Linearization and explicit solutions of the minimal surface equations.

Alexander G. Reznikov (1992)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

We show that the apparatus of support functions, usually used in convex surfaces theory, leads to the linear equation Δh + 2h = 0 describing locally germs of minimal surfaces. Here Δ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the standard two-dimensional sphere. It explains the existence of the sum operator of minimal surfaces, introduced recently. In 4-dimensional space the equation Δ h + 2h = 0 becomes inequality wherever the Gauss curvature of a minimal hypersurface is nonzero.

Lower and upper bounds for the Rayleigh conductivity of a perforated plate

S. Laurens, S. Tordeux, A. Bendali, M. Fares, P. R. Kotiuga (2013)

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

Lower and upper bounds for the Rayleigh conductivity of a perforation in a thick plate are usually derived from intuitive approximations and by physical reasoning. This paper addresses a mathematical justification of these approaches. As a byproduct of the rigorous handling of these issues, some improvements to previous bounds for axisymmetric holes are given as well as new estimates for tilted perforations. The main techniques are a proper use of the Dirichlet and Kelvin variational principlesin...

Matching of asymptotic expansions for waves propagation in media with thin slots II: The error estimates

Patrick Joly, Sébastien Tordeux (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We are concerned with a 2D time harmonic wave propagation problem in a medium including a thin slot whose thickness ε is small with respect to the wavelength. In a previous article, we derived formally an asymptotic expansion of the solution with respect to ε using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. We also proved the existence and uniqueness of the terms of the asymptotics. In this paper, we complete the mathematical justification of our work by deriving optimal error estimates between...

Mathematical modeling of time-harmonic aeroacoustics with a generalized impedance boundary condition

Eric Luneville, Jean-Francois Mercier (2014)

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

We study the time-harmonic acoustic scattering in a duct in presence of a flow and of a discontinuous impedance boundary condition. Unlike a continuous impedance, a discontinuous one leads to still open modeling questions, as in particular the singularity of the solution at the abrupt transition and the choice of the right unknown to formulate the scattering problem. To address these questions we propose a mathematical approach based on variational formulations set in weighted Sobolev spaces. Considering...

Mesures limites pour l’équation de Helmholtz dans le cas non captif

Jean-François Bony (2009)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Cet article est consacré à l’étude des mesures limites associées à la solution de l’équation de Helmholtz avec un terme source se concentrant en un point. Le potentiel est supposé C et l’opérateur non-captif. La solution de l’équation de Schrödinger semi-classique s’écrit alors micro-localement comme somme finie de distributions lagrangiennes. Sous une hypothèse géométrique, qui généralise l’hypothèse du viriel, on en déduit que la mesure limite existe et qu’elle vérifie des propriétés standard....
