On an optimal decomposition in Zygmund spaces.
We prove that penalization of constraints occuring in the linear elliptic Neumann problem yields directly the exact solution for an arbitrary set of penalty parameters. In this case there is a continuum of Lagrange's multipliers. The proposed penalty method is applied to calculate the magnetic field in the window of a transformer.
We consider FE-grid optimization in elliptic unilateral boundary value problems. The criterion used in grid optimization is the total potential energy of the system. It is shown that minimization of this cost functional means a decrease of the discretization error or a better approximation of the unilateral boundary conditions. Design sensitivity analysis is given with respect to the movement of nodal points. Numerical results for the Dirichlet-Signorini problem for the Laplace equation and the...
In this paper the problem of homogeneization for the Laplace operator in partially perforated domains with small cavities and the Neumann boundary conditions on the boundary of cavities is studied. The corresponding spectral problem is also considered.
Two new assertions characterizing analytically disks in the Euclidean plane are proved. Weighted mean value property of positive solutions to the Helmholtz and modified Helmholtz equations are used for this purpose; the weight has a logarithmic singularity. The obtained results are compared with those without weight that were found earlier.
Using the method of normalized systems of functions, we study one representation of real analytic functions by monogenic functions (i.e., solutions of Dirac equations), which is an Almansi’s formula of infinite order. As applications of the representation, we construct solutions of the inhomogeneous Dirac and poly-Dirac equations in Clifford analysis.
Our concern is the computation of optimal shapes in problems involving (−Δ)1/2. We focus on the energy J(Ω) associated to the solution uΩ of the basic Dirichlet problem ( − Δ)1/2uΩ = 1 in Ω, u = 0 in Ωc. We show that regular minimizers Ω of this energy under a volume constraint are disks. Our proof goes through the explicit computation of the shape derivative (that seems to be completely new in the fractional context), and a refined adaptation of the moving plane method.
