AbstractWe prove the existence of non-negative martingale solutions to a class of stochastic degenerate-parabolic fourth-order PDEs arising in surface-tension driven thin-film flow influenced by thermal noise. The construction applies to a range of mobilites including the cubic one which occurs under the assumption of a no-slip condition at the liquid-solid interface. Since their introduction more than 15 years ago, by Davidovitch, Moro, and Stone and by Grün, Mecke, and Rauscher, the existence of solutions to stochastic thin-film equations for cubic mobilities has been an open problem, even in the case of sufficiently regular noise. Our proof of global-in-time solutions relies on a careful combination of entropy and energy estimates in conjunction with a tailor-made approximation procedure to control the formation of shocks caused by the nonlinear stochastic scalar conservation law structure of the noise.

AbstractWe study the existence of weak solutions to a Newtonian fluid∼non-Newtonian fluid mixed-type equation $$ {u_{t}}= \operatorname{div} \bigl(b(x,t){ \bigl\vert {\nabla A(u)} \bigr\vert ^{p(x) - 2}}\nabla A(u)+\alpha (x,t)\nabla A(u) \bigr)+f(u,x,t). $$ u t = div ( b ( x , t ) | ∇ A ( u ) | p ( x ) − 2 ∇ A ( u ) + α ( x , t ) ∇ A ( u ) ) + f ( u , x , t ) . We assume that $A'(s)=a(s)\geq 0$ A ′ ( s ) = a ( s ) ≥ 0 , $A(s)$ A ( s ) is a strictly increasing function, $A(0)=0$ A ( 0 ) = 0 , $b(x,t)\geq 0$ b ( x , t ) ≥ 0 , and $\alpha (x,t)\geq 0$ α ( x , t ) ≥ 0 . If $$ b(x,t)=\alpha (x,t)=0,\quad (x,t)\in \partial \Omega \times [0,T], $$ b ( x , t ) = α ( x , t ) = 0 , ( x , t ) ∈ ∂ Ω × [ 0 , T ] , then we prove the stability of weak solutions without the boundary value condition.

SynopsisIn this paper we prove a certain monotonicity in time of non-negative classical solutions of the Cauchy problem for the quasilinear uniformly parabolic equation u1 = (ϕ(u))xx + Q(u) in wT = (0, T] × R1 with bounded sufficiently smooth initial function u(0, x) = uo(x)≧0 in Rl. We assume that ϕ(u) and Q(u) are smooth functions in [0, +∞) and ϕ′(u) >0, Q(u) > 0 for u > 0. Under some additional hypothesis on the growth of Q(u)ϕ′(u) at infinity, it is proved that if u(to, xo) becomes sufficiently large at some point (to, xo) ∈ wT, then ut(t, x0) ≧0 for all t ∈ [t0, T]. The proof is based on the method of intersection comparison of the solution with the set of the stationary solutions of the same equation. Some generalisations of this property for a quasilinear degenerate parabolic equation are discussed.
