Effect of Electrostriction on the Self-organization of Porous Nanostructures in Anodized Aluminum Oxide

L. G. Stanton, A. A. Golovin (2008)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The self-organization of porous nanostructures in anodic metal oxide is considered. A mathematical model which incorporates the chemical reactions at the metal-oxide and oxide-electrolyte interfaces and elastic stress caused by the electrostrictive effects is developed. It is shown through linear stability analysis, that a short-wave instability exists in certain parameter regimes which can lead to the formation of hexagonally ordered pores observed in anodized aluminum oxide.

Eigenvalues of polyharmonic operators on variable domains

Davide Buoso, Pier Domenico Lamberti (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider a class of eigenvalue problems for polyharmonic operators, including Dirichlet and buckling-type eigenvalue problems. We prove an analyticity result for the dependence of the symmetric functions of the eigenvalues upon domain perturbations and compute Hadamard-type formulas for the Frechét differentials. We also consider isovolumetric domain perturbations and characterize the corresponding critical domains for the symmetric functions of the eigenvalues. Finally, we prove that balls are...

Eliciting harmonics on strings

Steven J. Cox, Antoine Henrot (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

One may produce the qth harmonic of a string of length π by applying the 'correct touch' at the node π / q during a simultaneous pluck or bow. This notion was made precise by a model of Bamberger, Rauch and Taylor. Their 'touch' is a damper of magnitude b concentrated at π / q . The 'correct touch' is that b for which the modes, that do not vanish at π / q , are maximally damped. We here examine the associated spectral problem. We find the spectrum to be periodic and determined by a polynomial of degree q - 1 ....

Equations de Fokker-Planck géométriques II : estimations hypoelliptiques maximales

Gilles Lebeau (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Nous donnons des résultats analytiques sur les propriétés de régularité du laplacien hypoelliptique de Jean-Michel Bismut et plus généralement sur les opérateurs P de type Fokker-Planck géométrique agissant sur le fibré cotangent Σ = T * X d’une variété riemannienne compacte X . En particulier, nous prouvons un résultat d’hypoellipticité maximale pour P , et nous en déduisons des bornes sur la localisation de ses valeurs spectrales.

Error estimates for the Coupled Cluster method

Thorsten Rohwedder, Reinhold Schneider (2013)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

The Coupled Cluster (CC) method is a widely used and highly successful high precision method for the solution of the stationary electronic Schrödinger equation, with its practical convergence properties being similar to that of a corresponding Galerkin (CI) scheme. This behaviour has for the discrete CC method been analyzed with respect to the discrete Galerkin solution (the “full-CI-limit”) in [Schneider, 2009]. Recently, we globalized the CC formulation to the full continuous space, giving a root...

Estimates of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions in periodic homogenization

Carlos E. Kenig, Fanghua Lin, Zhongwei Shen (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

For a family of elliptic operators with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients, we study the convergence rates for Dirichlet eigenvalues and bounds of the normal derivatives of Dirichlet eigenfunctions. The results rely on an O ( ϵ ) estimate in H 1 for solutions with Dirichlet condition.
