Problèmes elliptiques à frontière libre axi-symétriques: Estimation du diamètre de la section au moyen de la capacité

Résumé Le but de cet article est d'estimer la capacité d'un pétit segment [a(1–), a(1+)]×{z=0} du démi-plan := {x = (r, z)|r > 0, z } de ² par rapport à la capacité définie par la norme . Ce résultat est ensuite utilisé pour estimer le diamètre de la surface libre de certains problèmes elliptiques non linéaires.     

Steady vortex rings with swirl in an ideal fluid: asymptotics for some solutions in exterior domains

In this paper, the axisymmetric flow in an ideal fluid outside the infinite cylinder (rd) where (r, , z) denotes the cylindrical co-ordinates in ³ is considered. The motion is with swirl (i.e. the -component of the velocity of the flow is non constant). The (non-dimensional) equation governing the phenomenon is (Pd) displayed below. It is known from e.g. [9] that for the problem without swirl (f _q = 0 in (f)) in the whole space, as the flux constant k tends to 1) dist(0z, A) = O(k ^1/2); diam A = O(exp(–c ₀ k ^3/2));2) k^1/2)_k converges to a vortex cylinder U _m (see (1.2)).We show that for the problem with swirl, as k , 1) holds; if m q + 2 then 2) holds and if m > q + 2 it holds with U _q+2 instead of U _m. Moreover, these results are independent of f ₀, f _q and d > 0.     

Radially Symmetric Functions as Fixed Points of some Logarithmic Operators

In this note we show that for f C((0,); R₊) C¹ ((0,)) with support in [0,), if a function u C¹(R²) is such that support (u⁺) is compact and u(x) = R² f(u(y)) log 1/(|x-y|)dy x, then u is radial. This result is important for some free boundary problems in R² or some axisymmetric ones in Rⁿ.
