Large-time asymptotics for nonlinear diffusions: the initial-boundary value problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we investigate the large-time behavior of solutions to the first initial-boundary value problem for the non-linear diffusion ut = (u )xx, m > 0. In particular, we prove exponential decay of u(x, t) towards its own steady state in L1-norm for long times and we give an explicit upper bound for the rate of decay. The result is based on a new application of entropy estimates, and on detailed lower bounds for the entropy production in this situation.

Forced cubic Schrödinger equation with Robin boundary data: large-time asymptotics.
We consider the initial-boundary-value problem for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation, formulated on a half-line with inhomogeneous Robin boundary data. We study traditionally important problems of the theory of nonlinear partial differential equations, such as the global-in-time existence of solutions to the initial-boundary-value problem and the asymptotic behaviour of solutions for lar...
متن کاملOn Approximate Stationary Radial Solutions for a Class of Boundary Value Problems Arising in Epitaxial Growth Theory
In this paper, we consider a non-self-adjoint, singular, nonlinear fourth order boundary value problem which arises in the theory of epitaxial growth. It is possible to reduce the fourth order equation to a singular boundary value problem of second order given by w''-1/r w'=w^2/(2r^2 )+1/2 λ r^2. The problem depends on the parameter λ and admits multiple solutions. Therefore, it is difficult to...
متن کاملExistence of positive solutions for a boundary value problem of a nonlinear fractional differential equation
This paper presents conditions for the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a boundary value problem of a nonlinear fractional differential equation. We show that it has at least one or two positive solutions. The main tool is Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem on cone and fixed point index theory.
