The limit behavior of the solutions of Signorini’s type-like problems in periodically perforated domains with period ε is studied. The main feature of this limit behaviour is the existence of a critical size of the perforations that separates different emerging phenomena as ε 0 . In the critical case, it is shown that Signorini’s problem converges to a problem associated to a new operator which is the sum of a standard homogenized operator and an extra zero order term (“strange term”) coming...

Periodic solutions for nonlinear elliptic equations. Application to charged particle beam focusing systems

Mihai Bostan, Eric Sonnendrücker (2006)

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

Similarity:

We study the existence of spatial periodic solutions for nonlinear elliptic equations - Δ u + g ( x , u ( x ) ) = 0 , x N where g is a continuous function, nondecreasing w.r.t. u . We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions. Some cases with nonincreasing functions g are investigated as well. As an application we analyze the mathematical model of electron beam focusing system and we prove the existence of positive periodic solutions for the envelope equation. We present also numerical...
