Some approximation properties in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces
We show that the classical solution of the heat equation can be seen as the minimizer of a suitable functional defined in space-time. Using similar ideas, we introduce a functional on the class of space-time tracks of moving hypersurfaces, and we study suitable minimization problems related with . We show some connections between minimizers of and mean curvature flow.
We consider three types of semilinear second order PDEs on a cylindrical domain , where is a bounded domain in , . Among these, two are evolution problems of parabolic and hyperbolic types, in which the unbounded direction of is reserved for time , the third type is an elliptic equation with a singled out unbounded variable . We discuss the asymptotic behavior, as , of solutions which are defined and bounded on .
We consider a model eigenvalue problem (EVP) in 1D, with periodic or semi–periodic boundary conditions (BCs). The discretization of this type of EVP by consistent mass finite element methods (FEMs) leads to the generalized matrix EVP Kc = λ M c, where K and M are real, symmetric matrices, with a certain (skew–)circulant structure. In this paper we fix our attention to the use of a quadratic FE–mesh. Explicit expressions for the eigenvalues of the resulting algebraic EVP are established. This leads...
Two new applications of -representations of PDEs are presented: 1. Geometric algorithms for numerical integration of PDEs by constructing planimetric discrete nets on the Lobachevsky plane . 2. Employing -representations for the spectral-evolutionary problem for nonlinear PDEs within the inverse scattering problem method.
The goal of this note is to present the recent results concerning the controllability of the Vlasov-Maxwell system, which are proved in the paper [10] by Olivier Glass and the author.
