On a Small Elliptic Perturbation of a Backward-Forward Parabolic Problem, with Applications to Stochastic Models

چکیده
We consider an elliptic PDE in two variables. As one parameter approaches zero, this PDE collapses to a parabolic one, that is forward parabolic in a part of the domain and backward parabolic in the remainder. Such problems arise naturally in various stochastic models, such as fluid models for data-handling systems and Markovmodulated queues. We employ singular perturbation methods to study the problem for small values of the parameter.

A small elliptic perturbation of a backward-forward parabolic problem with applications to stochastic models

متن کاملAnalytic Solution for Hypersonic Flow Past a Slender Elliptic Cone Using Second-Order Perturbation Approximations
An approximate analytical solution is obtained for hypersonic flow past a slender elliptic cone using second-order perturbation techniques in spherical coordinate systems. The analysis is based on perturbations of hypersonic flow past a circular cone aligned with the free stream, the perturbations stemming from the small cross-section eccentricity. By means of hypersonic approximations for the ...
متن کاملA numerical scheme for solving nonlinear backward parabolic problems
In this paper a nonlinear backward parabolic problem in one dimensional space is considered. Using a suitable iterative algorithm, the problem is converted to a linear backward parabolic problem. For the corresponding problem, the backward finite differences method with suitable grid size is applied. It is shown that if the coefficients satisfy some special conditions, th...
متن کاملBackward Stochastic Differential Equations and Viscosity Solutions of Systems of Semilinear Parabolic and Elliptic PDEs of Second Order
The aim of this set of lectures is to present the theory of backward stochastic differential equations, in short BSDEs, and its connections with viscosity solutions of systems of semi– linear second order partial differential equations of parabolic and elliptic type, in short PDEs. Linear BSDEs have appeared long time ago, both as the equations for the adjoint process in stochastic control, as ...
متن کاملEntropy solutions to a strongly degenerate anisotropic convection–diffusion equation with application to utility theory
We study the deterministic counterpart of a backward–forward stochastic differential utility, which has recently been characterized as the solution to the Cauchy problem related to a PDE of degenerate parabolic type with a conservative first order term. We first establish a local existence result for strong solutions and a continuation principle, and we produce a counterexample showing that, in...
