Nonlinear homogeneous eigenvalue problem in R N : nonstandard variational approach

Pavel Drábek, Zakaria Moudan, Abdelfettah Touzani (1997)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The nonlinear eigenvalue problem for p-Laplacian - div ( a ( x ) | u | p - 2 u ) = λ g ( x ) | u | p - 2 u in N , u > 0 in N , lim | x | u ( x ) = 0 , is considered. We assume that 1 < p < N and that g is indefinite weight function. The existence and C 1 , α -regularity of the weak solution is proved.

Non-local Gel'fand problem in higher dimensions

Tosiya Miyasita, Takashi Suzuki (2004)

Banach Center Publications

The non-local Gel’fand problem, Δ v + λ e v / Ω e v d x = 0 with Dirichlet boundary condition, is studied on an n-dimensional bounded domain Ω. If it is star-shaped, then we have an upper bound of λ for the existence of the solution. We also have infinitely many bendings in λ of the connected component of the solution set in λ,v if Ω is a ball and 3 ≤ n ≤ 9.

Normal form of the wave group and inverse spectral theory

Steve Zelditch (1998)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

This talk will describe some results on the inverse spectral problem on a compact riemannian manifold (possibly with boundary) which are based on V. Guillemin's strategy of normal forms. It consists of three steps : first, put the wave group into a normal form around each closed geodesic. Second, determine the normal form from the spectrum of the laplacian. Third, determine the metric from the normal form. We will try to explain all three steps and to illustrate with simple examples such as surfaces...

Nouvelles propriétés des courbes et relation de dispersion en élasticité linéaire

Tark Bouhennache, Yves Dermenjian (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In the case of an elastic strip we exhibit two properties of dispersion curves λn,n ≥ 1, that were not pointed out previously. We show cases where λ'n(0) = λ''n(0) = λ'''n(0) = 0 and we point out that these curves are not automatically monotoneous on + . The non monotonicity was an open question (see [2], for example) and, for the first time, we give a rigourous answer. Recall the characteristic property of the dispersion curves: {λn(p);n ≥ 1} is the set of eigenvalues of Ap, counted with their...

Numerical analysis of the adiabatic variable method for the approximation of the nuclear hamiltonian

Yvon Maday, Gabriel Turinici (2001)

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

Many problems in quantum chemistry deal with the computation of fundamental or excited states of molecules and lead to the resolution of eigenvalue problems. One of the major difficulties in these computations lies in the very large dimension of the systems to be solved. Indeed these eigenfunctions depend on 3 n variables where n stands for the number of particles (electrons and/or nucleari) in the molecule. In order to diminish the size of the systems to be solved, the chemists have proposed many...

Numerical analysis of the planewave discretization of some orbital-free and Kohn-Sham models

Eric Cancès, Rachida Chakir, Yvon Maday (2012)

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

In this article, we provide a priorierror estimates for the spectral and pseudospectral Fourier (also called planewave) discretizations of the periodic Thomas-Fermi-von Weizsäcker (TFW) model and for the spectral discretization of the periodic Kohn-Sham model, within the local density approximation (LDA). These models allow to compute approximations of the electronic ground state energy and density of molecular systems in the condensed phase. The TFW model is strictly convex with respect to the...
