Remarks on perfectly absorbing boundary conditions

A mixed problem imitating the Cauchy problem is considered. This problem is also a mixed problem with perfectly absorbing boundary conditions. A theorem about the form of the problem imitating the Cauchy problem for a scalar operator was given in [3]. Some theorems concerning perfectly absorbing boundary condition can be found in [1], [2].

Necessary quadratic conditions of extremum for discontinuous controls in optimal control problems with mixed constraints

We derive necessary second-order optimality conditions for discontinuous controls in optimal control problems of ordinary differential equations with initial-final state constraints and mixed state-control constraints of equality and inequality type. Under the assumption that the gradients withrespect to the control of active mixed constraints are linearly independent, the necessary conditions follows from a Pontryagin minimum in the problem. Together with sufficient second-order conditions [70], the necessary conditions of the present paper constitute a pair of no-gap conditions.     

Solvability of the Tricomi problem for second order equations of mixed type with degenerate curve on the sides of an angle

In [1]–[6], the author posed and discussed the Tricomi problem of second order mixed equations, but he only consider some special mixed equations. In [3], the author discussed the uniqueness of solutions of the Tricomi problem for some second order mixed equation with nonsmooth degenerate line. The present paper deals with the Tricomi problem for general second order mixed equations with degenerate curve on the sides of an angle. I first give the formulation of the above problem, and then prove the solvability of the Tricomi problem for the mixed equations with degenerate curve on the sides of an angle, by using the existence of solutions of the mixed problem for the degenerate elliptic equations (see [11]). Here I mention that the used method in this paper is different to those in other papers or books, because I introduce the new notation (2.1) below, such that the second order equation of mixed type can be reduced to the first order complex equation of mixed type with singular coefficients, hence I can use the advantage of complex analytic method.

Behavior of the formal solution to a mixed problem for the wave equation

The behavior of the formal solution, obtained by the Fourier method, to a mixed problem for the wave equation with arbitrary two-point boundary conditions and the initial condition φ(х) (for zero initial velocity) with weaker requirements than those for the classical solution is analyzed. An approach based on the Cauchy–Poincare technique, consisting in the contour integration of the resolvent of the operator generated by the corresponding spectral problem, is used. Conditions giving the solution to the mixed problem when the wave equation is satisfied only almost everywhere are found. When φ(x) is an arbitrary function from L₂[0, 1], the formal solution converges almost everywhere and is a generalized solution to the mixed problem.     

A nonexistence theorem for an equation with critical Sobolev exponent in the half space

In this paper we prove the nonexistence of positive solutions of the equation-Δu=u^2*-1 inR ₊ ^N with certain homogeneous mixed boundary conditions. The proof is based on a monotonicity theorem obtained using the moving plane methods and some recent results of Berestycki and Nirenberg (see [BN]). The nonexistence theorem is applied to improve a result of [GP] on the characterization of the critical levels of a functional related to some nonlinear elliptic problem with critical Sobolev exponent and mixed boundary conditions.     

Hydrostatic Stokes equations with non-smooth data for mixed boundary conditions

The main subject of this work is to study the concept of very weak solution for the hydrostatic Stokes system with mixed boundary conditions (non-smooth Neumann conditions on the rigid surface and homogeneous Dirichlet conditions elsewhere on the boundary). In the Stokes framework, this concept has been studied by Conca [Rev. Mat. Apl. 10 (1989)] imposing non-smooth Dirichlet boundary conditions.In this paper, we introduce the dual problem that turns out to be a hydrostatic Stokes system with non-free divergence condition. First, we obtain strong regularity for this dual problem (which can be viewed as a generalisation of the regularity results for the hydrostatic Stokes system with free divergence condition obtained by Ziane [Appl. Anal. 58 (1995)]). Afterwards, we prove existence and uniqueness of very weak solution for the (primal) problem.As a consequence of this result, the existence of strong solution for the non-stationary hydrostatic Navier-Stokes equations is proved, weakening the hypothesis over the time derivative of the wind stress tensor imposed by Guillén-González, Masmoudi and Rodríguez-Bellido [Differential Integral Equations 50 (2001)].     

Existence of exact penalty for optimization problems with mixed constraints in Banach spaces

In this paper we use the penalty approach in order to study constrained minimization problems in a Banach space with nonsmooth nonconvex mixed constraints. A penalty function is said to have the exact penalty property [J.-B. Hiriart-Urruty, C. Lemarechal, Convex Analysis and Minimization Algorithms, Springer, Berlin, 1993] if there is a penalty coefficient for which a solution of an unconstrained penalized problem is a solution of the corresponding constrained problem. In this paper we establish sufficient conditions for the exact penalty property.     

Application of the finite integral transform method to solving a mixed problem with integro-differential conditions for a nonclassical equation

We consider a mixed problem with integro-differential boundary conditions for a nonclassical equation. Under certain conditions, we apply a finite integral transform to this problem and obtain a parametric problem. We introduce the notion of proper boundary conditions of the parametric problem, which is wider than the notion of regularity. By applying the inverse integral transform to the solution of the parametric problem, we obtain an analytic representation of the solution of the original mixed problem.     

Application of generalized separation of variables to solving mixed problems with irregular boundary conditions

One of the methods for solving mixed problems is the classical separation of variables (the Fourier method). If the boundary conditions of the mixed problem are irregular, this method, generally speaking, is not applicable. In the present paper, a generalized separation of variables and a way of application of this method to solving some mixed problems with irregular boundary conditions are proposed. Analytical representation of the solution to this irregular mixed problem is obtained.     

Feasibility of the Mixed Postman Problem with Restrictions on the Edges

The mixed postman problem consists of finding a minimum cost tour of a connected mixed graph traversing all its vertices, edges, and arcs at least once. We consider the variant of the mixed postman problem where all edges must be traversed exactly once. The feasibility version of this problem is NP-complete. We introduce an infinite class of necessary conditions for feasibility, which we conjecture are also sufficient. We prove that no finite subset of these conditions is sufficient.

Well-posedness by perturbations of mixed variational inequalities in Banach spaces

In this paper, we consider an extension of the notion of well-posedness by perturbations, introduced by Zolezzi for a minimization problem, to a mixed variational inequality problem in a Banach space. We establish some metric characterizations of the well-posedness by perturbations. We also show that under suitable conditions, the well-posedness by perturbations of a mixed variational inequality problem is equivalent to the well-posedness by perturbations of a corresponding inclusion problem and a corresponding fixed point problem. Also, we derive some conditions under which the well-posedness by perturbations of a mixed variational inequality is equivalent to the existence and uniqueness of its solution.     

Mixed Problem for an Ultraparabolic Equation in Unbounded Domain

We investigate a mixed problem for a nonlinear ultraparabolic equation in a certain domain Q unbounded in the space variables. This equation degenerates on a part of the lateral surface on which boundary conditions are given. We establish conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a solution of the mixed problem for the ultraparabolic equation; these conditions do not depend on the behavior of the solution at infinity. The problem is investigated in generalized Lebesgue spaces.     

Mixed boundary value problems with a shift for a pair of metaanalytic and analytic functions

In this article, we reconsider the mixed boundary value problem on the unit circle for a pair of metaanalytic and analytic functions as in Du and Wang (2008) [9]. By adopting appropriate transformations, we convert the problem into two independent boundary value problems for analytic functions. We then obtain expressions of solution and condition of solvability for the mixed boundary value problem. The forms of the solutions and the condition of solvability here are rather dissimilar to those in Du and Wang (2008) [9]. But the equivalence is established at the end of this article.     

Concentration of solutions for some singularly perturbed mixed problems: Asymptotics of minimal energy solutions

In this paper we carry on the study of asymptotic behavior of some solutions to a singularly perturbed problem with mixed Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions, started in the first paper [J. Garcia Azorero, A. Malchiodi, L. Montoro, I. Peral, Concentration of solutions for some singularly perturbed mixed problems: Existence results, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., in press]. Here we are mainly interested in the analysis of the location and shape of least energy solutions when the singular perturbation parameter tends to zero. We show that in many cases they coincide with the new solutions produced in [J. Garcia Azorero, A. Malchiodi, L. Montoro, I. Peral, Concentration of solutions for some singularly perturbed mixed problems: Existence results, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., in press].     

A problem with wells for the steady diffusion equation

This paper deals with a problem with wells for which nonlocal boundary conditions are given. It is shown that the problem is equivalent to a mixed problem without wells. For this formulation, an error estimate of a mixed finite element method in the 2D case is studied.     

Representation of the solution to a model problem in semiconductor physics

We study a mixed type problem for the Poisson equation arising in the modeling of charge transport in semiconductor devices [V. Romano, 2D simulation of a silicon MESFET with a non-parabolic hydrodynamical model based on the maximum entropy principle, J. Comput. Phys. 176 (2002) 70-92; A.M. Blokhin, R.S. Bushmanov, A.S. Rudometova, V. Romano, Linear asymptotic stability of the equilibrium state for the 2D MEP hydrodynamical model of charge transport in semiconductors, Nonlinear Anal. 65 (2006) 1018-1038]. Unlike well-studied elliptic boundary-value problems in domains with smooth boundaries (see, for example, [O.A. Ladyzhenskaya, N.N. Uralceva, Linear and Quasilinear Elliptic Equations, Nauka, Moscow, 1973; D. Gilbarg, N.S. Trudinger, Elliptic Partial Differential Equations of Second Order, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1983]), our problem has two significant features: firstly, the boundary is not a smooth curve and, secondly, the type of boundary conditions is mixed (the Dirichlet condition is satisfied on the one part of the boundary whereas the Neumann condition on the other part). The well-posedness of the problem in Hölder and Sobolev spaces is proved. The representation of the solution to the problem is obtained in an explicit form.     

Mixed equilibrium problems with Z*-bifunctions and least element problems in Banach lattices

The purpose of this paper is to study the relations among a mixed equilibrium problem, a least element problem and a minimization problem in Banach lattices. We propose the concept of Z*-bifunctions as well as the concept of a feasible set for the mixed equilibrium problem. We prove that the feasible set of the mixed equilibrium problem is a sublattice provided that the associated bifunction is a strictly α-monotone Z*-bifunction. We establish the equivalence of the mixed equilibrium problem, the least element problem and the minimization problem under strict α-monotonicity and Z*-bifunction conditions.
