We establish comparison and existence theorems of viscosity solutions of the initial-boundary value problem for some singular degenerate parabolic partial di/erential equations with nonlinear oblique derivative boundary conditions. The theorems cover the capillary problem for the mean curvature 1ow equation and apply to more general Neumann-type boundary problems for parabolic equations in the ...

We propose a second order finite volume scheme for nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations. For some of these models (porous media equation, drift-diffusion system for semiconductors, ...) it has been proved that the transient solution converges to a steady-state when time goes to infinity. The present scheme preserves steady-states and provides a satisfying long-time behavior. Moreover, it re...

We study the large time asymptotic behavior of solutions of the doubly degenerate parabolic equation ut = div ? juj m?1 jruj p?2 ru in a cylinder R + , with initial condition u(x; 0) = u 0 (x) in and vanishing on the parabolic boundary @ R +. Here is a bounded domain in R N , the exponents m and p satisfy m + p 3, p > 1, and the initial datum u 0 is in L 1 (().

We consider the hyperbolic-parabolic singular perturbation problem for a degenerate quasilinear Kirchhoff equation with weak dissipation. This means that the coefficient of the dissipative term tends to zero when t → +∞. We prove that the hyperbolic problem has a unique global solution for suitable values of the parameters. We also prove that the solution decays to zero, as t → +∞, with the sam...

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for a quasilinear degenerate parabolic stochastic partial differential equation driven by a cylindrical Wiener process. In particular, we adapt the notion of kinetic formulation and kinetic solution and develop a well-posedness theory that includes also an L1-contraction property. In comparison to the previous works of the authors concerning stochastic...

In this paper we study controllability properties of linear degenerate parabolic equations. Due to degeneracy, classical null controllability results do not hold in general. Thus we investigate results of 'regional null controllability', showing that we can drive the solution to rest at time T on a subset of the space domain, contained in the set where the equation is nondegenerate. keywords: l...

Abstract We consider a quasilinear degenerate parabolic equation driven by the orthotropic p -Laplacian. prove that local weak solutions are locally Lipschitz continuous in spatial variable, uniformly time.
