A problem with periodic boundary conditions for the non-Fourier heat equation

Abstract

All diffusion equations are based on the infinite velocity of potential fields, which leads to well-known paradoxes. Consequently, in non-stationary processes, the evolution of these quantities do not completely obey the above equations due to the lack of parameters in them that take into account the finite rate of potential growth.In the heat conduction theory, numerous generalizations of the Fourier law are used as a remedy for these issues. The article gives a brief overview of generalizations of the Fourier law. Some mathematical issues of well-posed boundary value problems for the Guyer-Krumhansl model are discussed. As an application, a boundary value problem for a general quasilinear equation with periodic boundary conditions is considered. Schauder-type a priori estimates are established and the uniqueness of the solution is proved.
