Mixed finite element approximation of an MHD problem involving conducting and insulating regions : the 2D case

Jean Luc Guermond, Peter D. Minev (2002)

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

We show that the Maxwell equations in the low frequency limit, in a domain composed of insulating and conducting regions, has a saddle point structure, where the electric field in the insulating region is the Lagrange multiplier that enforces the curl-free constraint on the magnetic field. We propose a mixed finite element technique for solving this problem, and we show that, under mild regularity assumption on the data, Lagrange finite elements can be used as an alternative to edge elements.

Mixed formulation of elliptic variational inequalities and its approximation

Jaroslav Haslinger (1981)

Aplikace matematiky

The approximation of a mixed formulation of elliptic variational inequalities is studied. Mixed formulation is defined as the problem of finding a saddle-point of a properly chosen Lagrangian 2 on a certain convex set K x Λ . Sufficient conditions, guaranteeing the convergence of approximate solutions are studied. Abstract results are applied to concrete examples.

Model problems from nonlinear elasticity: partial regularity results

Menita Carozza, Antonia Passarelli di Napoli (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we prove that every weak and strong local minimizer u W 1 , 2 ( Ω , 3 ) of the functional I ( u ) = Ω | D u | 2 + f ( Adj D u ) + g ( det D u ) , where u : Ω 3 3 , f grows like | Adj D u | p , g grows like | det D u | q and 1<q<p<2, is C 1 , α on an open subset Ω 0 of Ω such that 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠 ( Ω Ω 0 ) = 0 . Such functionals naturally arise from nonlinear elasticity problems. The key point in order to obtain the partial regularity result is to establish an energy estimate of Caccioppoli type, which is based on an appropriate choice of the test functions. The limit case p = q 2 is also treated for weak local minimizers. ...

Module structure in Conley theory with some applications

Zdzisław Dzedzej (2014)

Banach Center Publications

A multiplicative structure in the cohomological version of Conley index is described following a joint paper by the author with K. Gęba and W. Uss. In the case of equivariant flows we apply a normalization procedure known from equivariant degree theory and we propose a new continuation invariant. The theory is applied then to obtain a mountain pass type theorem. Another illustrative application is a result on multiple bifurcations for some elliptic PDE.

Moltiplicatori spettrali per l'operatore di Ornstein-Uhlenbeck

Giancarlo Mauceri (2004)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Questa è una rassegna di alcuni risultati recenti sui moltiplicatori spettrali dell'operatore di Ornstein-Uhlenbeck, un laplaciano naturale sullo spazio euclideo munito della misura gaussiana. I risultati sono inquadrati nell'ambito della teoria generale dei moltiplicatori spettrali per laplaciani generalizzati.
