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.

Regularity and uniqueness in quasilinear parabolic systems

Inspired by a problem in steel metallurgy, we prove the existence, regularity, uniqueness, and continuous data dependence of solutions to a coupled parabolic system in a smooth bounded 3D domain, with nonlinear and nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. The nonlinear coupling takes place in the di usion coefcient. The proofs are based on anisotropic estimates in tangential and normal directions, a...

Uniqueness and stability in determining the heat radiative coefficient, the initial temperature and a boundary coefficient in a parabolic equation

We consider an inverse parabolic problem. We prove that the heat radiative coefficient, the initial temperature and a boundary coefficient can be simultaneously determined from the final overdetermination, provided that the heat radiative coefficient is a priori known in a small subdomain. Moreover we establish a stability estimate for this inverse problem.
