The Neumann problem for the planar Stokes system

The Neumann problem for the Stokes system is studied on bounded and unbounded domains with Ljapunov boundary (i.e. of class ${{\mathcal C}^{1,\alpha }}$ ) in the plane. We construct a solution of this problem in the form of appropriate potentials and reduce the problem to an integral equation systems on the boundary of the domain. We determine a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of the problem. Then we study the direct integral equation method and prove that a solution of the corresponding integral equation can be obtained by the successive approximation.     

Integral representation of the solution of a Gellerstedt problem

The solution of the Gellerstedt problem for the Lavrent’ev-Bitsadze equation was earlier obtained in the form of a series for the case of a half-strip in the elliptic part of the domain and of nonzero boundary data on the characteristics in the hyperbolic part of the domain. In the present paper, we give an integral representation of the solutions of this problem as well as some related problems.

On representation of the solution of the Neumann problem in a domain with peak by the harmonic simple layer potential

The problem of finding a solution of the Neumann problem for the Laplacian in the form of a simple layer potential Vρ with unknown density ρ is known to be reducible to a boundary integral equation of the second kind to be solved for density. The Neumann problem is examined in a bounded n-dimensional domain Ω⁺ (n > 2) with a cusp of an outward isolated peak either on its boundary or in its complement Ω⁻ = R ⁿ \Ω⁺. Let Γ be the common boundary of the domains Ω^±, Tr(Γ) be the space of traces on Γ of functions with finite Dirichlet integral over R ⁿ , and Tr(Γ)* be the dual space to Tr(Γ). We show that the solution of the Neumann problem for a domain Ω⁻ with a cusp of an inward peak may be represented as Vρ⁻, where ρ⁻ ∈ Tr(Γ)* is uniquely determined for all Ψ⁻ ∈ Tr(Γ)*. If Ω⁺ is a domain with an inward peak and if Ψ⁺ ∈ Tr(Γ)*, Ψ⁺ ⊥ 1, then the solution of the Neumann problem for Ω⁺ has the representation u ⁺ = Vρ⁺ for some ρ⁺ ∈ Tr(Γ)* which is unique up to an additive constant ρ₀, ρ₀ = V ⁻¹(1). These results do not hold for domains with outward peak.     

Adaptive Wavelet Solution to the Stokes Problem

This paper deals with the design and analysis of adaptive wavelet method for the Stokes problem. First, the limitation of Richardson iteration is explained and the multiplied matrix M0 in the paper of Bramble and Pasciak is proved to be the simplest possible in an appropiate sense. Similar to the divergence operator, an exact application of its dual is shown; Second, based on these above observations, an adaptive wavelet algorithm for the Stokes problem is designed. Error analysis and computational complexity are given; Finally, since our algorithm is mainly to deal with an elliptic and positive definite operator equation, the last section is devoted to the Galerkin solution of an elliptic and positive definite equation. It turns out that the upper bound for error estimation may be improved.     

Divergence-free wavelet solution to the Stokes problem

In this paper, we use divergence-free wavelets to give an adaptive solution to the velocity field of the Stokes problem. We first use divergence-free wavelets to discretize the divergence-free weak formulation of the Stokes problem and obtain a discrete positive definite linear system of equations whose coefficient matrix is quasi-sparse; Secondly, an adaptive scheme is used to solve the discrete linear system of equations and the error estimation and complexity analysis are given.     

Numerical solution of the generalized Stokes problem for the flow in a channel

In this article we introduce the separation of variables in the two-dimensional generalized Stokes problem. −νΔu + αu + inverted delta p = f, for the flow in a channel. Also for the first time, we discuss the implementation of the Incremental Unknowns Method with a data structure of Compressed Column Storage. Two examples of application of the Incremental Unknowns method for this problem are presented in which we compare the CPU times of three methods: Conjugate Gradient (CG), Incremental Unknowns (IU), and Uzawa Algorithm (Uzawa). © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Central symmetric solution to the Neumann problem for a time-fractional diffusion-wave equation in a sphere

In this paper, a time-fractional central symmetric diffusion-wave equation is investigated in a sphere. Two types of Neumann boundary condition are considered: the mathematical condition with the prescribed boundary value of the normal derivative and the physical condition with the prescribed boundary value of the matter flux. Several examples of problems are solved using the Laplace integral transform with respect to time and the finite sin-Fourier transform of the special type with respect to the spatial coordinate. Numerical results are illustrated graphically.     

Uniqueness and radial symmetry of least energy solution for a semilinear Neumann problem

Consider the following Neumann problem
d△u- u ＋ k（x）u^p = 0 and u 〉 0 in B1, δu/δv =0 on OB1,
where d 〉 0, B1 is the unit ball in R^N, k（x） = k（｜x｜） ≠ 0 is nonnegative and in C（-↑B1）, 1 〈 p 〈 N＋2/N-2 with N≥ 3. It was shown in [2] that, for any d 〉 0, problem （＊） has no nonconstant radially symmetric least energy solution if k（x） ≡ 1. By an implicit function theorem we prove that there is d0 〉 0 such that （＊） has a unique radially symmetric least energy solution if d 〉 d0, this solution is constant if k（x） ≡ 1 and nonconstant if k（x） ≠ 1. In particular, for k（x） ≡ 1, do can be expressed explicitly.
