Two separation criteria for second order ordinary or partial differential operators

Richard C. Brown, Don B. Hinton (1999)

Mathematica Bohemica

We generalize a well-known separation condition of Everitt and Giertz to a class of weighted symmetric partial differential operators defined on domains in n . Also, for symmetric second-order ordinary differential operators we show that lim sup t c ( p q ' ) ' / q 2 = θ < 2 where c is a singular point guarantees separation of - ( p y ' ) ' + q y on its minimal domain and extend this criterion to the partial differential setting. As a particular example it is shown that - Δ y + q y is separated on its minimal domain if q is superharmonic. For n = 1 the criterion...

Unique continuation property near a corner and its fluid-structure controllability consequences

Axel Osses, Jean-Pierre Puel (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study a non standard unique continuation property for the biharmonic spectral problem Δ 2 w = - λ Δ w in a 2D corner with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and a supplementary third order boundary condition on one side of the corner. We prove that if the corner has an angle 0 &lt; θ 0 &lt; 2 π , θ 0 π and θ 0 3 π / 2 , a unique continuation property holds. Approximate controllability of a 2-D linear fluid-structure problem follows from this property, with a control acting on the elastic side of a corner in a domain containing a Stokes...

Variational characterization of eigenvalues of a non-symmetric eigenvalue problem governing elastoacoustic vibrations

Markus Stammberger, Heinrich Voss (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

Small amplitude vibrations of an elastic structure completely filled by a fluid are considered. Describing the structure by displacements and the fluid by its pressure field one arrives at a non-selfadjoint eigenvalue problem. Taking advantage of a Rayleigh functional we prove that its eigenvalues can be characterized by variational principles of Rayleigh, minmax and maxmin type.

Weighted norm estimates and L p -spectral independence of linear operators

Peer C. Kunstmann, Hendrik Vogt (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We investigate the L p -spectrum of linear operators defined consistently on L p ( Ω ) for p₀ ≤ p ≤ p₁, where (Ω,μ) is an arbitrary σ-finite measure space and 1 ≤ p₀ < p₁ ≤ ∞. We prove p-independence of the L p -spectrum assuming weighted norm estimates. The assumptions are formulated in terms of a measurable semi-metric d on (Ω,μ); the balls with respect to this semi-metric are required to satisfy a subexponential volume growth condition. We show how previous results on L p -spectral independence can be treated...
