A generalization of a criterion for the existence of solutions to semilinear elliptic equations Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. S (IF 1.233) Pub Date : 2020-10-28 Pierre Baras
We prove an abstract result of existence of "good" generalized subsolutions for convex operators. Its application to semilinear elliptic equations leads to an extension of results by P.B-M.Pierre concerning a criterion for the existence of solutions to a semilinear elliptic or parabolic equation with a convex nonlinearity. We apply this result to the model problem $ -\Delta u = a |\nabla u|^p+ b|u|^q+f

The fast-sorption and fast-surface-reaction limit of a heterogeneous catalysis model Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. S (IF 1.233) Pub Date : 2020-07-18 Björn Augner; Dieter Bothe
Within this paper, we consider a heterogeneous catalysis system consisting of a bulk phase $ \Omega $ (chemical reactor) and an active surface $ \Sigma = \partial \Omega $ (catalytic surface), between which chemical substances are exchanged via adsorption (transport of mass from the bulk boundary layer adjacent to the surface, leading to surface-accumulation by a transformation into an adsorbed form)

In this paper, the evolution of a polygonal spiral curve by the crystalline curvature flow with a pinned center is considered from two viewpoints; a discrete model consisting of an ODE system describing facet lengths and another using level set method.

We consider the blow-up problems of the power type of stochastic differential equation, $ dX = \alpha X^p(t)dt+X^q(t)dW(t) $. It has been known that there exists a critical exponent such that if $ p $ is greater than the critical exponent then the solution $ X(t) $ blows up almost surely in the finite time. In our research, focus on this critical exponent, we propose a numerical scheme by adaptive

Two notes on the O'Hara energies Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. S (IF 1.233) Pub Date : 2020-06-06 Shoya Kawakami
The O'Hara energies, introduced by Jun O'Hara in 1991, were proposed to answer the question of what is a "good" figure in a given knot class. A property of the O'Hara energies is that the "better" the figure of a knot is, the less the energy value is. In this article, we discuss two topics on the O'Hara energies. First, we slightly generalize the O'Hara energies and consider a characterization of its

The finite volume method (FVM) as a numerical method can be straightforwardly applied for global as well as local gravity field modelling. However, to obtain precise numerical solutions it requires very refined discretization which leads to large-scale parallel computations. To optimize such computations, we present a special class of numerical techniques that are based on a physical decomposition

We construct a data-driven dynamical system model for a macroscopic variable the Reynolds number of a high-dimensionally chaotic fluid flow by training its scalar time-series data.

We propose a time semi-discrete scheme for the Caginalp phase-field system with singular potentials and dynamic boundary conditions. The scheme is based on a time splitting which decouples the equations and on a convex splitting of the energy associated to the problem. The scheme is unconditionally uniquely solvable and the energy is nonincreasing if the time step is small enough. The discrete solution

Autonomous sustained oscillations are ubiquitous in living and nonliving systems. As open systems, far from thermodynamic equilibrium, they defy entropic laws which mandate convergence to stationarity. We present structural conditions on network cycles which support global Hopf bifurcation, i.e. global bifurcation of non-stationary time-periodic solutions from stationary solutions. Specifically, we

We consider the chemical reaction networks and study currents in these systems. Reviewing recent decomposition of rate functionals from large deviation theory for Markov processes, we adapt these results for reaction networks. In particular, we state a suitable generalisation of orthogonality of forces in these systems, and derive an inequality that bounds the free energy loss and Fisher information

The notion of Energy-Dissipation-Principle convergence (EDP-convergence) is used to derive effective evolution equations for gradient systems describing diffusion in a structure consisting of several thin layers in the limit of vanishing layer thickness. The thicknesses of the sublayers tend to zero with different rates and the diffusion coefficients scale suitably. The Fokker–Planck equation can be

The paper presents a numerical study of the efficiency of the newly proposed far-field boundary simulations of wall-bounded, stably stratified flows. The comparison of numerical solutions obtained on large and truncated computational domain demonstrates how the solution is affected by the adopted far-field conditions. The mathematical model is based on Boussinesq approximation for stably stratified

Uniform-in-time bounds of nonnegative classical solutions to reaction-diffusion systems in all space dimension are proved. The systems are assumed to dissipate the total mass and to have locally Lipschitz nonlinearities of at most (slightly super-) quadratic growth. This pushes forward the recent advances concerning global existence of reaction-diffusion systems dissipating mass in which a uniform-in-time

In addition, we prove that the solution set is compact.

We consider a model for the motion of a phase interface in an elastic medium, for example, a twin boundary in martensite. The model is given by a semilinear parabolic equation with a fractional Laplacian as regularizing operator, stemming from the interaction of the front with its elastic environment. We show that the presence of randomly distributed, localized obstacles leads to a threshold phenomenon

We consider the well-known minimizing-movement approach to the definition of a solution of gradient-flow type equations by means of an implicit Euler scheme depending on an energy and a dissipation term.

The goal of this work is to analyze a model for the rate-independent evolution of sets with finite perimeter. The evolution of the admissible sets is driven by that of (the complement of) a given time-dependent set, which has to include the admissible sets and hence is to be understood as an external loading. The process is driven by the competition between perimeter minimization and minimization of

We consider an Ostrovsky-Hunter type equation, which also includes the short pulse equation, or the Kozlov-Sazonov equation. We prove the well-posedness of the entropy solution for the non-homogeneous initial boundary value problem. The proof relies on deriving suitable a priori estimates together with an application of the compensated compactness method.

Feynman path formula for the time fractional Schrödinger equation Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. S (IF 1.233) Pub Date : 2020-01-16 Hassan Emamirad; Arnaud Rougirel
In this paper, we define $ E_ \alpha(t^ \alpha A) $, where $ A $ is the generator of an uniformly bounded ($ C_0 $) semigroup and $ E_ \alpha(z) $ the Mittag-Leffler function. Since the mapping $ t\mapsto E_ \alpha(t^ \alpha A) $ has not the semigroup property, we cannot use the Trotter formula for representing the Feynman operator calculus. Thus for the Hamiltonian $ H_ \alpha = -\frac{{\hbar_ \alpha2}}{{2m}}\Delta

On absence of threshold resonances for Schrödinger and Dirac operators Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. S (IF 1.233) Pub Date : 2020-01-16 Fritz Gesztesy; Roger Nichols
Using a unified approach employing a homogeneous Lippmann-Schwinger-type equation satisfied by resonance functions and basic facts on Riesz potentials, we discuss the absence of threshold resonances for Dirac and Schrödinger operators with sufficiently short-range interactions in general space dimensions.More specifically, assuming a sufficient power law decay of potentials, we derive the absence of

On hyperbolic mixed problems with dynamic and Wentzell boundary conditions Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. S (IF 1.233) Pub Date : 2020-01-16 Davide Guidetti
We study mixed hyperbolic systems with dynamic and Wentzell boundary conditions. The boundary condition contains a tangential operator which is strongly elliptic on the boundary. We prove results of generation of strongly continuous groups and well-posedness.
