    Global existence, uniqueness and stability for nonlinear dissipative systems of bulk-interface interaction
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Disser, Karoline
    We consider a general class of nonlinear parabolic systems corresponding to thermodynamically consistent gradient structure models of bulk-interface interaction. The setting includes non-smooth geometries and e.g. slow, fast and entropic diffusion processes under mass conservation. The main results are global well-posedness and exponential stability of equilibria. As a part of the proof, we show bulk-interface maximum principles and a bulk-interface Poincaré inequality. The method of proof for global existence is a simple but very versatile combination of maximal parabolic regularity of the linearization, a priori L1-bounds and a Schaefer fixed point argument. This allows us to extend the setting e.g. conditions and external forces.

    On maximal parabolic regularity for non-autonomous parabolic operators
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Disser, Karoline; Elst, A.F.M. ter; Rehberg, Joachim
    We consider linear inhomogeneous non-autonomous parabolic problems associated to sesquilinear forms, with discontinuous dependence of time. We show that for these problems, the property of maximal parabolic regularity can be extrapolated to time integrability exponents r ≠ 2. This allows us to prove maximal parabolic Lr-regularity for discontinuous non-autonomous second-order divergence form operators in very general geometric settings and to prove existence results for related quasilinear equations.

    Second order sufficient optimality conditions for parabolic optimal control problems with pointwise state constraints
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Krumbiegel, Klaus; Rehberg, Joachim
    In this paper we study optimal control problems governed by semilinear parabolic equations where the spatial dimension is two or three. Moreover, we consider pointwise constraints on the control and on the state. We formulate first order necessary and second order sufficient optimality conditions. We make use of recent results regarding elliptic regularity and apply the concept of maximal parabolic regularity to the occurring partial differential equations.
