Bound states of a converging quantum waveguide

Giuseppe Cardone, Sergei A. Nazarov, Keijo Ruotsalainen (2013)

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

We consider a two-dimensional quantum waveguide composed of two semi-strips of width 1 and 1 − ε, where ε > 0 is a small real parameter, i.e. the waveguide is gently converging. The width of the junction zone for the semi-strips is 1 + O(√ε). We will present a sufficient condition for the existence of a weakly coupled bound state below π2, the lower bound of the continuous spectrum. This eigenvalue in the discrete spectrum is unique and its asymptotics is constructed and justified when ε → 0+....

Boundary augmented Lagrangian method for the Signorini problem

Shougui Zhang, Xiaolin Li (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

An augmented Lagrangian method, based on boundary variational formulations and fixed point method, is designed and analyzed for the Signorini problem of the Laplacian. Using the equivalence between Signorini boundary conditions and a fixed-point problem, we develop a new iterative algorithm that formulates the Signorini problem as a sequence of corresponding variational equations with the Steklov-Poincaré operator. Both theoretical results and numerical experiments show that the method presented...

Boundary blow-up solutions for a cooperative system involving the p-Laplacian

Li Chen, Yujuan Chen, Dang Luo (2013)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We study necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of nonnegative boundary blow-up solutions to the cooperative system Δ p u = g ( u - α v ) , Δ p v = f ( v - β u ) in a smooth bounded domain of ℝ N , where Δ p is the p-Laplacian operator defined by Δ p u = d i v ( | ∇ u | p - 2 ∇ u ) with p > 1, f and g are nondecreasing, nonnegative C¹ functions, and α and β are two positive parameters. The asymptotic behavior of solutions near the boundary is obtained and we get a uniqueness result for p = 2.

Boundary conditions on artificial frontiers for incompressible and compressible Navier-Stokes equations

Charles-Henri Bruneau (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Non reflecting boundary conditions on artificial frontiers of the domain are proposed for both incompressible and compressible Navier-Stokes equations. For incompressible flows, the boundary conditions lead to a well-posed problem, convey properly the vortices without any reflections on the artificial limits and allow to compute turbulent flows at high Reynolds numbers. For compressible flows, the boundary conditions convey properly the vortices without any reflections on the artificial limits...

Boundary control and shape optimization for the robust design of bypass anastomoses under uncertainty

Toni Lassila, Andrea Manzoni, Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza (2013)

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

We review the optimal design of an arterial bypass graft following either a (i) boundary optimal control approach, or a (ii) shape optimization formulation. The main focus is quantifying and treating the uncertainty in the residual flow when the hosting artery is not completely occluded, for which the worst-case in terms of recirculation effects is inferred to correspond to a strong orifice flow through near-complete occlusion.A worst-case optimal control approach is applied to the steady Navier-Stokes...
