Natural boundary value problems for weighted form laplacians

Wojciech Kozłowski, Antoni Pierzchalski (2008)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

The four natural boundary problems for the weighted form Laplacians L = a d δ + b δ d , a , b > 0 acting on polynomial differential forms in the n -dimensional Euclidean ball are solved explicitly. Moreover, an algebraic algorithm for generating a solution from the boundary data is given in each case.

Necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for elliptic control problems with finitely many pointwise state constraints

Eduardo Casas (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The goal of this paper is to prove the first and second order optimality conditions for some control problems governed by semilinear elliptic equations with pointwise control constraints and finitely many equality and inequality pointwise state constraints. To carry out the analysis we formulate a regularity assumption which is equivalent to the first order optimality conditions. Though the presence of pointwise state constraints leads to a discontinuous adjoint state, we prove that the optimal...

Néel and Cross-Tie wall energies for planar micromagnetic configurations

François Alouges, Tristan Rivière, Sylvia Serfaty (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study a two-dimensional model for micromagnetics, which consists in an energy functional over S 2 -valued vector fields. Bounded-energy configurations tend to be planar, except in small regions which can be described as vortices (Bloch lines in physics). As the characteristic “exchange-length” tends to 0, they converge to planar divergence-free unit norm vector fields which jump along line singularities. We derive lower bounds for the energy, which are explicit functions of the jumps of the limit....

Néel and Cross-Tie Wall Energies for Planar Micromagnetic Configurations

Neumann problems associated to nonhomogeneous differential operators in Orlicz–Sobolev spaces

Mihai Mihăilescu, Vicenţiu Rădulescu (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study a nonlinear Neumann boundary value problem associated to a nonhomogeneous differential operator. Taking into account the competition between the nonlinearity and the bifurcation parameter, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of nontrivial solutions in a related Orlicz–Sobolev space.

New estimates for elliptic equations and Hodge type systems

Jean Bourgain, Haïm Brezis (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We establish new estimates for the Laplacian, the div-curl system, and more general Hodge systems in arbitrary dimension n , with data in L 1 . We also present related results concerning differential forms with coefficients in the limiting Sobolev space W 1 , n .
