Long-time Behavior for a Nonlinear Fourth-order Parabolic Equation

We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the initialboundary value problem, with periodic boundary conditions, for a fourth-order nonlinear degenerate diffusion equation with a logarithmic nonlinearity. For strictly positive and suitably small initial data we show that a positive solution exponentially approaches its mean as time tends to infinity. These results are derived by analyzing...

A Nonlinear Fourth-order Parabolic Equation with Nonhomogeneous Boundary Conditions

Abstract. A nonlinear fourth-order parabolic equation with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet–Neumann boundary conditions in one space dimension is analyzed. This equation appears, for instance, in quantum semiconductor modeling. The existence and uniqueness of strictly positive classical solutions to the stationary problem are shown. Furthermore, the existence of global nonnegative weak solutions to the...

Quasi - wavelet for Fourth Order Parabolic Partial Integro - differential Equation ⋆

In this paper we discuss the numerical solution of initial-boundary value problem for the fourth order parabolic partial integro-differential equation. We use the forward Euler scheme for time discretization and the quasi-wavelet method for space discretization. Sometimes, we give a new method about the treatment of boundary condition. Numerical experiment is included to demonstrate the validit...

Euler case for a general fourth-order differential equation

as x →∞, where x is the independent variable and the prime denotes d/dx. The functions pi(x) (0 ≤ i ≤ 2) and qi(x) (i = 1,2) are defined on an interval [a,∞), are not necessarily real-valued, and are all nowhere zero in this interval. Our aims are to identify relations between q0, q1, p0, p1, and p2 that represents an Euler case for (1.1) and to obtain the asymptotic forms of four linearly inde...
