We formulate a quasilinear parabolic equation describing the behavior of global-in-time solution to semilinear equation. study this in accordance with blow-up and quenching patterns original This is new theory partial differential equations presents several difficulties for mathematical analysis. Two approaches are examined: functional analysis viscosity solution.

Renormalization group and scaling theory have been used to determine the large time growth exponent for the characteristic length, R(t), of an interface in the form R(t)∼ t. The exponent β is different in the two cases: quasi-static, in which the time derivative in the heat equation is suppressed, and the fully dynamic system. This paper examines the transition between the two regimes through a...

We present an abstract framework for analyzing the weak error of fully discrete approximation schemes for linear evolution equations driven by additive Gaussian noise. First, an abstract representation formula is derived for sufficiently smooth test functions. The formula is then applied to the wave equation, where the spatial approximation is done via the standard continuous finite element met...

This paper is concerned with the numerical solution of parabolic equations coupled to gradient equations. The gradient equations are ordinary diierential equations whose solutions deene positions of particles in the spatial domain of the parabolic equations. The vector eld of the gradient equations is determined by gradients of solutions to the parabolic equations. Such mixed parabolic-gradient...

We present a corrected operator splitting COS method for solving nonlinear parabolic equations of convection di usion type The main feature of this method is the ability to correctly resolve nonlinear shock fronts for large time steps as opposed to standard operator splitting OS which fails to do so COS is based on solving a conservation law for modeling convection a heat type equation for mode...

To ensure personal safety and improve treatment efficiency in laser medical applications, one of the most important issues is to understand and accurately assess laser-induced thermal damage to biological tissues. Biological tissues generally consist of nonhomogeneous inner structures, in which heat flux equilibrates to the imposed temperature gradient via a thermal relaxation mechanism which c...

In the present work the effect of Cu-Water nanofluid, as heat transfer fluid, on the performance of a parabolic solar collector was studied numerically. The temperature field, thermal efficiency, mean-outlet temperatures have been evaluated and compared for the conventional parabolic collectors and nanofluid based collectors. Further, the effect of various parameters such as fluid velocity, vol...

A new sequence of eigenfunctions is developed and studied in depth. These theta polynomials are derived from a recent analytic solution of the canonical Cauchy problem for parabolic equations, namely, the inverse heat conduction problem. By appealing to the methods of the operator calculus, it is possible to categorize the new functions as polynomials of binomial and Sheffer types. The connecti...
