Regularity, uniqueness and qualitative behaviour of degenerate parabolic equations of fourth order

Objective



In recent years degenerate parabolic equations of fourth order became important for modelling diffusion processes in Physics and Material Sciences. For example, the spreading of viscous droplets on plain surfaces, the phase separation of binary mixtures and the formation of dislocation patterns during plastic deformation are described by equations the archetypus of which is
Ut + div(|u|n (triangle, triangle) u) = 0.
In one space dimension, Bertsch et al. (BBP, '94) got results concerning regularity, non-uniqueness and qualitative behaviour of solutions. In (G. '94), first results concerning existence and non-negativity in higher space dimensions could be obtained. The objectifives of the project are as follows:
? Optimal results about positivity and evolution of the solution's support in higher space dimensions
? L (infinity)- and C (alpha)- estimates in higher space dimensions ? Formulation of conditions at the free boundary which guarantee uniqueness of solutions

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
