On FE-grid relocation in solving unilateral boundary value problems by FEM

Jaroslav Haslinger, Pekka Neittaanmäki, Kimmo Salmenjoki (1992)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider FE-grid optimization in elliptic unilateral boundary value problems. The criterion used in grid optimization is the total potential energy of the system. It is shown that minimization of this cost functional means a decrease of the discretization error or a better approximation of the unilateral boundary conditions. Design sensitivity analysis is given with respect to the movement of nodal points. Numerical results for the Dirichlet-Signorini problem for the Laplace equation and the...

On Fredholm alternative for certain quasilinear boundary value problems

Pavel Drábek (2002)

Mathematica Bohemica

We study the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the p -Laplacian of the form - Δ p u - λ 1 | u | p - 2 u = f in Ω , u = 0 on Ω , where Ω N is a bounded domain with smooth boundary Ω , N 1 , p > 1 , f C ( Ω ¯ ) and λ 1 > 0 is the first eigenvalue of Δ p . We study the geometry of the energy functional E p ( u ) = 1 p Ω | u | p - λ 1 p Ω | u | p - Ω f u and show the difference between the case 1 < p < 2 and the case p > 2 . We also give the characterization of the right hand sides f for which the above Dirichlet problem is solvable and has multiple solutions.

On general boundary value problems and duality in linear elasticity. II

Rolf Hünlich, Joachim Naumann (1980)

Aplikace matematiky

The present part of the paper completes the discussion in Part I in two directions. Firstly, in Section 5 a number of existence theorems for a solution to Problem III (principle of minimum potential energy) is established. Secondly, Section 6 and 7 are devoted to a discussion of both the classical and the abstract approach to the duality theory as well as the relationship between the solvability of Problem III and its dual one.

On general solvability properties of p -Lapalacian-like equations

Pavel Drábek, Christian G. Simader (2002)

Mathematica Bohemica

We discuss how the choice of the functional setting and the definition of the weak solution affect the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the equation - Δ p u = f in Ω , where Ω is a very general domain in N , including the case Ω = N .

On Hölder regularity for elliptic equations of non-divergence type in the plane

Albert Baernstein II, Leonid V. Kovalev (2005)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

This paper is concerned with strong solutions of uniformly elliptic equations of non-divergence type in the plane. First, we use the notion of quasiregular gradient mappings to improve Morrey’s theorem on the Hölder continuity of gradients of solutions. Then we show that the Gilbarg-Serrin equation does not produce the optimal Hölder exponent in the considered class of equations. Finally, we propose a conjecture for the best possible exponent and prove it under an additional restriction.
