Recently, the problem of boundary stabilization for unstable linear constant-coefficient reaction-diffusion equation on N-balls has been solved by means of the backstepping method. However, the extension of this result to spatially-varying…
We study existence and regularity of weak solutions to a nonlinear parabolic Dirichlet problem $\partial_{t}u - \rho_{\lambda}(x)u\Delta u = \rho_{\lambda}(x)g_{0}(x)u$ on the half line $(0,\infty)$. We find weak solutions from $L^p\ (p <…
We study nonlinear matter models compatible with radiative Robinson--Trautman spacetimes and analyze their stability and well-posedness. The results lead us to formulate a conjecture relating the (in)stability and well/ill-posedness to the…
Roll solutions at the zigzag boundary, typically selected by patterns and defects in numerical simulations, are shown to be nonlinearly stable. This result also serves as an example that linear decay weaker than the classical diffusive…
