A \"grand unified\" setting is surveyed covering a comprehensive class of such problems. We elaborate the applicability of our scheme with a number examples. A brief discussion of stability and homogenization issues is also provided.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-06-18T07:25:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35D30", "35F16", "35F25", "35F61", "35M33", "35Q61", "35Q79", "35Q74", "74Q05", "74Q10", "74C10", "74B05", "78M40" ], "keywords": [ "monotonicity", "well-posedness", "linear case", "central theme", "number examples" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1401.5294P" } } }
