Some (new) counterexamples of parabolic systems

Jana Stará, Oldřich John (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We give examples of parabolic systems (in space dimension n 3 ) having a solution with real analytic initial and boundary values which develops the discontinuity in the interior of the parabolic cylinder.

Some new error estimates for finite element methods for second order hyperbolic equations using the Newmark method

Abdallah Bradji, Jürgen Fuhrmann (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

We consider a family of conforming finite element schemes with piecewise polynomial space of degree k in space for solving the wave equation, as a model for second order hyperbolic equations. The discretization in time is performed using the Newmark method. A new a priori estimate is proved. Thanks to this new a priori estimate, it is proved that the convergence order of the error is h k + τ 2 in the discrete norms of ( 0 , T ; 1 ( Ω ) ) and 𝒲 1 , ( 0 , T ; 2 ( Ω ) ) , where h and τ are the mesh size of the spatial and temporal discretization, respectively....

Some new oscillation criteria for second order elliptic equations with damping

Rong-Kun Zhuang, Zheng-an Yao (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Some new oscillation criteria are obtained for second order elliptic differential equations with damping i , j = 1 n D i [ A i j ( x ) D j y ] + i = 1 n b i ( x ) D i y + q ( x ) f ( y ) = 0 , x ∈ Ω, where Ω is an exterior domain in ℝⁿ. These criteria are different from most known ones in the sense that they are based on the information only on a sequence of subdomains of Ω ⊂ ℝⁿ, rather than on the whole exterior domain Ω. Our results are more natural in view of the Sturm Separation Theorem.

Some new problems in spectral optimization

Giuseppe Buttazzo, Bozhidar Velichkov (2014)

Banach Center Publications

We present some new problems in spectral optimization. The first one consists in determining the best domain for the Dirichlet energy (or for the first eigenvalue) of the metric Laplacian, and we consider in particular Riemannian or Finsler manifolds, Carnot-Carathéodory spaces, Gaussian spaces. The second one deals with the optimal shape of a graph when the minimization cost is of spectral type. The third one is the optimization problem for a Schrödinger potential in suitable classes.

Some new results in multiphase geometrical optics

Olof Runborg (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In order to accommodate solutions with multiple phases, corresponding to crossing rays, we formulate geometrical optics for the scalar wave equation as a kinetic transport equation set in phase space. If the maximum number of phases is finite and known a priori we can recover the exact multiphase solution from an associated system of moment equations, closed by an assumption on the form of the density function in the kinetic equation. We consider two different closure assumptions based on delta...

Some new results on a Stefan problem in a concentrated capacity

Enrico Magenes (1992)

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

An existence and uniqueness theorem for a nonlinear parabolic system of partial differential equations, connected with the theory of heat conduction with a transition phase in a concentrated capacity, is given in sufficiently general hypotheses on the data.

Some new results related to the null controllability of the 1 - d heat equation

Antonio López, Enrique Zuazua (1997/1998)

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

We address three null controllability problems related to the 1 - d heat equation. First we show that the 1 - d heat equation with a rapidly oscillating density is uniformly null controllable as the period of the density tends to zero. We also prove that the same result holds for the finite-difference semi-discretization in space of the constant coefficient heat equation as the step size tends to zero. Finally, we prove that the null controllability of the constant coefficient heat equation can be obtained...
