Conditions aux limites approchées pour les couches minces périodiques
Nous écrivons et nous justifions des conditions aux limites approchées pour des couches minces périodiques recouvrant un objet parfaitement conducteur en polarisation transverse électrique et transverse magnétique.
A symmetric N-string is a network of N ≥ 2 sections of string tied together at one common mobile extremity. In their equilibrium position, the sections of string form N angles of 2π/N at their junction point. Considering the initial and boundary value problem for small-amplitude oscillations perpendicular to the plane of the N-string at rest, we obtain conditions under which the solution will be periodic with an integral period.
We obtain logarithmic improvements for conditions for regularity of the Navier-Stokes equation, similar to those of Prodi-Serrin or Beale-Kato-Majda. Some of the proofs make use of a stochastic approach involving Feynman-Kac-like inequalities. As part of our methods, we give a different approach to a priori estimates of Foiaş, Guillopé and Temam.
In the context of suitable weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations we present local conditions of Prodi-Serrin’s type on velocity and pressure under which is a regular point of . The conditions are imposed exclusively on the outside of a sufficiently narrow space-time paraboloid with the vertex and the axis parallel with the -axis.
In this paper we summarize an abstract approach to inertial manifolds for nonautonomous dynamical systems. Our result on the existence of inertial manifolds requires only two geometrical assumptions, called cone invariance and squeezing property, and some additional technical assumptions like boundedness or smoothing properties. We apply this result to processes (two-parameter semiflows) generated by nonautonomous semilinear parabolic evolution equations.
We show that a certain eigenvalue minimization problem in two dimensions for the Laplace operator in conformal classes is equivalent to the composite membrane problem. We again establish such a link in higher dimensions for eigenvalue problems stemming from the critical GJMS operators. New free boundary problems of unstable type arise in higher dimensions linked to the critical GJMS operator. In dimension four, the critical GJMS operator is exactly the Paneitz operator.
