Regularity of the solutions of elliptic systems in polyhedral domains.
We set a coupled boundary value problem between two domains of different dimension. The first one is the unit cube of Rn, n C [2,3], with a crack and the second one is the crack. this problem comes from Ciarlet et al. (1989), that obtained an analogous coupled problem. We show that the solution has singularities due to the crack. As in Grisvard (1989), we adapt the Hilbert uniqueness method of J.-L. Lions (1968,1988) in order to obtain the exact controllability of the associated wave equation with...
The paper presents an a posteriori error estimator for a (piecewise linear) nonconforming finite element approximation of the heat equation in , or 3, using backward Euler’s scheme. For this discretization, we derive a residual indicator, which use a spatial residual indicator based on the jumps of normal and tangential derivatives of the nonconforming approximation and a time residual indicator based on the jump of broken gradients at each time step. Lower and upper bounds form the main results...
We consider a posteriori error estimators that can be applied to anisotropic tetrahedral finite element meshes, i.e. meshes where the aspect ratio of the elements can be arbitrarily large. Two kinds of Zienkiewicz–Zhu (ZZ) type error estimators are derived which originate from different backgrounds. In the course of the analysis, the first estimator turns out to be a special case of the second one, and both estimators can be expressed using some recovered gradient. The advantage of keeping two different...
We consider the stabilization of Maxwell’s equations with space-time variable coefficients in a bounded region with a smooth boundary by means of linear or nonlinear Silver–Müller boundary condition. This is based on some stability estimates that are obtained using the “standard” identity with multiplier and appropriate properties of the feedback. We deduce an explicit decay rate of the energy, for instance exponential, polynomial or logarithmic decays are available for appropriate feedbacks.
As a model for elliptic boundary value problems, we consider the Dirichlet problem for an elliptic operator. Solutions have singular expansions near the conical points of the domain. We give formulas for the coefficients in these expansions.
We study the regularity of the solution of the regularized electric Maxwell problem in a polygonal domain with data in . Using a duality method, we prove a decomposition of the solution into a regular part in the non-Hilbertian Sobolev space and an explicit singular one.
We consider the stabilization of Maxwell's equations with space variable coefficients in a bounded region with a smooth boundary, subject to dissipative boundary conditions of memory type on the boundary. Under suitable conditions on the domain and on the permeability and permittivity coefficients, we prove the exponential/polynomial decay of the energy. Our result is mainly based on the use of the multipliers method and the introduction of a suitable Lyapounov functional.
We consider the inverse problem of determining point wave sources in heteregeneous trees, extensions of one-dimensional stratified sets. We show that the Neumann boundary observation on a part of the lateral boundary determines uniquely the point sources if the time of observation is large enough. We further establish a conditional stability and give a reconstructing scheme.
