Solution formular for Laplace equation

Maybe the book "Handbook of Linear Partial Differential Equations for Engineers and Scientists" by Polyanin, A. D. Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2002, can help you. By the way, if $f=0$ the solution (up to a …

Blow up of solutions to parabolic PDEs

Certainly the size of the domain can play a role. For the classical case $$ \partial_t u=\partial_x^2 u+u^2, \text{ $x$ in }[-L,L] $$ with Dirichlet BC I recomend Evan's book (Chapter 9, I think). in …

How to use Gronwall's inequality?

I would think that the authors want to say the following: Define $$ Y(t)=1+\int_0^t w(\tau)^{\alpha'}d\tau. $$ Then your inequality reduces to $$ Y'(t)\leq Y(t), $$ so Gronwall inequality (differen …

Dispersive estimate for linear semigroup

Let's consider the propagator corresponding to the one-dimensional equation $$ u_t=\Lambda^\alpha u_x,\; u(x,0)=f(x) $$ where $$ \widehat{\Lambda^\alpha u}=|\xi|^\alpha\hat{u}(\xi), $$ and $-1< \alph …

Maximum of the solution of a parabolic PDE

As the initial data is perfectly smooth, I think that it is easy to apply the standard energy method to obtain a local in time existence in $H^s$ for any $s>0$. Take $s=3$. Then $g(t)=u(x^*,t)$ is a L …

Integrability of the Poisson integral

Maybe this is rather obvious, but I'm stuck. Let's consider the Laplace equation in the upper half plane with boundary condition $g$, $i.e.$ $$ \Delta u(x,y)=0, u(x,0)=g(x). $$ Then the solution is gi …

Heat equation with Neumann BC

A very naive answer: Assume that the initial data is positive (the same should be true dealing with absolute values...) and take p>2 (p=2 follows the same idea). Multiply the equation by $pu^{p-1}$ a …

I have this linear PDE...

This is an elliptic operator. I think that Chapter 6 of Evans's book "Partial differential equations" is appropriate if the domain is bounded. In the whole plane you can use Fourier techniques, isn't …

Does $u_{t}=g(t)u_{x}^{2}$ blow-up for bounded positive g? What about $u_{t}=u_{xx}+g(t)u_{x...

At least for initial data verifying $$ \|u_0\|_{L^\infty}\leq 1/3 $$ there is no blow up. The reason is that the $L^\infty$ norm is uniformly bounded: $$ \|u(t)\|_{L^\infty}\leq \|u_0\|_{L^\infty} $ …

Using Galerkin method for PDE with Neumann boundary condition?

I'll try my best: As $\partial \Omega$ is measure zero and Lp functions are defined a.e., you need that the trace operator (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_operator) is well defined. For insta …

Mathematical difference between entropy and energy

I have a rather soft question. Let's assume that we consider the heat equation posed in $S^1$: $$ \partial_t u=\partial_x^2u. $$ It is well known that if we define the functionals $$ H(t)=\int_{-\pi}^ …

integration by parts for the fractional Laplacian

You can integrate by parts: $$ \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} (-\Delta)^s f(x) g(x)dx=\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} (-\Delta)^s g(x) f(x)dx. $$ Using Fourier and $L^2$ the equality is obvious. Let's do "by hand" in $d=1 …

A bound in Sobolev spaces of negative order

Let's consider the domain $U=[-\pi,\pi]\times[-1,1]$. Assume that we have two functions $f\in H^2$ and $g\in H^{1/2}$. I wonder if the following bound is true: $$ \|f g_{x_1}\|_{H^{-0.5}(U)}\leq C( …

weak solution of viscous Burgers equation with non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions

Try to substract $g(x)=\alpha-x(\alpha-\beta)$. Now the dirichlet conditions of the new unknown $h=\rho-g$ are homogeneous. The new problem is $$ \partial_t h=\partial_u^2h-E\partial_u f(h)+F(g). $$ …

Blow-up for the quasilinear heat equation $u_t= u \ u_{x x}$ or the related $w_t= \left(w_x ...

I don't know if this is useful, but anyway: Let's compute $$ \partial_t \partial_x u=\partial_x u\partial_x^2 u+u\partial_x^3u, $$ and $$ \partial_t \partial_x^2 u=\partial_x^2 u\partial_x^2 u+\partia …
