Domain identification for semilinear elliptic equations in the plane: The zero flux case.
An axisymmetric second order elliptic problem with mixed boundary conditions is considered. The shape of the domain has to be found so as to minimize a cost functional, which is given in terms of the cogradient of the solution. A new dual finite element method is used for approximate solutions. The existence of an optimal domain is proven and a convergence analysis presented.
An axisymmetric second order elliptic problem with mixed boundary conditions is considered. A part of the boundary has to be found so as to minimize one of four types of cost functionals. The existence of an optimal boundary is proven and a convergence analysis for piecewise linear approximate solutions presented, using weighted Sobolev spaces.
Let u be a solution to a second order elliptic equation with singular magnetic fields, vanishing continuously on an open subset Γ of the boundary of a Lipschitz domain. An elementary proof of the doubling property for u² over balls centered at some points near Γ is presented. Moreover, we get the unique continuation at the boundary of Dini domains for elliptic operators.
For an elliptic model problem with non-homogeneous unilateral boundary conditions, two dual variational formulations are presented and justified on the basis of a saddle point theorem. Using piecewise linear finite element models on the triangulation of the given domain, dual numerical procedures are proposed. By means of one-sided approximations, some a priori error estimates are proved, assuming that the solution is sufficiently smooth. A posteriori error estimates and two-sided bounds for the...
A model second order elliptic equation in cylindrical coordinates with mixed boundary conditions is considered. A dual variational formulation is employed to calculate the cogradient of the solution directly. Approximations are defined on the basis of standard finite elements spaces. Convergence analysis and some a posteriori error estimates are presented.
The paper presents a problem of duality for the obstacle and unilateral biharmonic problem (the equilibrium of a thin plate with an obstacle inside the domain or on the boundary). The dual variational inequality is derived by introducing polar functions.
We consider a two-player zero-sum-game in a bounded open domain Ω described as follows: at a point x ∈ Ω, Players I and II play an ε-step tug-of-war game with probability α, and with probability β (α + β = 1), a random point in the ball of radius ε centered at x is chosen. Once the game position reaches the boundary, Player II pays Player I the amount given by a fixed payoff function F. We give a detailed proof of the fact that...
