In this paper, we describe how pluripotential methods can be applied to study weak solutions of the complex Monge–Ampère equation on compact Hermitian manifolds. We indicate the differences between Kähler and non-Kähler setting. The results include a priori estimates, existence and stability of solutions.
Abstract
Existence of non-negative weak solutions is shown for a full curvature thin-film model of a liquid thin film flowing down a vertical fibre. The proof is based on the application of a priori estimates derived for energy-entropy functionals. Long-time behaviour of these weak solutions is analysed and, under some additional constraints for the model parameters and initial values, convergence towards a travelling wave solution is obtained. Numerical studies of energy minimisers and travelling waves are presented to illustrate analytical results.
We consider the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation, which contains nonlinear dispersive effects. We prove that as the diffusion parameter tends to zero, the solutions of the dispersive equation converge to discontinuous weak solutions of the scalar conservation law. The proof relies on deriving suitable a priori estimates together with an application of the compensated compactness method in the Lp setting.
