Focusing of a pulse with arbitrary phase shift for a nonlinear wave equation

Rémi Carles, David Lannes (2003)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We consider a system of two linear conservative wave equations, with a nonlinear coupling, in space dimension three. Spherical pulse like initial data cause focusing at the origin in the limit of short wavelength. Because the equations are conservative, the caustic crossing is not trivial, and we analyze it for particular initial data. It turns out that the phase shift between the incoming wave (before the focus) and the outgoing wave (past the focus) behaves like ln ε , where ε stands for the wavelength....

Focusing of spherical nonlinear pulses in R1+3. II. Nonlinear caustic.

Rémi Carles, Jeffrey Rauch (2004)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We study spherical pulse like families of solutions to semilinear wave equattions in space time of dimension 1+3 as the pulses focus at a point and emerge outgoing. We emphasize the scales for which the incoming and outgoing waves behave linearly but the nonlinearity has a strong effect at the focus. The focus crossing is described by a scattering operator for the semilinear equation, which broadens the pulses. The relative errors in our approximate solutions are small in the L∞ norm.

Frictional contact of an anisotropic piezoelectric plate

Isabel N. Figueiredo, Georg Stadler (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The purpose of this paper is to derive and study a new asymptotic model for the equilibrium state of a thin anisotropic piezoelectric plate in frictional contact with a rigid obstacle. In the asymptotic process, the thickness of the piezoelectric plate is driven to zero and the convergence of the unknowns is studied. This leads to two-dimensional Kirchhoff-Love plate equations, in which mechanical displacement and electric potential are partly decoupled. Based on this model numerical examples are presented...

Functional equations and a theoretical model of DLTS

Václav Tryhuk (1995)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper deals with a theoretical model of the Crowel-Alipanahi correlator. The model describes a new possible effect of the DLTS spectra-exponential and nonexponential transient capacitance, normal or anomalous spectra.

Generalized Backscattering and the Lax-Phillips Transform

Melrose, Richard, Uhlmann, Gunther (2008)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35P25, 35R30, 58J50.Using the free-space translation representation (modified Radon transform) of Lax and Phillips in odd dimensions, it is shown that the generalized backscattering transform (so outgoing angle w = Sq in terms of the incoming angle with S orthogonal and Id-S invertible) may be further restricted to give an entire, globally Fredholm, operator on appropriate Sobolev spaces of potentials with compact support. As a corollary we show that the...

Generalized combined field integral equations for the iterative solution of the three-dimensional Helmholtz equation

Xavier Antoine, Marion Darbas (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper addresses the derivation of new second-kind Fredholm combined field integral equations for the Krylov iterative solution of tridimensional acoustic scattering problems by a smooth closed surface. These integral equations need the introduction of suitable tangential square-root operators to regularize the formulations. Existence and uniqueness occur for these formulations. They can be interpreted as generalizations of the well-known Brakhage-Werner [A. Brakhage and P. Werner, Arch....

Geometric optics and instability for NLS and Davey-Stewartson models

Rémi Carles, Eric Dumas, Christof Sparber (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study the interaction of (slowly modulated) high frequency waves for multi-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equations with Gauge invariant power-law nonlinearities and nonlocal perturbations. The model includes the Davey-Stewartson system in its elliptic-elliptic and hyperbolic-elliptic variants. Our analysis reveals a new localization phenomenon for nonlocal perturbations in the high frequency regime and allows us to infer strong instability results on the Cauchy problem in negative order Sobolev...

Geometric optics expansions with amplification for hyperbolic boundary value problems: Linear problems

Jean-François Coulombel, Olivier Guès (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We compute and justify rigorous geometric optics expansions for linear hyperbolic boundary value problems that do not satisfy the uniform Lopatinskii condition. We exhibit an amplification phenomenon for the reflection of small high frequency oscillations at the boundary. Our analysis has two important consequences for such hyperbolic boundary value problems. Firstly, we make precise the optimal energy estimate in Sobolev spaces showing that losses of derivatives must occur from the source terms...

Geometric structure of magnetic walls

Myriam Lecumberry (2005)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

After a short introduction on micromagnetism, we will focus on a scalar micromagnetic model. The problem, which is hyperbolic, can be viewed as a problem of Hamilton-Jacobi, and, similarly to conservation laws, it admits a kinetic formulation. We will use both points of view, together with tools from geometric measure theory, to prove the rectifiability of the singular set of micromagnetic configurations.
