We study differential equations that model contaminant flow in a semi-infinite, fractured, porous medium consisting of a single fracture channel bounded by a porous matrix. Models in the literature usually do not incorporate diffusion in the porous matrix in the direction parallel to the fracture, and therefore they must omit a no-flux boundary condition at the edge, which, in some problems, may be unphysical. Herein we show that the problem usually treated in the literature is the outer problem for a correctly posed singular perturbation problem which includes diffusion in both directions as well as the no-flux boundary condition.

Abstract Mathematical modeling of phase change process in porous media can help ensure the efficient design and operation of thermal energy storage and pipe freezing. Numerical methods generally require high computational power to be applicable in practice. Therefore, it is of great interest to develop accurate and reliable analytical frameworks. This study proposes a singular perturbation solution for a two-phase Stefan problem that describes outward solidification in a finite annular space. The problem solves cylindrical heat conduction equations for both solid and liquid phases, with consideration of a moving boundary condition. Perturbation method takes the advantages of small Stefan number as the perturbation parameter, which intrinsically occurs in porous media. Furthermore, a boundary-fixing technique is used to remove nonlinearity in the moving boundary condition. Two different time scales are separately expanded and evaluated to facilitate the construction of a composite asymptotic solution. The analytical solution is verified against a general numerical model using enthalpy method and local volume-averaged thermal properties. The results indicate that the temperature profile of both phases can be well modeled by singular perturbation theory. The analytical solution is found to have similar conclusions to the numerical analysis with much lesser computational cost.

We study the nonlinear elliptic equation Δu(x) + a(x)u(x) = g(x)f(u(x)) on the Sierpinski gasket and with zero Dirichlet boundary condition. By extending a method introduced by Faraci and Kristály in the framework of Sobolev spaces to the case of function spaces on fractal domains, we establish the existence of infinitely many weak solutions.

The paper presents the investigation of an eigenvalue problem for the Laplace operator with Robin boundary condition in a bounded domain with smooth boundary. The case of boundary condition containing a real parameter is con- sidered. It is proved that multiplicity of the eigenvalue to the Robin problem for all values of the parameter greater than some number does not exceed the mul- tiplicity of the corresponding eigenvalue to the Dirichlet problem for the Laplace operator. For simple eigenvalue of the Dirichlet problem the convergence of eigen- function of the Robin problem to the eigenfunction of the Dirichlet problem for unlimited increase of the parameter is proved. The formula for derivative on the parameter for eigenvalues of the Robin problem is established. This formula is used to justify the asymptotic expansions of eigenvalues of the Robin problem for large positive values of the parameter.

AbstractThe Poisson integral of a Denjoy-Perron integrable function defined on the boundary of an open disc is harmonic in this disc. Moreover, almost everywhere on the boundary, the nontangential limits of the integral coincide with the boundary condition. This extends the classical result for Lebesgue integrable boundary conditions. By means of conformai maps, a generalization to domains bounded by a sufficiently smooth Jordan curve is also obtained.

AbstractIn this paper the existence of infinitely many solutions for a class of Kirchhoff-type problems involving the p-Laplacian, with p > 1, is established. By using variational methods, we determine unbounded real intervals of parameters such that the problems treated admit either an unbounded sequence of weak solutions, provided that the nonlinearity has a suitable behaviour at ∞, or a pairwise distinct sequence of weak solutions that strongly converges to 0 if a similar behaviour occurs at 0. Some comparisons with several results in the literature are pointed out. The last part of the work is devoted to the autonomous elliptic Dirichlet problem.
