We analyze fully implicit and linearly implicit backward difference formula (BDF) methods for quasilinear parabolic equations, without making any assumptions on the growth or decay of the coefficient functions. We combine maximal parabolic regularity and energy estimates to derive optimal-order error bounds for the time-discrete approximation to the solution and its gradient in the maximum norm...

We consider linear inhomogeneous non-autonomous parabolic problems associated to sesquilinear forms, with discontinuous dependence of time. We show that for these problems, the property of maximal parabolic regularity can be extrapolated to time integrability exponents r 6= 2. This allows us to prove maximal parabolic L r-regularity for discontinuous non-autonomous second-order divergence form ...

We investigate stochastic homogenization for some degenerate quasilinear parabolic PDEs. The underlying nonlinear operator degenerates along the space variable, uniformly in the nonlinear term: the degeneracy points correspond to the degeneracy points of a reference diffusion operator on the random medium. Assuming that this reference diffusion operator is ergodic, we can prove the homogenizati...

In this Note, we review the main existing results, methods, and some key open problems on the controllability of nonlinear hyperbolic and parabolic equations. Especially, we describe our recent universal approach to solve the local controllability problem of quasilinear time-reversible evolution equations, which is based on a new unbounded perturbation technique. It is also worthy to mention th...

1. Introduction. The aim of this paper is threefold. First, by a unified approach, we prove that several classical blow-up results obtained over the last three decades for semilinear and quasilinear parabolic problems in R n are valid on noncompact, complete Riemannian manifolds, which include those with nonnegative Ricci curvatures. Next, we remove some unnecessary a priori growth conditions o...

The aim of this article is twofold: (1). develop a strategy to prove the existence of chaos in weakly quasilinear systems, (2). strengthen the existing results on chaos in partial differential equations. First, we study a sineGordon equation containing weakly quasilinear terms, and existence of chaos is proved. Then, we study a Ginzburg-Landau equation containing weakly quasilinear terms, and e...

We consider second order quasilinear parabolic equations where also the main part contains functional dependence and state-dependent delay on the unknown function. Existence and some qualitative properties of the solutions are shown.

We prove short time existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence on the initial data of smooth solutions of quasilinear locally parabolic equations of arbitrary even order on closed manifolds. CONTENTS

We show convergence of solutions to equilibria for quasilinear and fully nonlinear parabolic evolution equations in situations where the set of equilibria is non-discrete, but forms a finite-dimensional C-manifold which is normally stable.
