Moving mesh for the axisymmetric harmonic map flow

Benoit Merlet, Morgan Pierre (2005)

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

We build corotational symmetric solutions to the harmonic map flow from the unit disc into the unit sphere which have constant degree. First, we prove the existence of such solutions, using a time semi-discrete scheme based on the idea that the harmonic map flow is the L 2 -gradient of the relaxed Dirichlet energy. We prove a partial uniqueness result concerning these solutions. Then, we compute numerically these solutions by a moving-mesh method which allows us to deal with the singularity at the...

Multicomponent flow in a porous medium. Adsorption and Soret effect phenomena : local study and upscaling process

Serge Blancher, René Creff, Gérard Gagneux, Bruno Lacabanne, François Montel, David Trujillo (2001)

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

Our aim here is to study the thermal diffusion phenomenon in a forced convective flow. A system of nonlinear parabolic equations governs the evolution of the mass fractions in multicomponent mixtures. Some existence and uniqueness results are given under suitable conditions on state functions. Then, we present a numerical scheme based on a “mixed finite element” method adapted to a finite volume scheme, of which we give numerical analysis. In a last part, we apply an homogenization technique to...

Multiple solutions for nonlinear discontinuous elliptic problems near resonance

Nikolaos Kourogenis, Nikolaos Papageorgiou (1999)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We consider a quasilinear elliptic eigenvalue problem with a discontinuous right hand side. To be able to have an existence theory, we pass to a multivalued problem (elliptic inclusion). Using a variational approach based on the critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functions, we show that we have at least three nontrivial solutions when λ λ 1 from the left, λ 1 being the principal eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian with the Dirichlet boundary conditions.

Multiplicity of solutions for a singular p-laplacian elliptic equation

Wen-shu Zhou, Xiao-dan Wei (2010)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

The existence of two continuous solutions for a nonlinear singular elliptic equation with natural growth in the gradient is proved for the Dirichlet problem in the unit ball centered at the origin. The first continuous solution is positive and maximal; it is obtained via the regularization method. The second continuous solution is zero at the origin, and follows by considering the corresponding radial ODE and by sub-sup solutions method.
