<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, the initial-boundary value problem for a class of fourth-order nonlinear parabolic equations modeling the epitaxial growth of thin films is studied. By means of the theory of potential wells, the global existence, asymptotic behavior and finite time blow-up of weak solutions are obtained.</p>

SynopsisIn this paper it is shown that the question of the existence of a classical solution of the first initial-boundary value problem for a non-linear parabolic equation may be reduced to the problem of the derivation of suitable a priori bounds.

An initial-boundary value problem for nonlinear parabolic equations modelling surfactant diffusions is investigated. The boundary conditions are of nonlinear adsorptive types, and the initial value has a single point jump. We study the well-posedness of the problem, the convergence of a numerical scheme, and the regularity as well as quantitative behaviour of solutions.

This paper concerns the study of the numerical approximation for the following parabolic equations with a nonlinear convection term $$\\ \left\{% \begin{array}{ll} \hbox{$u_t(x,t)=u_{xx}(x,t)-g(u(x,t))u_{x}(x,t)+f(u(x,t)),\quad 0<x<1,\; t>0$,} \\ \hbox{$u_{x}(0,t)=0, \quad u_{x}(1,t)=0,\quad t>0$,} \\ \hbox{$u(x,0)=u_{0}(x) > 0,\quad 0\leq x \leq 1$,} \\ \end{array}% \right. $$ \newline where $f:[0,+\infty)\rightarrow [0,+\infty)$ is $C^3$ convex, nondecreasing function,\\ $g:[0,+\infty)\rightarrow [0,+\infty)$ is $C^1$ convex, nondecreasing function,\newline $\displaystyle\lim_{s\rightarrow +\infty}f(s)=+\infty$, $\displaystyle\lim_{s\rightarrow +\infty}g(s)=+\infty$, $\displaystyle\lim_{s\rightarrow +\infty}\frac{f(s)}{g(s)}=+\infty$\newline and $\displaystyle\int^{+\infty}_{c}\frac{ds}{f(s)}<+\infty$ for $c>0$. We obtain some conditions under which the solution of the semidiscrete form of the above problem blows up in a finite time and estimate its semidiscrete blow-up time. We also prove that the semidiscrete blow-up time converges to the real one, when the mesh size goes to zero. Finally, we give some numerical results to illustrate ours analysis.
