Let $\Omega$ be a two-dimensional heat conduction body. We consider the problem of determining the heat source $F(x,t)=\varphi(t)f(x,y)$ with $\varphi$ be given inexactly and $f$ be unknown. The problem is nonlinear and ill-posed. By a…

I analyse the transport of particles of arbitrary statistics (Bose, Fermi and fractional exclusion statistics) through one-dimensional (1D) channels. Observing that the particle, energy, entropy and heat fluxes through the 1D channel are…

We study in what sense one can determine the function $k=k(x)$ in the scalar hyperbolic conservation law $u_t+(k(x)f(u))_x=0$ by observing the solution $u(t,\dott)$ of the Cauchy problem with initial data $u|_{t=0}=u_o$.

This paper is a companion to a series of papers devoted to the study of the spectral distribution of the free Jacobi process associated with a single projection. Actually, we notice that the flow solves a radial L\"owner equation and as…

Consider the equation $-s^2\Delta u_s+q(x)u_s=f(u_s)$ in $\R^3$, $|u(\infty)|<\infty$, $s=const>0$. Under what assumptions on $q(x)$ and $f(u)$ can one prove that the solution $u_s$ exists and $\lim_{s\to 0} u_s=u(x)$, where $u(x)$ solves…

It is shown that the steady unidirectional flow with vanishing heat flux considered by B. C. Eu [Phys. Rev. E 65, 031202 (2002)], and earlier by Uribe and Garcia--Colin [Phys. Rev. E 60, 4052 (1999)], is inconsistent with the exact…

Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and denote the regular part of the Green's function on $\Omega$ with Dirichlet boundary condition as $H(x,y)$. Assume that $q \in \Omega$ and $n\geq 5$. We prove that there exists an…

This paper is concerned with the forward and inverse problems for the fractional semilinear elliptic equation $(-\Delta)^s u +a(x,u)=0$ for $0<s<1$. For the forward problem, we proved the problem is well-posed and has a unique solution for…

Long time dynamics of solutions to the 6D energy critical heat equation $u_t=\Delta u+|u|^{p-1}u$ on $\R^6\times(0,\infty)$ is investigated. It is shown that there exists a radially symmetric global solution $u(x,t)\in C([0,\infty);\dot…
