A Quasilinear Parabolic Equation With Inhomogeneous Density and Absorption

Quenching Profile for a Quasilinear Parabolic Equation

where 00, Z>0, and uq(x) >0, Vx G [—1, Z]. Without loss of generality, we may assume that uq(x) is smooth and bounded above by 1 such that uo(±Z) = 1. Since uo(x) is positive, the local (in time) existence and uniqueness of a classical solution of the problem (1.1)—(1.3) are trivial (see [8]). Many results in quenching, such as single point quenching and profiles, are similar to those b...

Rational Approximation for a Quasilinear Parabolic Equation

Approximation theorems, analogous to known results for linear elliptic equations, are obtained for solutions of the heat equation. Via the Cole-Hopf transformation, this gives rise to approximation theorems for a nonlinear parabolic equation, Burgers’ equation.

Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions to a Degenerate Quasilinear Parabolic Equation with a Gradient Term

This article concerns the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem of a degenerate quasilinear parabolic equations with a gradient term. A blow-up theorem of Fujita type is established and the critical Fujita exponent is formulated by the spacial dimension and the behavior of the coefficient of the gradient term at ∞.

A priori estimates for quasilinear degenerate parabolic equations

We prove some maximum and gradient estimates for classical solutions to a wide class of quasilinear degenerate parabolic equations, including first order ones. The proof is elementary and exploits the smallness of the domain in the time direction.
