Surface integral and Gauss-Ostrogradskij theorem from the viewpoint of applications

Alexander Ženíšek (1999)

Applications of Mathematics

Making use of a surface integral defined without use of the partition of unity, trace theorems and the Gauss-Ostrogradskij theorem are proved in the case of three-dimensional domains Ω with a Lipschitz-continuous boundary for functions belonging to the Sobolev spaces H 1 , p ( ) ( 1 ...

Symmetry of local minimizers for the three-dimensional Ginzburg–Landau functional

Vincent Millot, Adriano Pisante (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We classify nonconstant entire local minimizers of the standard Ginzburg–Landau functional for maps in H loc 1 ( 3 ; 3 ) satisfying a natural energy bound. Up to translations and rotations,such solutions of the Ginzburg–Landau system are given by an explicit solution equivariant under the action of the orthogonal group.

Symmetry of minimizers with a level surface parallel to the boundary

Giulio Ciraolo, Rolando Magnanini, Shigeru Sakaguchi (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider the functional Ω ( v ) = Ω [ f ( | D v | ) - v ] d x , where Ω is a bounded domain and f is a convex function. Under general assumptions on f , Crasta [Cr1] has shown that if Ω admits a minimizer in W 0 1 , 1 ( Ω ) depending only on the distance from the boundary of Ω , then Ω must be a ball. With some restrictions on f , we prove that spherical symmetry can be obtained only by assuming that the minimizer has one level surface parallel to the boundary (i.e. it has only a level surface in common with the distance). We then discuss how these...

Symmetry of solutions of semilinear elliptic problems

Jean Van Schaftingen, Michel Willem (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study symmetry properties of least energy positive or nodal solutions of semilinear elliptic problems with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. The proof is based on symmetrizations in the spirit of Bartsch, Weth and Willem (J. Anal. Math., 2005) together with a strong maximum principle for quasi-continuous functions of Ancona and an intermediate value property for such functions.

T-coercivity for scalar interface problems between dielectrics and metamaterials

Anne-Sophie Bonnet-Ben Dhia, Lucas Chesnel, Patrick Ciarlet (2012)

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

Some electromagnetic materials have, in a given frequency range, an effective dielectric permittivity and/or a magnetic permeability which are real-valued negative coefficients when dissipation is neglected. They are usually called metamaterials. We study a scalar transmission problem between a classical dielectric material and a metamaterial, set in an open, bounded subset of Rd, with d = 2,3. Our aim is to characterize occurences where the problem is well-posed within the Fredholm (or coercive...

The Dirichlet problem with sublinear nonlinearities

Aleksandra Orpel (2002)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We investigate the existence of solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the differential inclusion 0 Δ x ( y ) + x G ( y , x ( y ) ) for a.e. y ∈ Ω, which is a generalized Euler-Lagrange equation for the functional J ( x ) = Ω 1 / 2 | x ( y ) | ² - G ( y , x ( y ) ) d y . We develop a duality theory and formulate the variational principle for this problem. As a consequence of duality, we derive the variational principle for minimizing sequences of J. We consider the case when G is subquadratic at infinity.

The existence of positive solution to some asymptotically linear elliptic equations in exterior domains.

Gongbao Li, Gao-Feng Zheng (2006)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

In this paper, we are concerned with the asymptotically linear elliptic problem -Δu + λ0u = f(u), u ∈ H01(Ω) in an exterior domain Ω = RnO (N ≥ 3) with O a smooth bounded and star-shaped open set, and limt→+∞ f(t)/t = l, 0 < l < +∞. Using a precise deformation lemma and algebraic topology argument, we prove under our assumptions that the problem possesses at least one positive solution.
