In our work we study non-variational, nonlinear singularly perturbed elliptic models enjoying a double degeneracy character with prescribed boundary value in a domain. In such a scenario, we establish the existence of solutions. We also prove that solutions are locally (uniformly) Lipschitz continuous, and they grow in a linear fashion. Moreover, solutions and their free boundaries possess a sort of measure-theoretic and weak geometric properties. Moreover, for a restricted class of non-linearities, we prove the finiteness of the (N-1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure of level sets. We also address a complete analysis concerning the asymptotic limit as the singular parameter, which is related to one-phase solutions of inhomogeneous nonlinear free boundary problems in flame propagation and combustion theory.
Given a symmetric Riemannian manifold (M, g), we show some results of genericity for non degenerate sign changing solutions of singularly perturbed nonlinear elliptic problems with respect to the parameters: the positive number {epsilon} and the symmetric metric g. Using these results we obtain a lower bound on the number of non degenerate solutions which change sign exactly once.
An averaging method is applied to derive effective approximation to the following singularly perturbed nonlinear stochastic damped wave equation u u_{tt}+u_t=D u+f(u)+ u^alphadot{W} on an open bounded domain $DsubsetR^n$,, $1leq nleq 3$,. Here $ u>0$ is a small parameter characterising the singular perturbation, and $ u^alpha$,, $0leq alphaleq 1/2$,, parametrises the strength of the noise. Some scaling transformations and the martingale representation theorem yield the following effective approximation for small $ u$, u_t=D u+f(u)+ u^alphadot{W} to an error of $ord{ u^alpha}$,.
We explore the relation between fast waves, damping and imposed noise for different scalings by considering the singularly perturbed stochastic nonlinear wave equations u u_{tt}+u_t=D u+f(u)+ u^alphadot{W} on a bounded spatial domain. An asymptotic approximation to the stochastic wave equation is constructed by a special transformation and splitting of $ u u_{t}$. This splitting gives a clear description of the structure of $u$. The approximating model, for small $ u>0$,, is a stochastic nonlinear heat equation for exponent $0leqalpha<1$,, and is a deterministic nonlinear wave equation for exponent $alpha>1$,.
We consider singularly perturbed convection-diffusion equations on one-dimensional networks (metric graphs) as well as the transport problems arising in the vanishing diffusion limit. Suitable coupling condition at inner vertices are derived that guarantee conservation of mass as well as dissipation of a mathematical energy which allows us to prove stability and well-posedness. For single intervals and appropriately specified initial conditions, it is well-known that the solutions of the convection-diffusion problem converge to that of the transport problem with order $O(sqrt{epsilon})$ in the $L^infty(L^2)$-norm with diffusion $epsilon to 0$. In this paper, we prove a corresponding result for problems on one-dimensional networks. The main difficulty in the analysis is that the number and type of coupling conditions changes in the singular limit which gives rise to additional boundary layers at the interior vertices of the network. Since the values of the solution at these network junctions are not known a-priori, the asymptotic analysis requires a delicate choice of boundary layer functions that allows to handle these interior layers.
We consider smooth systems limiting as $epsilon to 0$ to piecewise-smooth (PWS) systems with a boundary-focus (BF) bifurcation. After deriving a suitable local normal form, we study the dynamics for the smooth system with $0 < epsilon ll 1$ using a combination of geometric singular perturbation theory and blow-up. We show that the type of BF bifurcation in the PWS system determines the bifurcation structure for the smooth system within an $epsilon-$dependent domain which shrinks to zero as $epsilon to 0$, identifying a supercritical Andronov-Hopf bifurcation in one case, and a supercritical Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation in two other cases. We also show that PWS cycles associated with BF bifurcations persist as relaxation cycles in the smooth system, and prove existence of a family of stable limit cycles which connects the relaxation cycles to regular cycles within the $epsilon-$dependent domain described above. Our results are applied to models for Gause predator-prey interaction and mechanical oscillation subject to friction.
