Localization of blow-up points for a parabolic system with a nonlinear boundary condition

The authors localize the blow-up points of positive solutions of the systemu _t =Δu,v _t =Δv with conditions at the boundary of a bounded smooth domain Θ under some restrictions off andg and the initial data (Δu ₀, Δν₀>c>0). If Θ is a ball, the hypothesis on the initial data can be removed. Supported by Universidad de Buenos Aires under grant EX071 and CONICET.     

An optimization algorithm for the pile driver problem

In this paper we present the analysis of an algorithm of Uzawa type to compute solutions of the quasi variational inequality $$\begin{gathered} (QVI)\left( {\frac{{\partial ^2 u}}{{\partial t^2 }},\upsilon - \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}}} \right) + \left( {\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial x}},\frac{{\partial \upsilon }}{{\partial x}} - \frac{{\partial ^2 u}}{{\partial x\partial t}}} \right) + \left( {\frac{{\partial ^2 u}}{{\partial x\partial t}},\frac{{\partial \upsilon }}{{\partial x}} - \frac{{\partial ^2 u}}{{\partial x\partial t}}} \right) + \hfill \\ + \left[ {u(1,t) + \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}}(1,t)} \right]\left[ {\upsilon (1) - \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}}(1,t)} \right] + J(u;\upsilon ) - J\left( {u;\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}}} \right) \geqslant \hfill \\ \geqslant \left( {f,\upsilon - \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}}} \right) + F(t)\left[ {\upsilon (0) - \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}}(0,t)} \right],t > 0,\forall \upsilon \in H^1 (0,1), \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ which is a model for the dynamics of a pile driven into the ground under the action of a pile hammer.

Local and Global Existence of Solutions to Initial Value Problems of Nonlinear Kaup-Kupershmidt Equations

This paper is devoted to studying the initial value problems of the nonlinear Kaup Kupershmidt equations δu/δt ＋ α1 uδ^2u/δx^2 ＋ βδ^3u/δx^3 ＋ γδ^5u/δx^5 = 0, （x,t）∈ E R^2, and δu/δt ＋ α2 δu/δx δ^2u/δx^2 ＋ βδ^3u/δx^3 ＋ γδ^5u/δx^5 = 0, （x, t） ∈R^2. Several important Strichartz type estimates for the fundamental solution of the corresponding linear problem are established. Then we apply such estimates to prove the local and global existence of solutions for the initial value problems of the nonlinear Kaup- Kupershmidt equations. The results show that a local solution exists if the initial function u0（x） ∈ H^s（R）, and s ≥ 5/4 for the first equation and s≥301/108 for the second equation.
