Well-posedness of initial value problems for singular parabolic equations

We study well-posedness of initial value problems for a class of singular quasilinear parabolic equations in one space dimension. Simple conditions for well-posedness in the space of bounded nonnegative solutions are given, which involve boundedness of solutions of some related linear stationary problems. By a suitable change of unknown, the above results can be applied to classical initial-boundary value problems for parabolic equations with singular coefficients, as the heat equation with inverse square potential.     

Well-posedness and long time behavior of singular Langevin stochastic differential equations

In this paper, we study damped Langevin stochastic differential equations with singular velocity fields. We prove the strong well-posedness of such equations. Moreover, by combining the technique of Lyapunov functions with Krylov’s estimate, we also establish exponential ergodicity for the unique strong solution.     

A 2-D free boundary problem with onset of a phase and singular elliptic boundary value problems

Numerous models of industrial processes, such as diffusion in glassy polymers or solidification phenomena, lead to general one phase free boundary value problems with phase onset.The classical well-posedness of a fast diffusion approximation to the concerned free boundary value problems is proved. The analysis is performed via a singular change of variables leading to a singular system in a fixed domain. An existence and regularity theory for classical solutions is developed for the relevant underlying class of singular elliptic boundary value problems and is then used to prove the well-posedness for the models considered in which these are coupled to Hamilton-Jacobi or to parabolic evolution equations.     

Problem with Frankl and Bitsadze-Samarskii conditions on the degeneration line and on parallel characteristics for the gellerstedt equation with a singular coefficient

We study the well-posedness of a problem for the Gellerstedt equation with a singular coefficient and with the Frankl and Bitsadze-Samarskii conditions on the degeneration line and on parallel characteristics.The uniqueness of the solution of the considered problem is proved with the use of the extremum principle, and the existence of the solution of the problem is justified with the use of the theories of singular integral equations, Wiener-Hopf equations, and Fredholm integral equations.     

Well-posedness of a model of point dynamics for a limit of the Keller-Segel system

The purpose of this paper is to prove well-posedness for a problem that describes the dynamics of a set of points by means of a system of parabolic equations. It has been seen in Velázquez (Point dynamics in a singular limit of the Keller-Segel model. (1) motion of the concentration regions, SIAM J. Appl. Math., to appear) that the considered model is the limit of a singular perturbation problem for a system of the Keller-Segel type.     

Sixth-order Cahn–Hilliard equations with singular nonlinear terms

Our aim in this paper is to study the well-posedness for a class of sixth-order Cahn–Hilliard equations with singular nonlinear terms. More precisely, we prove the existence and uniqueness of variational solutions, based on a variational inequality.     

An alternative approach to integro-differential equations

A class of integro-differential equations with operator-valued integral kernels, including equations of neutral type is studied. We show that this class is covered by the framework of evolutionary equations and we derive sufficient conditions on the kernels within this framework in order to show well-posedness.

Well-posedness of a non-local abstract Cauchy problem with a singular integral

A non-local abstract Cauchy problem with a singular integral is studied, which is a closed system of two evolution equations for a real-valued function and a function-valued function. By proposing an appropriate Banach space, the well-posedness of the evolution system is proved under some boundedness and smoothness conditions on the coefficient functions. Furthermore, an isomorphism is established to extend the result to a partial integro-differential equation with a singular convolution kernel, which is a generalized form of the stationary Wigner equation. Our investigation considerably improves the understanding of the open problem concerning the well-posedness of the stationary Wigner equation with in ow boundary conditions.     

Problem with displacement conditions on internal characteristics and the Frankl condition on a segment of the degeneration line for the Gellerstedt equation with a singular coefficient

We study the well-posedness of a problem with displacement conditions on internal characteristics and an analog of the Frankl condition on a segment of the degeneration line for the Gellerstedt equation with a singular coefficient. The uniqueness of a solution is proved with the use of an extremum principle. The proof of the existence uses the method of integral equations.     

Singular stochastic Allen–Cahn equations with dynamic boundary conditions

We prove a well-posedness result for stochastic Allen–Cahn type equations in a bounded domain coupled with generic boundary conditions. The (nonlinear) flux at the boundary aims at describing the interactions with the hard walls and is motivated by some recent literature in physics. The singular character of the drift part allows for a large class of maximal monotone operators, generalizing the usual double-well potentials. One of the main novelties of the paper is the absence of any growth condition on the drift term of the evolution, neither on the domain nor on the boundary. A well-posedness result for variational solutions of the system is presented using a priori estimates as well as monotonicity and compactness techniques. A vanishing viscosity argument for the dynamic on the boundary is also presented.     

On differentiability of solutions with respect to parameters in neutral differential equations with state-dependent delays

In this paper, we consider a class of nonlinear neutral differential equations with state-dependent delays in both the neutral and the retarded terms. We study well-posedness and continuous dependence issues and differentiability of the parameter map with respect to the initial function and other possibly infinite dimensional parameters in a pointwise sense and also in the C-norm.     

On the Cahn–Hilliard equation with dynamic boundary conditions and a dominating boundary potential

The Cahn–Hilliard and viscous Cahn–Hilliard equations with singular and possibly nonsmooth potentials and dynamic boundary condition are considered and some well-posedness and regularity results are proved.     

Abstract Cauchy Problems for Quasi-Linear Evolution Equations in the Sense of Hadamard

This paper is devoted to the well-posedness of abstract Cauchyproblems for quasi-linear evolution equations. The notion ofHadamard well-posedness is considered, and a new type of stabilitycondition is introduced from the viewpoint of the theory offinite difference approximations. The result obtained here generalizesnot only some results on abstract Cauchy problems closely relatedwith the theory of integrated semigroups or regularized semigroupsbut also the Kato theorem on quasi-linear evolution equations.An application to some quasi-linear partial differential equationof weakly hyperbolic type is also given. 2000 Mathematics SubjectClassification 34G20, 47J25 (primary), 47D60, 47D62 (secondary).     

On the uniqueness of generalized and quasi-regular solutions to equations of mixed type in ℝ<Superscript>3</Superscript>

Some three-dimensional (3D) problems for mixed type equations of first and second kind are studied. For equation of Tricomi type, they are 3D analogs of the Darboux (or Cauchy-Goursat) plane problem. Such type problems for a class of hyperbolic and weakly hyperbolic equations as well as for some hyperbolic-elliptic equations are formulated by M. Protter in 1952. In contrast to the well-posedness of the Darboux problem in the 2D case, the new 3D problems are strongly ill-posed. A similar statement of 3D problem for Keldysh-type equations is also given. For mixed type equations of Tricomi and Keldysh type, we introduce the notion of generalized or quasi-regular solutions and find sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of such solutions to the Protter’s problems. The dependence of lower order terms is also studied.     

On anisotropic caginalp phase-field type models with singular nonlinear terms

Our aim in this paper is to study the well-posedness and the existence of the global attractor of anisotropic Caginalp phase-field type models with singular nonlinear terms. The main difficulty is to prove, in one and two space dimensions, that the order parameter remains in the physically relevant range and this is achieved by deriving proper a priori estimates.     

Collocation-approximation methods for nonlinear singular integrodifferential equations in Banach spaces

A new approximation method is proposed for the numerical evaluation of the nonlinear singular integrodifferential equations defined in Banach spaces. The collocation approximation method is therefore applied to the numerical solution of such type of nonlinear equations, by using a system of Chebyshev functions.Through the application of the collocation method is investigated the existence of solutions of the system of non-linear equations used for the approximation of the nonlinear singular integrodifferential equations, which are defined in a complete normed space, i.e., a Banach space.     

Some remarks on existence of optimal controls for Mayer problems with singular components

Summary This paper proves an existence theorem for optimal controls for systems governed by ordinary differential equations and a large class of functional differential equations of neutral type. Extensions beyond earlier work are made as a result of employing a new closure theorem originally used by Cesari and Suryanarayana in their study of Pareto optima and which is, in turn, based on the Fatou lemma for vector-valued functions as proved by Schmeidler. The use of these techniques simplifies the standard arguments for existence in the presence of singular components and allows the use of very weak semi-normality conditions. It also permits the consideration of a significantly larger class of hereditary systems than has been treated in the existing literature.     

On a coupled nonlinear singular thermoelastic system

For a coupled nonlinear singular system of thermoelasticity with one space dimension, we consider its initial boundary value problem on an interval. For one of the unknowns a classical condition is replaced by a nonlocal constraint of integral type. Because of the presence of a memory term in one of the equations and the presence of a weighted boundary integral condition, the solution requires a delicate set of techniques. We first solve a particular case of the given nonlinear problem by using a functional analysis approach. On the basis of the results obtained and an iteration method we establish the well-posedness of solutions in weighted Sobolev spaces.     

A review on some contributions to perturbation theory, singular limits and well-posedness

In the beginning of the 1990s we devoted a sequence of papers to perturbation theory, singular limits and well-posedness problems. In particular, the strong well-posedness of the initial-boundary value problem for the compressible Euler equations was demonstrate for the first time. Our method also allowed singular limit results in the strong norm, even under assumptions weaker than the current ones in the literature (where the strong norm is not reached). It is worth noting that, until now, the above method and results have not been substantially improved. Hence an introduction to it still looks timely. Actually, in a forthcoming paper, by returning to this method, we improve (in a very substantial way) some important results recently appeared in the literature.
