On a parabolic integrodifferential equation of Barbashin type

B. G. Pachpatte (2011)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In the present paper we study some basic qualitative properties of solutions of a nonlinear parabolic integrodifferential equation of Barbashin type which occurs frequently in applications. The fundamental integral inequality with explicit estimate is used to establish the results.

On a parabolic problem with nonlinear Newton boundary conditions

Miloslav Feistauer, Karel Najzar, Karel Švadlenka (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The paper is concerned with the study of a parabolic initial-boundary value problem with nonlinear Newton boundary condition considered in a two-dimensional domain. The goal is to prove the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution to the problem in the case when the nonlinearity in the Newton boundary condition does not satisfy any monotonicity condition and to analyze the finite element approximation.

On a Parallel Implementation of the Mortar Element Method

Gassav S. Abdoulaev, Yves Achdou, Yuri A. Kuznetsov, Christophe Prud'homme (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We discuss a parallel implementation of the domain decomposition method based on the macro-hybrid formulation of a second order elliptic equation and on an approximation by the mortar element method. The discretization leads to an algebraic saddle- point problem. An iterative method with a block- diagonal preconditioner is used for solving the saddle- point problem. A parallel implementation of the method is emphasized. Finally the results of numerical experiments are presented.

On a phase transition model of Penrose-Fife type

Gianni Gilardi (2004)

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

We deal with a Penrose-Fife type model for phase transition. We assume a rather general constitutive low for the heat flux and treat the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary condition for the temperature. Some of our proofs apply to different types of boundary conditions as well and improve some results existing in the literature.

On a phase-field model with a logarithmic nonlinearity

Alain Miranville (2012)

Applications of Mathematics

Our aim in this paper is to study the existence of solutions to a phase-field system based on the Maxwell-Cattaneo heat conduction law, with a logarithmic nonlinearity. In particular, we prove, in one and two space dimensions, the existence of a solution which is separated from the singularities of the nonlinear term.

On a probabilistic interpretation of shape derivatives of Dirichlet groundstates with application to Fermion nodes

Mathias Rousset (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper considers Schrödinger operators, and presents a probabilistic interpretation of the variation (or shape derivative) of the Dirichlet groundstate energy when the associated domain is perturbed. This interpretation relies on the distribution on the boundary of a stopped random process with Feynman-Kac weights. Practical computations require in addition the explicit approximation of the normal derivative of the groundstate on the boundary. We then propose to use this formulation in the...
