The paper studies the initial-boundary value problem of a porous medium equation with exponent variable. How to deal with nonlinear term with the exponent variable is the main dedication of this paper. The existence of the weak solution is proved by the monotone convergent method. Moreover, according to the different boundary value conditions, the stability of weak solutions is studied. In some special cases, the stability of weak solutions can be proved without any boundary value condition.

This paper studies the initial-boundary value problem of a porous medium equation with a convection term. If the equation is degenerate on the boundary, then only a partial boundary condition is needed generally. The existence of the weak solution is proved by the monotone convergent method. Moreover, according to the different boundary value conditions, the stability of the solutions is studied. In some special cases, the stability can be proved without any boundary value condition.

The initial-boundary value problem of a porous medium equation with a variable exponent is considered. Both the diffusion coefficient ax,t and the variable exponent px,t depend on the time variable t, and this makes the partial boundary value condition not be expressed as the usual Dirichlet boundary value condition. In other words, the partial boundary value condition matching up with the equation is based on a submanifold of ∂Ω×0,T. By this innovation, the stability of weak solutions is proved.

Abstract A nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation related to the $p(x)$p(x)-Laplacian $$ {u_{t}}= \operatorname{div} \bigl({b(x)} { \bigl\vert {\nabla a(u)} \bigr\vert ^{p(x) - 2}}\nabla a(u) \bigr)+\sum _{i=1}^{N}\frac{\partial b_{i}(u)}{ \partial x_{i}}+c(x,t) -b_{0}a(u) $$ut=div(b(x)|∇a(u)|p(x)−2∇a(u))+∑i=1N∂bi(u)∂xi+c(x,t)−b0a(u) is considered in this paper, where $b(x)|_{x\in \varOmega }>0$b(x)|x∈Ω>0, $b(x)|_{x \in \partial \varOmega }=0$b(x)|x∈∂Ω=0, $a(s)\geq 0$a(s)≥0 is a strictly increasing function with $a(0)=0$a(0)=0, $c(x,t)\geq 0$c(x,t)≥0 and $b_{0}>0$b0>0. If $\int _{\varOmega }b(x)^{-\frac{1}{p ^{-}-1}}\,dx\leq c$∫Ωb(x)−1p−−1dx≤c and $\vert \sum_{i=1}^{N}b_{i}'(s) \vert \leq c a'(s)$|∑i=1Nbi′(s)|≤ca′(s), then the solutions of the initial-boundary value problem is well-posedness. When $\int _{\varOmega }b(x)^{-(p(x)-1)}\,dx<\infty $∫Ωb(x)−(p(x)−1)dx<∞, without the boundary value condition, the stability of weak solutions can be proved.

The paper considers a model for filtering a viscous incompressible fluid in a deformable porous medium. The filtration process can be described by a system consisting of mass conservation equations for liquid and solid phases, Darcy's law, rheological relation for a porous medium, and the law of conservation of balance of forces. This paper assumes that the poroelastic medium has both viscous and elastic properties. In the one-dimensional case, the transition to Lagrange variables allows us to reduce the initial system of governing equations to a system of two equations for effective pressure and porosity, respectively. The aim of the work is a numerical study of the emerging initial-boundary value problem. Paragraph 1 gives the statement of the problem and a brief review of the literature on works close to this topic. In paragraph 2, the initial system of equations is transformed, as a result of which a second-order equation for effective pressure and the first-order equation for porosity arise. Paragraph 3 proposes an algorithm to solve the initial-boundary value problem numerically. A difference scheme for the heat equation with the righthand side and a Runge–Kutta second-order approximation scheme are used for numerical implementation.

This article addresses the general problem of establishing upper bounds for the norms of the nth powers of square matrices. The focus is on upper bounds that grow only moderately (or stay constant) where n, or the order of the matrices, increases. The so-called resolvant condition, occuring in the famous Kreiss matrix theorem, is a classical tool for deriving such bounds.Recently the classical upper bounds known to be valid under Kreiss's resolvant condition have been improved. Moreover, generalizations of this resolvant condition have been considered so as to widen the range of applications. The main purpose of this article is to review and extend some of these new developments.The upper bounds for the powers of matrices discussed in this article are intimately connected with the stability analysis of numerical processes for solving initial(-boundary) value problems in ordinary and partial linear differential equations. The article highlights this connection.The article concludes with numerical illustrations in the solution of a simple initial-boundary value problem for a partial differential equation.

This paper is concerned with an initial-boundary value problem for screw pinches arisen from plasma physics. We prove the global existence of weak solutions to this physically very important problem. The main difficulties in the proof lie in the presence of 1/x-singularity in the equations at the origin and the additional nonlinear terms induced by the magnetic field. Solutions will be obtained as the limit of the approximate solutions in annular regions between two cylinders. Under certain growth assumption on the heat conductivity, we first derive a number of regularities of the approximate physical quantities in the fluid region, as well as a lot of uniform integrability in the entire spacetime domain. By virtue of these estimates we then argue in a similar manner as that in Ref. 20 to take the limit and show that the limiting functions are indeed a weak solution which satisfies the mass, momentum and magnetic field equations in the entire spacetime domain in the sense of distributions, but satisfies the energy equation only in the compact subsets of the fluid region. The analysis in this paper allows the possibility that energy is absorbed into the origin, i.e. the total energy be possibly lost in the limit as the inner radius goes to zero.
