Local and global solutions for a parabolic nonlocal problem (original) (raw)
A nonlinear parabolic equation with a nonlocal boundary term
Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2010
A nonlinear parabolic problem with a nonlocal boundary condition is studied. We prove the existence of a solution for a monotonically increasing and Lipschitz continuous nonlinearity. The approximation method is based on Rothe's method. The solution on each time step is obtained by iterations, convergence of which is shown using a fixed-point argument. The space discretization relies on FEM. Theoretical results are supported by numerical experiments.
On a class of parabolic equations with nonlocal boundary conditions
Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2004
In this paper we study a class of parabolic equations subject to a nonlocal boundary condition. The problem is a generalized model for a theory of ion-diffusion in channels. By using energy method, we first derive some a priori estimates for solutions and then prove that the problem has a unique global solution. Moreover, under some assumptions on the nonlinear boundary condition, it is shown that the solution blows up in finite time. Finally, the long-time behavior of solution to a linear problem is also studied in the paper.

We establish existence and uniqueness of solutions for a general class of nonlocal nonlinear evolution equations. An application of this theory to a class of nonlinear reaction-diffusion problems that arise in population dynamics is presented. Furthermore, conditions on the initial population density for this class of problems that result in finite time extinction or persistence of the population is discussed. Numerical evidence corroborating our theoretical results is given.
Investigation of the nonlocal initial boundary value problems for some hyperbolic equations
Hiroshima Mathematical Journal, 2001
In the present article we are interested in the analysis of nonlocal initial boundary value problems for some medium oscillation equations. More precisely, we investigate di¤erent types of nonlocal problems for one-dimensional oscillation equations and prove existence and uniqueness theorems. In some cases algorithms for direct construction of the solution are given. We also consider nonlocal problem for multidimensional hyperbolic equation and prove the uniqueness theorem for the formulated initial boundary value problem applying the theory of characteristics under rather general assumptions.
