Functional a posteriori error estimates for boundary element methods

2019

Functional error estimates are well-established tools for a posteriori error estimation and related adaptive mesh-refinement for the finite element method (FEM). The present work proposes a first functional error estimate for the boundary element method (BEM). One key feature is that the derived error estimates are independent of the BEM discretization and provide guaranteed lower and upper bounds for the unknown error. In particular, our analysis covers Galerkin BEM and the collocation method, what makes the approach of particular interest for scientific computations and engineering applications. Numerical experiments for the Laplace problem confirm the theoretical results.

Funktionaalisia a posteriori virhearvioita Uzawan tyyppisille menetelmille kokoonpuristumattomien virtausten tapauksessa

2012

Stokesin yhtälöllä voidaan kuvata nesteiden ja kaasujen liikettä, jos liike on yksiulotteista tai hidasta. Stokesin yhtälö on yksinkertaistettu ja linearisoitu versio Navier-Stokesin yhtälöistä. Tässä tutkielmassa keskitytään kokoonpuristumattomiin ja viskoottisiin nesteisiin ja kaasuihin. Kokoonpuristumattomuus tarkoittaa sitä, että nesteen tai kaasun tiheys ei muutu ajan suhteen. Viskoottisuus taas tarkoittaa sitä, että nesteillä ja kaasuilla on sisäistä kitkaa, joka muodostuu, kun aineen osaset liikkuvat toistensa suhteen. Vaikka osittaisdifferentiaaliyhtälöiden tutkimus on edennyt viime vuosisadalla hyvinkin nopeasti, on analyyttisen ratkaisun löytäminen vaikeaa tai lähes poikkeuksetta …

Uniqueness, reconstruction and stability for an inverse problem of a semi-linear wave equation

2022

We consider the recovery of a potential associated with a semi-linear wave equation on Rn+1, n > 1. We show that an unknown potential a(x, t) of the wave equation ???u + aum = 0 can be recovered in a H & ouml;lder stable way from the map u|onnx[0,T] ???-> (11, avu|ac >= x[0,T])L2(oc >= x[0,T]). This data is equivalent to the inner product of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map with a measurement function ???. We also prove similar stability result for the recovery of a when there is noise added to the boundary data. The method we use is constructive and it is based on the higher order linearization. As a consequence, we also get a uniqueness result. We also give a detailed presentation of the forw…

An evolutionary Haar-Rado type theorem

2021

AbstractIn this paper, we study variational solutions to parabolic equations of the type $$\partial _t u - \mathrm {div}_x (D_\xi f(Du)) + D_ug(x,u) = 0$$ ∂ t u - div x ( D ξ f ( D u ) ) + D u g ( x , u ) = 0 , where u attains time-independent boundary values $$u_0$$ u 0 on the parabolic boundary and f, g fulfill convexity assumptions. We establish a Haar-Rado type theorem: If the boundary values $$u_0$$ u 0 admit a modulus of continuity $$\omega $$ ω and the estimate $$|u(x,t)-u_0(\gamma )| \le \omega (|x-\gamma |)$$ | u ( x , t ) - u 0 ( γ ) | ≤ ω ( | x - γ | ) holds, then u admits the same modulus of continuity in the spatial variable.

The Hajłasz Capacity Density Condition is Self-improving

2022

We prove a self-improvement property of a capacity density condition for a nonlocal Hajlasz gradient in complete geodesic spaces with a doubling measure. The proof relates the capacity density condition with boundary Poincare inequalities, adapts Keith-Zhong techniques for establishing local Hardy inequalities and applies Koskela-Zhong arguments for proving self-improvement properties of local Hardy inequalities. This leads to a characterization of the Hajlasz capacity density condition in terms of a strict upper bound on the upper Assouad codimension of the underlying set, which shows the self-improvement property of the Hajlasz capacity density condition.

Uniqueness of positive solutions to some Nonlinear Neumann Problems

2017

Using the moving plane method, we obtain a Liouville type theorem for nonnegative solutions of the Neumann problem ⎧ ⎨ ⎩ div (ya∇u(x, y)) = 0, x ∈ Rn,y > 0, lim y→0+yauy(x, y) = −f(u(x, 0)), x ∈ Rn, under general nonlinearity assumptions on the function f : R → R for any constant a ∈ (−1, 1). peerReviewed

The Calderón problem for the fractional Schrödinger equation with drift

2020

We investigate the Calder\'on problem for the fractional Schr\"odinger equation with drift, proving that the unknown drift and potential in a bounded domain can be determined simultaneously and uniquely by an infinite number of exterior measurements. In particular, in contrast to its local analogue, this nonlocal problem does \emph{not} enjoy a gauge invariance. The uniqueness result is complemented by an associated logarithmic stability estimate under suitable apriori assumptions. Also uniqueness under finitely many \emph{generic} measurements is discussed. Here the genericity is obtained through \emph{singularity theory} which might also be interesting in the context of hybrid inverse pro…

The fractional Calderón problem: Low regularity and stability

2017

The Calder\'on problem for the fractional Schr\"odinger equation was introduced in the work \cite{GSU}, which gave a global uniqueness result also in the partial data case. This article improves this result in two ways. First, we prove a quantitative uniqueness result showing that this inverse problem enjoys logarithmic stability under suitable a priori bounds. Second, we show that the results are valid for potentials in scale-invariant $L^p$ or negative order Sobolev spaces. A key point is a quantitative approximation property for solutions of fractional equations, obtained by combining a careful propagation of smallness analysis for the Caffarelli-Silvestre extension and a duality argumen…

Inverse problems for semilinear elliptic PDE with measurements at a single point

2023

We consider the inverse problem of determining a potential in a semilinear elliptic equation from the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. For bounded Euclidean domains we prove that the potential is uniquely determined by the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map measured at a single boundary point, or integrated against a fixed measure. This result is valid even when the Dirichlet data is only given on a small subset of the boundary. We also give related uniqueness results on Riemannian manifolds.
