We study the relativistic heat equation in one space dimension. We prove a local regularity result when the initial datum is locally Lipschitz in its support. We propose a numerical scheme that captures the known features of the solutions and allows for analysing further properties of their qualitative behavior.
The direct method based on the definition of conserved currents of a system of differential equations is applied to compute the space of conservation laws of the (1+1)-dimensional wave equation in the light-cone coordinates. Then Noethers theorem yie
lds the space of variational symmetries of the corresponding functional. The results are also presented for the standard space-time form of the wave equation.
We consider the quartic focusing Half Wave equation (HW) in one space dimension. We show first that that there exist traveling wave solutions with arbitrary small $H^{frac 12}(R)$ norm. This fact shows that small data scattering is not possible for (
HW) equation and that below the ground state energy there are solutions whose energy travels as a localised packet and which preserve this localisation in time. This behaviour for (HW) is in sharp contrast with classical NLS in any dimension and with fractional NLS with radial data. The second result addressed is the non existence of traveling waves moving at the speed of light. The main ingredients of the proof are commutator estimates and a careful study of spatial decay of traveling waves profile using the harmonic extension to the upper half space.
We show how the Stefan type free boundary problem with random diffusion in one space dimension can be approximated by the corresponding free boundary problem with nonlocal diffusion. The approximation problem is a slightly modified version of the non
local diffusion problem with free boundaries considered in [4,8]. The proof relies on the introduction of several auxiliary free boundary problems and constructions of delicate upper and lower solutions for these problems. As usual, the approximation is achieved by choosing the kernel function in the nonlocal diffusion term of the form $J_epsilon(x)=frac 1epsilon J(frac xepsilon)$ for small $epsilon>0$, where $J(x)$ has compact support. We also give an estimate of the error term of the approximation by some positive power of $epsilon$.
In this paper we establish an observability inequality for the heat equation with bounded potentials on the whole space. Roughly speaking, such a kind of inequality says that the total energy of solutions can be controlled by the energy localized in
a subdomain, which is equidistributed over the whole space. The proof of this inequality is mainly adapted from the parabolic frequency function method, which plays an important role in proving the unique continuation property for solutions of parabolic equations. As an immediate application, we show that the null controllability holds for the heat equation with bounded potentials on the whole space.
We discuss reachable states for the Hermite heat equation on a segment with boundary $L^2$-controls. The Hermite heat equation corresponds to the heat equation to which a quadratic potential is added. We will discuss two situations: when one endpoint
of the segment is the origin and when the segment is symmetric with respect to the origin. One of the main results is that reachable states extend to functions in a Bergman space on a square one diagonal of which is the segment under consideration, and that functions holomorphic in a neighborhood of this square are reachable.
