On a class of forward -backward parabolic equations: Formation of singularities

We study the formation of singularities for the problem {u(t) = [phi(u)](xx) + epsilon[psi(u)](txx) in Omega x (0, T) phi(u) + epsilon[psi(u)](t) = 0 in partial derivative Omega x(0, T) u = u(0) >= 0 in Omega x {0}, where epsilon and Tare positive constants, Omega a bounded interval, u(0) a…

Extended interpolation in some Sobolev-type spaces

Boundedness and convergence of the extended Lagrange interpolating operator are investigated in the space L_u,t^p of Sobolev type.

Testing for additivity and joint effects in multivariate nonparametric regression using Fourier and wavelet methods

We consider the problem of testing for additivity and joint effects in multivariate nonparametric regression when the data are modelled as observations of an unknown response function observed on a d-dimensional lattice and contaminated with additive Gaussian noise. We propose tests for additivity…

A transversal method of lines for the numerical modeling of vertical infiltration into the vadose zone

Here some issues are studied, related to the numerical solution of Richards' equation in a one dimensional spatial domain by a technique based on the Transversal Method of Lines (TMoL). The core idea of TMoL approach is to semi-discretize the time derivative of Richards' equation: afterward a…

A well-balanced scheme able to cope with hydrodynamic limits for linear kinetic models

Well-balanced schemes were introduced to numerically enforce consistency with longtime behavior of the underlying continuous PDE. When applied to linear kinetic models, like the Goldstein-Taylor system, this construction generates discretizations which are inconsistent with the hydrodynamic stiff…

On extrapolation blowups in the $L_p$ scale

Yano's extrapolation theorem dated back to 1951 establishes boundedness properties of a subadditive operator acting continuously in for close to and/or taking into as and/or with norms blowing up at speed and/or,. Here we give answers in terms of Zygmund, Lorentz-Zygmund and small Lebesgue spaces…

A mathematical model for SO2 aggression to calcium carbonate stones numerical approximation and asymptotic analysis

We introduce a degenerate nonlinear parabolic system that describes the chemical aggression of calcium carbonate stones under the attack of sulphur dioxide. For this system, we present some finite element and finite difference schemes to approximate its solutions. Numerical stability is given under…

Existence and regularity for eddy current system with nonsmooth conductivity

We discuss the well-posedness of the "transient eddy current" magneto-quasi-static approximation of Maxwell's initial value problem with bounded and measurable conductivity, with sources, on a domain. We prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions, and we provide global Hölder estimates…
