Moving Boundary Problems with Nonlinear Diffusion

Equidistribution grids for two-parameter convection–diffusion boundary-value problems

In this article, we propose an adaptive grid based on mesh equidistribution principle for two-parameter convection-diffusion boundary value problems with continuous and discontinuous data. A numerical algorithm based on an upwind finite difference operator and an appropriate adaptive grid is constructed. Truncation errors are derived for both continuous and discontinuous problems. Parameter uni...

Some free boundary problems involving non-local diffusion and aggregation

We report on recent progress in the study of evolution processes involving degenerate parabolic equations which may exhibit free boundaries. The equations we have selected follow two recent trends in diffusion theory: considering anomalous diffusion with long-range effects, which leads to fractional operators or other operators involving kernels with large tails; and the combination of diffusio...

Reaction-diffusion waves with nonlinear boundary conditions

A reaction-diffusion equation with nonlinear boundary condition is considered in a two-dimensional infinite strip. Existence of waves in the bistable case is proved by the Leray-Schauder method. 1. Formulation of the problem. Reaction-diffusion problems with nonlinear boundary conditions arise in various applications. In physiology, such problems describe in particular development of atheroscle...

Nonlinear diffusion problem with dynamical boundary value

A nonlinear degenerate convection-diffusion initial boundary value problem is studied in a bounded domain. A dynamical boundary condition (containing the time derivative of a solution) is prescribed on the one part of the boundary. This models a non-perfect contact on the boundary. Existence and uniqueness of a weak solution in corresponding function spaces is proved using the backward Euler me...
