Theoretical study of a Bénard Marangoni problem

2011

[EN] In this paper we prove the existence of strong solutions for the stationary Benard-Marangoni problem in a finite domain flat on the top, bifurcating from the basic heat conductive state. The Benard-Marangoni problem is a physical phenomenon of thermal convection in which the effects of buoyancy and surface tension are taken into account. This problem is modelled with a system of partial differential equations of the type Navier-Stokes and heat equation. The boundary conditions include crossed boundary conditions involving tangential derivatives of the temperature and normal derivatives of the velocity field. To define tangential derivatives at the boundary, intended in the trace sense,…

Optimal control in models with conductive‐radiative heat transfer

2003

In this paper an optimal control problem for the elliptic boundary value problem with nonlocal boundary conditions is considered. It is shown that the weak solutions of the boundary value problem depend smoothly on the control parameter and that the cost functional of the optimal control problem is Frechet differentiable with respect to the control parameter. Optimalus valdymas modeliuose su laidžiu-radioaktyviu šilumos pernešimu Santrauka Darbe nagrinejamas nelokalaus kraštinio uždavinio optimalaus valdymo uždavinys. Parodyta, kad silpnasis kraštinio uždavinio sprendinys tolydžiai priklauso nuo valdomojo parametro, taigi, optimalaus valdymo tikslo funkcija yra diferencijuojama Freše prasme…

A symmetric Galerkin boundary/domain element method for finite elastic deformations

2000

Abstract The Symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Method (SGBEM) is reformulated for problems of finite elasticity with hyperelastic material and incompressibility, using fundamental solutions related to a (fictitious) homogeneous isotropic and compressible linear elastic material. The proposed formulation contains, besides the standard boundary integrals, domain integrals which account for the problem's nonlinearities through some (fictitious) initial strain and stress fields required to satisfy appropriate “consistency” equations. The boundary/domain integral equation problem so obtained is shown to admit a stationarity principle (a consequence of the Hu-Washizu one), which covers a number…

Mean-field games and two-point boundary value problems

2014

A large population of agents seeking to regulate their state to values characterized by a low density is considered. The problem is posed as a mean-field game, for which solutions depend on two partial differential equations, namely the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and the Fokker-Plank-Kolmogorov equation. The case in which the distribution of agents is a sum of polynomials and the value function is quadratic is considered. It is shown that a set of ordinary differential equations, with two-point boundary value conditions, can be solved in place of the more complicated partial differential equations associated with the problem. The theory is illustrated by a numerical example.

Generalized differential transform method for nonlinear boundary value problem of fractional order

2015

Abstract In this paper the generalized differential transform method is applied to obtain an approximate solution of linear and nonlinear differential equation of fractional order with boundary conditions. Several numerical examples are considered and comparisons with the existing solution techniques are reported. Results show that the method is effective, easier to implement and very accurate when applied for the solution of fractional boundary values problems.

A Boundary Control Approach to an Optimal Shape Design Problem

1989

Abstract We consider the problem of controlling the coincidence set in connection with an obstacle problem. We shall transform the obtained optimal shape design problem into a boundary control problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions.

Boundary value problem with integral condition for a Blasius type equation

2016

The steady motion in the boundary layer along a thin flat plate, which is immersed at zero incidence in a uniform stream with constant velocity, can be described in terms of the solution of the differential equation x'''= -xx'', which satisfies the boundary conditions x(0) = x'(0) = 0, x'(∞) = 1. The author investigates the generalized boundary value problem consisting of the nonlinear third-order differential equation x''' = -trx|x|q-1x'' subject to the integral boundary conditions x(0) = x'(0) = 0, x'(∞) = λ∫0ξx(s) ds, where 0 0 is a parameter. Results on the existence and uniqueness of solutions to boundary value problem are established. An illustrative example is provided.

Thin obstacle problem : Estimates of the distance to the exact solution

2018

We consider elliptic variational inequalities generated by obstacle type problems with thin obstacles. For this class of problems, we deduce estimates of the distance (measured in terms of the natural energy norm) between the exact solution and any function that satisfies the boundary condition and is admissible with respect to the obstacle condition (i.e., they are valid for any approximation regardless of the method by which it was found). Computation of the estimates does not require knowledge of the exact solution and uses only the problem data and an approximation. The estimates provide guaranteed upper bounds of the error (error majorants) and vanish if and only if the approximation c…

A regular variational boundary model for free vibrations of magneto-electro-elastic structures

2011

In this paper a regular variational boundary element formulation for dynamic analysis of two-dimensional magneto-electro-elastic domains is presented. The method is based on a hybrid variational principle expressed in terms of generalized magneto-electro-elastic variables. The domain variables are approximated by using a superposition of weighted regular fundamental solutions of the static magneto-electro-elastic problem, whereas the boundary variables are expressed in terms of nodal values. The variational principle coupled with the proposed discretization scheme leads to the calculation of frequency-independent and symmetric generalized stiffness and mass matrices. The generalized stiffne…
