Nonlinear nonlocal problems for a parabolic equation in a two-dimensional domain (Q4940414)

In a two-dimensional domain \(Q_{T}=\Omega\times(0,T),\) \(\Omega= \{(r,\varphi):r_{1}<r<r_{2},0<\varphi\leq 2\pi\}\) the authors study a nonlocal boundary value problem for parabolic equations of the following form \[ {{\partial u}\over{\partial t}}={{1}\over{r}}{{\partial }\over{\partial r}} \left(r{{\partial u}\over{\partial r}}\right)+ {{1}\over{r^{2}}}{{\partial^{2}u}\over{\partial\varphi^{2}}}+ f(r,\varphi,t), \tag{1} \] \[ \begin{aligned} {{\partial u}\over{\partial t}} &=g(u)- \varepsilon\int_{0}^{2\pi}R(\varphi,\psi) g(u(r_{1},\psi,t)) d\psi-\mu_{1}(\varphi,t),\quad r=r_{1};\\ -{{\partial u}\over{\partial t}} &=\beta u-\mu_{2}(\varphi,t),\quad r=r_{2}, \end{aligned} \tag{2} \] \[ u(r,\varphi,0)=u_{0}(r,\varphi), \quad u(r,\varphi,t)=u(r,\varphi+2\pi,t), \tag{3} \] where \(R(\varphi,\psi) \) is the resolvent of the integral equation kernel represented by the absolutely and uniformly convergent series \[ R(\varphi,\psi)={{1}\over{2\pi\varepsilon}}- {{1}\over{\pi}}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} {{\cos{n(\varphi-\psi)}}\over{4n^{2}-\varepsilon}}; \] \(r_{1},r_{2},r,t\) are pure values, \(g(u)\) is a known function with the bounded derivative; \(\mu_{1},\mu_{2},\beta\) are known continuous functions and \(\varepsilon\) is a constant. Convergence of the Rothe method for problem (1)--(3) is proved and an a priori estimate in the grid norm on the layer of the constructed difference scheme is obtained.
