Pointwise estimates for a class of strongly degenerate elliptic operators : a geometrical approach
Let be a weak solution of a quasilinear elliptic equation of the growth with a measure right hand term . We estimate at an interior point of the domain , or an irregular boundary point , in terms of a norm of , a nonlinear potential of and the Wiener integral of . This quantifies the result on necessity of the Wiener criterion.
Starting with the computation of the appropriate Poisson kernels, we review, complement, and compare results on drifted Laplace operators in two different contexts: homogeneous trees and the hyperbolic half-plane.
The electric potential u in a solute of electrolyte satisfies the equation Δu(x) = f(u(x)), x ∈ Ω ⊂ ℝ³, . One studies the existence of a solution of the problem and its properties.
We introduce a new variational method for the numerical homogenization of divergence form elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic equations with arbitrary rough (L∞) coefficients. Our method does not rely on concepts of ergodicity or scale-separation but on compactness properties of the solution space and a new variational approach to homogenization. The approximation space is generated by an interpolation basis (over scattered points forming a mesh of resolution H) minimizing the L2 norm of the source...
While the physical properties of the gravitational field in the radiation regime are reasonably well understood, several mathematical questions remain unanswered. The question here is that of existence and properties of gravitational fields with asymptotic behavior compatible with existence of gravitational radiation. A framework to study those questions has been proposed by R. Penrose (R. Penrose, “Zero rest-mass fields including gravitation”, Proc. Roy. Soc. London A284 (1965), 159-203), and developed...
