Abstract

This work deals with the study of some stratigraphic models for the formation of geological basins under a maximal erosion rate constrain. It leads to introduce differentialinclusions of degenerated hyperbolic-parabolic type $0\in \partial _{t}u-div\{H(\partial _{t}u+E)\nabla u\}$ , where H is the maximal monotonous graph of the Heaviside function and E is a given non-negative function. Firstly, we present the new and realistic models and an original mathematical formulation, taking into account the weather-limited rate constraint in the conservation law, with a unilateral constraint on the outflow boundary. Then, we give a study of the 1-D case with numerical illustrations.
