Remarks on the theory of elasticity

Sergio Conti, Camillo de Lellis (2003)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

In compressible Neohookean elasticity one minimizes functionals which are composed by the sum of the L 2 norm of the deformation gradient and a nonlinear function of the determinant of the gradient. Non–interpenetrability of matter is then represented by additional invertibility conditions. An existence theory which includes a precise notion of invertibility and allows for cavitation was formulated by Müller and Spector in 1995. It applies, however, only if some L p -norm of the gradient with p > 2 is controlled...

Semi-classical standing waves for nonlinear Schrödinger equations at structurally stable critical points of the potential

Jaeyoung Byeon, Kazunaga Tanaka (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider a singularly perturbed elliptic equation ϵ 2 Δ u - V ( x ) u + f ( u ) = 0 , u ( x ) > 0 on ℝ N , 𝚕𝚒𝚖 x → ∞ u ( x ) = 0 , where V ( x ) > 0 for any x ∈ ℝ N . The singularly perturbed problem has corresponding limiting problems Δ U - c U + f ( U ) = 0 , U ( x ) > 0 on ℝ N , 𝚕𝚒𝚖 x → ∞ U ( x ) = 0 , c > 0 . Berestycki-Lions found almost necessary and sufficient conditions on nonlinearity f for existence of a solution of the limiting problem. There have been endeavors to construct solutions of the singularly perturbed problem concentrating around structurally stable critical points of potential V under possibly general conditions on f . In...

Some geometric aspects of the calculus of variations in several independent variables

David Saunders (2010)

Communications in Mathematics

This paper describes some recent research on parametric problems in the calculus of variations. It explains the relationship between these problems and the type of problem more usual in physics, where there is a given space of independent variables, and it gives an interpretation of the first variation formula in this context in terms of cohomology.

Space-time variational saddle point formulations of Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations

Rafaela Guberovic, Christoph Schwab, Rob Stevenson (2014)

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

The instationary Stokes and Navier−Stokes equations are considered in a simultaneously space-time variational saddle point formulation, so involving both velocities u and pressure p. For the instationary Stokes problem, it is shown that the corresponding operator is a boundedly invertible linear mapping between H1 and H'2, both Hilbert spaces H1 and H2 being Cartesian products of (intersections of) Bochner spaces, or duals of those. Based on these results, the operator that corresponds to the Navier−Stokes...

Stability of solutions for an abstract Dirichlet problem

Marek Galewski (2004)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We consider continuous dependence of solutions on the right hand side for a semilinear operator equation Lx = ∇G(x), where L: D(L) ⊂ Y → Y (Y a Hilbert space) is self-adjoint and positive definite and G:Y → Y is a convex functional with superquadratic growth. As applications we derive some stability results and dependence on a functional parameter for a fourth order Dirichlet problem. Applications to P.D.E. are also given.
