Boundary control in critical time by elastic forces applied at two ends of an inhomogeneous rod for the case in which the wave propagation time over each of the inhomogeneity parts is the same

We study boundary control in critical time by elastic forces at two ends of an inhomogeneous rod consisting of two parts of distinct densities and elasticities for the case in which the wave propagation time over each of these parts is the same. We present a closed-form expression for the boundary control by elastic forces bringing the originally quiescent stick into a given terminal state specified by a given terminal displacement and a given terminal velocity in a given critical time.     

Burghelea-Friedlander-Kappeler's gluing formula for the zeta-determinant and its applications to the adiabatic decompositions of the zeta-determinant and the analytic torsion

The gluing formula of the zeta-determinant of a Laplacian given by Burghelea, Friedlander and Kappeler contains an unknown constant. In this paper we compute this constant to complete the formula under an assumption that the product structure is given near the boundary. As applications of this result, we prove the adiabatic decomposition theorems of the zeta-determinant of a Laplacian with respect to the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions and of the analytic torsion with respect to the absolute and relative boundary conditions.

     

On the Complexity of Isolating Real Roots and Computing with Certainty the Topological Degree

In this contribution the isolation of real roots and the computation of the topological degree in two dimensions are considered and their complexity is analyzed. In particular, we apply Stenger's degree computational method by splitting properly the boundary of the given region to obtain a sequence of subintervals along the boundary that forms a sufficient refinement. To this end, we properly approximate the function using univariate polynomials. Then we isolate each one of the zeros of these polynomials on the boundary of the given region in various subintervals so that these subintervals form a sufficiently refined boundary.     

Harmonic mappings of the Sierpinski gasket to the circle

Harmonic mappings from the Sierpinski gasket to the circle are described explicitly in terms of boundary values and topological data. In particular, all such mappings minimize energy within a given homotopy class. Explicit formulas are also given for the energy of the mapping and its normal derivatives at boundary points.

     

Boundary Techniques for the Multistep Formulation of the Optimized Lax-Wendroff Method for Non-linear Hyperbolic Systems in Two Space Dimensions

Gourlay & Morris (1970) presented a multistep formulationof a scheme proposed by Strang (1968) for the numerical solutionof non-linear hyperbolic systems. This formulation did not takeaccount of given boundary data and led to instability in certainproblems. This note presents boundary techniques for the incorporationof the given boundary data and in numerical experiments, itis shown that the instabilities, which arose in the problemsof Gourlay & Morris, are prohibited.

On the nonuniqueness of the solution of a mixed boundary value problem for the Laplace equation

We study the solvability of the mixed boundary value problem for the Laplace equation with three distinct boundary conditions, two of which include two directional derivatives with distinct tilt angles and the remaining one is the first boundary condition. An example of a nontrivial solution of the homogeneous problem is given, and conditions under which the problem has a unique solution are established. The solvability of the problem with a nonhomogeneous first boundary condition is studied.

Asymptotics of the Eigenelements of the Laplace Operator when the Boundary-Condition Type Changes on a Narrow Flattened Strip

In this paper, the method of matching asymptotic expansions is used to construct an asymptotics (in a small parameter) of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator in a domain when the boundary-condition type changes on a narrow flattened strip, provided that on the narrow strip of the boundary a Neumann condition is given and on the remaining part of the boundary a Dirichlet condition is given. The width of the strip is taken as the small parameter.     

On the boundary behavior of minimal surfaces with a free boundary which are not minima of the area

The well known boundary regularity results of H. Lewy and W. Jäger for area minimizing minimal surfaces with a free boundary are shown to be true also for minimal surfaces which are only stationary points of the Dirichlet integral with respect to a given boundary configuration.     

Boundary scalar controllability in projections for the Navier-Stokes system

We consider the following controllability problem for the Navier-Stokes equations: ensure, by dynamically varying the boundary values of the total fluid head, that the solution at a given time has a given projection onto some finite-dimensional subspace. We suggest a feedback control construction and obtain a priori estimates for the solution of the closed-loop system, which are then used to prove the boundary scalar controllability.

Boundary regularity for a family of overdetermined problems for the Helmholtz equation

If a nonconstant solution u of the Helmholtz equation exists on a bounded domain with u satisfying overdetermined boundary conditions (u and its normal derivative both required to be constant on the boundary), then under certain assumptions the boundary of the domain is proved to be real-analytic. Under weaker assumptions, if a real-analytic portion of the boundary has a real-analytic extension, then that extension must also be part of the boundary. Also, an explicit formula for u is given and a condition (which does not involve u) is given for a bounded domain to have such a solution u defined on it. Both of these last results involve acoustic single- and double-layer potentials.     

Constructing C1 triangular patch of degree six by the Boolean sum of an approximation operator and an interpolation operator

A new method to construct C¹ triangular patches which satisfy the given boundary curves and cross-boundary slopes is presented. The Boolean sum of an approximation operator and an interpolation operator is employed to construct the triangular patch. The approximation operator is used to construct a polynomial patch of degree six. The polynomial of degree six affords more freedoms, which makes the approximation operator not only approximate the given boundary interpolation conditions but also have a better approximation precision in the interior of the triangle, so that the triangular patch has a better precision on both the boundary and the interior of the triangular domain. The interpolation operator is utilized to build an interpolation patch which satisfies the given boundary conditions. The Boolean sum of the approximation and interpolation patches forms the triangular patch. Comparison results of the new method with other three methods are given.     

On the thread problem for minimal surfaces

For a given one-dimensional fixed boundary $\Gamma$ in and a given constant we consider any one-dimensional free boundary $F$ in subject to the conditions that the length of is equal to , that and form a closed boundary, and that the minimal surface of dimension two being bounded by and minimizes the area among all comparison surfaces being bounded by and some with length equal to . This variational problem is known as the thread problem for minimal surfaces and stems from soap film experiments, in which the fixed boundary parts are pieces of wires and the free boundary parts are threads. The new result of this article will be that has no singular points in , provided the admissible surfaces and boundary parts are supposed to be rectifiable flat chains modulo two.

Boundary control by an elastic force at one end of an inhomogeneous rod with the other end free for the case in which the wave travels either of the homogeneous parts in the same time

We study the boundary control by an elastic force at one end of an inhomogeneous rod that has two parts of different densities and elasticities and whose other end is free. The case in which the wave travels either of the homogeneous parts in the same time is considered. We present a closed-form analytical expression for the boundary control by an elastic force that brings the rod from the initial quiescent state to a given terminal state specified by given terminal displacement and terminal velocity.     

Solving some problems of elasticity theory by the integral equation method for a holomorphic vector

Under study are some problems of elasticity theory with nonclassical boundary value conditions. We assume that the load and displacement vectors are given on a part of the boundary, while on the other parts of the boundary, the load vector or the displacement vector may be given separately, and no conditions are imposed on the remaining part of the surface (of some nonzero measure).We consider the questions of uniqueness for the solutions to these problems. Solving the nonclassical problems is reduced to a system of singular integral equations for a holomorphic vector.     

On the geometric form of solutions of a free boundary problem involving galvanization

In [6], T. I. Vogel studied a free boundary problem originating in the galvanization process. He showed that if the given boundary Γ* is starlike or convex, then so is the free boundary solution Γ. Our purpose is to generalize Vogel's second result by showing (under certain assumptions) that Γ cannot have more (local) maxima or minima (relative to a given direction) than Γ*; also that Γ cannot have more inflection points or greater total curvature than Γ*. The author has already proven analogous results for the Bernoulli free boundary problem in [1], [2] and [3].
