Degenerate Eikonal equations with discontinuous refraction index

Pierpaolo Soravia (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study the Dirichlet boundary value problem for eikonal type equations of ray light propagation in an inhomogeneous medium with discontinuous refraction index. We prove a comparison principle that allows us to obtain existence and uniqueness of a continuous viscosity solution when the Lie algebra generated by the coefficients satisfies a Hörmander type condition. We require the refraction index to be piecewise continuous across Lipschitz hypersurfaces. The results characterize the value...

Div-curl lemma revisited: Applications in electromagnetism

Marián Slodička, Ján Jr. Buša (2010)

Kybernetika

Two new time-dependent versions of div-curl results in a bounded domain Ω 3 are presented. We study a limit of the product v k w k , where the sequences v k and w k belong to Ł 2 ( Ω ) . In Theorem 2.1 we assume that × v k is bounded in the L p -norm and · w k is controlled in the L r -norm. In Theorem 2.2 we suppose that × w k is bounded in the L p -norm and · w k is controlled in the L r -norm. The time derivative of w k is bounded in both cases in the norm of - 1 ( Ω ) . The convergence (in the sense of distributions) of v k w k to the product v w of weak limits...
