Estimate of the Fundamental Solution for Parabolic Operators with Discontinuous Coefficients

چکیده
We will show that the same type of estimates known for the fundamental solutions for scalar parabolic equations with smooth enough coefficients hold for the first order derivatives of fundamental solution with respect to space variables of scalar parabolic equations of divergence form with discontinuous coefficients. The estimate is very important for many applications. For example, it is important for the inverse problem identifying inclusions inside a heat conductive medium from boundary measurements.

Cordes conditions and some alternatives for parabolic equations and discontinuous diffusion ∗
We consider parabolic equations in nondivergent form with discontinuous coefficients at higher derivatives. Their investigation is most complicated because, in general, in the case of discontinuous coefficients, the uniqueness of a solution for nonlinear parabolic or elliptic equations can fail, and there is no a priory estimate for partial derivatives of a solution. There are some conditions t...
متن کاملInverse Problem for a Coupled Parabolic System with Discontinuous Conductivities: One-dimensional Case
We study the inverse problem of the simultaneous identification of two discontinuous diffusion coefficients for a one-dimensional coupled parabolic system with the observation of only one component. The stability result for the diffusion coefficients is obtained by a Carleman-type estimate. Results from numerical experiments in the one-dimensional case are reported, suggesting that the method m...
متن کاملUnique Continuation for Second-order Parabolic Operators at the Initial Time
We consider second-order parabolic equations with time independent coefficients. Under reasonable assumptions, it is known that the fundamental solution satisfies certain Gaussian bounds related to the associated geodesic distance. In this article we prove a sharp unique continuation property at the initial time which matches exactly the above-mentioned kernel bounds.
متن کاملA Generalized Maximum Principle for Boundary Value Problems for Degenerate Parabolic Operators with Discontinuous Coefficients
In [14] M.G.Platone Garroni has extended the classical generalized maximum principle (see, for instance, [15]), when the coefficients of the operator are discontinuous, to subsolutions of elliptic linear second order equations with mixed type boundary unilateral conditions, that is, on a portion of the boundary ∂Ω of Ω, the values of the solution are assigned, while on the other part a unilater...
متن کاملA MIXED PARABOLIC WITH A NON-LOCAL AND GLOBAL LINEAR CONDITIONS
Krein [1] mentioned that for each PD equation we have two extreme operators, one is the minimal in which solution and its derivatives on the boundary are zero, the other one is the maximal operator in which there is no prescribed boundary conditions. They claim it is not possible to have a related boundary value problem for an arbitrarily chosen operator in between. They have only considered lo...
