A two-phase problem with Robin conditions on the free boundary
2020
We study for the first time a two-phase free boundary problem in which the solution satisfies a Robin boundary condition. We consider the case in which the solution is continuous across the free boundary and we prove an existence and a regularity result for minimizers of the associated variational problem. Finally, in the appendix, we give an example of a class of Steiner symmetric minimizers. peerReviewed
Existence of viscosity solutions to two-phase problems for fully nonlinear equations with distributed sources
2018
In this paper we construct a viscosity solution of a two-phase free boundary problem for a class of fully nonlinear equation with distributed sources, via an adaptation of the Perron method. Our results extend those in [Caffarelli, 1988], [Wang, 2003] for the homogeneous case, and of [De Silva, Ferrari, Salsa, 2015] for divergence form operators with right hand side.
On Some Properties of the Dirichlet Problem at Resonance
2008
Abstract The boundary value problem at resonance 𝑥″ + 𝑥 = 𝑞 sin 𝑡 + 𝑓(𝑡,𝑥,𝑥′), 𝑥(0) = 0, 𝑥(π) = 0, is considered, where 𝑓 : [0,π] × 𝑹2 → 𝑹 is a bounded Carathéodory function, 𝑞 is a parameter. We state the multiplicity results without assuming that 𝑓 has limits.
Multiple solutions for a discrete boundary value problem involving the p-Laplacian.
2008
Multiple solutions for a discrete boundary value problem involving the p-Laplacian are established. Our approach is based on critical point theory.
Computational stability of an initially radial solution of a growth/dissolution problem in a nonradial implementation
1991
We consider a free boundary problem modelling the growth/dissolution of a crystal. The aim is to investigate the following question: Does the solution to the crystal growth problem posed in two dimensions with radially symmetric initial and boundary condition evolve as a radially symmetric solution?
On Boundary Value Problems for ϕ-Laplacian on the Semi-Infinite Interval
2017
The Dirichlet problem and the problem with functional boundary condition for ϕ-Laplacian on the semi-infinite interval are studied as well as solutions between the lower and upper functions.
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…
Planar systems with critical points: multiple solutions of two-point nonlinear boundary value problems
2005
Abstract Two-point boundary value problems for the second-order ordinary nonlinear differential equations are considered. First, we consider the planar systems equivalent to equation x ″ = f ( x ) , where f ( x ) has multiple zeros and the respective system has centers and saddle points in various combinations. Estimations of the number of solutions are given. Then results are extended to nonautonomous equations which have superlinear behavior at infinity.
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…
Two theorems of N. Wiener for solutions of quasilinear elliptic equations
1985
Relatively little is known about boundary behavior of solutions of quasilinear elliptic partial differential equations as compared to that of harmonic functions. In this paper two results, which in the harmonic case are due to N. Wiener, are generalized to a nonlinear situation. Suppose that G is a bounded domain in R n. We consider functions u: G--~R which are free extremals of the variational integral
