    Blow-up phenomena for a system of semilinear parabolic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions

    , Article Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences ; Volume 38, Issue 3 , 2015 , Pages 527-536 ; 01704214 (ISSN) Baghaei, K ; Hesaaraki, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    This paper deals with the blow-up phenomena for a system of parabolic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions. We show that under some conditions on the nonlinearities, blow-up occurs at some finite time. We also obtain upper and lower bounds for the blow-up time when blow-up occurs. Copyright  

    Control of Heat Equations

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Salimi, Leila (Author) ; Fotouhi Firouzabad, Morteza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The controllability problem may be formulated roughly as follows. Consider an evolution system (either described in terms of partial or ordinary differential equations) on which we are allowed to act by means of a suitable choice of the control (the right-hand side of the system, the boundary conditions, etc.). Given a time interval 0 < t < T, and initial and final states, the goal is to determine whether there exists a control driving the given initial data to the given final ones in time T. Now, consider the simplest parabolic equation, namely heat equation and suppose that one could act by appropraite controls on this system. The null controllability problem which is one of the very... 

    Null controllability of degenerate/singular parabolic equations

    , Article Journal of Dynamical and Control Systems ; Volume 18, Issue 4 , 2012 , Pages 573-602 ; 10792724 (ISSN) Fotouhi, M ; Salimi, L ; Sharif University of Technology
    Springer  2012
    Abstract
    The purpose of this paper is to provide a full analysis of the null controllability problem for the one dimensional degenerate/singular parabolic equation ut - (a(x)ux)x - λ/x βu = 0, (t,x) ∈ (0, T) × (0,1), where the diffusion coefficient a(·) is degenerate at x = 0. Also the boundary conditions are considered to be Dirichlet or Neumann type related to the degeneracy rate of a(·). Under some conditions on the function a(·) and parameters β, λ, we prove global Carleman estimates. The proof is based on an improved Hardy-type inequality

    Wind and Turbulence Effects on Long-range Sound Propagation in Troposphere Layer

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Karimpour, Zahra (Author) ; Taeibi-rahni, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Massah, Hamid Reza (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    Considering atmospheric wave propagation as a complex phenomenon, it can be represented as a function of variety of parameters such as: properties of atmosphere, boundary conditions, surface characteristics, source related parameters and etc. the aim of this work is to study the propagation of sound mechanisms in troposphere layer and numerical simulation of sound field in order to investigate the wind effect and turbulence in wave propagation. In this manner, the Green’s function parabolic equation (GFPE) is hired to solve the governing equation for sound propagation in a moving inhomogeneous atmosphere. To achieve this, a code is generated using MATLAB software to predict the long range... 

    A Probabilistic Numerical Method for Fully Non-Linear Parabilic PDEs

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology FAHIM, Arash (Author) ; Touzi, Neyzar (Supervisor) ; Zohuri Zangeneh, Bijan (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    e solution for fully non-linear equations do not exists in general and for this reason the notion of viscosity solutions has been defined in this context. In this dissertation, a Monte carlo method is introduced for parabolic fully non-linear together with its asymptotics. In the proof of convergence, the method of [6] is used. en the rate of convergence from both sides is introduced: Finally, the error due to estimation of conditional expectation is derived for the estimation whose error is known with respect to sample size  

    Existence of Global Solution for Two Models of Cancer Invasion

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Torabi, Mousa (Author) ; Hesaaraki, Mahmoud (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this thesis we investigating two models of cancer invasion .First, a general mathematical model of cancer invasion is presented. In this model there are three factors: tumor cell, extracellular matrix and enzyme. The model consists of a parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) describing the evolution of tumor cell density , an ordinary differential equation modeling of extracellular matrix and a parabolic PDE governing the evolution of the matrix degrading enzyme concentration. This model is investigated in two special versions for existence and uniqueness of global solutions. In the first model we neglect the remodeling term, this model is named the chemotaxis-haptotaxis model.... 

    Regularity of the Free Boundary in Semilinear Problems

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Ghaffarinia, Omid (Author) ; Fotouhi Firouzabad, Morteza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    There are some situations where we would like to solve a partial differential equation (PDE) in a domain whose boundary is not known a priori; such a problem is called free boundary problem and the boundary is called free boundary. For this kind of problems, aside from standard boundary conditions, an extra condition is imposed at the free boundary and the goal would be finding the free boundary in addition to finding a solution for PDE. One of the classical examples of free boundary problems is the Stefan problem (melting of ice) in which ice and water temperatures are determined from the heat equation and we would be interested in finding the boundary between ice and water. Another famous...

    Strong Convergence of the Finite Element Method for Stochastic Partial Differential Equations with Additive Noise

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Aghaei, Mohammad Reza (Author) ; Zohuri Zangeneh, Bijan (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    We study linear and semilinear stochastic evolution partial differential equations driven by additive noise. We present a general and flexible framework for representing the infinite dimensional Wiener process, which drives the equation. The equation is discretized in space by a standard piecewise linear finite element method. We show how to obtain error estimates when the truncated expansion is used in the equation. We show that the orthogonal expansion of the finite-dimensional Wiener process, that appears in the discretized problem, can be truncated severely without losing theasymptotic order of the method, provided that the kernel of the covariance operator of the Wiener process is... 

    Singular PDEs with Irregular Data

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Bayrami Aminlouee, Masoud (Author) ; Hesaaraki, Mahmoud (Supervisor) ; Fotouhi Firoozabad, Morteza (Co-Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Singular differential equations have a wide range of applications. Hardy singularities, which are connected to inequalities of the same name and have various extensions, are the most well-known singularities. The application of Hardy inequalities in quantum physics and also in the linearization of reaction-diffusion equations in thermodynamics and combustion theory motivates researchers to examine them. Singularities on a domain's boundary are another well-known type of singularity. In the study of fluid mechanics and pseudoplastic flows, these singularities emerge.Differential equations with coefficients or functions that are simply functions belonging to $ L^1 $, or bounded Radon measures,...
