Lagrangian approximations and weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations

Werner Varnhorn (2008)

Banach Center Publications

The motion of a viscous incompressible fluid flow in bounded domains with a smooth boundary can be described by the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations. This description corresponds to the so-called Eulerian approach. We develop a new approximation method for the Navier-Stokes equations in both the stationary and the non-stationary case by a suitable coupling of the Eulerian and the Lagrangian representation of the flow, where the latter is defined by the trajectories of the particles of the fluid....

Lagrangian evolution approach to surface-patch quadrangulation

Martin Húska, Matej Medl'a, Karol Mikula, Serena Morigi (2021)

Applications of Mathematics

We present a method for the generation of a pure quad mesh approximating a discrete manifold of arbitrary topology that preserves the patch layout characterizing the intrinsic object structure. A three-step procedure constitutes the core of our approach which first extracts the patch layout of the object by a topological partitioning of the digital shape, then computes the minimal surface given by the boundaries of the patch layout (basic quad layout) and then evolves it towards the object boundaries....

Lanczos-like algorithm for the time-ordered exponential: The * -inverse problem

Pierre-Louis Giscard, Stefano Pozza (2020)

Applications of Mathematics

The time-ordered exponential of a time-dependent matrix 𝖠 ( t ) is defined as the function of 𝖠 ( t ) that solves the first-order system of coupled linear differential equations with non-constant coefficients encoded in 𝖠 ( t ) . The authors have recently proposed the first Lanczos-like algorithm capable of evaluating this function. This algorithm relies on inverses of time-dependent functions with respect to a non-commutative convolution-like product, denoted by * . Yet, the existence of such inverses, crucial to...

Landau-Ginzburg models in real mirror symmetry

Johannes Walcher (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In recent years, mirror symmetry for open strings has exhibited some new connections between symplectic and enumerative geometry (A-model) and complex algebraic geometry (B-model) that in a sense lie between classical and homological mirror symmetry. I review the rôle played in this story by matrix factorizations and the Calabi-Yau/Landau-Ginzburg correspondence.

Laplace asymptotics for generalized K.P.P. equation

Jean-Philippe Rouquès (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Consider a one dimensional nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation (KPP equation) with non-homogeneous second order term, discontinuous initial condition and small parameter. For points ahead of the Freidlin-KPP front, the solution tends to 0 and we obtain sharp asymptotics (i.e. non logarithmic). Our study follows the work of Ben Arous and Rouault who solved this problem in the homogeneous case. Our proof is probabilistic, and is based on the Feynman-Kac formula and the large deviation principle...

Laplace type operators: Dirichlet problem

Wojciech Kozł (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We investigate Laplace type operators in the Euclidean space. We give a purely algebraic proof of the theorem on existence and uniqueness (in the space of polynomial forms) of the Dirichlet boundary problem for a Laplace type operator and give a method of determining the exact solution to that problem. Moreover, we give a decomposition of the kernel of a Laplace type operator into 𝖲𝖮 ( n ) -irreducible subspaces.

Large data local solutions for the derivative NLS equation

Ioan Bejenaru, Daniel Tataru (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider the derivative NLS equation with general quadratic nonlinearities. In [2] the first author has proved a sharp small data local well-posedness result in Sobolev spaces with a decay structure at infinity in dimension n = 2 . Here we prove a similar result for large initial data in all dimensions n 2 .
