Optimal control for a fourth-order nonisothermal tumor growth model of Caginalp type

Giulia Cavalleri, Pierluigi Colli, Elisabetta Rocca

We study a distributed optimal control problem for a nonisothermal Caginalp-type phase-field model that describes tumour growth under thermal therapy. The PDE system couples a poss…

Optimal control of a tumor growth model with hyperbolic relaxation of the chemical potential

Pierluigi Colli, Elisabetta Rocca, Jürgen Sprekels

In this paper, we study the optimal control of a phase field model for a tumor growth model of Cahn--Hilliard type in which the often assumed parabolic relaxation of the chemical p…

On the hyperbolic relaxation of the chemical potential in a phase field tumor growth model

Pierluigi Colli, Elisabetta Rocca, Jürgen Sprekels

In this paper, we study a phase field model for a tumor growth model of Cahn--Hilliard type in which the often assumed parabolic relaxation of the chemical potential is replaced by…

Optimal velocity control of a Brinkman-Cahn-Hilliard system with curvature effects

Pierluigi Colli, Gianni Gilardi, Andrea Signori +1

We address an optimal control problem governed by a system coupling a Brinkman-type momentum equation for the velocity field with a sixth-order Cahn-Hilliard equation for the phase…

Well-posedness for a fourth-order nonisothermal tumor growth model of Caginalp type

Giulia Cavalleri, Pierluigi Colli, Elisabetta Rocca

We introduce a nonisothermal phase-field system of Caginalp type that describes tumor growth under hyperthermia. The model couples a possibly viscous Cahn-Hilliard equation, govern…

On Brinkman flows with curvature-induced phase separation in binary mixtures

Pierluigi Colli, Gianni Gilardi, Andrea Signori +1

The mathematical analysis of diffuse-interface models for multiphase flows has attracted significant attention due to their ability to capture complex interfacial dynamics, includi…
