In this paper, it is analyzed a non-classical non-autonomous diffusion equation with delay. First, the well-posedness and the existence of a local solution is proved by using a fixed point theorem. Then, the existence of solutions defined globally in future is ensured. The asymptotic behaviour of solutions is analyzed within the framework of pullback attractors as it has revealed a powerful the...

In this paper we show wellposedness of two equations of nonlinear acoustics, as relevant e.g. in applications of high intensity ultrasound. After having studied the Dirichlet problem in previous papers, we here consider Neumann boundary conditions which are of particular practical interest in applications. The Westervelt and the Kuznetsov equation are quasilinear evolutionary wave equations wit...

Many statistical problems, including some of the most important for physical applications, have long been regarded as underdetermined from the standpoint of a strict frequency de nition of probability; yet they may appear well posed or even overdetermined by the principles of maximum entropy and transformation groups. Furthermore, the distributions found by these methods turn out to have a de n...

In this paper, we develop and analyze C0 penalty methods for the fully nonlinear Monge-Ampère equation det(D2u) = f in two dimensions. The key idea in designing our methods is to build discretizations such that the resulting discrete linearizations are symmetric, stable, and consistent with the continuous linearization. We are then able to show the well-posedness of the penalty method as well a...

Abstract. We study the initial-boundary value problem of the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluids in a general domain in R with compact and smooth boundary, subject to the kinematic and vorticity boundary conditions on the non-flat boundary. We observe that, under the nonhomogeneous boundary conditions, the pressure p can be still recovered by solving the Neumann problem for the Po...

In this article we investigate the existence of a solution to a semi-linear, elliptic, partial differential equation with distributional coefficients and data. The problem we consider is a generalization of the Lichnerowicz equation that one encounters in studying the constraint equations in general relativity. Our method for solving this problem consists of solving a net of regularized, semi-l...

The Horn-Schunck equations are a coupled system of two partial differential equations which aim at finding motion information in a given image sequence. Recent results [1, 2] asserted that this system is well-posed and can not be decoupled under any linear transformations. In this paper, two alternating iterative algorithms are proposed to solve this system. These algorithms have three properti...

A common method in solving ill-posed problems is to substitute the original problem by a family of well-posed i.e., with a unique solution regularized problems. We will use this idea to define and study a two-step algorithm to solve hierarchical fixed point problems under different conditions on involved parameters. We will see that choosing appropriate hypotheses on the parameters, we will obt...

This thesis is devoted to the study of stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equations (abbreviated as SNLS) with linear multiplicative noise in two aspects: the wellposedness in L(R), H(R) and the noise effects on blowup phenomena in the non-conservative case. 1. The well-posedness in L(R). The first fundamental question when dealing with SNLS is the well-posedness problem. In the first chapter, we...

In this short note, we study the local well-posedness of a 3D model for incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with partical viscosity. This model was originally proposed by Hou-Lei in [4]. In a recent paper, we prove that this 3D model with partial viscosity will develop a finite time singularity for a class of initial condition using a mixed Dirichlet Robin boundary condition. The local well-...
