Spectral element discretization of the heat equation with variable diffusion coefficient

Y. Daikh, W. Chikouche (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We are interested in the discretization of the heat equation with a diffusion coefficient depending on the space and time variables. The discretization relies on a spectral element method with respect to the space variables and Euler's implicit scheme with respect to the time variable. A detailed numerical analysis leads to optimal a priori error estimates.

Square functions of Calderón type and applications.

Steve Hofmann, John L. Lewis (2001)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We establish L2 and Lp bounds for a class of square functions which arises in the study of singular integrals and boundary value problems in non-smooth domains. As an application, we present a simplified treatment of a class of parabolic smoothing operators which includes the caloric single layer potential on the boundary of certain minimally smooth, non-cylindrical domains.

Switching control

Enrique Zuazua (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We analyze the problem of switching controls for control systems endowed with different actuators. The goal is to control the dynamics of the system by switching from an actuator to the other in a systematic way so that, in each instant of time, only one actuator is active. We first address a finite-dimensional model and show that, under suitable rank conditions, switching control strategies exist and can be built in a systematic way. To do this we introduce a new variational principle building...
