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.

Computing Optimal Control with a Quasilinear Parabolic Partial Differential Equation

This paper presents the numerical solution of a constrained optimal control problem (COCP) for quasilinear parabolic equations. The COCP is converted to unconstrained optimization problem (UOCP) by applying the exterior penalty function method. Necessary optimality conditions for the considered problem are established. The computing optimal controls are helped to identify the unknown coefficien...

Identification of a Quasilinear Parabolic Equation from Final Data

+ c(y) = u in Ω× (0, T ), assuming that the solution of an associated boundary value problem is known at the terminal time, y(x, T ), over a (probably small) subset of Ω, for each source term u. Our work can be divided into two parts. Firstly, the uniqueness of A,~b and c is proved under appropriate assumptions. Secondly, we consider a finite-dimensional optimization problem that allows for the...

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 ∞.
