Some Estimations of Positive and Negative Eigenvalues for an Inhomogeneous Membrane
We prove existence of positive solutions for the equation on , arising in the prescribed scalar curvature problem. is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on , is the critical Sobolev exponent, and is a small parameter. The problem can be reduced to a finite dimensional study which is performed with Morse theory.
The author proves the existence of the multi-parameter asymptotic error expansion to the usual five-point difference scheme for Dirichlet problems for the linear and semilinear elliptic PDE on the so-called uniform and nearly uniform domains. This expansion leads, by Richardson extrapolation, to a simple process for accelerating the convergence of the method. A numerical example is given.

The initial boundary-transmission problems for electromagnetic fields in homogeneous and anisotropic media for canonical semi-infinite domains, like halfspaces, wedges and the exterior of half- and quarter-plane obstacles are formulated with the use of complex quaternions. The time-harmonic case was studied by A. Passow in his Darmstadt thesis 1998 in which he treated also the case of an homogeneous and isotropic layer in free space and above an ideally conducting plane. For thin layers and free...
The numerical solution of the model fourth-order elliptic boundary value problem in two dimensions is presented. The iterative procedure in which the biharmonic operator is splitted into two Laplace operators is used. After formulating the finite-difference approximation of the procedure, a formula for the evaluation of the transformed iteration vectors is developed. The Jacobi semi-iterative, Richardson and A.D.I. iterative Poisson solvers are applied to compute one transformed iteration vector....
The paper deals with some mixed finite element methods on a class of anisotropic meshes based on tetrahedra and prismatic (pentahedral) elements. Anisotropic local interpolation error estimates are derived in some anisotropic weighted Sobolev spaces. As particular applications, the numerical approximation by mixed methods of the Laplace equation in domains with edges is investigated where anisotropic finite element meshes are appropriate. Optimal error estimates are obtained using some anisotropic...
