For solution $u(x,t)$ to degenearte parabolic equations in a bounded domain $\Omega$ with homogenous boundary condition, we consider backward problems in time: determine $u(\cdot,t_0)$ in $\Omega$ by $u(\cdot,T)$, where $t$ is the time…

We consider backward problems for semilinear coupled parabolic systems in bounded domains. We prove conditional stability estimates for linear and semilinear systems of strongly coupled parabolic equations involving general semilinearities.…

We make a critical reappraisal of `unbounded-from-below' (UFB) constraints in the MSSM and R-parity violating models. We explain why the `traditional' UFB bounds are neither necessary nor sufficient and propose, instead, a sufficient…

We study boundary regularity for the normalized $p\mspace{1mu}$-parabolic equation in arbitrary bounded domains. Effros and Kazdan (Indiana Univ. Math. J. 20 (1970), 683-693) showed that the so-called tusk condition guarantees regularity…

In this paper, we continue the study of some controllability issues for the forward stochastic parabolic equation with dynamic boundary conditions. The main novelty in the present paper consists of considering only one control without extra…

This work concentrates on a class of optimal control problems for semilinear parabolic equations subject to control constraint of the form $\|u(t)\|_{L^1(\Omega)} \le \gamma$ for $t \in (0,T)$. This limits the total control that can be…

The parabolic problem $u_t-\Delta u=\frac{\lambda f(x)}{(1-u)^2}+P$ on a bounded domain $\Omega$ of $R^n$ with Dirichlet boundary condition models the microelectromechanical systems(MEMS) device with an external pressure term. In this…

The null controllability of the heat equation is known for decades [19,23,30]. The finite time stabilizability of the one dimensional heat equation was proved by Coron--Nguy\^en [13], while the same question for high dimensional spaces…

This paper is concerned with the null controllability for linear backward stochastic parabolic equations with dynamic boundary conditions and convection terms. Using the classical duality argument, the null controllability is obtained via…

Constraint tightening to non-conservatively guarantee recursive feasibility and stability in Stochastic Model Predictive Control is addressed. Stability and feasibility requirements are considered separately, highlighting the difference…

We provide several characterizations of convergence to unstable equilibria in nonlinear systems. Our current contribution is three-fold. First we present simple algebraic conditions for establishing local convergence of non-trivial…

Einstein's system of equations in the ADM decomposition involves two subsystems of equations: evolution equations and constraint equations. For numerical relativity, one typically solves the constraint equations only on the initial time…

We consider the $F$-equivalence problem for parabolic systems: under which conditions a control system, governed by a parabolic operator $A$ and a control operator $B$, can be made equivalent to an exponentially stable system with…

We prove continuous dependence on initial data for a backward parabolic operator whose leading coefficients are Osgodd continuous in time. This result fills the gap between uniqueness and continuity results obtained so far.

In the research community, there exists the strong belief that a continuous Galerkin scheme is notoriously unstable and additional stabilization terms have to be added to guarantee stability. In the first part of the series [6], the…

Stabilization of a coupled system consisting of a parabolic partial differential equation and an elliptic partial differential equation is considered. Even in the situation when the parabolic equation is exponentially stable on its own, the…

In this paper, we study the backward problem of determining initial condition for some class of nonlinear parabolic equations in multidimensional domain where data are given under random noise. This problem is ill-posed, i.e., the solution…

We develop a parabolic inf-sup theory for a modified TraceFEM semi-discretization in space of the heat equation posed on a stationary surface embedded in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We consider the normal derivative volume stabilization and add an…

We provide very mild sufficient conditions for space-time domains (non-necessarily cylindrical) which ensure that the continuous Dirichlet problem and the H\"older Dirichlet problem are well-posed, for any parabolic operator in divergence…

In this paper we study the inefficiency ratio of stable equilibria in load balancing games introduced by Asadpour and Saberi [3]. We prove tighter lower and upper bounds of 7/6 and 4/3, respectively. This improves over the best known bounds…
