    On the Classical Solutions for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Equation with Ehrilch-Schwoebel Effects

    No full text
    The Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation with Ehrilch-Schwoebel effects models the evolution of surface morphology during Molecular Beam Epitaxy growth, provoked by an interplay between deposition of atoms onto the surface and the relaxation of the surface profile through surface diffusion. It consists of a nonlinear fourth order partial differential equation. Using energy methods we prove the well-posedness (i.e.. existence, uniqueness and stability with respect to the initial data) of the classical solutions for the Cauchy problem, associated with this equation

    ON A DIFFUSION MODEL FOR GROWTH AND DISPERSAL IN A POPULATION

    No full text
    In this paper, we prove the wellposedness of the classical solutions for the equation, deduced in [23]. It represents a reaction-diffusion model in which spatial structure is maintained by means of a diffusive mechanism more general than classical Fickian diffusion. This generalized diffusion takes into account the diffusive gradient (or gradient energy) necessary to maintain a pattern even in a single diffusing species

    A singular limit problem for conservation laws related to the Rosenau-Korteweg-de Vries equation

    Full text link
    We consider the Rosenau-Korteweg-de Vries equation, which contains nonlinear dispersive effects. We prove that as the diffusion parameter tends to zero, the solutions of the dispersive equation converge to discontinuous weak solutions of the Burgers equation. The proof relies on deriving suitable a priori estimates together with an application of the LpL^p compensated compactness method

    Oleinik type estimates for the Ostrovsky–Hunter Equation

    No full text
    The Ostrovsky-Hunter equation provides a model for small-amplitude long waves in a rotating fluid of finite depth. It is a nonlinear evolution equation. In this paper we study the well-posedness for the Cauchy problem associated to this equation with a class of bounded discontinuous solutions. We show that we can replace the Kruzkov-type entropy inequalities by an Oleinik-type estimate and to prove uniqueness via a nonlocal adjoint problem. An implication is that a shock wave in an entropy weak solution to the Ostrovsky-Hunter equation is admissible only if it jumps down in value (like the inviscid Burgers equation)
