On the linear force-free fields in bounded and unbounded three-dimensional domains

Tahar-Zamène Boulmezaoud, Yvon Maday, Tahar Amari (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Linear Force-free (or Beltrami) fields are three-components divergence-free fields solutions of the equation curlB = αB, where α is a real number. Such fields appear in many branches of physics like astrophysics, fluid mechanics, electromagnetics and plasma physics. In this paper, we deal with some related boundary value problems in multiply-connected bounded domains, in half-cylindrical domains and in exterior domains.

On the mixed problem for quasilinear partial functional differential equations with unbounded delay

Tomasz Człapiński (1999)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We consider the mixed problem for the quasilinear partial functional differential equation with unbounded delay D t z ( t , x ) = i = 1 n f i ( t , x , z ( t , x ) ) D x i z ( t , x ) + h ( t , x , z ( t , x ) ) , where z ( t , x ) X ̶ 0 is defined by z ( t , x ) ( τ , s ) = z ( t + τ , x + s ) , ( τ , s ) ( - , 0 ] × [ 0 , r ] , and the phase space X ̶ 0 satisfies suitable axioms. Using the method of bicharacteristics and the fixed-point method we prove a theorem on the local existence and uniqueness of Carathéodory solutions of the mixed problem.

On the numerical approximation of first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations

Rémi Abgrall, Vincent Perrier (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Some methods for the numerical approximation of time-dependent and steady first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations are reviewed. Most of the discussion focuses on conformal triangular-type meshes, but we show how to extend this to the most general meshes. We review some first-order monotone schemes and also high-order ones specially dedicated to steady problems.

On the solvability of the equation div u = f in L 1 and in C 0

Bernard Dacorogna, Nicola Fusco, Luc Tartar (2003)

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

We show that the equation div u = f has, in general, no Lipschitz (respectively W 1 , 1 ) solution if f is C 0 (respectively L 1 ).

Optimal Proliferation Rate in a Cell Division Model

P. Michel (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We consider a size structured cell population model where a mother cell gives birth to two daughter cells. We know that the asymptotic behavior of the density of cells is given by the solution to an eigenproblem. The eigenvector gives the asymptotic shape and the eigenvalue gives the exponential growth rate and so the Maltusian parameter. The Maltusian parameter depends on the division rule for the mother cell, i.e., symmetric (the two daughter cells have the same size) or asymmetric. We use a...
