Γ):Γ ∈ 𝒜, ℋ1(Γ) = l}, where ℋ1D1,...,Dk } ⊂ Rd . The cost functional ℰ(Γ) is the Dirichlet energy of Γ defined through the Sobolev functions on Γ vanishing on the points Di. We analyze the existence of a solution in both the families of connected sets and of metric graphs. At the end, several explicit examples are discussed.
Material and shape derivatives for solutions to the Dirichlet Laplacian in a half-space are derived by an application of the speed method. The proposed method is general and can be used for shape sensitivity analysis in unbounded domains for the Neumann Laplacian as well as for the elasticity boundary value problems.
Si presentano alcuni risultati recenti riguardanti la disuguaglianza di Pòlya- Szegö e la caratterizzazione dei casi in cui essa si riduce ad un'uguaglianza. Particolare attenzione viene rivolta alla simmetrizzazione di Steiner di insiemi di perimetro finito e di funzioni di Sobolev.
We give necessary and sufficient local conditions for the simultaneous unitarizability of a set of analytic matrix maps from an analytic 1-manifold into under conjugation by a single analytic matrix map.We apply this result to the monodromy arising from an integrable partial differential equation to construct a family of -noids, genus-zero constant mean curvature surfaces with three or more ends in euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic -spaces.
This paper deals with some inverse and control problems for the Navier-Stokes and related systems. We will focus on some particular aspects that have recently led to interesting (theoretical and numerical) results: geometric inverse problems, Eulerian and Lagrangian controllability and vortex reduction oriented to shape optimization.
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.
We consider the functional where is a bounded domain and is a convex function. Under general assumptions on , Crasta [Cr1] has shown that if admits a minimizer in depending only on the distance from the boundary of , then must be a ball. With some restrictions on , we prove that spherical symmetry can be obtained only by assuming that the minimizer has one level surface parallel to the boundary (i.e. it has only a level surface in common with the distance). We then discuss how these...
