Abstract

This paper studies the obstacle problem for first-order scalar conservation laws driven by multiplicative noise. By adapting a barrier-substitution strategy to the kinetic formulation, we permit the reflection measure to be a general Radon measure and eliminate the usual obstacle-noise compatibility condition. We establish the existence of kinetic solutions for continuous obstacles and further derive $L^1$-contraction and uniqueness under stronger spatial regularity. Moreover, we prove a Freidlin--Wentzell large deviation principle in $L^1(0,T;L^1(\mathbb{T}^N))$. Unlike existing large-deviation arguments based on control-uniform penalization of the obstacle, we work directly with the reflected skeleton equation and retain the possibly singular Radon reflection measure throughout, while a viscous approximation provides the spatial $H^1$-regularity required for compactness before passing to the inviscid limit. Our results provide a hyperbolic counterpart to the large deviation theory for parabolic reflected SPDEs developed by Matoussi, Sabbagh, and Zhang (2021).

An entropy approach to doubly nonlinear parabolic obstacle problems

This paper studies doubly nonlinear parabolic obstacle problems. We introduce a renormalized entropy formulation in which the reaction measure is encoded by evaluating the entropy multiplier at the obstacle. For diffusion depending only on the gradient and continuous time-independent obstacles, we prove a global $L^1$...

Regularity for solutions to inhomogeneous degenerate parabolic $p$-Laplace equations

For weak solutions to quasilinear degenerate parabolic equations of $p$-Laplace type, a central obstacle in applying the method of intrinsic scaling to prove their H\"{o}lder regularity is the derivation of forward-in-time propagation estimate for the spatial measure of level sets. In this paper, we revisit and overcom...

Global solutions to an initial-boundary value problem for a model of convection driven by surface tension

This paper establishes the global existence of non-negative weak solutions to a two-dimensional, fourth-order nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation modeling surface-tension-driven convection in thin fluid films. First, we construct a regularized approximate problem and prove its solvability via the Galerkin method. U...

Local Well-Posedness of the Boundary Layer Equations for Dilatant Power-Law Fluids

We establish the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of monotone solutions to the two-dimensional nonstationary boundary-layer equations for a dilatant power-law fluid in a periodic half-space for $1<n<\frac{7}{3}$. Under Oleinik's monotonicity condition and suitable weighted Sobolev assumptions on the initial data...

Regularity Preservation for Jump-Type Stochastic Transport Equations with Singular Drift

We study a first-order stochastic transport equation driven by Brownian transport noise and a nonlinear state-dependent Poisson jump term. The drift vector field is merely integrable and satisfies the subcritical Krylov--R\"ockner condition. The dependence of the jump coefficient on the solution creates a nontrivial co...

Well-posedness and numerical reconstruction of a source term for linear parabolic problems with an integral constraint

This work investigates a time-dependent source identification problem for linear parabolic equations subject to an integral constraint and Neumann boundary conditions in a domain of $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 1$. We establish well-posedness and higher regularity of the solution pair in parabolic H\"older spaces. A numerical...
