A Boundary Value Problem Connected with Response of Semi-space to a Short Laser Pulse

Gaetano Fichera (1997)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In this paper a mixed boundary value problem for the fourth order hyperbolic equation with constant coefficients which is connected with response of semi-space to a short laser pulse» and belongs to generalized Thermoelasticity is studied. This problem was considered by R. B. Hetnarski and J. Ignaczak, who established some important physical consequences. The present paper contains proof of the existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence of a solution on the datum, together with an effective...

A brief introduction to homogenization and miscellaneous applications*

Grégoire Allaire (2012)

ESAIM: Proceedings

This paper is a set of lecture notes for a short introductory course on homogenization. It covers the basic tools of periodic homogenization (two-scale asymptotic expansions, the oscillating test function method and two-scale convergence) and briefly describes the main results of the more general theory of G−  or H−convergence. Several applications of the method are given: derivation of Darcy’s law for flows in porous media, derivation of the porosity...

A decay estimate for a class of hyperbolic pseudo-differential equations

Sandra Lucente, Guido Ziliotti (1999)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We consider the equation u t i Λ u = 0 , where Λ = λ D x is a first order pseudo-differential operator with real symbol λ ξ . Under a suitable convexity assumption on λ we find the decay properties for u t , x . These can be applied to the linear Maxwell system in anisotropic media and to the nonlinear Cauchy Problem u t i Λ u = f u , u 0 , x = g x . If f u is a smooth function which satisfies f u u p near u = 0 , and g is small in suitably Sobolev norm, we prove global existence theorems provided p is greater than a critical exponent.

A general decay estimate for a finite memory thermoelastic Bresse system

Cyril Dennis Enyi, Soh Edwin Mukiawa (2022)

Applications of Mathematics

This work considers a Bresse system with viscoelastic damping on the vertical displacement and heat conduction effect on the shear angle displacement. A general stability result with minimal condition on the relaxation function is obtained. The system under investigation, to the best of our knowledge, is new and has not been studied before in the literature. What is more interesting is the fact that our result holds without the imposition of the equal speed of wave propagation condition, and differentiation...
