Homogenization of the wave equation in composites with imperfect interface : a memory effect
2007
Abstract In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of the wave equation with rapidly oscillating coefficients in a two-component composite with e-periodic imperfect inclusions. We prescribe on the interface between the two components a jump of the solution proportional to the conormal derivatives through a function of order e γ . For the different values of γ, we obtain different limit problems. In particular, for γ = 1 we have a linear memory effect in the homogenized problem.
Existence of a traveling wave solution in a free interface problem with fractional order kinetics
2021
Abstract In this paper we consider a system of two reaction-diffusion equations that models diffusional-thermal combustion with stepwise ignition-temperature kinetics and fractional reaction order 0 α 1 . We turn the free interface problem into a scalar free boundary problem coupled with an integral equation. The main intermediary step is to reduce the scalar problem to the study of a non-Lipschitz vector field in dimension 2. The latter is treated by qualitative topological methods based on the Poincare-Bendixson Theorem. The phase portrait is determined and the existence of a stable manifold at the origin is proved. A significant result is that the settling time to reach the origin is fin…
