We consider the one-dimensional and two-dimensional filtration-absorption equation ut = uΔu−(c−1)(∇u)2. The one-dimensional case was considered previously by Barenblatt et al. [4], where a special class of self-similar solutions was introduced. By the analogy with the 1D case we construct a family of axisymmetric solutions in 2D. We demonstrate numerically that the self-similar solutions obtained attract the solutions of non-self-similar Cauchy problems having the initial condition of compact support. The main analytical result we provide is the linear stability of the above self-similar solutions both in the 1D case and in the 2D case.

The process of expansion into a vacuum of a collisionless plasma bunch with relativistic electron temperature is investigated for the one-dimensional case. Self-similar solutions for the evolution of the electron distribution function and ion acceleration are obtained, taking account of cooling of the electron component of plasma for the cases of non-relativistic and ultrarelativistic electron energies.

The main result of this paper is a non-uniqueness theorem for the self-similar solutions of a model for phase transitions in binary alloys. The reason for this non-uniqueness is the discontinuity in the coefficients of heat conduction and diffusion at the inter-phase. Also the existence of a self-similar solution and the stability criterion are discussed.

In this work the mathematical model is constructed and the features of the injection of warm carbon dioxide (with the temperature higher than the initial reservoir temperature) into the porous reservoir initially saturated with methane gas and water are investigated. Self-similar solutions of the one-dimensional problem describing the distributions of the main parameters in the reservoir are constructed. The effect of the parameters of the injected carbon dioxide and the reservoir on the intensity of the CO2 hydrate formation is analyzed

We study the existence and the asymptotic behavior of global solutions of the damped wave equation [Formula: see text] where a ∈ ℝ, α >1, t > 0, x ∈ ℝn, n = 1,2,3, with initial condition (u (0), ut (0)) = (φ,ψ). For α > 2 and α > 1+2 / n, we prove the existence of mild global solutions for small initial data with low regularity and which are not in L1(ℝn). Under the additional hypothesis, (2 < α < 5, when n = 3), we prove that some of these solutions are asymptotic to the self-similar solutions of the associated semi-linear heat equation [Formula: see text] with homogeneous slowly decreasing initial data behaving like c|x|-2 / (α-1) as |x|→ ∞.

In this paper, we have studied the impact created by the introduction of up to 5% dust particles in enhancing the decay of blast waves produced by a nuclear explosion. A mathematical model is designed and modified using appropriate assumptions, the most important being treating a nuclear explosion as a point source of energy. A system of partial differential equations describing the one-dimensional, adiabatic, unsteady flow of a relaxing gas with dust particles and radiation effects is considered. The symmetric nature of an explosion is captured using the Lie group invariance and self-similar solutions obtained for the gas undergoing strong shocks. The enhancements in decay caused by varying the quantity of dust are studied. The energy released and the damage radius are found to decrease with time with an increase in the dust parameters.

In a recent paper, Balescu (1980) criticizes the self-similar solution in the problem of anomalous plasma resistivity (Vekstein, Ryutov & Sagdeev 1970) and comes to the conclusion that this solution is not correct. The aim of this comment is to show why Balescu's arguments are erroneous.We consider here the simplest case of the one-dimensional collisionless plasma in the presence of an external electric field.

Using finite group theory, self-similar solutions for the one-dimensional Vlasov– Poisson system are considered, both for electron plasmas, with a fixed ion background, and for a single species beam. Difficulties arising from the Poisson equation are pointed out and handled by using an exponential group of transformations. Introducing, for the beam, a water-bag model, we find that the boundary condition problem, imposed by self-similarity, can be solved through the introduction of a ‘virtual particle’ concept. In order to test the analytical solution obtained, we perform a numerical simulation using a particle code. Complete agreement is found.

AbstractTo deal with permanent deformations and residual stresses, we consider a morphoelastic model for the scar formation as the result of wound healing after a skin trauma. Next to the mechanical components such as strain and displacements, the model accounts for biological constituents such as the concentration of signaling molecules, the cellular densities of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, and the density of collagen. Here we present stability constraints for the one-dimensional counterpart of this morphoelastic model, for both the continuous and (semi-) discrete problem. We show that the truncation error between these eigenvalues associated with the continuous and semi-discrete problem is of order $${{\mathcal {O}}}(h^2)$$ O ( h 2 ) . Next we perform numerical validation to these constraints and provide a biological interpretation of the (in)stability. For the mechanical part of the model, the results show the components reach equilibria in a (non) monotonic way, depending on the value of the viscosity. The results show that the parameters of the chemical part of the model need to meet the stability constraint, depending on the decay rate of the signaling molecules, to avoid unrealistic results.
