–399, 2007     

Convergence of a difference scheme for the heat equation in a long strip by artificial boundary conditions

The numerical solution of the heat equation on a strip in two dimensions is considered. An artificial boundary is introduced to make the computational domain finite. On the artificial boundary, an exact boundary condition is proposed to reduce the original problem to an initial‐boundary value problem in a finite computational domain. A difference scheme is constructed by the method of reduction of order to solve the problem in the finite computational domain. It is proved that the difference scheme is uniquely solvable, unconditionally stable and convergent with the convergence order 2 in space and order 3/2 in time in an energy norm. A numerical example demonstrates the theoretical results.© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 2007     

A difference scheme for the biharmonic equation with nonlinear boundary condition

In a rectangular domain we construct a grid scheme by applying the operators of exact difference schemes. We study an estimate of the rate of convergence of the grid scheme in the grid norm L₂(). It is shown that in the case when the solution of the differential problem belongs to the space W ₂ ^k (), k (3/2,2] the order of precision of the proposed scheme is O(h^k–3/2), and in the linear case it is O(h^k).Translated fromVychislitel'naya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Issue 71, 1990, pp. 3–14.     

Global solutions of the heat equation with a nonlinear boundary condition

We consider the heat equation with a nonlinear boundary condition, $$(P) \left\{\begin{array}{ll} \partial_t u = \Delta u, & x \in \Omega, \quad t > 0, \\ \partial_\nu u=u^p, & x \in \partial \Omega,\quad t > 0,\\ u (x,0) = \phi (x),& x\in\Omega, \end{array}\right.$$ where ${\Omega = \{x = (x^{\prime},x_N) \in {\bf R}^{N} : x_N > 0\}, N \ge 2, \partial_t = \partial{/}\partial t , \partial_\nu = -\partial{/}\partial x_{N}}$ , p > 1 + 1/N, and (N ? 2)p < N. In this paper we give a complete classification of the large time behaviors of the nonnegative global solutions of (P).     

Eigenproblem for p-Laplacian and nonlinear elliptic equation with nonlinear boundary conditions

In this article, we study the solvability of nonlinear problem for p-Laplacian with nonlinear boundary conditions. We give some characterization of the first eigenvalue of an intermediary eigenvalue problem as simplicity, isolation and its strict monotonicity. Afterward, we character also the second eigenvalue and its strictly partial monotony. On the other hand, in some sense, we establish the non-resonance below the first and furthermore between the first and second eigenvalues of nonlinear Steklov–Robin.     

Uniform boundary stabilization of a wave equation with nonlinear acoustic boundary conditions and nonlinear boundary damping

We consider a wave equation with nonlinear acoustic boundary conditions. This is a nonlinearly coupled system of hyperbolic equations modeling an acoustic/structure interaction, with an additional boundary damping term to induce both existence of solutions as well as stability. Using the methods of Lasiecka and Tataru for a wave equation with nonlinear boundary damping, we demonstrate well-posedness and uniform decay rates for solutions in the finite energy space, with the results depending on the relationship between (i) the mass of the structure, (ii) the nonlinear coupling term, and (iii) the size of the nonlinear damping. We also show that solutions (in the linear case) depend continuously on the mass of the structure as it tends to zero, which provides rigorous justification for studying the case where the mass is equal to zero.     

Global bifurcation for a special Hill equation with nonlinear boundary conditions

Summary We introduce a new bifurcation model which consists of a linear second order ordinary differential equation together with nonlocal nonlinear boundary conditions. These are periodic boundary conditions in the case of the trivial solutiony=0 and semi-periodic boundary conditions for y tending to infinity. We use an elementary method to prove the existence of global solution branches connecting the periodic eigenvalues and the trivial solutiony=0 with the semi-periodic eigenvalues and the solutiony=.

Zusammenfassung Wir stellen ein neues Verzweigungsmodell, bestehend aus einer linearen gewöhnlichen Differentialgleichung zweiter Ordnung und nichtlokalen nichtlinearen Randbedingungen, vor. Periodische Randbedingungen ergeben sich für den Fall der trivialen Lösungy=0 und semi-periodische Randbedingungen falls y gegen unendlich strebt. Mit Hilfe elementarer Methoden weisen wir die Existenz globaler Lösungszweige nach, die die periodischen Eigenwerte und die triviale Lösungy=0 mit den semi-periodischen Eigenwerten und der Lösungy= verbinden.

Numerical investigation of quenching for a nonlinear diffusion equation with a singular Neumann boundary condition

For a nonlinear diffusion equation with a singular Neumann boundary condition, we devise a difference scheme which represents faithfully the properties of the original continuous boundary value problem. We use non‐uniform mesh in order to adequately represent the spatial behavior of the quenching solution near the boundary. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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.
