Homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equations in Carnot Groups

Bianca Stroffolini (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We study an homogenization problem for Hamilton-Jacobi equations in the geometry of Carnot Groups. The tiling and the corresponding notion of periodicity are compatible with the dilatations of the Group and use the Lie bracket generating property.

The speed of propagation for KPP type problems. I: Periodic framework

Henry Berestycki, François Hamel, Nikolai Nadirashvili (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

This paper is devoted to some nonlinear propagation phenomena in periodic and more general domains, for reaction-diffusion equations with Kolmogorov–Petrovsky–Piskunov (KPP) type nonlinearities. The case of periodic domains with periodic underlying excitable media is a follow-up of the article [7]. It is proved that the minimal speed of pulsating fronts is given by a variational formula involving linear eigenvalue problems. Some consequences concerning the influence of the geometry of...

Homogenization of a spectral equation with drift in linear transport

Guillaume Bal (2001)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper deals with the homogenization of a spectral equation posed in a periodic domain in linear transport theory. The particle density at equilibrium is given by the unique normalized positive eigenvector of this spectral equation. The corresponding eigenvalue indicates the amount of particle creation necessary to reach this equilibrium. When the physical parameters satisfy some symmetry conditions, it is known that the eigenvectors of this equation can be approximated by the product...
