Renormalized Solutions for Nonlinear Parabolic Systems with Three Unbounded Nonlinearities in Weighted Sobolev Spaces

We prove an existence result without assumptions on the growth of some nonlinear terms, and the existence of a renormalized solution.

This paper deals with some initial-oblique derivative boundary value problems for nonlinear nondivergent parabolic systems of several second order equations with measurable coefficients in multiply connected domains. Firstly, a priori estimates of solutions for the initial-boundary value problems are given, and then by using the above estimates of solutions and the Leray-Schauder theorem, the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the problems are proved.

Existence and Blow-up of Solutions for a Nonlinear Parabolic System with Variable Exponents

In this paper, we study a nonlinear parabolic system with variable exponents. The existence of classical solutions to an initial and boundary value problem is obtained by a fixed point theorem of the contraction mapping, and the blow-up property of solutions in finite time is obtained with the help of the eigenfunction of the Laplace equation and a delicated estimate.

DIFFERENCE SCHEMES WITH NONUNIFORM MESHES FOR NONLINEAR PARABOLIC SYSTEM

The boundary value problem for the nonlinear parabolic system is solved by the finite difference method with nonuniform meshes. The existence and a priori estemates of the discrete vector solutions for the general difference schemes with unequal meshsteps are established by the fixed point technique. The absolute and relative convergence of the discrete vector solution are justified by a series of a priori estimates. The analysis of mentioned problems are based on the assumption of heuristic character concerning the existence of the unique smooth solution for the original problem of the nonlinear parabolic system.

Backstepping-Based Distributed Abnormality Detection for Nolinear Parabolic Distributed Prameter Systems

In this paper, we proposed a model-based abnormality detection scheme for a class of nonlinear parabolic distributed parameter systems (DPSs). The proposed methodology consists of the design of an observer and an abnormality detection filter (ADF) based on the backstepping technique and a limited number of in-domain measurements plus one boundary measurement. By taking the difference between the measured and estimated outputs from observer, a residual signal is generated for fault detection. For the detection purpose, the residual is evaluated in a lumped manner and we propose an explicit expression for the time-varying threshold. The convergence properties of the PDE observer and the residual are analyzed by Lyapunov stability theory. Eventually, the proposed abnormality detection scheme is demonstrated on a nonlinear DPS.

The L2 error estimate is derived on anisotropic meshes without referring to the traditional nonclassical elliptic projection.

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）.

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.

CONVERGENCE OF THE CRANK-NICOLSON/NEWTON SCHEME FOR NONLINEAR PARABOLIC PROBLEM

In this paper, the Crank-Nicolson/Newton scheme for solving numerically second- order nonlinear parabolic problem is proposed. The standard Galerkin finite element method based on P2 conforming elements is used to the spatial discretization of the problem and the Crank-Nieolson/Newton scheme is applied to the time discretization of the resulted finite element equations. Moreover, assuming the appropriate regularity of the exact solution and the finite element solution, we obtain optimal error estimates of the fully discrete Crank- Nicolson/Newton scheme of nonlinear parabolic problem. Finally, numerical experiments are presented to show the efficient performance of the proposed scheme.

Improved nonlinear parabolized stability equations approach for hypersonic boundary layers

The nonlinear parabolized stability equations(NPSEs)approach is widely used to study the evolution of disturbances in hypersonic boundary layers owing to its high computational efficiency.However,divergence of the NPSEs will occur when disturbances imposed at the inlet no longer play a leading role or when the nonlinear effect becomes very strong.Two major improvements are proposed here to deal with the divergence of the NPSEs.First,all disturbances are divided into two types:dominant waves and non-dominant waves.Disturbances imposed at the inlet or playing a leading role are defined as dominant waves,with all others being defined as non-dominant waves.Second,the streamwise wavenumbers of the non-dominant waves are obtained using the phase-locked method,while those of the dominant waves are obtained using an iterative method.Two reference wavenumbers are introduced in the phase-locked method,and methods for calculating them for different numbers of dominant waves are discussed.Direct numerical simulation(DNS)is performed to verify and validate the predictions of the improved NPSEs in a hypersonic boundary layer on an isothermal swept blunt plate.The results from the improved NPSEs approach are in good agreement with those of DNS,whereas the traditional NPSEs approach is subject to divergence,indicating that the improved NPSEs approach exhibits greater robustness.
