Adiabatic approximation for a two-level atom in a light beam

Amandine Aftalion, Francis Nier (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Following the recent experimental realization of synthetic gauge potentials, Jean Dalibard addressed the question whether the adiabatic ansatz could be mathematically justified for a model of an atom in 2 internal states, shone by a quasi resonant laser beam. In this paper, we derive rigorously the asymptotic model guessed by the physicists, and show that this asymptotic analysis contains the information about the presence of vortices. Surprisingly, the main difficulties do not come from the nonlinear...

An analytic method for the initial value problem of the electric field system in vertical inhomogeneous anisotropic media

Valery Yakhno, Ali Sevimlican (2011)

Applications of Mathematics

The time-dependent system of partial differential equations of the second order describing the electric wave propagation in vertically inhomogeneous electrically and magnetically biaxial anisotropic media is considered. A new analytical method for solving an initial value problem for this system is the main object of the paper. This method consists in the following: the initial value problem is written in terms of Fourier images with respect to lateral space variables, then the resulting problem...

An axisymmetric PIC code based on isogeometric analysis⋆

A. Back, A. Crestetto, A. Ratnani, E. Sonnendrücker (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

Isogeometric analysis has been developed recently to use basis functions resulting from the CAO description of the computational domain for the finite element spaces. The goal of this study is to develop an axisymmetric Finite Element PIC code in which specific spline Finite Elements are used to solve the Maxwell equations and the same spline functions serve as shape function for the particles. The computational domain itself is defined using splines...

An eddy current problem in terms of a time-primitive of the electric field with non-local source conditions

Alfredo Bermúdez, Bibiana López-Rodríguez, Rodolfo Rodríguez, Pilar Salgado (2013)

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

The aim of this paper is to analyze a formulation of the eddy current problem in terms of a time-primitive of the electric field in a bounded domain with input current intensities or voltage drops as source data. To this end, we introduce a Lagrange multiplier to impose the divergence-free condition in the dielectric domain. Thus, we obtain a time-dependent weak mixed formulation leading to a degenerate parabolic problem which we prove is well-posed. We propose a finite element method for space...

An electromagnetic damping machine: model, analysis and numerics

A. Buffa, Y. Maday, F. Rapetti (2001)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

In questo lavoro viene considerato il modello bidimensionale completo di sistema elettromagnetico in movimento: le equazioni dei campi elettromagnetici sono accoppiate con quelle della meccanica e il sistema così ottenuto risulta essere non lineare nell'accoppiamento. Vengono analizzate la buona posizione del problema e la regolarità della soluzione continua; si propone inoltre uno schema di discretizzazione di tipo esplicito. Si dimostra la buona posizione e la convergenza della formulazione discreta...

An existence result in nonlinear theory of electromagnetic fields

Dorin Iesan, Antonio Scalia (1991)

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

This paper is concerned with the nonlinear theory of equilibrium for materials which do not conduct electricity. An existence and uniqueness result is established.

An IMEX scheme for reaction-diffusion equations: application for a PEM fuel cell model

István Faragó, Ferenc Izsák, Tamás Szabó, Ákos Kriston (2013)

Open Mathematics

An implicit-explicit (IMEX) method is developed for the numerical solution of reaction-diffusion equations with pure Neumann boundary conditions. The corresponding method of lines scheme with finite differences is analyzed: explicit conditions are given for its convergence in the ‖·‖∞ norm. The results are applied to a model for determining the overpotential in a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell.
