The use of linear approximation scheme for solving the Stefan problem

Peter Dzurenda (1997)

Applications of Mathematics

This paper deals with the linear approximation scheme to approximate a singular parabolic problem: the two-phase Stefan problem on a domain consisting of two components with imperfect contact. The results of some numerical experiments and comparisons are presented. The method was used to determine the temperature of steel in the process of continuous casting.

Thermodynamics of DNA microarrays

Enrico Carlon (2008)

Banach Center Publications

DNA microarrays have been widely used in molecular biology laboratories. The main current application of these devices is the determination of the gene expression level for thousands of genes simultaneously. Here we review a recently introduced physical model for hybridization (i.e. the binding of complementary DNA strands) in Affymetrix arrays and compare it to experimental results. The experimental data follow rather well the microscopic model and the approach offers several advantages compared...

Thermo-visco-elasticity with rate-independent plasticity in isotropic materials undergoing thermal expansion

Sören Bartels, Tomáš Roubíček (2011)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We consider a viscoelastic solid in Kelvin-Voigt rheology exhibiting also plasticity with hardening and coupled with heat-transfer through dissipative heat production by viscoplastic effects and through thermal expansion and corresponding adiabatic effects. Numerical discretization of the thermodynamically consistent model is proposed by implicit time discretization, suitable regularization, and finite elements in space. Fine a-priori estimates are derived, and convergence is proved by careful successive...
