Abstract We consider a class of nonlocal viscous Cahn–Hilliard equations with Neumann boundary conditions for the chemical potential. The double-well potential is allowed to be singular (e.g. of logarithmic type), while the singularity of the convolution kernel does not fall in any available existence theory under Neumann boundary conditions. We prove well-posedness for the nonlocal equation in a suitable variational sense. Secondly, we show that the solutions to the nonlocal equation converge to the corresponding solutions to the local equation, as the convolution kernels approximate a Dirac delta. The asymptotic behaviour is analyzed by means of monotone analysis and Gamma convergence results, both when the limiting local Cahn–Hilliard equation is of viscous type and of pure type.

Abstract In this paper, the blow-up analyses in nonlocal reaction diffusion equations with time-dependent coefficients are investigated under Neumann boundary conditions. By constructing some suitable auxiliary functions and using differential inequality techniques, we show some sufficient conditions to ensure that the solution u ( x , t ) u(x,t) blows up at a finite time under appropriate measure sense. Furthermore, an upper and a lower bound on blow-up time are derived under some appropriate assumptions. At last, two examples are presented to illustrate the application of our main results.

AbstractThis paper deals with non-self-adjoint differential operators with two constant delays generated by {-y^{\prime\prime}+q_{1}(x)y(x-\tau_{1})+(-1)^{i}q_{2}(x)y(x-\tau_{2})}, where {\frac{\pi}{3}\leq\tau_{2}<\frac{\pi}{2}<2\tau_{2}\leq\tau_{1}<\pi} and potentials {q_{j}} are real-valued functions, {q_{j}\in L^{2}[0,\pi]}. We will prove that the delays and the potentials are uniquely determined from the spectra of four boundary value problems: two of them under boundary conditions {y(0)=y(\pi)=0} and the remaining two under boundary conditions {y(0)=y^{\prime}(\pi)=0}.

This paper is concerned with the numerical solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with Neumann boundary conditions by quintic B-spline Galerkin finite element method as the shape and weight functions over the finite domain. The Galerkin B-spline method is more efficient and simpler than the general Galerkin finite element method. For the Galerkin B-spline method, the Crank Nicolson and finite difference schemes are applied for nodal parameters and for time integration. Two numerical problems are discussed to demonstrate the accuracy and feasibility of the proposed method. The error norms L 2 , L ∞ and conservation laws I 1 ,   I 2 are calculated to check the accuracy and feasibility of the method. The results of the scheme are compared with previously obtained approximate solutions and are found to be in good agreement.

In this article we consider a critical thermodynamic system with the shape of a thin film confined between two parallel planes. It is assumed that the state of the system at a given temperature and external ordering field is described by order-parameter profiles, which minimize the one-dimensional counterpart of the standard ϕ4 Ginzburg–Landau Hamiltonian and meet the so-called Neumann – Neumann boundary conditions. We give analytic representation of the extremals of this variational problem in terms ofWeierstrass elliptic functions. Then, depending on the temperature and ordering field we determine the minimizers and obtain the phase diagram in the temperature-field plane.

SynopsisThe semilinear damped wave equationssubject to homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, admit spatially homogeneous solutions (i.e. u(x, t) = u(t)). In order that every solution tends to a spatially homogeneous one, we look for conditions on the coefficients a and d, and on the Lipschitz constant of f with respect to u.
