Hölder estimates for second derivatives are proved for solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic equations in two space variables. Related techniques extend the regularity theory for fully nonlinear parabolic equations in higher dimensions.
For weak solutions to the evolutional $p$-Laplace equation with a time-dependent Radon measure on the right hand side we obtain pointwise estimates via a nonlinear parabolic potential.
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 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 obtain up to a flat boundary regularity results in parabolic Hölder spaces for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic equations with oblique boundary conditions.
We consider the Cauchy problem for a system of fully nonlinear parabolic equations. In this paper, we shall show the existence of global-in-time solutions to the problem. Our condition to ensure the global existence is specific to the fully nonlinear parabolic system.
Under a precise nonlinearity-diffusivity condition we establish the decay of space-periodic entropy solutions of a multidimensional degenerate nonlinear parabolic equation.
We study the boundary behavior of viscosity nonnegative solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic Pucci extremal operators. We establish local and global comparison theorems in $C^{1,1} cylinders, along with a backward Harnack inequality.
In this paper, we prove $\mathcal{H}^{2+α}$ regularity for viscosity solutions to non-convex fully nonlinear parabolic equations near the boundary. This constitutes the parabolic counterpart of a similar $C^{2, α}$ regularity result due to Silvestre and Sirakov proved in [15] for solutions to non-convex fully nonlinear elliptic equations.
In this paper we consider initial boundary value problem for nonlinear nonlocal parabolic equation with absorption under nonlinear nonlocal boundary condition and nonnegative initial datum. We prove comparison principle, global existence and blow-up of solutions.
In this paper we prove the existence of smooth solutions to fully nonlinear and nonlocal parabolic equations with critical index. The proof relies on the apriori Hölder estimate for advection fractional-diffusion equation established by Silvestre \cite{Si2}.
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.
In this paper we prove the existence of finite traveling-wave type solutions to the nonlinear double degenerate parabolic equation of turbulent filtration with absorption.
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.
Spacetime convexity is a basic geometric property of the solutions of parabolic equations. In this paper, we study microscopic convexity properties of spacetime convex solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations and give a new simple proof of the constant rank theorem in \cite{CH13}.
We establish Harnack's estimates for positive weak solutions to a mixed local and nonlocal doubly nonlinear parabolic equation. All results presented in this paper are provided together with quantitative estimates.
The spatial gradient of solutions to nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations can be pointwise estimated by the caloric Riesz potential of the right hand side datum, exactly as in the case of the heat equation. Heat kernels type estimates persist in the nonlinear case
We prove weighted and mixed-norm Sobolev estimates for fully nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations in the whole space under a relaxed convexity condition with almost VMO dependence on space-time variables. The corresponding interior and boundary estimates are also obtained.
We consider a nonlinear parabolic equation with an exponential nonlinearity which is critical with respect to the growth of the nonlinearity and the regularity of the initial data. After showing the equivalence of the notions of weak and mild solutions, we derive decay estimates and the asymptotic behavior for small global-in-time solutions.
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.
This paper is concerned with the Minkowski convolution of viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic equations. We adopt this convolution to compare viscosity solutions of initial-boundary value problems in different domains. As a consequence, we can for instance obtain parabolic power concavity of solutions to a general class of parabolic equations. Our results apply to the Pucci operator, the normalized $q$-Laplacians with $1<q\leq\infty$, the Finsler Laplacian and more general quasilinear operators.
We prove the solvability in Sobolev spaces $W^{1,2}_p$, $p>d+1$, of the terminal-boundary value problem for a class of fully nonlinear parabolic equations, including parabolic Bellman's equations, in bounded cylindrical domains with VMO ``coefficients''. The solvability in $W^{2}_p$, $p>d$, of the corresponding elliptic boundary-value problem is also obtained.
We establish the existence of solutions to the Cauchy problem for a large class of nonlinear parabolic equations including fractional semilinear parabolic equations, higher-order semilinear parabolic equations, and viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations by using the majorant kernel introduced in [K. Ishige, T. Kawakami, and S. Okabe, Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré Anal. Non Linéaire 37 (2020), 1185--1209].
We prove $C^{1, α}$ regularity (in the parabolic sense) for the viscosity solution of a boundary obstacle problem with a fully nonlinear parabolic equation in the interior. Following the method which was first introduced for the harmonic case by L. Caffarelli in 1979, we extend the results of I. Athanasopoulos (1982) who studied the linear parabolic case and the results of E. Milakis and L. Silvestre (2008) who treated the fully nonlinear elliptic case.
We present a blow-up rate estimate for a solution to the parabolic Gross-Pitaevskii and related systems on entire space with Sobolev subcritical nonlinearity. We extend the results of [Y. Giga, S. Matsui and S. Sasayama, Indiana Univ. Math. J. {53} (2004), 483--514] to the parabolic systems.
We present a new stability result for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic equations which allows to pass to the limit when one has only weak convergence in time of the nonlinearities.
In \cite{CMS}, Chen-Ma-Salani established the strict convexity of spacetime level sets of solutions to heat equation in convex rings, using the constant rank theorem and a deformation method. In this paper, we generalize the constant rank theorem in \cite{CMS} to fully nonlinear parabolic equations, that is, establish the corresponding microscopic spacetime convexity principles of spacetime level sets. In fact, the results hold for fully nonlinear parabolic equations under a general structural condition, including the $p$-Laplacian parabolic equations ($p >1$) and some mean curvature type para…
This note establishes an interior quantitative lower bound for nonnegative supersolutions of fully nonlinear uniformly parabolic equations. The result may be interpreted as a nonlinear, quantitative version of a growth lemma established by Krylov and Safonov for nonnegative supersolutions of linear uniformly parabolic equations in nondivergence form. Our approach is different, and follows from an application of the Fabes-Stroock estimate. The result is the parabolic analogue of an elliptic regularity estimate established by Caffarelli, Souganidis, and Wang in the stochastic homogenization of f…
In this paper we characterize viscosity solutions to nonlinear parabolic equations (including parabolic Monge-Ampère equations) by asymptotic mean value formulas. Our asymptotic mean value formulas can be interpreted from a probabilistic point of view in terms of Dynamic Programming Principles for certain two-player, zero-sum games.
In this paper we study the initial boundary value problem for the system $u_t-Δu^m=-\mbox{div}(u^{q}\nabla v),\ v_t-Δv+v=u$. This problem is the so-called Keller-Segel model with nonlinear diffusion. Our investigation reveals that nonlinear diffusion can prevent overcrowding. To be precise, we show that solutions are bounded as long as $m>q>0$, thereby substantially generalizing the known results in this area. Furthermore, our result seems to imply that the Keller-Segel model can have bounded solutions and blow-up ones simultaneously.
In this paper, we establish blow-up rates for higher-order semilinear parabolic equations with nonlocal in time nonlinearity with no positive assumption on the solution. We also give Liouville-type theorem for higher-order semilinear parabolic equation with infinite memory nonlinear term which plays the main tools to prove our blow-up rate result. Finally, we study the well-posedness of mild solutions.
We study Phragmén-Lindelöf properties of viscosity solutions to a class of doubly nonlinear parabolic equations in $\mathbb{R}^n\times (0,T)$. We also include an application to some doubly nonlinear equations.
We study homogenization for fully nonlinear uniformly parabolic equations in stationary ergodic spatio-temporal media from the qualitative and quantitative perspective. We show that under suitable hypotheses, solutions to fully nonlinear uniformly parabolic equations in spatio-temporal media homogenize almost surely. In addition, we obtain a rate of convergence for this homogenization in measure, assuming that the environment is strongly mixing with a prescribed rate. A general methodology to study the stochastic homogenization of uniformly elliptic equations was introduced by Caffarelli, Soug…
Comparison results for solutions to the Dirichlet problems for a class of nonlinear, anisotropic parabolic equations are established. These results are obtained through a semi-discretization method in time after providing estimates for solutions to anisotropic elliptic problems with zero-order terms.
In this paper there are estimated the derivatives of the solution of an initial boundary value problem for a nonlinear uniformly parabolic equation in the interior with the total variation of the boundary data and the L^{infinity}-norm of the initial condition.
In this paper, a new type of comparison theorem is presented for some initial-boundary value problems of second order nonlinear parabolic systems with nonlinear boundary conditions. This comparison theorem has an advantage over the classical ones, since this makes it possible to compare two solutions satisfying different types of boundary conditions. Some applications are given in the last section, where the existence of blow-up solutions is shown for some nonlinear parabolic equations and systems with nonlinear boundary conditions.
In this paper we consider an initial boundary value problem for a semilinear parabolic equation with nonlinear nonlocal boundary condition. We prove comparison principle, the existence theorem of a local solution and study the problem of uniqueness and nonuniqueness
Under a precise nonlinearity-diffusivity assumption we establish the decay of entropy solutions of a degenerate nonlinear parabolic equation with initial data being a sum of periodic function and a function vanishing at infinity (in the sense of measure).
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.
Convergence to stationary solutions in fully nonlinear parabolic systems with general nonlinear boundary conditions is shown in situations where the set of stationary solutions creates a $C^2$-manifold of finite dimension which is normally stable. We apply the parabolic Hölder setting which allows to deal with nonlocal terms including highest order point evaluation. In this direction some theorems concerning the linearized systems is also extended. As an application of our main result we prove that the lens-shaped networks generated by circular arcs are stable under the surface diffusion flow.
In this paper we consider an initial boundary value problem for a semilinear parabolic equation with absorption and nonlinear nonlocal Neumann boundary condition. We prove comparison principle, the existence theorem of a local solution and study the problem of uniqueness and nonuniqueness.
We study existence and uniqueness of solutions to a class of nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations, in bounded domains. We show that there exists a unique solution which satisfies possibly inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. To this purpose some barrier functions are properly introduced and used.
We introduce the notion of δ-viscosity solutions for fully nonlinear uniformly parabolic PDE on bounded domains. We prove that δ-viscosity solutions are uniformly close to the actual viscosity solution. As a consequence we obtain an error estimate for implicit monotone finite difference approximations of uniformly parabolic PDE.
Aim of this paper is to extend the continuous dependence estimates proved in \cite{JK1} to quasi-monotone systems of fully nonlinear second-order parabolic equations. As by-product of these estimates, we get an Hölder estimate for bounded solutions of systems and a rate of convergence estimate for the vanishing viscosity approximation. In the second part of the paper we employ similar techniques to study the periodic homogenization of quasi-monotone systems of fully nonlinear second-order uniformly parabolic equations. Finally, some examples are discussed.
We prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the doubly nonlinear parabolic systems with mixed boundary conditions. Due to the unilateral constraint the problem comes as a variational inequality. We apply the penalty method and Gronwall's technique to prove the existence and uniqueness of the variational solution.
We study the Cauchy problem for fully nonlinear (stochastic) parabolic partial differential equations. We provide both in deterministic and stochastic case the existence of a maximal defined solution for the problem and we provide suitable blow-up criterion. The key idea is the use of the paradifferential operator calculus in order to reduce the fully nonlinear problem into an abstract quasilinear (stochastic) parabolic equation. This allows us to use some recent results on abstract quasilinear (stochastic) evolution equations in Banach spaces. To do so, we analyse the properties of the paradi…
We find an explicit form of entropy solutions to a Riemann problem for a degenerate nonlinear parabolic equation with piecewise constant velocity and diffusion coefficients. It is demonstrated that this solution corresponds to the minimum point of some strictly convex function of a finite number of variables.
We study asymptotic decay rates of viscosity solutions to some doubly nonlinear parabolic equations, including Trudinger's equation. We also prove a Phragmén-Lindelöf type result and show its optimality.
A nonlinear divergence parabolic equation with dynamic boundary conditions of Wentzell type is studied. The existence and uniqueness of a strong solution is obtained as the limit of a finite difference scheme, in the time dependent case and via a semigroup approach in the time-invariant case.
We study fully nonlinear parabolic equations in nondivergence form with oblique boundary conditions. An optimal and global Calderón-Zygmund estimate is obtained by proving that the Hessian of the viscosity solution to the oblique boundary problem is as integrable as the nonhomogeneous term in $L^{p}$ spaces under minimal regularity requirement on the nonlinear operator, the boundary data and the boundary of the domain.
