Optimal control for state constrained two-phase Stefan problems
1991
We give a new approach to state constrained control problems associated to non-degenerate nonlinear parabolic equations of Stefan type. We obtain uniform estimates for the violation of the constraints.
QUALITATIVE PROPERTIES OF THE SOLUTIONS OF A NONLINEAR FLUX-LIMITED EQUATION ARISING IN THE TRANSPORT OF MORPHOGENS
2011
In this paper we study some qualitative properties of the solutions of a nonlinear flux-limited equation arising in the transport of morphogens in biological systems. Questions related to the existence of steady states, the finite speed of propagating fronts or the regularization in the interior of the support are studied from analytical and numerical points of view.
THE MINIMIZING TOTAL VARIATION FLOW WITH MEASURE INITIAL CONDITIONS
2004
In this paper we obtain existence and uniqueness of solutions for the Cauchy problem for the minimizing total variation flow when the initial condition is a Radon measure in ℝN. We study limit solutions obtained by weakly approximating the initial measure μ by functions in L1(ℝN). We are able to characterize limit solutions when the initial condition μ=h+μs, where h∈L1(ℝN)∩L∞(ℝN), and μs=αℋk⌊ S,α≥0,k is an integer and S is a k-dimensional manifold with bounded curvatures. In case k<N-1 we prove that the singular part of the solution does not move, it remains equal to μs for all t≥0. In particular, u(t)=δ0 when u(0)=δ0. In case k=N-1 we prove that the singular part of the limit solution …
Stability of degenerate parabolic Cauchy problems
2015
We prove that solutions to Cauchy problems related to the $p$-parabolic equations are stable with respect to the nonlinearity exponent $p$. More specifically, solutions with a fixed initial trace converge in an $L^q$-space to a solution of the limit problem as $p>2$ varies.
Parabolic equations with nonlinear singularities
2011
Abstract We show the existence of positive solutions u ∈ L 2 ( 0 , T ; H 0 1 ( Ω ) ) for nonlinear parabolic problems with singular lower order terms of the asymptote-type. More precisely, we shall consider both semilinear problems whose model is { u t − Δ u + u 1 − u = f ( x , t ) in Ω × ( 0 , T ) , u ( x , 0 ) = u 0 ( x ) in Ω , u ( x , t ) = 0 on ∂ Ω × ( 0 , T ) , and quasilinear problems having natural growth with respect to the gradient, whose model is { u t − Δ u + ∣ ∇ u ∣ 2 u γ = f ( x , t ) in Ω × ( 0 , T ) , u ( x , 0 ) = u 0 ( x ) in Ω , u ( x , t ) = 0 on ∂ Ω × ( 0 , T ) , with γ > 0 . Moreover, we prove a comparison principle and, as an application, we study the asymptotic behav…
Variational parabolic capacity
2015
We establish a variational parabolic capacity in a context of degenerate parabolic equations of $p$-Laplace type, and show that this capacity is equivalent to the nonlinear parabolic capacity. As an application, we estimate the capacities of several explicit sets.
