The asymptotic behaviour of surfaces with prescribed mean curvature near meeting points of fixed and free boundaries

Frank Müller (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We study the shape of stationary surfaces with prescribed mean curvature in the Euclidean 3-space near boundary points where Plateau boundaries meet free boundaries. In deriving asymptotic expansions at such points, we generalize known results about minimal surfaces due to G. Dziuk. The main difficulties arise from the fact that, contrary to minimal surfaces, surfaces with prescribed mean curvature do not meet the support manifold perpendicularly along their free boundary, in general.

The Back and Forth Nudging algorithm for data assimilation problems : theoretical results on transport equations

Didier Auroux, Maëlle Nodet (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper, we consider the back and forth nudging algorithm that has been introduced for data assimilation purposes. It consists of iteratively and alternately solving forward and backward in time the model equation, with a feedback term to the observations. We consider the case of 1-dimensional transport equations, either viscous or inviscid, linear or not (Burgers’ equation). Our aim is to prove some theoretical results on the convergence,...

The BC-method in Multidimensional Spectral Inverse Problem: Theory and Numerical Illustrations

M. I. Belishev, V. Yu. Gotlib, S. A. Ivanov (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This work is devoted to numerical experiments for multidimensional Spectral Inverse Problems. We check the efficiency of the algorithm based on the BC-method, which exploits relations between Boundary Control Theory and Inverse Problems. As a test, the problem for an ellipse is considered. This case is of interest due to the fact that a field of normal geodesics loses regularity on a nontrivial separation set. The main result is that the BC-algorithm works quite successfully in spite of...

The boundary value problem for Dirac-harmonic maps

Qun Chen, Jürgen Jost, Guofang Wang, Miaomiao Zhu (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Dirac-harmonic maps are a mathematical version (with commuting variables only) of the solutions of the field equations of the non-linear supersymmetric sigma model of quantum field theory. We explain this structure, including the appropriate boundary conditions, in a geometric framework. The main results of our paper are concerned with the analytic regularity theory of such Dirac-harmonic maps. We study Dirac-harmonic maps from a Riemannian surface to an arbitrary compact Riemannian manifold. We...

The BV solution of the parabolic equation with degeneracy on the boundary

Huashui Zhan, Shuping Chen (2016)

Open Mathematics

Consider a parabolic equation which is degenerate on the boundary. By the degeneracy, to assure the well-posedness of the solutions, only a partial boundary condition is generally necessary. When 1 ≤ α < p – 1, the existence of the local BV solution is proved. By choosing some kinds of test functions, the stability of the solutions based on a partial boundary condition is established.

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 Calderón-Zygmund theory for elliptic problems with measure data

Giuseppe Mingione (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We consider non-linear elliptic equations having a measure in the right-hand side, of the type div a ( x , D u ) = μ , and prove differentiability and integrability results for solutions. New estimates in Marcinkiewicz spaces are also given, and the impact of the measure datum density properties on the regularity of solutions is analyzed in order to build a suitable Calderón-Zygmund theory for the problem. All the regularity results presented in this paper are provided together with explicit local a priori estimates.

The continuum reaction-diffusion limit of a stochastic cellular growth model

Stephan Luckhaus, Livio Triolo (2004)

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

A competition-diffusion system, where populations of healthy and malignant cells compete and move on a neutral matrix, is analyzed. A coupled system of degenerate nonlinear parabolic equations is derived through a scaling procedure from the microscopic, Markovian dynamics. The healthy cells move much slower than the malignant ones, such that no diffusion for their density survives in the limit. The malignant cells may locally accumulate, while for the healthy ones an exclusion rule is considered....
