2D-1D dimensional reduction in a toy model for magnetoelastic interactions

Mouhcine Tilioua (2011)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper deals with the dimensional reduction from 2D to 1D in magnetoelastic interactions. We adopt a simplified, but nontrivial model described by the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for the magnetization field coupled to an evolution equation for the displacement. We identify the limit problem by using the so-called energy method.

A Boundary Value Problem Connected with Response of Semi-space to a Short Laser Pulse

Gaetano Fichera (1997)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In this paper a mixed boundary value problem for the fourth order hyperbolic equation with constant coefficients which is connected with response of semi-space to a short laser pulse» and belongs to generalized Thermoelasticity is studied. This problem was considered by R. B. Hetnarski and J. Ignaczak, who established some important physical consequences. The present paper contains proof of the existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence of a solution on the datum, together with an effective...

A brief introduction to homogenization and miscellaneous applications*

Grégoire Allaire (2012)

ESAIM: Proceedings

This paper is a set of lecture notes for a short introductory course on homogenization. It covers the basic tools of periodic homogenization (two-scale asymptotic expansions, the oscillating test function method and two-scale convergence) and briefly describes the main results of the more general theory of G−  or H−convergence. Several applications of the method are given: derivation of Darcy’s law for flows in porous media, derivation of the porosity...

A decay estimate for a class of hyperbolic pseudo-differential equations

Sandra Lucente, Guido Ziliotti (1999)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We consider the equation u t i Λ u = 0 , where Λ = λ D x is a first order pseudo-differential operator with real symbol λ ξ . Under a suitable convexity assumption on λ we find the decay properties for u t , x . These can be applied to the linear Maxwell system in anisotropic media and to the nonlinear Cauchy Problem u t i Λ u = f u , u 0 , x = g x . If f u is a smooth function which satisfies f u u p near u = 0 , and g is small in suitably Sobolev norm, we prove global existence theorems provided p is greater than a critical exponent.
