Global Existence and Decay of Solutions for a Class of a Pseudo-Parabolic Equation with Singular Potential and Logarithmic Nonlocal Source

This article investigates the well posedness and asymptotic behavior of Neumann initial boundary value problems for a class of pseudo-parabolic equations with singular potential and logarithmic nonlinearity. By utilizing cut-off techniques and combining with the Faedo Galerkin approximation method, local solvability was established. Based on the potential well method and Hardy Sobolev inequality, derive the global existence of the solution. In addition, we also obtained the results of decay.

GRADIENT ESTIMATES AND LIOUVILLE THEOREMS FOR LINEAR AND NONLINEAR PARABOLIC EQUATIONS ON RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS

In this article, we will derive local elliptic type gradient estimates for positive solutions of linear parabolic equations （△-e/et）u（x,t）＋q（x,t）u^p（x,t）=0 and nonlinear parabolic equations （△-e/et）u（x,t）＋h（x,t）u^p（x,t）=0（p 〉 1） on Riemannian manifolds.As applications, we obtain some theorems of Liouville type for positive ancient solutions of such equations. Our results generalize that of Souplet-Zhang （[1], Bull. London Math. Soc. 38（2006）, 1045-1053） and the author （[2], Nonlinear Anal. 74 （2011）, 5141-5146）.

A REDUCED-ORDER MFE FORMULATION BASED ON POD METHOD FOR PARABOLIC EQUATIONS

In this paper, we extend the applications of proper orthogonal decomposition （POD） method, i.e., apply POD method to a mixed finite element （MFE） formulation naturally satisfied Brezz-Babu^ka for parabolic equations, establish a reduced-order MFE formulation with lower dimensions and sufficiently high accuracy, and provide the error estimates between the reduced-order POD MFE solutions and the classical MFE solutions and the implementation of algorithm for solving reduced-order MFE formulation. Some numerical examples illustrate the fact that the results of numerical computation are consis- tent with theoretical conclusions. Moreover, it is shown that the new reduced-order MFE formulation based on POD method is feasible and efficient for solving MFE formulation for parabolic equations.

BLOW-UP PROBLEMS FOR NONLINEAR PARABOLIC EQUATIONS ON LOCALLY FINITE GRAPHS

Let G =（V, E） be a locally finite connected weighted graph, and ？ be the usual graph Laplacian. In this article, we study blow-up problems for the nonlinear parabolic equation ut = ？u ＋ f（u） on G. The blow-up phenomenons for ut = ？u ＋ f（u） are discussed in terms of two cases：（i） an initial condition is given;（ii） a Dirichlet boundary condition is given. We prove that if f satisfies appropriate conditions, then the corresponding solutions will blow up in a finite time.

New method to solve electromagnetic parabolic equation

This paper puts forward a new method to solve the electromagnetic parabolic equation （EMPE） by taking the vertically-layered inhomogeneous characteristics of the atmospheric refractive index into account. First, the Fourier transform and the convo- lution theorem are employed, and the second-order partial differential equation, i.e., the EMPE, in the height space is transformed into first-order constant coefficient differential equations in the frequency space. Then, by use of the lower triangular characteristics of the coefficient matrix, the numerical solutions are designed. Through constructing ana- lytical solutions to the EMPE, the feasibility of the new method is validated. Finally, the numerical solutions to the new method are compared with those of the commonly used split-step Fourier algorithm.

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.

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.

Three-dimensional parabolic equation model for seismo-acoustic propagation: Theoretical development and preliminary numerical implementation

A three-dimensional（3D） parabolic equation（PE） model for sound propagation in a seismo-acoustic waveguide is developed in Cartesian coordinates, with x, y, and z representing the marching direction, the longitudinal direction, and the depth direction, respectively. Two sets of 3D PEs for horizontally homogenous media are derived by rewriting the 3D elastic motion equations and simultaneously choosing proper dependent variables. The numerical scheme is for now restricted to the y-independent bathymetry. Accuracy of the numerical scheme is validated, and its azimuthal limitation is analyzed. In addition, effects of horizontal refraction in a wedge-shaped waveguide and another waveguide with a polyline bottom are illustrated. Great efforts should be made in future to provide this model with the ability to handle arbitrarily irregular fluid-elastic interfaces.

Finally, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the methods.

Hamilton-Souplet-Zhang's gradient estimates for two weighted nonlinear parabolic equations

In this paper, we consider gradient estimates for positive solutions to the following weighted nonlinear parabolic equations on a complete smooth metric measure space with only Bakry-émery Ricci tensor bounded below: One is $${u_t} = {\Delta _f}u + au\log u + bu$$ with a, b two real constants, and another is $${u_t} = {\Delta _f}u + \lambda {u^\alpha }$$ with λ, α two real constants. We obtain local Hamilton-Souplet-Zhang type gradient estimates for the above two nonlinear parabolic equations. In particular, our estimates do not depend on any assumption on f.
