A symmetrization result for nonlinear elliptic equations.

Vincenzo Ferone, Basilio Messano (2004)

Revista Matemática Complutense

We consider a solution u of the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for a class of nonlinear elliptic equations in the form A(u) = g(x,u) + f, where the principal term is a Leray-Lions operator defined on W01,p (Ω). The function g(x,u) satisfies suitable growth assumptions, but no sign hypothesis on it is assumed. We prove that the rearrangement of u can be estimated by the solution of a problem whose data are radially symmetric.

A symmetry problem

A. G. Ramm (2007)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Consider the Newtonian potential of a homogeneous bounded body D ⊂ ℝ³ with known constant density and connected complement. If this potential equals c/|x| in a neighborhood of infinity, where c>0 is a constant, then the body is a ball. This known result is now proved by a different simple method. The method can be applied to other problems.

A tensor approximation method based on ideal minimal residual formulations for the solution of high-dimensional problems

In this paper, we propose a method for the approximation of the solution of high-dimensional weakly coercive problems formulated in tensor spaces using low-rank approximation formats. The method can be seen as a perturbation of a minimal residual method with a measure of the residual corresponding to the error in a specified solution norm. The residual norm can be designed such that the resulting low-rank approximations are optimal with respect to particular norms of interest, thus allowing to take...

A thermodynamic approach to nonisothermal phase-field models

Irena Pawłow (2015)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The goal of this paper is to work out a thermodynamical setting for nonisothermal phase-field models with conserved and nonconserved order parameters in thermoelastic materials. Our approach consists in exploiting the second law of thermodynamics in the form of the entropy principle according to I. Müller and I. S. Liu, which leads to the evaluation of the entropy inequality with multipliers. As the main result we obtain a general scheme of phase-field models which involves an...
