On the definition of viscosity solutions for parabolic equations

In this short note we suggest a refinement for the definition of viscosity solutions for parabolic equations. The new version of the definition is equivalent to the usual one and it better adapts to the properties of parabolic equations. The basic idea is to determine the admissibility of a test function based on its behavior prior to the given moment of time and ignore what happens at times after that.

Boundedness and blowup for nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations

The author deals with the quasilinear parabolic equation _ut=[u^α+g(u)]Δu+bu^α+1+f(u,∇u)$u_t=[u^{\alpha }+g\left(u\right)]\Delta u+b{u}^{\alpha +1}+f(u,\nabla u)$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded domain Ω$\Omega$, where f$f$ and g$g$ are lower-order terms. He shows that, under suitable conditions on f$f$ and g$g$, whether the solution is bounded or blows up in a finite time depends only on the first eigenvalue of −Δ$-\Delta$ in Ω$\Omega$ with Dirichlet boundary condition. For some special cases, the result is sharp.     

Complement of gradient estimates and Liouville theorems for nonlinear parabolic equations on noncompact Riemannian manifolds

In this paper, along the idea of Souplet and Zhang, we deduce a local elliptic‐type gradient estimates for positive solutions of the nonlinear parabolic equation: on for α ≥ 1 and α ≤ 0. As applications, related Liouville‐type theorem is exported. Our results are complement of known results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic systems

In this paper, we discuss the viscosity solutions of the weakly coupled systems of fully nonlinear second-order degenerate parabolic equations and their Cauchy-Dirichlet problem. We prove the existence, uniqueness and continuity of viscosity solution by combining Perron's method with the technique of coupled solutions. The results here generalize those in Proc. London Math. Soc. 63 (1991) 212-240 and Comm. Partial Differential Equations 16 (1991) 1095-1128.     

Global existence and blowup solutions for quasilinear parabolic equations

The authors discuss the quasilinear parabolic equation ut=∇⋅(g(u)∇u)+h(u,∇u)+f(u) with u_|∂Ω=0, u(x,0)=?(x). If f, g and h are polynomials with proper degrees and proper coefficients, they show that the blowup property only depends on the first eigenvalue of −Δ in Ω with Dirichlet boundary condition. For a special case, they obtain a sharp result.

A posteriori error estimates of mixed DG finite element methods for linear parabolic equations

In this article, we analyse a posteriori error estimates of mixed finite element discretizations for linear parabolic equations. The space discretization is done using the order λ?≥?1 Raviart–Thomas mixed finite elements, whereas the time discretization is based on discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods (r?≥?1). Using the duality argument, we derive a posteriori l ^∞(L ²) error estimates for the scalar function, assuming that only the underlying mesh is static.     

On the maximum principle for linear parabolic equations

We prove extensions of our previous estimates for linear elliptic equations with inhomogeneous terms in L ^p spaces, p ≤ n to linear parabolic equations with inhomogeneous terms in L ^p , p ≤ n + 1. As with the elliptic case, our results depend on restrictions on parabolicity determined by certain subcones of the positive cone . They also extend the maximum principle of Krylov for the case p = n + 1, corresponding to the usual parabolicity.

Uniqueness for second-order parabolic equations with discontinuous coefficients

We prove uniqueness of the good solution to the Cauchy–Dirichlet (C–D) problem for linear non-variational parabolic equations with the coefficients of the principal part with discountinuities, in cases in which in general uniqueness of strong solutions in Sobolev spaces does not hold. In particular, we prove uniqueness when the discontinuities of the coefficients are contained in a hyperplane t = t ₀ and, with an extra condition on the eigenvalues of the matrix, in a line segment x = x ₀.

Global solutions for quasilinear parabolic problems

Results on the global existence of classical solutions for quasilinear parabolic equations in bounded domains with homogeneous Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions are presented. Besides quasilinear parabolic equations, the method is also applicable to some weakly-coupled reaction-diffusion systems and to elliptic equations with nonlinear dynamic boundary conditions.

Fujita type exponent for fully nonlinear parabolic equations and existence results

In this paper, we prove that a class of parabolic equations involving a second order fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic operator has a Fujita type exponent. These exponents are related with an eigenvalue problem in all RN and play the same role in blow-up theorems as the classical p^?=1+2/N introduced by Fujita for the Laplacian. We also obtain some associated existence results.     

Two‐Grid method for nonlinear parabolic equations by expanded mixed finite element methods

In this article, we develop a two‐grid algorithm for nonlinear reaction diffusion equation (with nonlinear compressibility coefficient) discretized by expanded mixed finite element method. The key point is to use two‐grid scheme to linearize the nonlinear term in the equations. The main procedure of the algorithm is solving a small‐scaled nonlinear equations on the coarse grid and dealing with a linearized system on the fine space using the Newton iteration with the coarse grid solution. Error estimation to the expanded mixed finite element solution is analyzed in detail. We also show that two‐grid solution achieves the same accuracy as long as the mesh sizes satisfy H = O(h^1/2). Two numerical experiments are given to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2013
