scholarly journals Initiation of thermal explosion by intense light: criticality dependence on data and parameters

AbstractA model for thermal ignition by intense light is studied. The governing non-linear parabolic equation is linearized in a two-step manner with the aid of a non-linear ordinary differential equation which captures the salient features of the non-linear parabolic equation. The critical parameters are computed from the steady-state solution of the ordinary differential equation, which can be obtained without actually solving the equation. Comparison with available data shows that the present method yields good results.

Nagumo's equation is a third order non-linear ordinary differential equation d3udx3−cd2udx2+f′(u)dudx−(b/c)u=0 where f(u)=u(1−u)(u−α) , 0<α<1 . In this paper we have developed a technique to determine those values of the parameters a,b and c which permit non-constant bounded solutions.

In this paper, we consider a reaction infiltration problem consisting of a parabolic equation for the concentration, an elliptic equation for the pressure, and an ordinary differential equation for the porosity. Existence and uniqueness of a global classical solution is proved for bounded domains Ω⊂RN, under suitable boundary conditions.

AbstractIn this work, the solvability of a generally nonlocal problem is investigated for a third order linear ordinary differential equation with variable principal coefficient. A novel adjoint problem and Green’s functional are constructed for a completely nonhomogeneous problem. Several illustrative applications for the theoretical results are provided.
