On a nonlinear, nonlocal parabolic problem with conservation of mass, mean and variance

چکیده
In this paper we prove that the steepest descent of certain porous-medium type functionals with respect to the quadratic Wasserstein distance over a constrained (but not weakly closed) manifold gives rise to a nonlinear, nonlocal parabolic partial differential equation connected to the study of the asymptotic behavior of solutions for filtration problems. The result by Carlen and Gangbo on constrained optimization for steepest descent of the negative Boltzmann entropy in the Wasserstein space is generalized to porous-medium type functionals. An interesting feature of the resulting Fokker-Planck equation is the nonlocality of its drift term occurring at the same time as its nonlinearity.

A 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...

Abstract. This article is devoted to the study of the finite element approximation for a nonlocal nonlinear parabolic problem.

متن کاملOn a Nonlocal Aggregation Model with Nonlinear Diffusion
We consider a nonlocal aggregation equation with nonlinear diffusion which arises from the study of biological aggregation dynamics. As a degenerate parabolic problem, we prove the well-posedness, continuation criteria and smoothness of local solutions. For compactly supported nonnegative smooth initial data we prove that the gradient of the solution develops L∞ x -norm blowup in finite time.
