Improvement of Numerical Solution of Boundary Layer Problems by Incorporation of Asymptotic Approximations.
Propagation of polymerization fronts with liquid monomer and liquid polymer is considered and the influence of vibrations on critical conditions of convective instability is studied. The model includes the heat equation, the equation for the concentration and the Navier-Stokes equations considered under the Boussinesq approximation. Linear stability analysis of the problem is fulfilled, and the convective instability boundary is found depending on...
Sufficient conditions for the existence of bounded solutions of singularly perturbed impulsive differential equations are obtained. For this purpose integral manifolds are used.
Some properties of differential inclusions with lower semicontinuous right-hand side are considered. Our essential assumption is the one-sided Lipschitz condition introduced in [4]. Using the main idea of [10], we extend the well known relaxation theorem, stating that the solution set of the original problem is dense in the solution set of the relaxed one, under assumptions essentially weaker than those in the literature. Applications in optimal control are given.
We are concerned with a 2D time harmonic wave propagation problem in a medium including a thin slot whose thickness ε is small with respect to the wavelength. In a previous article, we derived formally an asymptotic expansion of the solution with respect to ε using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. We also proved the existence and uniqueness of the terms of the asymptotics. In this paper, we complete the mathematical justification of our work by deriving optimal error estimates between...
While making informed decisions regarding investments in customer retention and acquisition becomes a pressing managerial issue, formal models and analysis, which may provide insight into this topic, are still scarce. In this study we examine two dynamic models for optimal acquisition and retention models of a monopoly, the total cost and the cost per customer models. These models are analytically analyzed using classical, direct, methods and asymptotic expansions (for the total cost model). In...

We address here mathematical models related to the Laser-Plasma Interaction. After a simplified introduction to the physical background concerning the modelling of the laser propagation and its interaction with a plasma, we recall some classical results about the geometrical optics in plasmas. Then we deal with the well known paraxial approximation of the solution of the Maxwell equation; we state a coupling model between the plasma hydrodynamics and the laser propagation. Lastly, we consider the...
