Observability properties of a semi-discrete 1d wave equation derived from a mixed finite element method on nonuniform meshes

Sylvain Ervedoza (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The goal of this article is to analyze the observability properties for a space semi-discrete approximation scheme derived from a mixed finite element method of the 1d wave equation on nonuniform meshes. More precisely, we prove that observability properties hold uniformly with respect to the mesh-size under some assumptions, which, roughly, measures the lack of uniformity of the meshes, thus extending the work [Castro and Micu, Numer. Math.102 (2006) 413–462] to nonuniform meshes. Our results...

On strongly stable approximations.

F. Arandiga, V. Caselles (1994)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

In this paper we prove that the convergence of (T - Tn)Tn-k to zero in operator norm (plus some technical conditions) is a sufficient condition for Tn to be a strongly stable approximation to T, thus extending some previous results existing in the literature.

On the existence of multiple principal eigenvalues for some indefinite linear eigenvalue problems.

Jacqueline Fleckinger, Jesús Hernández, François De Thélin (2003)

RACSAM

We study the existence of principal eigenvalues for differential operators of second order which are not necessarily in divergence form. We obtain results concerning multiplicity of principal eigenvalues in both the variational and the general case. Our approach uses systematically the Krein-Rutman theorem and fixed point arguments for the inverse of the spectral radius of some associated problems. We also use a variational characterization for both the self-adjoint and the general case.

On the spectrum of the operator which is a composition of integration and substitution

Ignat Domanov (2008)

Studia Mathematica

Let ϕ: [0,1] → [0,1] be a nondecreasing continuous function such that ϕ(x) > x for all x ∈ (0,1). Let the operator V ϕ : f ( x ) ↦ ∫ 0 ϕ ( x ) f ( t ) d t be defined on L₂[0,1]. We prove that V ϕ has a finite number of nonzero eigenvalues if and only if ϕ(0) > 0 and ϕ(1-ε) = 1 for some 0 < ε < 1. Also, we show that the spectral trace of the operator V ϕ always equals 1.

On torsional rigidity and principal frequencies: an invitation to the Kohler−Jobin rearrangement technique

Lorenzo Brasco (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We generalize to the p-Laplacian Δp a spectral inequality proved by M.-T. Kohler−Jobin. As a particular case of such a generalization, we obtain a sharp lower bound on the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of Δp of a set in terms of its p-torsional rigidity. The result is valid in every space dimension, for every 1 &lt; p &lt; ∞ and for every open set with finite measure. Moreover, it holds by replacing the first eigenvalue with more general optimal Poincaré-Sobolev constants. The method of proof...

Optimal nonlinear transformations of random variables

Aldo Goia, Ernesto Salinelli (2010)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

In this paper we deepen the study of the nonlinear principal components introduced by Salinelli in 1998, referring to a real random variable. New insights on their probabilistic and statistical meaning are given with some properties. An estimation procedure based on spline functions, adapting to a statistical framework the classical Rayleigh–Ritz method, is introduced. Asymptotic properties of the estimator are proved, providing an upper bound for the rate of convergence under suitable mild conditions....
