Abstract

In this talk, I will first go over a brief background of Wentzell boundary condition, its applications to other mathematical models, its relationship with other boundary conditions, and some recent work on Wentzell boundary condition. Then I will talk about two parabolic models with generalized Wentzell boundary condition in detail. This includes generation of semigroup, local and global existence, and some sufficient conditions for finite time blow-up.
