Multidimensional computational models of gas combustion in heterogeneous porous medium

The processes of filtration gas combustion in heterogeneous porous medium is studying. The presence of two opposite modes of front propagation made it possible to stabilize the combustion front in a composite porous medium with piecewise constant porosity. A feature of this study is the presentation of the original model not in the traditional form of a system of parabolic equations, but in the form of integral conservation laws in terms of the temperature of the porous medium, the total gas enthalpy, and the mass of gas mixture, and the fluxes corresponding to these functions.

Minimal time control of exact synchronization for parabolic systems

This paper studies a kind of minimal time control problems related to the exact synchronization for a controlled linear system of parabolic equations. Each problem depends on two parameters: the bound of controls and the initial state. The purpose of such a problem is to find a control (from a constraint set) synchronizing components of the corresponding solution vector for the controlled system in the shortest time. In this paper, we build up a necessary and sufficient condition for the optimal time and the optimal control; we also obtain how the existence of optimal controls depends on the above mentioned two parameters.
