On Nonhomogeneous Boundary Value Problems for the Stationary Navier--Stokes Equations in 2D Symmetric Semi-Infinite Outlets

We study the stationary nonhomogeneous Navier--Stokes problem in a two dimensional symmetric domain with a semi-infinite outlet (for instance, either parabo-\\loidal or channel-like). Under the symmetry assumptions on the domain, boundary value and external force we prove the existence of at least one weak symmetric solution without any restriction on the size of the fluxes, i.e. the fluxes of the boundary value ${\bf a}$ over the inner and the outer boundaries may be arbitrarily large. Only the necessary compatibility condition (the total flux is equal to zero) has to be satisfied. Moreover, the Dirichlet integral of the solution can be finite or infinite depending on the geometry of the domain.

Contraction in $L^1$ and large time behavior for a system arising in chemical reactions and molecular motors

We prove a contraction in $L^1$ property for the solutions of a nonlinear reaction--diffusion system whose special cases include intercellular transport as well as reversible chemical reactions. Assuming the existence of stationary solutions we show that the solutions stabilize as $t$ tends to infinity. Moreover, in the special case of linear reaction terms, we prove the existence and the uniqueness (up to a multiplicative constant) of the stationary solution.
