Moving mesh for the axisymmetric harmonic map flow

Benoit Merlet, Morgan Pierre (2005)

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

We build corotational symmetric solutions to the harmonic map flow from the unit disc into the unit sphere which have constant degree. First, we prove the existence of such solutions, using a time semi-discrete scheme based on the idea that the harmonic map flow is the L 2 -gradient of the relaxed Dirichlet energy. We prove a partial uniqueness result concerning these solutions. Then, we compute numerically these solutions by a moving-mesh method which allows us to deal with the singularity at the...

Multiscale expansion and numerical approximation for surface defects⋆

V. Bonnaillie-Noël, D. Brancherie, M. Dambrine, F. Hérau, S. Tordeux, G. Vial (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

This paper is a survey of articles [5, 6, 8, 9, 13, 17, 18]. We are interested in the influence of small geometrical perturbations on the solution of elliptic problems. The cases of a single inclusion or several well-separated inclusions have been deeply studied. We recall here techniques to construct an asymptotic expansion. Then we consider moderately close inclusions, i.e. the distance between the inclusions tends to zero more slowly than their characteristic size. We provide a complete asymptotic...
