On a singular sublinear polyharmonic problem.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 26A33; Secondary 47G20, 31B05We study a singular value problem and the boundary Harnack principle for the fractional Laplacian on the exterior of the unit ball.
The paper examines the steady Navier-Stokes equations in a three-dimensional infinite pipe with mixed boundary conditions (Dirichlet and slip boundary conditions). The velocity of the fluid is assumed to be constant at infinity. The main results show the existence of weak solutions with no restriction on smallness of the flux vector and boundary conditions.
Estudiamos la existencia y unicidad de soluciones de una ecuación estocástica en derivadas parciales de tipo parabólico propuesta por R. North y R. F. Cahalan en 1982 para la modelización de variabilidad no determinista (como es el caso, por ejemplo, de la acción de volcanes) en el marco de los modelos de balance de energía. El punto más delicado se refiere a la unicidad de soluciones debido a la presencia de un grafo multívoco β en el término de la derecha de la ecuación. En contraste con el caso...
The paper is about a sub-supersolution method for the prescribed mean curvature problem. We formulate the problem as a variational inequality and propose appropriate concepts of sub- and supersolutions for such inequality. Existence and enclosure results for solutions and extremal solutions between sub- and supersolutions are established.
A simple superconvergent scheme for the derivatives of finite element solution is presented, when linear triangular elements are employed to solve second order elliptic systems with boundary conditions of Newton’s or Neumann’s type. For bounded plane domains with smooth boundary the local -superconvergence of the derivatives in the -norm is proved. The paper is a direct continuations of [2], where an analogous problem with Dirichlet’s boundary conditions is treated.
Second order elliptic systems with boundary conditions of Dirichlet, Neumann’s or Newton’s type are solved by means of linear finite elements on regular uniform triangulations. Error estimates of the optimal order are proved for the averaged gradient on any fixed interior subdomain, provided the problem under consideration is regular in a certain sense.
Second order elliptic systems with Dirichlet boundary conditions are solved by means of affine finite elements on regular uniform triangulations. A simple averagign scheme is proposed, which implies a superconvergence of the gradient. For domains with enough smooth boundary, a global estimate is proved in the -norm. For a class of polygonal domains the global estimate can be proven.
In the context of the wave propagation theory in nonlinear hyperbolic systems, we analyse, in the case of a rigid heat conductor, the model proposed by G. Grioli. After introducing the constitutive relations according to the point of view of the extended thermodynamics, we look for the compatibility of the governing equations with a supplementary conservation law. We obtain the functional form of the constitutive quantities and we are able to show that the governing equations may be written in symmetric...
Most non-trivial existence and convergence results for systems of partial differential equations of evolution exclude or avoid the case of a non-symmetrical parabolic part. Therefore such systems, generated by the physical analysis of the processes of transfer of heat and moisture in porous media, cannot be analyzed easily using the standard results on the convergence of Rothe sequences (e.g. those of W. Jäger and J. Kačur). In this paper the general variational formulation of the corresponding...
We study a system of nonlinear wave equations of the Kirchhoff-Carrier type containing a variant of the Balakrishnan-Taylor damping in nonlinear terms. By the linearization method together with the Faedo-Galerkin method, we prove the local existence and uniqueness of a weak solution. On the other hand, by constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional, a sufficient condition is also established to obtain the exponential decay of weak solutions.
We construct a testing function space, which is equipped with the topology that is generated by Lν,p - multinorm of the differential operatorAx = x2 - x d/dx [x d/dx],and its k-th iterates Akx, where k = 0, 1, ... , and A0xφ = φ. Comparing with other testing-function spaces, we introduce in its dual the Kontorovich-Lebedev transformation for distributions with respect to a complex index. The existence, uniqueness, imbedding and inversion properties are investigated. As an application we find a solution...
