In this paper, we investigate the Dirichlet weighted eigenvalues problem of a fourth-order elliptic operator with variable coefficients on a bounded domain with smooth boundary in ? ⁿ . We establish some inequalities for lower-order eigenvalues of this problem. In particular, our results contain an inequality for eigenvalues of the biharmonic operator derived by Cheng, Huang, and Wei.

A mixed finite-element method for fourth-order elliptic problems with variable coefficients

A new mixed finite-element method for the solution of the Dirichlet problem of fourth-order elliptic partial differential equations with variable coefficients on a convex polygon has been developed in this paper. Biharmonic and bending problems of elastic plates, for which this technique allows a simultaneous approximation to the deflection, components of the change in curvature tensor and the bending and twisting moments, are the particular cases of the problem considered in the paper. Error estimate for the mixed finite-element solution has been given.     

Estimates for eigenvalues of quasilinear elliptic systems

In this paper we introduce the generalized eigenvalues of a quasilinear elliptic system of resonant type. We prove the existence of infinitely many continuous eigencurves, which are obtained by variational methods. For the one-dimensional problem, we obtain an hyperbolic type function defining a region which contains all the generalized eigenvalues (variational or not), and the proof is based on a suitable generalization of Lyapunov's inequality for systems of ordinary differential equations. We also obtain a family of curves bounding by above the kth variational eigencurve.     

Estimates for eigenvalues of Laplacian operator with any order

Let D be a bounded domain in an n-dimensional Euclidean space Rn. Assume that 0 ＜ λ1 ≤λ2 ≤ … ≤ λκ ≤ … are the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian operator with any order l{(-△)lu=λu, in D u=(δ)u/(δ)(→n)=…(δ)l-1u/(δ)(→n)l-1=0,on (δ)D.Then we obtain an upper bound of the (k 1)-th eigenvalue λκ 1 in terms of the first k eigenvalues.k∑i=1(λκ 1-λi) ≤ 1/n[4l(n 2l-2)]1/2{k∑i=1(λκ 1-λi)1/2λil-1/l k∑i=1(λκ 1-λi)1/2λ1/li}1/2.This ineguality is independent of the domain D. Furthermore, for any l ≥ 3 the above inequality is better than all the known results. Our rusults are the natural generalization of inequalities corresponding to the case l = 2 considered by Qing-Ming Cheng and Hong-Cang Yang. When l = 1, our inequalities imply a weaker form of Yang inequalities. We aslo reprove an implication claimed by Cheng and Yang.     

Estimates for eigenvalues of the Paneitz operator

For an n  -dimensional compact submanifold Mⁿ$M^n$ in the Euclidean space R^N${\mathbf{R}}^N$, we study estimates for eigenvalues of the Paneitz operator on Mⁿ$M^n$. Our estimates for eigenvalues are sharp.     

Spectral properties of a fourth-order differential operator with integrable coefficients

The aim of this paper is to study spectral properties of differential operators with integrable coefficients and a constant weight function. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a differential equation with integrable coefficients for large values of the spectral parameter. To find the asymptotic behavior of solutions, we reduce the differential equation to a Volterra integral equation. We also obtain asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues of some boundary value problems related to the differential operator under consideration.     

Two-sided bounds of eigenvalues of second-and fourth-order elliptic operators

This article presents an idea in the finite element methods (FEMs) for obtaining two-sided bounds of exact eigenvalues. This approach is based on the combination of nonconforming methods giving lower bounds of the eigenvalues and a postprocessing technique using conforming finite elements. Our results hold for the second and fourth-order problems defined on two-dimensional domains. First, we list analytic and experimental results concerning triangular and rectangular nonconforming elements which give at least asymptotically lower bounds of the exact eigenvalues. We present some new numerical experiments for the plate bending problem on a rectangular domain. The main result is that if we know an estimate from below by nonconforming FEM, then by using a postprocessing procedure we can obtain two-sided bounds of the first (essential) eigenvalue. For the other eigenvalues λ_l, l = 2, 3, …, we prove and give conditions when this method is applicable. Finally, the numerical results presented and discussed in the paper illustrate the efficiency of our method.     

High-order methods for elliptic equations with variable coefficients

In this article, we give a simple method for developing finite difference schemes on a uniform square gird. We consider a general, two-dimensional, second-order, partial differential equation with variable coefficients. In the case of a nine-point scheme, we obtain the known results of Young and Dauwalder in a fairly elegant fashion. We show how this can be extended to obtain fourth-order schemes on thirteen points. We derive two such schemes which are attractive because they can be adapted quite easily bnto obtain formulas for gird points near the boundary. In addition to this, these formulas only require nine evaluations for the typical forcing function. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the performance of one of the fourth-order schemes.     

Tensor method for optimal control problems constrained by fractional three-dimensional elliptic operator with variable coefficients

We introduce the tensor numerical method for solving optimal control problems that are constrained by fractional two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) elliptic operators with variable coefficients. We solve the governing equation for the control function which includes a sum of the fractional operator and its inverse, both discretized over large 3D $n\times n\times n$ spacial grids. Using the diagonalization of the arising matrix-valued functions in the eigenbasis of the one-dimensional Sturm–Liouville operators, we construct the rank-structured tensor approximation with controllable precision for the discretized fractional elliptic operators and the respective preconditioner. The right-hand side in the constraining equation (the optimal design function) is supposed to be represented in a form of a low-rank canonical tensor. Then the equation for the control function is solved in a tensor structured format by using preconditioned CG iteration with the adaptive rank truncation procedure that also ensures the accuracy of calculations, given an $\epsilon$-threshold. This method reduces the numerical cost for solving the control problem to $O(n\log n)$ (plus the quadratic term $O(n^2)$ with a small weight), which outperforms traditional approaches with $O(n^3\log n)$ complexity in the 3D case. The storage for the representation of all 3D nonlocal operators and functions involved is also estimated by $O(n\log n)$. This essentially outperforms the traditional methods operating with fully populated $n^3\times n^3$ matrices and vectors in ${?}^{n^3}$. Numerical tests for 2D/3D control problems indicate the almost linear complexity scaling of the rank truncated preconditioned conjugate gradient iteration in the univariate grid size n.

Estimates for solutions of retarded equations with variable coefficients

In this work, we study retarded-type differential-difference equations with variable coefficients. Using the adjoint equation, we obtain an integral representation of the solution. A number of results on the asymptotic behavior of the solutions is proved on the basis of this representation. __________ Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 12, No. 5, pp. 83–93, 2006.     

Estimates for eigenvalues of quasilinear elliptic systems. Part II

In this paper we find explicit lower bounds for Dirichlet eigenvalues of a weighted quasilinear elliptic system of resonant type in terms of the eigenvalues of a single p-Laplace equation. Also we obtain asymptotic bounds by studying the spectral counting function which is defined as the number of eigenvalues smaller than a given value.
