This paper considers the hyperbolic-parabolic coupled system, arising from the generalized thermoelastic coupled system, in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^n$. We study some qualitative properties for an energy term by diagonalization procedures, and for the solution by the WKB analysis. Particularly, we derive new large time asymptotic profiles with the regularity-loss structure (from the biharmonic parabolic equation and the diffusion wave equation with the Riesz potential operator) and optimal decay estimates with suitable higher regularities for the Cauchy data. Finally, we discover that the wave equation with the Riesz potential dissipation is a large time approximated model of our hyperbolic-parabolic coupled system.
In this paper, we prove boundary pointwise $C^{k,α}$ regularity for any $k\geq 1$ for fully nonlinear parabolic equations. As an application, we give a direct and short proof of the higher regularity of the free boundaries in obstacle-type problems.
We consider linear inhomogeneous non-autonomous parabolic problems associated to sesquilinear forms, with discontinuous dependence of time. We show that for these problems, the property of maximal parabolic regularity can be extrapolated to time integrability exponents $r\neq 2$. This allows us to prove maximal parabolic $L^r$-regularity for discontinuous non-autonomous second-order divergence form operators in very general geometric settings and to prove existence results for related quasilinear equations.
We study the regularity of solutions to the obstacle problem for the parabolic biharmonic equation. We analyze the problem via an implicit time discretization, and we prove some regularity properties of the solution.
In this paper, we consider the regularity theory for fully nonlinear parabolic integro-differential equations with symmetric kernels. We are able to find parabolic versions of Alexandrov-Backelman-Pucci estimate with 0<σ<2. And we show a Harnack inequality, Hölder regularity, and C^{1,α}-regularity of the solutions by obtaining decay estimates of their level sets.
We obtain up to a flat boundary regularity results in parabolic Hölder spaces for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic equations with oblique boundary conditions.
In a wide class of the so called Obstacle Problems of parabolic type it is shown how to improve the optimal regularity of the solution and as a consequence how to obtain space-time regularity of the corresponding free boundary.
We study a hyperbolic-parabolic model of chemotaxis in dimensions one and two. In particular, we prove the global existence of classical solutions in certain dissipation regimes.
We give a short, simple proof of maximal regularity for linear parabolic evolution equations on manifolds with cylindrical ends by making use of pseudodifferential parametrices and the concept of R-boundedness for the resolvent.
This note presents a regularity result with proof for an initial-boundary value problem of a linear parabolic system involving curl of the unknown vector field, subjected to the boundary condition of prescribing the tangential component of the solution.
We survey recent regularity results for parabolic equations involving nonlocal operators like the fractional Laplacian. We extend the results of Felsinger-Kassmann (2013) and obtain regularity estimates for nonlocal operators with kernels not being absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure.
We derive regularity estimates for viscosity solutions to the parabolic normalized p-Laplace. By using approximation methods and scaling arguments for the normalized p-parabolic operator, we show that the gradient of bounded viscosity solutions is locally asymptotically Lipschitz continuous when $p$ is sufficiently close to 2. In addition, we establish regularity estimates in Sobolev spaces.
We establish Hölder estimates for the time derivative of solutions of fully non-linear parabolic equations that does not necessarily have $C^{2,α}$ estimates.
We address the self-similar solvability of a singular parabolic problem and show that solutions to parabolic fully nonlinear equations are not expected to be $C^{2,1}$.
We show that the parabolic minimal surface equation has an eventual regularization effect, that is, the solution becomes smooth after a (strictly positive) finite time.
The parabolic normalized p-Laplace equation is studied. We prove that a viscosity solution has a time derivative in the sense of Sobolev belonging locally to $L^2$.
In this small paper, we study a boundary value problem for an equation of parabolic-hyperbolic type. The goal is to show how we can prove existence and uniqueness theorem for a regular solution.
Here we describe a simple and fundamental approach to the maximal L^p regularity of parabolic equations, which only uses the concept of singular integrals of Volterra type. Knowledge of analytic semigroups, R-boundedness or H^\infty-functional calculus are not required.
We introduce new lower bounds for the fractional Fisher information. Equipped with these bounds we study a hyperbolic-parabolic model of chemotaxis and prove the global existence of solutions in certain dissipation regimes.
In this paper we study the existence and partial regularity of weak solutions to an elliptic-parabolic system that models the single-phase miscible displacement of one incompressible fluid by another in a porous media. The system is singular and involves quadratic nonlinearity. A partial regularity result is obtained via the Fefferman-Stein inequality.
We show that elliptic second order operators $A$ of divergence type fulfill maximal parabolic regularity on distribution spaces, even if the underlying domain is highly non-smooth, the coefficients of $A$ are discontinuous and $A$ is complemented with mixed boundary conditions. Applications to quasilinear parabolic equations with non-smooth data are presented.
We prove boundary regularity and a compactness result for parabolic nonlocal equations of the form $u_t-Iu=f$, where the operator $I$ is not necessarily translation invariant. As a consequence of this and the regularity results for translation invariant case, we obtain $C^{1,α}$ interior estimates in space for non translation invariant operators under some hypothesis on the time regularity of the boundary data.
We establish Hölder estimates for the time derivative of solutions of non-local parabolic equations under mild assumptions for the boundary data. As a consequence we are able to extend the Evans-Krylov estimate for rough kernels to parabolic equations.
We give a comprehensive treatment of the parabolic Signorini problem based on a generalization of Almgren's monotonicity of the frequency. This includes the proof of the optimal regularity of solutions, classification of free boundary points, the regularity of the regular set and the structure of the singular set.
The main result of this paper is to prove that viscosity solutions to a parabolic free boundary problem with variable coefficients are Lipschitz continuous under the assumptions that the solution has a Lipschitz free boundary and satisfies a non-degeneracy condition. This is the optimal regularity for this problem.
We consider one-dimensional parabolic free boundary value problem with a nonlocal (integro-differential) condition on the free boundary. Results on $C^m$-regularity of the free boundary are obtained. In particular, a necessary and sufficient condition for infinite differentiability of the free boundary is given.
In this paper we study a parabolic version of the fractional obstacle problem, proving almost optimal regularity for the solution. This problem is motivated by an American option model proposed by Menton which introduces, into the theory of option evaluation, discontinuous paths in the dynamics of the stock's prices.
In this paper we prove the continuity of stable subspaces associated to parabolic-hyperbolic boundary value problems, for limiting values of parameters. The analysis is based on the construction performed in a previous paper of Kreiss' type symmetrizers.
We give a unified proof of Hölder regularity of weak solutions for mixed local and nonlocal $p$-Laplace type parabolic equations with the full range of exponents $1<p<\infty$. Our proof is based on the expansion of positivity together with the energy estimate and De Giorgi type lemma.
Motivated by problems arising in geometric flows, we prove several regularity results for systems of local and nonlocal equations, adapting to the parabolic case a neat argument due to Caffarelli. The geometric motivation of this work comes from recent works arising in the theory harmonic maps with free boundary in particular. We prove Hölder regularity of weak solutions.
In this paper, we study the second order Sobolev regularity of solutions to the parabolic $p$-Laplace equation. For any $p$-parabolic function $u$, we show that $D(|Du|^{\frac{p-2+s}{2}}Du)$ exists as a function and belongs to $L^{2}_{\text{loc}}$ with $s>-1$ and $1<p<\infty$. The range of $s$ is sharp.
This paper deals with a class of nonlinear anisotropic parabolic equations with degenerate coercivity. Using the anisotropic Gagliardo-Nirenberg-type inequality, we prove some existence and regularity results for the solutions under the framework of anisotropic Sobolev spaces, which generalize the previous results of [10,18,23].
We consider the IBVP in exterior domains for the p-Laplacian parabolic system. We prove regularity up to the boundary, extinction properties for p \in ( 2n/(n+2) , 2n/(n+1) ) and exponential decay for p= 2n/(n+1) .
We prove two maximal regularity results in spaces of continuous and Hölder continuous functions, for a mixed linear Cauchy-Dirichlet problem with a fractional time derivative $\mathbb{D}_t^α$. This derivative is intended in the sense of Caputo and $α$ is taken in $(0, 2)$. In case $α= 1$, we obtain maximal regularity results for mixed parabolic problems already known in mathematica literature.
In the class of the so called non-dynamic Fractional Obstacle Problems of parabolic type, it is shown how to obtain higher regularity as well as optimal regularity of the space derivatives of the solution. Furthermore, at free boundary points of positive parabolic density, it is proven that the time derivative of the solution is Hölder continuous. Finally, at regular free boundary points, space-time regularity of the corresponding free boundary is obtained for any fraction $s\in(0,1)$.
Linear reaction-diffusion equations with inhomogeneous boundary and transmission conditions are shown to possess the property of maximal Lp regularity. The new feature is the fact that the transmission interface is allowed to intersect the boundary of the domain transversally.
We give a proof for the Hölder continuity of functions in the parabolic De Giorgi classes in metric measure spaces. We assume the measure to be doubling, to support a weak $(1,p)$-Poincaré inequality and to satisfy the annular decay property.
We establish partial regularity for vector-valued solutions to parabolic systems where the coefficients are possibly discontinuous with respect to (x,t). More precisely, we assume a VMO-condition with respect to the (x,t) and continuity with respect to u and prove Hölder continuity of the solutions outside of singular sets.
In this paper I discuss nonlinear parabolic systems that are generalizations of scalar diffusion equations. I show that when potential is a convex function that depends only on the norm of the solution, then bounded weak solutions of these parabolic systems are everywhere Holder continuous and thus everywhere smooth. I also show that the method used to prove this result can be easily adopted to simplify the proof of the result due to Wiegner on everywhere regularity of bounded weak solutions of strongly coupled parabolic systems.
We investigate global and local regularity of generalized solutions to parabolic initial-boundary value problem for Petrovskii system of second order differential equations. Results are formulated in terms of the belonging of right-hand sides of the problem to some generalized Sobolev spaces. We also obtain new sufficient conditions under which the generalized solution should be classical.
We study the regularity of solutions of parabolic fully nonlinear nonlocal equations. We proof Holder regularity in space and time and for translation invariant equations and under different assumptions on the kernels Holder regularity for the spatial derivatives. The proofs rely on a weak parabolic ABP inspired in recent work done by L. Silvestre and the classic ideas of K. Tso and L. Wang. Our results remain uniform as the order of the equation goes to 2 allowing us to understand the non local theory as an extension to the classical one.
We consider viscosity solutions to non-homogeneous degenerate and singular parabolic equations of the $p$-Laplacian type and in non-divergence form. We provide local Hölder and Lipschitz estimates for the solutions. In the degenerate case, we prove the Hölder regularity of the gradient. Our study is based on a combination of the method of alternatives and the improvement of flatness estimates.
In a cylindrical space-time domain with a convex, spatial base, we establish a local Lipschitz estimate for weak solutions to parabolic systems with Uhlenbeck structure up to the lateral boundary, provided homogeneous Dirichlet data are assumed on that part of the lateral boundary.
It is shown that, for the bi-harmonic equation, an optimal regularity criterion of the vertex of typical paraboloids can be expressed in terms of Osgood-Dini integral conditions of Petrovskii's type for the heat equation derived in 1934. Some extensions of the first Fourier coefficent method to other PDEs are discussed. A survey on boundary point regularity for elliptic and parabolic PDEs is enclosed.
In this paper, we study almost minimizers for the parabolic thin obstacle (or Signorini) problem with zero obstacle. We establish their $H^{σ,σ/2}$-regularity for every $0<σ<1$, as well as $H^{β,β/2}$-regularity of their spatial gradients on the either side of the thin space for some $0<β<1$. A similar result is also obtained for almost minimizers for the Signorini problem with variable Hölder coefficients.
We establish global regularity for weak solutions to quasilinear divergence form elliptic and parabolic equations over Lipschitz domains with controlled growth conditions on low order terms. The leading coefficients belong to the class of BMO functions with small mean oscillations with respect to $x$.
In this note we consider the initial boundary value problem for the heat equation on cylinders based on Lipschitz domains with Besov data. We obtain a regularity exponent for the solution that improves the rate of convergence of nonlinear approximation methods.
This paper establishes sharp local regularity estimates for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic free boundary problems with singular absorption terms. The main difficulties are due to the blow-up of the source along the free boundary and the lack of a variational structure. The proof combines the power of the Ishii-Lions method with intrinsically parabolic oscillation estimates. The results are new, even for second-order linear operators in nondivergence form.
Optimal second-order regularity in the space variables is established for solutions to Cauchy-Dirichlet problems for nonlinear parabolic equations and systems of $p$-Laplacian type, with square-integrable right-hand sides and initial data in a Sobolev space. As a consequence, generalized solutions are shown to be strong solutions. Minimal regularity on the boundary of the domain is required, though the results are new even for smooth domains. In particular, they hold in arbitrary bounded convex domains.
In the present work we investigate a boundary problem with non-local conditions, connecting values of seeking function on various characteristics for parabolic-hyperbolic equation with three lines of type changing. The considered problem is equivalently reduced to the system of Volterra integral equations of the second kind.
We prove local Lipschitz regularity for weak solutions to a class of degenerate parabolic PDEs modeled on the parabolic $p$-Laplacian $$\p_t u= \sum_{i=1}^{2n} X_i (|\nabla_0 u|^{p-2} X_i u),$$ in a cylinder $Ω\times \R^+$, where $Ω$ is domain in the Heisenberg group $\Hn$, and $2\le p \le 4$. The result continues to hold in the more general setting of contact sub-Riemannian manifolds.
The paper gives a comprehensive study of Inertial Manifolds for hyperbolic relaxations of an abstract semilinear parabolic equation in a Hilbert space. A new scheme of constructing Inertial Manifolds for such type of problems is suggested and optimal spectral gap conditions which guarantee their existence are established. Moreover, the dependence of the constructed manifolds on the relaxation parameter in the case of the parabolic singular limit is also studied.
Extending to systems of hyperbolic--parabolic conservation laws results of Howard and Zumbrun for strictly parabolic systems, we show for viscous shock profiles of arbitrary amplitude and type that necessary spectral (Evans function) conditions for linearized stability established by Mascia and Zumbrun are also sufficient for linearized and nonlinear phase-asymptotic stability, yielding detailed pointwise estimates and sharp rates of convergence in $L^p$, $1\le p\le \infty$.
In this paper we prove higher regularity for 2m-th order parabolic equations with general boundary conditions. This is a kind of maximal L_p-L_q regularity with differentiability, i.e. the main theorem is isomorphism between the solution space and the data space using Besov and Triebel--Lizorkin spaces. The key is compatibility conditions for the initial data. We are able to get a unique smooth solution if the data satisfying compatibility conditions are smooth.
