The periodic unfolding method for a class of parabolic problems with imperfect interfaces

Zhanying Yang (2014)

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

Similarity:

In this paper, we use the adapted periodic unfolding method to study the homogenization and corrector problems for the parabolic problem in a two-component composite with -periodic connected inclusions. The condition imposed on the interface is that the jump of the solution is proportional to the conormal derivative a function of order with ≤ −1. We give the homogenization results which include those obtained by Jose in [54 (2009) 189–222]. We also get the corrector...

Variational approximation of a functional of Mumford–Shah type in codimension higher than one

Francesco Ghiraldin (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper we consider a new kind of Mumford–Shah functional () for maps : ℝ → ℝ with  ≥ . The most important novelty is that the energy features a singular set of codimension greater than one, defined through the theory of distributional jacobians. After recalling the basic definitions and some well established results, we prove an approximation property for the energy ()  −convergence, in the same spirit of the work by Ambrosio and Tortorelli [L....

Boundary layer correctors and generalized polarization tensor for periodic rough thin layers. A review for the conductivity problem

Clair Poignard (2012)

ESAIM: Proceedings

Similarity:

We study the behaviour of the steady-state voltage potential in a material composed of a two-dimensional object surrounded by a rough thin layer and embedded in an ambient medium. The roughness of the layer is supposed to be –periodic, being the magnitude of the mean thickness of the layer, and a positive parameter describing the degree of roughness. For tending to zero, we determine the appropriate boundary layer correctors which lead to approximate transmission...

Homogenization of quasilinear optimal control problems involving a thick multilevel junction of type 3 : 2 : 1

Tiziana Durante, Taras A. Mel’nyk (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We consider quasilinear optimal control problems involving a thick two-level junction which consists of the junction body and a large number of thin cylinders with the cross-section of order 𝒪( ). The thin cylinders are divided into two levels depending on the geometrical characteristics, the quasilinear boundary conditions and controls given on their lateral surfaces and bases respectively. In addition, the quasilinear boundary...

Linearized plastic plate models as Γ-limits of 3D finite elastoplasticity

Elisa Davoli (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The subject of this paper is the rigorous derivation of reduced models for a thin plate by means of -convergence, in the framework of finite plasticity. Denoting by the thickness of the plate, we analyse the case where the scaling factor of the elasto-plastic energy per unit volume is of order , with ≥ 3. According to the value of , partially or fully linearized models are deduced, which correspond, in the absence of plastic deformation, to the Von Kármán plate theory...

On multiplicatively dependent linear numeration systems, and periodic points

Christiane Frougny (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

Two linear numeration systems, with characteristic polynomial equal to the minimal polynomial of two Pisot numbers and respectively, such that and are multiplicatively dependent, are considered. It is shown that the conversion between one system and the other one is computable by a finite automaton. We also define a sequence of integers which is equal to the number of periodic points of a sofic dynamical system associated with some Parry number.

Dimension reduction for functionals on solenoidal vector fields

Stefan Krömer (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We study integral functionals constrained to divergence-free vector fields in on a thin domain, under standard -growth and coercivity assumptions, 1    ∞. We prove that as the thickness of the domain goes to zero, the Gamma-limit with respect to weak convergence in is always given by the associated functional with convexified energy density wherever it is finite. Remarkably, this happens despite the fact that relaxation of nonconvex functionals subject...

Which electric fields are realizable in conducting materials?

Marc Briane, Graeme W. Milton, Andrejs Treibergs (2014)

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

Similarity:

In this paper we study the realizability of a given smooth periodic gradient field ∇ defined in R, in the sense of finding when one can obtain a matrix conductivity such that ∇ is a divergence free current field. The construction is shown to be always possible locally in R provided that ∇ is non-vanishing. This condition is also necessary in dimension two but not in dimension three. In fact the realizability may fail for non-regular gradient fields, and in general the conductivity cannot...

A Variational Problem Modelling Behavior of Unorthodox Silicon Crystals

J. Hannon, M. Marcus, Victor J. Mizel (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

Controlling growth at crystalline surfaces requires a detailed and quantitative understanding of the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters governing mass transport. Many of these parameters can be determined by analyzing the isothermal wandering of steps at a vicinal [“step-terrace”] type surface [for a recent review see [4]]. In the case of crystals one finds that these meanderings develop larger amplitudes as the equilibrium temperature is raised (as is consistent with the statistical...

Periodic stabilization for linear time-periodic ordinary differential equations

Gengsheng Wang, Yashan Xu (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper studies the periodic feedback stabilization of the controlled linear time-periodic ordinary differential equation: () = ()() + ()(),  ≥ 0, where [(·)(·)] is a -periodic pair, , (·) ∈  (ℝ; ℝ) and (·) ∈  (ℝ; ℝ) satisfy respectively ( + ) = () for a.e.  ≥ 0 and ( + ) = () for a.e.  ≥ 0. Two periodic stablization criteria for a -period pair [(·)(·)] are established. One is an analytic criterion which is related to the transformation over time associated...

The polarization in a ferroelectric thin film: local and nonlocal limit problems

Antonio Gaudiello, Kamel Hamdache (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper, starting from classical non-convex and nonlocal 3-variational model of the electric polarization in a ferroelectric material, an asymptotic process we obtain a rigorous 2-variational model for a thin film. Depending on the initial boundary conditions, the limit problem can be either nonlocal or local.

We study the regularity of finite energy solutions to degenerate n-harmonic equations. The function K(x), which measures the degeneracy, is assumed to be subexponentially integrable, i.e. it verifies the condition exp(P(K)) ∈ L loc 1. The...
