On the variational inequality approach to compressible flows via hodograph method.

Lisa Santos (1993)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We study the flow of a compressible, stationary and irrotational fluid with wake, in a channel, around a convex symmetric profile, with assigned velocity q-infinity at infinity and q-s < q-infinity at the wake. In particular, we study the regularity of the free boundary (for a problem which has non-constant coefficients), in the hodograph plane.

On the Weak Solutions of the McKendrick Equation: Existence of Demography Cycles

R. Dilão, A. Lakmeche (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We develop the qualitative theory of the solutions of the McKendrick partial differential equation of population dynamics. We calculate explicitly the weak solutions of the McKendrick equation and of the Lotka renewal integral equation with time and age dependent birth rate. Mortality modulus is considered age dependent. We show the existence of demography cycles. For a population with only one reproductive age class, independently of the stability of the weak solutions and after a transient time,...

On Threshold Eigenvalues and Resonances for the Linearized NLS Equation

V. Vougalter (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We prove the instability of threshold resonances and eigenvalues of the linearized NLS operator. We compute the asymptotic approximations of the eigenvalues appearing from the endpoint singularities in terms of the perturbations applied to the original NLS equation. Our method involves such techniques as the Birman-Schwinger principle and the Feshbach map.

On time-harmonic Maxwell equations with nonhomogeneous conductivities: Solvability and FE-approximation

Michal Křížek, Pekka Neittaanmäki (1989)

Aplikace matematiky

The solvability of time-harmonic Maxwell equations in the 3D-case with nonhomogeneous conductivities is considered by adapting Sobolev space technique and variational formulation of the problem in question. Moreover, a finite element approximation is presented in the 3D-case together with an error estimate in the energy norm. Some remarks are given to the 2D-problem arising from geophysics.

On various types of viscous two-fluid flows

Jürgen Socolowsky (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Viscous two-fluid flows arise in different kinds of coating technologies. Frequently, the corresponding mathematical models represent two-dimensional free boundary value problems for the Navier-Stokes equations or their modifications. In this review article we present some results about nonisothermal stationary as well as about isothermal evolutionary viscous flow problems. The temperature-depending problems are characterized by coupled heat- and mass transfer and also by thermocapillary convection....
