Generalized Backscattering and the Lax-Phillips Transform

Melrose, Richard, Uhlmann, Gunther (2008)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35P25, 35R30, 58J50.Using the free-space translation representation (modified Radon transform) of Lax and Phillips in odd dimensions, it is shown that the generalized backscattering transform (so outgoing angle w = Sq in terms of the incoming angle with S orthogonal and Id-S invertible) may be further restricted to give an entire, globally Fredholm, operator on appropriate Sobolev spaces of potentials with compact support. As a corollary we show that the...

Generalized combined field integral equations for the iterative solution of the three-dimensional Helmholtz equation

Xavier Antoine, Marion Darbas (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper addresses the derivation of new second-kind Fredholm combined field integral equations for the Krylov iterative solution of tridimensional acoustic scattering problems by a smooth closed surface. These integral equations need the introduction of suitable tangential square-root operators to regularize the formulations. Existence and uniqueness occur for these formulations. They can be interpreted as generalizations of the well-known Brakhage-Werner [A. Brakhage and P. Werner, Arch....

Geometric optics and instability for NLS and Davey-Stewartson models

Rémi Carles, Eric Dumas, Christof Sparber (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study the interaction of (slowly modulated) high frequency waves for multi-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equations with Gauge invariant power-law nonlinearities and nonlocal perturbations. The model includes the Davey-Stewartson system in its elliptic-elliptic and hyperbolic-elliptic variants. Our analysis reveals a new localization phenomenon for nonlocal perturbations in the high frequency regime and allows us to infer strong instability results on the Cauchy problem in negative order Sobolev...

Geometric optics expansions with amplification for hyperbolic boundary value problems: Linear problems

Jean-François Coulombel, Olivier Guès (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We compute and justify rigorous geometric optics expansions for linear hyperbolic boundary value problems that do not satisfy the uniform Lopatinskii condition. We exhibit an amplification phenomenon for the reflection of small high frequency oscillations at the boundary. Our analysis has two important consequences for such hyperbolic boundary value problems. Firstly, we make precise the optimal energy estimate in Sobolev spaces showing that losses of derivatives must occur from the source terms...

Geometric structure of magnetic walls

Myriam Lecumberry (2005)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

After a short introduction on micromagnetism, we will focus on a scalar micromagnetic model. The problem, which is hyperbolic, can be viewed as a problem of Hamilton-Jacobi, and, similarly to conservation laws, it admits a kinetic formulation. We will use both points of view, together with tools from geometric measure theory, to prove the rectifiability of the singular set of micromagnetic configurations.

Global existence of solutions for the non linear Boltzmann equation of semiconductor physics.

Francisco José Mustieles (1990)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

In this paper we give a proof of the existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions for the nonlinear semiconductor Boltzmann equation. The method used allows to obtain global existence in time and uniqueness for dimensions 1 and 2. For dimension 3 we can only assure local existence in time and uniqueness. First, we define a sequence of solutions for a linearized equation and then, we prove the strong convergence of the sequence in a suitable space. The metod relies on the use of interpolation estimates...

GO++ : a modular lagrangian/eulerian software for Hamilton Jacobi equations of geometric optics type

Jean-David Benamou, Philippe Hoch (2002)

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

We describe both the classical lagrangian and the Eulerian methods for first order Hamilton–Jacobi equations of geometric optic type. We then explain the basic structure of the software and how new solvers/models can be added to it. A selection of numerical examples are presented.

Graphical Processing Unit accelerated Poisson equation solver and its application for calculation of single ion potential in ion-channels

Nikolay A. Simakov, Maria G. Kurnikova (2013)

Molecular Based Mathematical Biology

Poisson and Poisson-Boltzmann equations (PE and PBE) are widely used in molecular modeling to estimate the electrostatic contribution to the free energy of a system. In such applications, PE often needs to be solved multiple times for a large number of system configurations. This can rapidly become a highly demanding computational task. To accelerate such calculations we implemented a graphical processing unit (GPU) PE solver described in this work. The GPU solver performance is compared to that...

Guidance properties of a cylindrical defocusing waveguide

Oldřich John, Charles A. Stuart (1994)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We discuss the propagation of electromagnetic waves of a special form through an inhomogeneous isotropic medium which has a cylindrical symmetry and a nonlinear dielectric response. For the case where this response is of self-focusing type the problem is treated in [1]. Here we continue this study by dealing with a defocusing dielectric response. This tends to inhibit the guidance properties of the medium and so guidance can only be expected provided that the cylindrical stratification is such that...
