Coefficients of the singularities on domains with conical points

Monique Dauge, Serge Nicaise (1992)

Banach Center Publications

As a model for elliptic boundary value problems, we consider the Dirichlet problem for an elliptic operator. Solutions have singular expansions near the conical points of the domain. We give formulas for the coefficients in these expansions.

Convex shape optimization for the least biharmonic Steklov eigenvalue

Pedro Ricardo Simão Antunes, Filippo Gazzola (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The least Steklov eigenvalue d1 for the biharmonic operator in bounded domains gives a bound for the positivity preserving property for the hinged plate problem, appears as a norm of a suitable trace operator, and gives the optimal constant to estimate the L2-norm of harmonic functions. These applications suggest to address the problem of minimizing d1 in suitable classes of domains. We survey the existing results and conjectures about this topic; in particular, the existence of a convex domain...

Covariant differential operators and Green's functions

Miroslav Engliš, Jaak Peetre (1997)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

The basic idea of this paper is to use the covariance of a partial differential operator under a suitable group action to determine suitable associated Green’s functions. For instance, we offer a new proof of a formula for Green’s function of the mth power Δ m of the ordinary Laplace’s operator Δ in the unit disk found in a recent paper (Hayman-Korenblum, J. Anal. Math. 60 (1993), 113-133). We also study Green’s functions associated with mth powers of the Poincaré invariant Laplace operator . It turns...

Curved triangular finite C m -elements

Alexander Ženíšek (1978)

Aplikace matematiky

Curved triangular C m -elements which can be pieced together with the generalized Bell’s C m -elements are constructed. They are applied to solving the Dirichlet problem of an elliptic equation of the order 2 ( m + 1 ) in a domain with a smooth boundary by the finite element method. The effect of numerical integration is studied, sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the approximate solution are presented and the rate of convergence is estimated. The rate of convergence is the same as in the...
