Evolution equations on time-dependent intervals

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study initial boundary value problems for linear evolution partial differential equations (PDEs) posed on a time-dependent interval l1(t)<x<l2(t), 0<t<T, where l1(t) and l2(t) are given, real, differentiable functions, and T is an arbitrary constant. For such problems, we show how to characterise the unknown boundary values in terms of the given initial and boundary conditions. As illustrative examples we consider the heat equation and the linear Schr"{o}dinger equation. In the first case, the unknown Neumann boundary values are expressed in terms of the Dirichlet boundary values and of the initial value through the unique solution of a system of two linear integral equations with explicit kernels. In the second case, a similar result can be proved but only for a more restrictive class of boundary curves.}
