Abstract. The present paper is concerned with the numerical solution of a shape identification problem for the heat equation. The goal is to determine of the shape of a void or an inclusion of zero temperature from measurements of the temperature and the heat flux at the exterior boundary. This nonlinear and ill-posed shape identification problem is reformulated in terms of three different shap...

In this paper parabolic random partial differential equations and parabolic stochastic partial differential equations driven by a Wiener process are considered. A deterministic, tensorized evolution equation for the second moment and the covariance of the solutions of the parabolic stochastic partial differential equations is derived. Well-posedness of a space-time weak variational formulation ...

This paper focuses on the boundary approximate controllability of two classes of linear parabolic systems, namely a system of n heat equations coupled through constant terms and a 2× 2 cascade system coupled by means of a first order partial differential operator with space-dependent coefficients. For each system we prove a sufficient condition in any space dimension and we show that this condi...

Regularity theory in PDE plays an important role in the development of second-order elliptic and parabolic equations. Classical regularity estimates for elliptic and parabolic equations consist of Schauder estimates, L estimates, De Giorgi-Nash estimates, KrylovSafonov estimates, and so on. L and Schauder estimates, which play important roles in the theory of partial differential equations, are...

In this paper characterizations of graphs satisfying heat kernel estimates for a wide class of space-time scaling functions are given. The equivalence of the two-sided heat kernel estimate and the parabolic Harnack inequality is also shown via the equivalence of the upper (lower) heat kernel estimate to the parabolic mean value (and super mean value) inequality.

In this work, we derive different systems of mesoscopic moment equations for the heat-conduction problem and analyze the basic features that they must hold. We discuss twoand three-equation systems, showing that the resulting mesoscopic equation from two-equation systems is of the telegraphist’s type and complies with the Cattaneo equation in the Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics Framework. ...

0. Introduction. Let u be a function whose domain is some open set in a Euclidean space. Then, under various conditions on u, there is a well defined first boundary value (Dirichlet) problem, involving an analysis of the boundary points of the domain, and a more or less closely associated problem of the existence of boundary limits of u. The evaluation of u in terms of the boundary function thu...

An evacuated tube solar collector using therminol D-12 as heat transfer fluid coupled with parabolic trough is studied in this paper. An experimental set-up was constructed to study the performance of evacuated tube collector with therminol D-12 as heat transfer fluid. The parabolic trough is coupled with evacuated tube collector for better performance. In the traditional solar collectors water...
