T-coercivity for scalar interface problems between dielectrics and metamaterials

Anne-Sophie Bonnet-Ben Dhia, Lucas Chesnel, Patrick Ciarlet (2012)

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

Some electromagnetic materials have, in a given frequency range, an effective dielectric permittivity and/or a magnetic permeability which are real-valued negative coefficients when dissipation is neglected. They are usually called metamaterials. We study a scalar transmission problem between a classical dielectric material and a metamaterial, set in an open, bounded subset of Rd, with d = 2,3. Our aim is to characterize occurences where the problem is well-posed within the Fredholm (or coercive...

The Calderón problem with partial data

Johannes Sjöstrand (2004)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

We describe a joint work with C.E. Kenig and G. Uhlmann [9] where we improve an earlier result by Bukhgeim and Uhlmann [1], by showing that in dimension n 3 , the knowledge of the Cauchy data for the Schrödinger equation measured on possibly very small subsets of the boundary determines uniquely the potential. We follow the general strategy of [1] but use a richer set of solutions to the Dirichlet problem.

The Cauchy problem for the magneto-hydrodynamic system

Marco Cannone, Changxing Miao, Nicolas Prioux, Baoquan Yuan (2006)

Banach Center Publications

We study the uniqueness and regularity of Leray-Hopf's weak solutions for the MHD equations with dissipation and resistance in different frameworks. Using different kinds of space-time estimates in conjunction with the Littlewood-Paley-Bony decomposition, we present some general criteria of uniqueness and regularity of weak solutions to the MHD system, and prove the uniqueness and regularity criterion in the framework of mixed space-time Besov spaces by applying Tao's trichotomy method.

The change in electric potential due to lightning

William W. Hager, Beyza Caliskan Aslan (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The change in the electric potential due to lightning is evaluated. The potential along the lightning channel is a constant which is the projection of the pre-flash potential along a piecewise harmonic eigenfunction which is constant along the lightning channel. The change in the potential outside the lightning channel is a harmonic function whose boundary conditions are expressed in terms of the pre-flash potential and the post-flash potential along the lightning channel. The expression for the...

The quasineutral limit problem in semiconductors sciences

Ling Hsiao (2004)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

The mathematical analysis on various mathematical models arisen in semiconductor science has attracted a lot of attention in both applied mathematics and semiconductor physics. It is important to understand the relations between the various models which are different kind of nonlinear system of P.D.Es. The emphasis of this paper is on the relation between the drift-diffusion model and the diffusion equation. This is given by a quasineutral limit from the DD model to the diffusion equation.

Theoretical and numerical study of a quasi-linear Zakharov system describing Landau damping

R. Belaouar, T. Colin, G. Gallice, C. Galusinski (2006)

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

In this paper, we study a Zakharov system coupled to an electron diffusion equation in order to describe laser-plasma interactions. Starting from the Vlasov-Maxwell system, we derive a nonlinear Schrödinger like system which takes into account the energy exchanged between the plasma waves and the electrons via Landau damping. Two existence theorems are established in a subsonic regime. Using a time-splitting, spectral discretizations for the Zakharov system and a finite difference scheme for the...

Time domain decomposition in final value optimal control of the Maxwell system

John E. Lagnese, G. Leugering (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider a boundary optimal control problem for the Maxwell system with a final value cost criterion. We introduce a time domain decomposition procedure for the corresponding optimality system which leads to a sequence of uncoupled optimality systems of local-in-time optimal control problems. In the limit full recovery of the coupling conditions is achieved, and, hence, the local solutions and controls converge to the global ones. The process is inherently parallel and is suitable for real-time...

Time-dependent electromagnetic waves in a cavity

Bo Kjellmert, Thomas Strömberg (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

The electromagnetic initial-boundary value problem for a cavity enclosed by perfectly conducting walls is considered. The cavity medium is defined by its permittivity and permeability which vary continuously in space. The electromagnetic field comes from a source in the cavity. The field is described by a magnetic vector potential 𝐀 satisfying a wave equation with initial-boundary conditions. This description through 𝐀 is rigorously shown to give a unique solution of the problem and is the starting...
