A splitting method for the augmented Burgers equation
(BIT Numerical Mathematics, 2017-07-01)In this paper we consider a splitting method for the augmented Burgers equation and prove that it is of first order. We also analyze the large-time behavior of the approximated solution by obtaining the first term in the ... -
A semi-discrete large-time behavior preserving scheme for the augmented Burgers equation
(ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis, 2017-06-01)In this paper we analyze the large-time behavior of the augmented Burgers equation. We first study the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem and obtain $L^1-L^p$ decay rates. The asymptotic behavior of the solution is ... -
Traveling waves to models of solid-solid phase transitions driven by configurational forces
(GAMM Mitteilungen, 2011-12-31)We study the existence of traveling/standing waves to models based on configurational forces. These models describe, respectively, structural phase transitions in solids, e.g., Shape memory alloys, and phase transitions ... -
Flux identification for 1-d scalar conservation laws in the presence of shocks
(Mathematics of Computation, 2011-12-31)We consider the problem of flux identification for 1-d scalar conservation laws formulating it as an optimal control problem. We introduce a new optimization strategy to compute numerical approximations of minimizing fluxes. ... -
Interface motion by interface diffusion driven by bulk energy: Justification of a diffusive interface model
(Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics, 2011-12-31)We construct an asymptotic solution of a system consisting of the partial differential equations of linear elasticity theory coupled with a degenerate parabolic equation, and show that when a regularity parameter tends to ... -
A kinetic scheme for transient mixed flows in non uniform closed pipes: A global manner to upwind all the source terms
(Journal of Scientific Computing, 2011-12-31)We present a numerical kinetic scheme for an unsteady mixed pressurized and free surface model. This model has a source term depending on both the space variable and the unknown U of the system. Using the Finite Volume and ... -
Homogenization of the Neumann problem in perforated domains: An alternative approach
(Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations, 2011-12-31)The main result of this paper is a compactness theorem for families of functions in the space SBV (Special functions of Bounded Variation) defined on periodically perforated domains. Given an open and bounded set Ω n, and ... -
Dispersive Properties for Discrete Schrödinger Equations
(Journal of Fourier Analysis and Applications, 2011-12-31)In this paper we prove dispersive estimates for the system formed by two coupled discrete Schrödinger equations. We obtain estimates for the resolvent of the discrete operator and prove that it satisfies the limiting ... -
Regularity issues for the null-controllability of the linear 1-d heat equation
(Systems and Control Letters, 2011-12-31)The fact that the heat equation is controllable to zero in any bounded domain of the Euclidean space, any time T>0 and from any open subset of the boundary is well known. On the other hand, numerical experiments show ... -
Nematic elastomers: Gamma-limits for large bodies and small particles
(SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, 2011-12-31)We compute the large-body and the small-particle Gamma-limit of a family of energies for nematic elastomers. We work under the assumption of small deformations (linearized kinematics) and consider both compressible and ... -
The asymptotic behaviour of the heat equation in a twisted Dirichlet-Neumann waveguide
(Journal of Differential Equations, 2011-12-31)We consider the heat equation in a straight strip, subject to a combination of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. We show that a switch of the respective boundary conditions leads to an improvement of the decay ... -
Solvability via viscosity solutions for a model of phase transitions driven by configurational forces
