Finite element solution of the fundamental equations of semiconductor devices. II

Miloš Zlámal (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

In part I of the paper (see Zlámal [13]) finite element solutions of the nonstationary semiconductor equations were constructed. Two fully discrete schemes were proposed. One was nonlinear, the other partly linear. In this part of the paper we justify the nonlinear scheme. We consider the case of basic boundary conditions and of constant mobilities and prove that the scheme is unconditionally stable. Further, we show that the approximate solution, extended to the whole time interval as a piecewise...

Focusing of spherical nonlinear pulses in R1+3. II. Nonlinear caustic.

Rémi Carles, Jeffrey Rauch (2004)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We study spherical pulse like families of solutions to semilinear wave equattions in space time of dimension 1+3 as the pulses focus at a point and emerge outgoing. We emphasize the scales for which the incoming and outgoing waves behave linearly but the nonlinearity has a strong effect at the focus. The focus crossing is described by a scattering operator for the semilinear equation, which broadens the pulses. The relative errors in our approximate solutions are small in the L∞ norm.

Geometric structure of magnetic walls

Myriam Lecumberry (2005)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

After a short introduction on micromagnetism, we will focus on a scalar micromagnetic model. The problem, which is hyperbolic, can be viewed as a problem of Hamilton-Jacobi, and, similarly to conservation laws, it admits a kinetic formulation. We will use both points of view, together with tools from geometric measure theory, to prove the rectifiability of the singular set of micromagnetic configurations.

Guidance properties of a cylindrical defocusing waveguide

Oldřich John, Charles A. Stuart (1994)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We discuss the propagation of electromagnetic waves of a special form through an inhomogeneous isotropic medium which has a cylindrical symmetry and a nonlinear dielectric response. For the case where this response is of self-focusing type the problem is treated in [1]. Here we continue this study by dealing with a defocusing dielectric response. This tends to inhibit the guidance properties of the medium and so guidance can only be expected provided that the cylindrical stratification is such that...

High Frequency limit of the Helmholtz Equations

Jean-David Benamou, François Castella, Thodoros Katsaounis, Benoît Perthame (1999/2000)

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

We derive the high frequency limit of the Helmholtz equations in terms of quadratic observables. We prove that it can be written as a stationary Liouville equation with source terms. Our method is based on the Wigner Transform, which is a classical tool for evolution dispersive equations. We extend its use to the stationary case after an appropriate scaling of the Helmholtz equation. Several specific difficulties arise here; first, the identification of the source term (which does not share the...

Homogenization of the Maxwell equations: Case I. Linear theory

Niklas Wellander (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

The Maxwell equations in a heterogeneous medium are studied. Nguetseng’s method of two-scale convergence is applied to homogenize and prove corrector results for the Maxwell equations with inhomogeneous initial conditions. Compactness results, of two-scale type, needed for the homogenization of the Maxwell equations are proved.

Homogenization of the Maxwell Equations: Case II. Nonlinear conductivity

Niklas Wellander (2002)

Applications of Mathematics

The Maxwell equations with uniformly monotone nonlinear electric conductivity in a heterogeneous medium, which may be non-periodic, are homogenized by two-scale convergence. We introduce a new set of function spaces appropriate for the nonlinear Maxwell system. New compactness results, of two-scale type, are proved for these function spaces. We prove existence of a unique solution for the heterogeneous system as well as for the homogenized system. We also prove that the solutions of the heterogeneous...

L2-stability of the upwind first order finite volume scheme for the Maxwell equations in two and three dimensions on arbitrary unstructured meshes

Serge Piperno (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We investigate sufficient and possibly necessary conditions for the L2 stability of the upwind first order finite volume scheme for Maxwell equations, with metallic and absorbing boundary conditions. We yield a very general sufficient condition, valid for any finite volume partition in two and three space dimensions. We show this condition is necessary for a class of regular meshes in two space dimensions. However, numerical tests show it is not necessary in three space dimensions even on regular...
