This paper is concerned with the study of solutions to discrete parabolic equations in divergence form with random coefficients, and their convergence to solutions of a homogenized equation. It has previously been shown that if the random environment is translational invariant and ergodic, then solutions of the random equation converge under diffusive scaling to solutions of a homogenized parab...

We address the dynamics of fundamental and higher-order dark solitons on the intense parabolic background in a planar graded-index waveguide with self-defocusing nonlinearity. It is shown that dark solitons on the parabolic background can propagate stably, and feature the properties similar to dark solitons for standard nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We present an approximate solution for dark...

The bidomain equations represent the most complete description of cardiac electrical activity. However, the equations prove computationally burdensome as the resulting system of equations has two entries per spatial node. This paper examines the computational performance obtained by decoupling the bidomain equations into two separate systems of equations, an elliptic equation for the extracellu...

Let M and I, be (nonlinear) operators in a reflexive Banach space B for which Rg(M + L) = B and j(Mx My) i~(Lx Ly)( > / Mx My / for all 01 > 0 and pairs s, y in D(M) n D(L). Then there is a unique solution of the Cauchy problem (Mu(t))’ + Lu(t) = 0, Mu(O) = v0 . When M and L are realizations of elliptic partial differential operators in space variables, this gives existence and uniqueness of ge...

This paper investigates the local convergence of the Lagrange–SQP–Newton method applied to an optimal control problem governed by a phase field equation with distributed control. The phase field equation is a system of two semilinear parabolic differential equations. Stability analysis of optimization problems and regularity results for parabolic differential equations are used to proof converg...

We study superparabolic functions related to nonlinear parabolic equations. They are de ned by means of a parabolic comparison principle with respect to solutions. We show that every superparabolic function satis es the equation with a positive Radon measure on the right-hand side, and conversely, for every nite positive Radon measure there exists a superparabolic function which is solution to ...

An alternating direction implicit (ADI) three-dimensional fluid parabolic equation solution method with enhanced accuracy is presented. The method uses a square-root Helmholtz operator splitting algorithm that retains cross-multiplied operator terms that have been previously neglected. With these higher-order cross terms, the valid angular range of the parabolic equation solution is improved. T...

In this paper we, apply the classical control theory to a parabolic partial differential equation in a bounded domain with diffusivity-interior-boundary actuation. We first we study the existence of the solution of the parabolic partial differential equation, then we study the solution bound estimate which are used to prove the existence of the solution of the optimal control problem in a Banac...

This paper is concerned with a sixth-order parabolic equation which arises naturally as a continuum model for the formation of quantum dots and their faceting. Based on the regularity estimates for the semigroups, iteration technique and the classical existence theorem of global attractors, we prove that the sixth order parabolic equation possesses a global attractor in the H (k ≥ 0) space, whi...
