Lattice gas model in random medium and open boundaries: hydrodynamic and relaxation to the steady state
We consider a lattice gas interacting by the exclusion rule in the presence
of a random field given by i.i.d. bounded random variables in a bounded domain
in contact with particles reservoir at different densities. We show, in
dimensions , that the rescaled empirical density field almost surely,
with respect to the random field, converges to the unique weak solution of a
non linear parabolic equation having the diffusion matrix determined by the
statistical properties of the external random field and boundary conditions
determined by the density of the reservoir. Further we show that the rescaled
empirical density field, in the stationary regime, almost surely with respect
to the random field, converges to the solution of the associated stationary
transport equation
Simultaneous determination of time-dependent coefficients and heat source
This article presents a numerical solution to the inverse problems of simultaneous determination of the time-dependent coefficients and the source term in the parabolic heat equation subject to overspecified conditions of integral type. The ill-posed problems are numerically discretized using the finite-difference method. The resulting system of nonlinear equations is solved numerically using the MATLAB toolbox routine lsqnonlin applied to minimizing the nonlinear Tikhonov regularization functional subject to simple physical bounds on the variables. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the accuracy and stability of the solution
Interior regularity criteria for suitable weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations
We present new interior regularity criteria for suitable weak solutions of
the 3-D Navier-Stokes equations: a suitable weak solution is regular near an
interior point if either the scaled -norm of the velocity
with , , or the -norm of the
vorticity with , , or the
-norm of the gradient of the vorticity with , , , is sufficiently small near
