Regularity for a quasilinear continuous casting problem

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper study the regularity of continuous casting problem �egin{equation} hbox{div}(|

abla u|^{p-2}

abla u-{�f v} �eta(u))=0 ag{sharp} end{equation} for prescribed constant velocity and enthalpy with jump discontinuity at u=0. We establish the following estimates: local log-Lipschitz p>2 for u (and BMO for ablau) for two phase, Lipschitz p>1 for one phase and linear growth up-to boundary near the contact points. We also prove that the free boundary is continuous curve in the direction of in two spatial dimensions. The proof is based on a delicate argument exploiting Sard's theorem for W2,2+eta,eta>0 functions and circumventing the lack of comparison principle for the solutions of (sharp).


The interesting paper under review deals with regularity of the weak solutions to the continuous casting problem \[ \text{div}\big(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u - \mathbf{v}\beta(u)\big)=0 \] with a prescribed constant velocity \(\mathbf{v}\) and where the enthalpy \(\beta(u)\) presents jump discontinuity at \(u=0.\) The author proves that, assuming \(p>2,\) any bounded weak solution of the two phase problem is locally log-Lipschitz continuous. Moreover, when \(p>1\) then any non-negative bounded weak solution to the one phase problem grows linearly up-to boundary near the contact points, and is locally Lipschitz continuous. The proofs rely on delicate arguments exploiting the Sard theorem for \(W^{2,2+\eta}\)-functions in order to circumvent the lack of comparison principle for the equations considered.
