Carleman estimates for stochastic parabolic equations with Neumann boundary conditions and applications

By a dual method, two Carleman estimates for forward and backward stochastic parabolic equations with Neumann boundary conditions are established. Then they are used to study a null controllability problem and a state observation problem for some stochastic forward parabolic equations with Neumann boundary conditions.     

Blow-up and global solutions for quasilinear parabolic equations with Neumann boundary conditions

Using the upper and lower solution techniques and Hopf's maximum principle, the sufficient conditions for the existence of blow-up positive solution and global positive solution are obtained for a class of quasilinear parabolic equations subject to Neumann boundary conditions. An upper bound for the ‘blow-up time’, an upper estimate of the ‘blow-up rate’, and an upper estimate of the global solution are also specified.     

On improved estimates for parabolic equations with double degeneracy

We obtain improved pointwise estimates for solutions to nonlinear parabolic equations with double degeneracy. These estimates differ from the classical estimates known for the linear case in that the supremum of the modulus of a solution is estimated by the sum of two powers of the integral norm of the solution.     

Blow up for nonlinear parabolic equations with time degeneracy under dynamical boundary conditions

We study the blow up behaviour of nonlinear parabolic equations including a time degeneracy, under dynamical boundary conditions. For some exponential and polynomial degeneracies, we develop some energy methods and some spectral comparison techniques and derive upper bounds for the blow up times.     

Periodic solutions for a class of degenerate parabolic equations with Neumann boundary conditions

In this paper, we investigate a class of degenerate parabolic periodic equations with nonlocal terms under Neumann boundary conditions. By using the theory of the Leray–Schauder degree, we obtain the existence of non-trivial nonnegative periodic solutions.     

A global Carleman inequality and exact controllability of parabolic equations with mixed boundary conditions

This paper establishes a global Carleman inequality of parabolic equations with mixed boundary conditions and an estimate of the solution. Further, we prove exact controllability of the equation by controls acting on an arbitrarily given subdomain or subboundary.     

Large time behavior of solutions to parabolic equations with Neumann boundary conditions

In this paper we are interested in the large time behavior as t→+∞ of the viscosity solutions of parabolic equations with nonlinear Neumann type boundary conditions in connection with ergodic boundary problems which have been recently studied by Barles and the author in [G. Barles, F. Da Lio, On the boundary ergodic problem for fully nonlinear equations in bounded domains with general nonlinear Neumann boundary conditions, Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré Anal. Non Linèaire 22 (5) (2005) 521-541].     

Nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations with Neumann boundary condition

We study Neumann problem for a class of nonlinear degenerate parabolic PDE. A typical nonlinearity we have in mind is, for instance, β(u)=−1/u(u>0). We establish a necessary and sufficient condition on given data for existence of solution.     

A free boundary problem for quasilinear degenerate parabolic equations with general degeneracy

In this paper, we study the free boundary problem for degenerate parabolic equations (1.1)–(1.4). The existence of generalized solutions inBV ₁, 1/2 is obtained by the means of parabolic regularization under certain restrictions. The uniqueness and regularity of generalized solutions are also discussed. In addition, a C¹⁺ smoothness for the free boundary is obtained in the parabolic case.     

Attractors for parabolic equations with dynamic boundary conditions

In this paper we prove existence of global solutions and (L²(Ω)×L²(Γ),(H¹(Ω)∩L^p(Ω))×L^p(Γ))$(L^2\left(\Omega \right)\times L^2\left(\Gamma \right),(H^1\left(\Omega \right)\cap L^p\left(\Omega \right))\times L^p\left(\Gamma \right))$-global attractors for semilinear parabolic equations with dynamic boundary conditions in bounded domains with a smooth boundary, where there is no other restriction on p(≥2)$p(\ge 2)$.

Carleman estimates for semi-discrete parabolic operators and application to the controllability of semi-linear semi-discrete parabolic equations

In arbitrary dimension, in the discrete setting of finite-differences we prove a Carleman estimate for a semi-discrete parabolic operator, in which the large parameter is connected to the mesh size. This estimate is applied for the derivation of a (relaxed) observability estimate, that yield some controlability results for semi-linear semi-discrete parabolic equations. Sub-linear and super-linear cases are considered.
