In this paper we show local (and partially global) in time existence for the Westervelt equation with several versions of nonlinear damping. This enables us to prove well-posedness with spatially varying $L_\infty$-coefficients, which…
We investigate the Westervelt equation with several versions of nonlinear damping and lower order damping terms and Neumann as well as absorbing boundary conditions. We prove local in time existence of weak solutions under the assumption…
We are interested in shape sensitivity analysis for an optimization problem arising in medical applications of high intensity focused ultrasound. The goal is to find the optimal shape of a focusing acoustic lens so that the desired acoustic…
We consider an inverse problem for a Westervelt type nonlinear wave equation with fractional damping. This equation arises in nonlinear acoustic imaging, and we show the forward problem is locally well-posed. We prove that the smooth…
We continue the development, by reduction to a first order system for the conormal gradient, of $L^2$ \textit{a priori} estimates and solvability for boundary value problems of Dirichlet, regularity, Neumann type for divergence form second…
The goal of this work is to improve focusing of high-intensity ultrasound by modifying the geometry of acoustic lenses through shape optimization. The shape optimization problem is formulated by introducing a tracking-type cost functional…
Optimal control of nonlinear acoustic waves is relevant in many medical ultrasound technologies, ranging from cancer therapy to targeted drug delivery, where it can help guide the precise deposition of acoustic energy. In this work, we…
Solutions to elliptic equations often exhibit higher regularity properties such as \emph{higher integrability}. That is, for instance, a solution $u$ to a system that a priori only satisfies $ u \in W^{1,r}$ is more regular and even in the…
We establish local-in-time and global in time well-posedness for small data, for a coupled system of nonlinear acoustic structure interactions. The model consists of the nonlinear Westervelt equation on a bounded domain with non homogeneous…
We prove well-posedness and higher-order regularity for a linear structurally damped plate equation with inhomogeneous Dirichlet--Neumann boundary conditions on the half-space and on bounded domains. To this end, we study maximal regularity…
We investigate a quasilinear system consisting of the Westervelt equation from nonlinear acoustics and Pennes bioheat equation, subject to Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. The concept of maximal regularity of type $L_p$-$L_q$ is…
We consider an undetermined coefficient inverse problem for a nonlinear partial differential equation describing high intensity ultrasound propagation as widely used in medical imaging and therapy. The usual nonlinear term in the standard…
We investigate the regularity in $L^p$ ($p>2$) of the gradient of any weak solution of a Cauchy problem with mixed Neumann-power type boundary conditions. Under suitable assumptions we prove the existence of weak solutions that satisfy…
In the first part of this series, an augmented PDE system was introduced in order to couple two nonlinear hyperbolic equations together. This formulation allowed the authors, based on Dafermos's self-similar viscosity method, to establish…
In various biomedical applications, precise focusing of nonlinear ultrasonic waves is crucial for efficiency and safety of the involved procedures. This work analyzes a class of shape optimization problems constrained by general…
We establish existence results for a class of mixed anisotropic and nonlocal $p$-Laplace equation with singular nonlinearities. We consider both constant and variable singular exponents. Our argument is based on an approximation method. To…
This paper considers the attenuated Westervelt equation in pressure formulation. The attenuation is by various models proposed in the literature and characterised by the inclusion of non-local operators that give power law damping as…
This paper considers hyperbolic wave equations with non-local in time conditions involving integrals with respect to time. It is shown that regularity of the solution can be achieved for complexified problem with integral conditions…
We investigate the Westervelt equation from nonlinear acoustics, subject to nonlinear absorbing boundary conditions of order zero, which were recently proposed by Kaltenbacher & Shevchenko. We apply the concept of maximal regularity of type…
This series of papers is devoted to the formulation and the approximation of coupling problems for nonlinear hyperbolic equations. The coupling across an interface in the physical space is formulated in term of an augmented system of…
