In this note, we investigated existence and uniqueness of entropy solution for triply nonlinear degenerate parabolic problem with zero-flux boundary condition. Accordingly to the case of doubly nonlinear degenerate parabolic hyperbolic equation, we propose a generalization of entropy formulation and prove existence and uniqueness result without any structure condition.

DECAY RATE FOR DEGENERATE CONVECTION DIFFUSION EQUATIONS IN BOTH ONE AND SEVERAL SPACE DIMENSIONS

We consider degenerate convection-diffusion equations in both one space dimension and several space dimensions. In the first part of this article, we are concerned with the decay rate of solutions of one dimension convection diffusion equation. On the other hand, in the second part of this article, we are concerned with a decay rate of derivatives of solution of convection diffusion equation in several space dimensions.

STRONG COMPACTNESS OF APPROXIMATE SOLUTIONS TO DEGENERATE ELLIPTIC-HYPERBOLIC EQUATIONS WITH DISCONTINUOUS FLUX FUNCTION

Under a non-degeneracy condition on the nonlinearities we show that sequences of approximate entropy solutions of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic equations are strongly precompact in the general case of a Caratheodory flux vector. The proofs are based on deriving localization principles for H-measures associated to sequences of measurevalued functions. This main result implies existence of solutions to degenerate parabolic convection-diffusion equations with discontinuous flux. Moreover, it provides a framework in which one can prove convergence of various types of approximate solutions, such as those generated by the vanishing viscosity method and numerical schemes.

THE BLOW-UP PROPERTIES FOR A DEGENERATE SEMILINEAR PARABOL IC EQUATION WITH NONL OCAL SOURCE

This paper deals with the blow up properties of the positive solutions to the nonlocal degenerate semilinear parabolic equation u t-(x αu x) x=∫ a 0f(u) d x in (0,a)×(0,T) under homogeneous Dirichlet conditions. The local existence and uniqueness of classical solution are established. Under appropriate hypotheses, the global existence and blow up in finite time of positive solutions are obtained. It is also proved that the blow up set is almost the whole domain. This differs from the local case. Furthermore, the blow up rate is precisely determined for the special case: f(u)=u p,p>1.

Multidomain pseudospectral methods for nonlinear convection-diffusion equations

Multidomain pseudospectral approximations to nonlinear convection-diffusion equations are considered. The schemes are formulated with the Legendre-Galerkin method but the nonlinear term is collocated at the Legendre/Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto points inside each subinterval. Appropriate base functions are introduced so that the matrix of the system is sparse, and the method can be implemented efficiently and in parallel. The stability and the optimal rate of convergence of the methods are proved. Numerical results are given for both the single domain and the multidomain methods to make a comparison.

By using the compensated compactness theory, some results on the existence of weak solution are established. In addition, under certain condition the uniqueness of solution is proved.

CHARACTERISTIC GALERKIN METHOD FOR CONVECTION-DIFFUSION EQUATIONS AND IMPLICIT ALGORITHM USING PRECISE INTEGRATION

This paper presents a finite element procedure for solving transient, multidimensional convection-diffusion equations. The procedure is based on the characteristic Galerkin method with an implicit algorithm using precise integration method. With the operator splitting procedure, the precise integration method is introduced to determine the material derivative in the convection-diffusion equation, consequently, the physical quantities of material points. An implicit algorithm with a combination of both the precise and the traditional numerical integration procedures in time domain in the Lagrange coordinates for the characteristic Galerkin method is formulated. The stability analysis of the algorithm shows that the unconditional stability of present implicit algorithm is enhanced as compared with that of the traditional implicit numerical integration procedure. The numerical results validate the presented method in solving convection-diffusion equations. As compared with SUPG method and explicit characteristic Galerkin method, the present method gives the results with higher accuracy and better stability.

REGULARITY OF RANDOM ATTRACTORS FOR A STOCHASTIC DEGENERATE PARABOLIC EQUATIONS DRIVEN BY MULTIPLICATIVE NOISE

We study the regularity of random attractors for a class of degenerate parabolic equations with leading term div（o（x）↓△u） and multiplicative noises. Under some mild conditions on the diffusion variable o（x） and without any restriction on the upper growth p of nonlinearity, except that p 〉 2, we show the existences of random attractor in D0^1,2（DN, σ） space, where DN is an arbitrary （bounded or unbounded） domain in R^N N 〉 2. For this purpose, some abstract results based on the omega-limit compactness are established.

EXISTENCE AND NONEXISTENCE OF GLOBAL POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR DEGENERATE PARABOLIC EQUATIONS IN EXTERIOR DOMAINS

This article deals with the degenerate parabolic equations in exterior domains and with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We obtain that pc = （σ ＋ m ）n / （ n-σ- 2 ） is its critical exponent provided max{-1, [ （1- m ）n- 2] / （ n ＋ l ） } 〈 σ 〈 n- 2. This critical exponent is not the same as that for the corresponding equations with the boundary value 0, but is more closely tied to the critical exponent of the elliptic type degenerate equations. Futhermore, we demonstrate that if max（1, σ ＋ m） 〈 p 〈 pc, then every positive solution of the equations blows up in finite time; whereas for p 〉 pc, the equations admit global positive solutions for some boundary values and initial data. Meantime, we also demonstrate that its positive solutions blow up in finite time provided n〈σ＋2.
