On boundary-driven time-dependent Oseen flows

Paul Deuring (2008)

Banach Center Publications

We consider the single layer potential associated to the fundamental solution of the time-dependent Oseen system. It is shown this potential belongs to L²(0,∞,H¹(Ω)³) and to H¹(0,∞,V') if the layer function is in L²(∂Ω×(0,∞)³). (Ω denotes the complement of a bounded Lipschitz set; V denotes the set of smooth solenoidal functions in H¹₀(Ω)³.) This result means that the usual weak solution of the time-dependent Oseen function with zero initial data and zero body force may be represented by a single...

On Bressan's conjecture on mixing properties of vector fields

Stefano Bianchini (2006)

Banach Center Publications

In [9], the author considers a sequence of invertible maps T i : S ¹ S ¹ which exchange the positions of adjacent intervals on the unit circle, and defines as Aₙ the image of the set 0 ≤ x ≤ 1/2 under the action of Tₙ ∘ ... ∘ T₁, (1) Aₙ = (Tₙ ∘ ... ∘ T₁)x₁ ≤ 1/2. Then, if Aₙ is mixed up to scale h, it is proved that (2) i = 1 n ( T o t . V a r . ( T i - I ) + T o t . V a r . ( T i - 1 - I ) ) C l o g 1 / h . We prove that (1) holds for general quasi incompressible invertible BV maps on ℝ, and that this estimate implies that the map Tₙ ∘ ... ∘ T₁ belongs to the Besov space B 0 , 1 , 1 , and its norm is bounded...

On Carleman estimates for elliptic and parabolic operators. Applications to unique continuation and control of parabolic equations

Jérôme Le Rousseau, Gilles Lebeau (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Local and global Carleman estimates play a central role in the study of some partial differential equations regarding questions such as unique continuation and controllability. We survey and prove such estimates in the case of elliptic and parabolic operators by means of semi-classical microlocal techniques. Optimality results for these estimates and some of their consequences are presented. We point out the connexion of these optimality results to the local phase-space geometry after conjugation...

On Cauchy problem for the equations of reactor kinetics.

Jan Kyncl (1989)

Aplikace matematiky

In this paper, the initial value problem for the equations of reactor kinetics is solved and the temperature feedback is taken into account. The space where the problem is solved is chosen in such a way that it may correspond best of all to the mathematical properties of the cross-section models. The local solution is found by the method of iterations, its uniqueness is proved and it is shown also that existence of global solution is ensured in the most cases. Finally, the problem of mild solution...

On caustics associated with Rossby waves

Arthur D. Gorman (1996)

Applications of Mathematics

Rossby wave equations characterize a class of wave phenomena occurring in geophysical fluid dynamics. One technique useful in the analysis of these waves is the geometrical optics, or multi-dimensional WKB technique. Near caustics, e.g., in critical regions, this technique does not apply. A related technique that does apply near caustics is the Lagrange Manifold Formalism. Here we apply the Lagrange Manifold Formalism to study Rossby waves near caustics.

On caustics associated with the linearized vorticity equation

Petya N. Ivanova, Arthur D. Gorman (1998)

Applications of Mathematics

The linearized vorticity equation serves to model a number of wave phenomena in geophysical fluid dynamics. One technique that has been applied to this equation is the geometrical optics, or multi-dimensional WKB technique. Near caustics, this technique does not apply. A related technique that does apply near caustics is the Lagrange Manifold Formalism. Here we apply the Lagrange Manifold Formalism to determine an asymptotic solution of the linearized vorticity equation and to study associated wave...
