AbstractIn this paper we establish the well-posedness of the Muskat problem with surface tension and equal viscosities in the subcritical Sobolev spaces $$W^s_p(\mathbb {R})$$ W p s ( R ) , where $${p\in (1,2]}$$ p ∈ ( 1 , 2 ] and $${s\in (1+1/p,2)}$$ s ∈ ( 1 + 1 / p , 2 ) . This is achieved by showing that the mathematical model can be formulated as a quasilinear parabolic evolution problem in $$W^{\overline{s}-2}_p(\mathbb {R})$$ W p s ¯ - 2 ( R ) , where $${\overline{s}\in (1+1/p,s)}$$ s ¯ ∈ ( 1 + 1 / p , s ) . Moreover, we prove that the solutions become instantly smooth and we provide a criterion for the global existence of solutions.

This paper is devoted to the mathematical modeling and analysis of a hyperbolic Maxwell quasi-variational inequality (QVI) for  the Bean-Kim superconductivity model with temperature and magnetic field dependence in the critical current. Emerging from the Euler time discretization, we analyze the corresponding H(curl)-elliptic QVI and prove its existence using a fixed-point argument in combination with techniques from variational inequalities and Maxwell's equations.  Based on the existence result  for the H(curl)-elliptic QVI, we examine the  stability and convergence of the Euler scheme, which serve as our fundament for the well-posedness of the governing hyperbolic Maxwell QVI.

We analyze a class of hyperbolic Maxwell variational inequalities of the second kind. By means of a local boundedness assumption on the subdifferential of the underlying nonlinearity, we prove a well-posedness result, where the main tools for the proof are the semigroup theory for Maxwell’s equations, the Yosida regularization and the subdifferential calculus. The second part of the paper focuses on a more general case omitting the local boundedness assumption. In this case, taking into account more regular initial data and test functions, we are able to prove a weaker existence result through the use of the minimal section operator associated with the Nemytskii operator of the governing subdifferential. Eventually, we transfer the developed well-posedness results to the case involving Faraday’s law, which in particular allows us to improve the regularity property of the electric field in the weak existence result.

It is well known that the resolvent equations are equivalent to the extended general mixed variational inequalities. We use this alternative equivalent formulation to study the sensitivity of the extended general mixed variational inequalities without assuming the differentiability of the given data. Since the extended general mixed variational inequalities include extended general variational inequalities, quasi (mixed) variational inequalities and complementarity problems as special cases, results obtained in this paper continue to hold for these problems. In fact, our results can be considered as a significant extension of previously known results.
