In many situations, the notion of function is not sufficient and it needs to be extended. A classical way to do this is to introduce the notion of weak solution; another approach is to use generalized functions. Ultrafunctions are a particular class of generalized functions that has been previously introduced and used to define generalized solutions of stationary problems in [4,7,9,11,12]. In this paper we generalize this notion in order to study also evolution problems. In particular, we introduce the notion of Generalized Ultrafunction Solution (GUS) for a large family of PDE's, and we confront it with classical strong and weak solutions. Moreover, we prove an existence and uniqueness result of GUS's for a large family of PDE's, including the nonlinear Schroedinger equation and the nonlinear wave equation. Finally, we study in detail GUS's of Burgers' equation, proving that (in a precise sense) the GUS's of this equation provide a description of the phenomenon at microscopic level.
We propose a method to integrate dissipative PDEs rigorously forward in time with the use of Finite Element Method (FEM). The technique is based on the Galerkin projection on the FEM space and estimates on the residual terms. The proposed approach is illustrated on a periodically forced one-dimensional Burgers equation with Dirichlet conditions. For two particular choices of the forcing we prove the existence of the periodic globally attracting trajectory and give precise bounds on its shape.
This paper is an introduction to the theory of 1d stochastic Burgers equation under periodic boundary conditions and with a stochastic force, sufficiently smooth in the space variable. We prove the classical results on the existence and uniqueness of solutions, study their regularity and discuss their properties when the time goes to infinity or the viscosity goes to zero. The latter limit describes the turbulence in the Burgers equation, named by U. Frish "the burgulence". Our paper may be used as an elementary introduction to the modern methods of stochastic PDE.
In this paper, a viscous shock wave under space-periodic perturbation of generalized Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation is investigated. It is shown that if the initial periodic perturbation around the viscous shock wave is small, then the solution time asymptotically tends to a viscous shock wave with a shift partially determined by the periodic oscillations. Moreover the exponential time decay rate toward the viscous shock wave is also obtained for some certain perturbations.
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem with the far field condisiton for the generalized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Burgers equation with a fourth-order dissipative term. When the corresponding Riemann problem for the hyperbolic part admits a Riemann solution which consists of single rarefaction wave, it is proved that the solution of the Cauchy problem tends toward the rarefaction wave as time goes to infinity. We can further obtain the same global asymptotic stability of the rarefaction wave to the generalized Korteweg-de Vries-Benjamin-Bona-Mahony…
We study the existence of monotone heteroclinic traveling waves for a general Fisher-Burgers equation with nonlinear and possibly density-dependent diffusion. Such a model arises, for instance, in physical phenomena where a saturation effect appears for large values of the gradient. We give an estimate for the critical speed (namely, the first speed for which a monotone heteroclinic traveling wave exists) for some different shapes of the reaction term, and we analyze its dependence on a small real parameter when this brakes the diffusion, complementing our study with some numerical simulations…
We prove the existence of generalized characteristics for weak, not necessarily entropic, solutions of Burgers' equation \[ \partial_t u +\partial_x \frac{u^2}{2} =0, \] whose entropy productions are signed measures. Such solutions arise in connection with large deviation principles for the hydrodynamic limit of interacting particle systems. The present work allows to remove a technical trace assumption in a recent result by the two first authors about the $L^2$ stability of entropic shocks among such non-entropic solutions. The proof relies on the Lagrangian representation of a solution's hyp…

We prove the convergence of the solutions $u_{m,p}$ of the equation $u_t+(u^m)_x=-u^p$ in $\R\times (0,\infty)$, $u(x,0)=u_0(x)\ge 0$ in $\R$, as $m\to\infty$ for any $p>1$ and $u_0\in L^1(\R)\cap L^{\infty}(\R)$ or as $p\to\infty$ for any $m>1$ and $u_0\in L^{\infty}(\R)$ . We also show that in general $\underset{p\to\infty}\lim\underset{m\to\infty}\lim u_{m,p}\ne\underset{m\to\infty}\lim\underset{p\to\infty}\lim u_{m,p}$.
We introduce a new concepts of weak solution for the conservative stochastic Burgers equation in any dimension. The definition is based on weak solution concepts introduced by various authors in order to make sense of equations which do not solutions in the sense of distributions. In one dimension the solution reduces to the classical distributional solution of the 1--D stochastic Burgers equation.
In this paper we are concerned with the well-posedness and the exponential stabilization of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries Burgers equation, posed on the whole real line, under the effect of a damping term. Both problems are investigated when the exponent p in the nonlinear term ranges over the interval $[1,5)$. We first prove the global well-posedness in $H^s(R)$, for $0 \leq s \leq 3$ and $1 \leq p < 2$, and in $H^3(R)$, when $p \geq 2$. For $2 \leq p < 5$, we prove the existence of global solutions in the $L^2$-setting. Then, by using multiplier techniques combined with interpolation the…
We introduce a new technique for studying well posedness and energy estimates for evolution equations with a rough transport term. The technique is based on finding suitable space-time weight functions for the equations at hand. As an example we study the well posedness of the generalized viscous Burgers equation perturbed by a rough path transport noise.
The generalized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Burgers equation (gBBMB) describes the flow of blood through a long, viscoelastic artery. In this article we introduce a formulation of gBBMB valid on networks with semi-infinite edges joined at a single junction, with the network's edges corresponding to a segment of the arterial tree. To reflect sudden changes in the material properties of blood vessels, the coefficients of gBBMB are allowed to take different values on each edge of the network. Critically, our formulation ensures that the total mass of the solution to gBBMB is constant in time, even in th…
This note addresses input-to-state stability (ISS) properties with respect to (w.r.t.) boundary and in-domain disturbances for Burgers' equation. The developed approach is a combination of the method of De~Giorgi iteration and the technique of Lyapunov functionals by adequately splitting the original problem into two subsystems. The ISS properties in $L^2$-norm for Burgers' equation have been established using this method. Moreover, as an application of De~Giorgi iteration, ISS in $L^\infty$-norm w.r.t. in-domain disturbances and actuation errors in boundary feedback control for a 1-$D$ {linea…
In this paper, we study the small-time global null controllability of the generalized Burgers' equations $y_t + γ|y|^{γ-1}y_x-y_{xx}=u(t)$ on the segment $[0,1]$. The scalar control $u(t)$ is uniform in space and plays a role similar to the pressure in higher dimension. We set a right Dirichlet boundary condition $y(t,1)=0$, and allow a left boundary control $y(t,0)=v(t)$. Under the assumption $γ>3/2$ we prove that the system is small-time global null controllable. Our proof relies on the return method and a careful analysis of the shape and dissipation of a boundary layer.
We consider higher order viscous Burgers' equations with generalized nonlinearity and study the associated initial value problems for given data in the $L^2$-based Sobolev spaces. We introduce appropriate time weighted spaces to derive multilinear estimates and use them in the contraction mapping principle argument to prove local well-posedness for data with Sobolev regularity below $L^2$. We also prove ill-posedness for this type of models and show that the local well-posedness results are sharp in some particular cases viz., when the orders of dissipation $p$, and nonlinearity $k+1$, satisfy…
We consider the large time behavior of strong solutions to a kind of stochastic Burgers equation, where the position x is perturbed by a Brownian noise. It is well known that both the rarefaction wave and viscous shock wave are time-asymptotically stable for deterministic Burgers equation since the pioneer work of A. Ilin and O. Oleinik [21] in 1964. However, the stability of these wave patterns under stochastic perturbation is not known until now. In this paper, we give a definite answer to the stability problem of the rarefaction and viscous shock waves for the 1-d stochastic Burgers equatio…
A numerical scheme based on backward differentiation formula (BDF) and generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) has been developed. The proposed scheme has been employed to investigate three cases of Burgers equation, one-dimensional, two-dimensional and two-dimensional coupled models. The results showed an effectiveness accuracy in absolute error and error norms
We study admissible transformations and Lie symmetries for a class of variable-coefficient Burgers equations. We combine the advanced methods of splitting into normalized subclasses and of mappings between classes that are generated by families of point transformations parameterized by arbitrary elements of the original classes. A nontrivial differential constraint on the arbitrary elements of the class of variable-coefficient Burgers equations leads to its partition into two subclasses, which are related to normalized classes via families of point transformations parameterized by subclasses' …
Some connections between classical and nonclassical symmetries of a partial differential equation (PDE) are given in terms of determining equations of the two symmetries. These connections provide additional information for determining nonclassical symmetry of a PDE and make it easier to solve the system of nonlinear determining equations. As example, new nonclassical symmetries are exhibited for a class of generalized Burgers equation and KdV-type equations are given.
