On Signorini problem for von Kármán equations. The case of angular domain

Jan Franců (1979)

Aplikace matematiky

The paper deals with the generalized Signorini problem. The used method of pseudomonotone semicoercive operator inequality is introduced in the paper by O. John. The existence result for smooth domains from the paper by O. John is extended to technically significant "angular" domains. The crucial point of the proof is the estimation of the nonlinear term which appears in the operator form of the problem. The substantial technical difficulties connected with non-smoothness of the boundary are overcome...

On the binding of polarons in a mean-field quantum crystal

Mathieu Lewin, Nicolas Rougerie (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider a multi-polaron model obtained by coupling the many-body Schrödinger equation for N interacting electrons with the energy functional of a mean-field crystal with a localized defect, obtaining a highly non linear many-body problem. The physical picture is that the electrons constitute a charge defect in an otherwise perfect periodic crystal. A remarkable feature of such a system is the possibility to form a bound state of electrons via their interaction with the polarizable background....

On the Convergence of the Approximate Free Boundary for the Parabolic Obstacle Problem

Paola Pietra, Claudio Verdi (1985)

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

Si discretizza il problema dell'ostacolo parabolico con differenze all'indietro nel tempo ed elementi finiti lineari nello spazio e si dimostrano stime dell'errore per la frontiera libera discreta.

On the double critical-state model for type-II superconductivity in 3D

Yohei Kashima (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper we mathematically analyse an evolution variational inequality which formulates the double critical-state model for type-II superconductivity in 3D space and propose a finite element method to discretize the formulation. The double critical-state model originally proposed by Clem and Perez-Gonzalez is formulated as a model in 3D space which characterizes the nonlinear relation between the electric field, the electric current, the perpendicular component of the electric current...

On the equivalence of variational problems. II

Jan Chrastina (1993)

Archivum Mathematicum

Elements of general theory of infinitely prolonged underdetermined systems of ordinary differential equations are outlined and applied to the equivalence of one-dimensional constrained variational integrals. The relevant infinite-dimensional variant of Cartan’s moving frame method expressed in quite elementary terms proves to be surprisingly efficient in solution of particular equivalence problems, however, most of the principal questions of the general theory remains unanswered. New concepts of...
