Quadratic finite elements with non-matching grids for the unilateral boundary contact

S. Auliac, Z. Belhachmi, F. Ben Belgacem, F. Hecht (2013)

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

We analyze a numerical model for the Signorini unilateral contact, based on the mortar method, in the quadratic finite element context. The mortar frame enables one to use non-matching grids and brings facilities in the mesh generation of different components of a complex system. The convergence rates we state here are similar to those already obtained for the Signorini problem when discretized on conforming meshes. The matching for the unilateral contact driven by mortars preserves then the proper...

Quadratic tilt-excess decay and strong maximum principle for varifolds

Reiner Schätzle (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

In this paper, we prove that integral n -varifolds μ in codimension 1 with H μ L loc p ( μ ) , p > n , p 2 have quadratic tilt-excess decay tiltex μ ( x , ϱ , T x μ ) = O x ( ϱ 2 ) for μ -almost all x , and a strong maximum principle which states that these varifolds cannot be touched by smooth manifolds whose mean curvature is given by the weak mean curvature H μ , unless the smooth manifold is locally contained in the support of μ .

Qualitative properties of coupled parabolic systems of evolution equations

Stefano Cardanobile, Delio Mugnolo (2008)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We apply functional analytical and variational methods in order to study well-posedness and qualitative properties of evolution equations on product Hilbert spaces. To this aim we introduce an algebraic formalism for matrices of sesquilinear mappings. We apply our results to parabolic problems of different nature: a coupled diffusive system arising in neurobiology, a strongly damped wave equation, and a heat equation with dynamic boundary conditions.

Qualitative properties of the free-boundary of the Reynolds equation in lubrication.

S. J. Alvarez (1989)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

The hydrodynamic lubrication of a cylindrical bearing is governed by the Reynolds equation that must be satisfied by the pressure of lubricating oil. When cavitation occurrs we are carried to an elliptic free-boundary problem where the free-boundary separates the lubricated region from the cavited region.Some qualitative properties are obtained about the shape of the free-boundary as well as the localization of the cavited region.

Quand est-ce que des bornes de Hardy permettent de calculer une constante de Poincaré exacte sur la droite ?

Laurent Miclo (2008)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Classically, Hardy’s inequality enables to estimate the spectral gap of a one-dimensional diffusion up to a factor belonging to [ 1 , 4 ] . The goal of this paper is to better understand the latter factor, at least in a symmetric setting. In particular, we will give an asymptotical criterion implying that its value is exactly 4. The underlying argument is based on a semi-explicit functional for the spectral gap, which is monotone in some rearrangement of the data. To find it will resort to some regularity...
