Evolution of Interfaces for the Nonlinear Double Degenerate Parabolic Equation of Turbulent Filtration with Absorption. II. Fast Diffusion Case

We prove the short-time asymptotic formula for the interfaces and local solutions near the interfaces for the nonlinear double degenerate reaction-diffusion equation of turbulent filtration with fast diffusion and strong absorption \[ u_t=(|(u^{m})_x|^{p-1}(u^{m})_x)_x-bu^β, \, 0 0. \] Full classification is pursued in terms of the nonlinearity parameters $m, p,β$ and asymptotics of the initial function near its support. In the case of an infinite speed of propagation of the interface, the asymptotic behavior of the local solution is classified at infinity. A full classification of the short-time behavior of the interface function and the local solution near the interface for the slow diffusion case ($mp>1$) was presented in $\textit{Abdulla et al., Math. Comput. Simul., 153(2018), 59-82}$.

Pinning and Depinning: from periodic to chaotic and random media

We study propagation of dissipative structures in inhomogeneous media with a focus on pinning and depinning transitions. We model spatial complexity in the medium as generated by dynamical systems. We are thus able to capture transitions from periodic to quasiperiodic, to homoclinic and heteroclinic, and to chaotic media. Depinning bifurcations exhibit universal laws depending on extreme value statistics that are encoded in the dimension of ergodic measures, only. A key condition limiting this approach bounds spatial Lyapunov exponents in terms of interface localization and we explore the breakdown of smoothness and universality when this condition is violated and fluctuations in the medium occur on length scales shorter than a typical interface width.
