A mean-value lemma and applications

Alessandro Savo (2001)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We control the gap between the mean value of a function on a submanifold (or a point), and its mean value on any tube around the submanifold (in fact, we give the exact value of the second derivative of the gap). We apply this formula to obtain comparison theorems between eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator, and then to compute the first three terms of the asymptotic time-expansion of a heat diffusion process on convex polyhedrons in euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension. We also write...

A Multiscale Enrichment Procedure for Nonlinear Monotone Operators

Y. Efendiev, J. Galvis, M. Presho, J. Zhou (2014)

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

In this paper, multiscale finite element methods (MsFEMs) and domain decomposition techniques are developed for a class of nonlinear elliptic problems with high-contrast coefficients. In the process, existing work on linear problems [Y. Efendiev, J. Galvis, R. Lazarov, S. Margenov and J. Ren, Robust two-level domain decomposition preconditioners for high-contrast anisotropic flows in multiscale media. Submitted.; Y. Efendiev, J. Galvis and X. Wu, J. Comput.

A non elliptic spectral problem related to the analysis of superconducting micro-strip lines

Anne-Sophie Bonnet-Bendhia, Karim Ramdani (2002)

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

This paper is devoted to the spectral analysis of a non elliptic operator A , deriving from the study of superconducting micro-strip lines. Once a sufficient condition for the self-adjointness of operator A has been derived, we determine its continuous spectrum. Then, we show that A is unbounded from below and that it has a sequence of negative eigenvalues tending to - . Using the Min-Max principle, a characterization of its positive eigenvalues is given. Thanks to this characterization, some conditions...

A non elliptic spectral problem related to the analysis of superconducting micro-strip lines

Anne-Sophie Bonnet-Bendhia, Karim Ramdani (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper is devoted to the spectral analysis of a non elliptic operator A , deriving from the study of superconducting micro-strip lines. Once a sufficient condition for the self-adjointness of operator A has been derived, we determine its continuous spectrum. Then, we show that A is unbounded from below and that it has a sequence of negative eigenvalues tending to -∞. Using the Min-Max principle, a characterization of its positive eigenvalues is given. Thanks to this characterization, some...

A nonlinear eigenvalue problem with indefinite weights related to the Sobolev trace embedding.

Julián Fernández Bonder, Julio D. Rossi (2002)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

In this paper we study the Sobolev trace embedding W1,p(Ω) → LpV (∂Ω), where V is an indefinite weight. This embedding leads to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem where the eigenvalue appears at the (nonlinear) boundary condition. We prove that there exists a sequence of variational eigenvalues λk / +∞ and then show that the first eigenvalue is isolated, simple and monotone with respect to the weight. Then we prove a nonexistence result related to the first eigenvalue and we end this article with the...

A proof of monotony of the Temple quotients in eigenvalue problems

Karel Rektorys (1984)

Aplikace matematiky

If the so-called Collatz method is applied to get twosided estimates of the first eigenvalue λ 1 , the sequences of the so-called Schwarz quatients (which are upper bounds for λ 1 ) and of the so-called Temple quotients (which are lower bounds) are constructed. While monotony of the first sequence was proved many years ago, monotony of the second one has been proved only recently by F. goerisch and J. Albrecht in their common paper “Die Monotonie der Templeschen Quotienten” (ZAMM, in print). In the present...
