Free Boundary Value Problems for Abstract Elliptic Equations and Applications

The free boundary value problems for elliptic differential-operator equations are studied. Several conditions for the uniform maximal regularity with respect to boundary parameters and the Fredholmness in abstract L _p -spaces are given. In application, the nonlocal free boundary problems for finite or infinite systems of elliptic and anisotropic type equations are studied.     

Noncoercive Boundary Value Problems for Elliptic Partial Differential and Differential-Operator Equations

In this paper we find conditions guarantee that irregular boundary value problems for elliptic differential-operator equations of the second order in an interval are fredholm. We apply this result to find some algebraic conditions guarantee that irregular boundary value problems for elliptic partial differential equations of the second order in cylindrical domains are fredholm. Apparently this is the first paper where the regularity of an elliptic boundary value problem is not satisfied on a manifold of the dimension equal to dimension of the boundary. Nevertheless the problem is fredholm and the resolvent is compact. It is interesting to note that the considered boundary value problems for elliptic equations in a cylinder being with separating variables are noncoercive.

Multigrid method for coupled semilinear elliptic equation

This paper introduces a kind of multigrid finite element method for the coupled semilinear elliptic equations. Instead of the common way of directly solving the coupled semilinear elliptic problems on some fine spaces, the presented method transforms the solution of the coupled semilinear elliptic problem into a series of solutions of the corresponding decoupled linear boundary value problems on the sequence of multilevel finite element spaces and some coupled semilinear elliptic problems on a very low dimensional space. The decoupled linearized boundary value problems can be solved by some multigrid iterations efficiently. The optimal error estimate and optimal computational work are proved theoretically and demonstrated numerically. Moreover, the requirement of bounded second‐order derivatives of the nonlinear term in the existing multigrid method is reduced to a Lipschitz continuous condition in the proposed method.     

Nonlinear fourth-order elliptic equations with nonlocal boundary conditions

This paper is concerned with a class of fourth-order nonlinear elliptic equations with nonlocal boundary conditions, including a multi-point boundary condition in a bounded domain of Rn. Also considered is a second-order elliptic equation with nonlocal boundary condition, and the usual multi-point boundary problem in ordinary differential equations. The aim of the paper is to show the existence of maximal and minimal solutions, the uniqueness of a positive solution, and the method of construction for these solutions. Our approach to the above problems is by the method of upper and lower solutions and its associated monotone iterations. The monotone iterative schemes can be developed into computational algorithms for numerical solutions of the problem by either the finite difference method or the finite element method.     

A nonlocal boundary value problem for elliptic differential-operator equations and applications

In this paper we give, for the first time, an abstract interpretation of nonlocal boundary value problems for elliptic differential equations of the second order. We prove coerciveness and Fredholmness of nonlocal boundary value problems for the second order elliptic differential-operator equations. We apply then, in section 6, these results for investigation of nonlocal boundary value problems for the second order elliptic differential equations (one can find the references on the subject in the introduction and Chapter V in the book by A. L. Skubachevskii [27]). Abstract results obtained in this paper can be used for study of nonlocal boundary value problems for quasielliptic differential equations.     

Noncoercive boundary value problems for the Laplace equation with a spectral parameter

In this paper we find conditions that guarantee that irregular boundary value problems for elliptic differential-operator equations of the second order in an interval are coercive with a defect and fredholm; compactness of a resolvent and estimations by spectral parameter; completeness of root functions. We apply this result to find some algebraic conditions that guarantee that irregular boundary value problems for elliptic partial differential equations of the second order in cylindrical domains have the same properties. Apparently this is the first paper where the regularity of an elliptic boundary value problem is not satisfied on a manifold of the dimension equal to the dimension of the boundary. Nevertheless, the problem is fredholm and the resolvent is compact. It is interesting to note that the considered boundary value problems for elliptic equations in a cylinder being with separating variables are noncoercive.

A 2-D free boundary problem with onset of a phase and singular elliptic boundary value problems

Numerous models of industrial processes, such as diffusion in glassy polymers or solidification phenomena, lead to general one phase free boundary value problems with phase onset.The classical well-posedness of a fast diffusion approximation to the concerned free boundary value problems is proved. The analysis is performed via a singular change of variables leading to a singular system in a fixed domain. An existence and regularity theory for classical solutions is developed for the relevant underlying class of singular elliptic boundary value problems and is then used to prove the well-posedness for the models considered in which these are coupled to Hamilton-Jacobi or to parabolic evolution equations.

Degenerate elliptic boundary value problems

In this paper we find conditions that guarantee that regular boundary value problems for elliptic differential-operator equations of the second order in an interval are coercive and Fredholm, and we prove the compactness of a resolvent. We apply this result to find some algebraic conditions that guarantee that regular boundary value problems for degenerate elliptic differential equations of the second order in cylindrical domains have the same properties. Note that considered boundary value conditions are nonlocal and are differential only in their principal part, and a domain is nonsmooth.

A class of quasilinear degenerate elliptic problems

We establish the existence of solutions for a class of quasilinear degenerate elliptic equations. The equations in this class satisfy a structure condition which provides ellipticity in the interior of the domain, and degeneracy only on the boundary. Equations of transonic gas dynamics, for example, satisfy this property in the region of subsonic flow and are degenerate across the sonic surface. We prove that the solution is smooth in the interior of the domain but may exhibit singular behavior at the degenerate boundary. The maximal rate of blow-up at the degenerate boundary is bounded by the “degree of degeneracy” in the principal coefficients of the quasilinear elliptic operator. Our methods and results apply to the problems recently studied by several authors which include the unsteady transonic small disturbance equation, the pressure-gradient equations of the compressible Euler equations, and the singular quasilinear anisotropic elliptic problems, and extend to the class of equations which satisfy the structure condition, such as the shallow water equation, compressible isentropic two-dimensional Euler equations, and general two-dimensional nonlinear wave equations. Our study provides a general framework to analyze degenerate elliptic problems arising in the self-similar reduction of a broad class of two-dimensional Cauchy problems.     

The Qualitative Analysis and the Critical Hypersurfaces of Elliptic and Hyperbolic PDEs

Many boundary value problems of PDEs of the applied mathematics lead to the solving of equivalent elliptic and hyperbolic quadratic algebraic equations (QAEs) with variable coefficients. The qualitative analysis of elliptic and hyperbolic QAEs is started here by the determination of their behaviors by systematical variation of their free and linear terms, from −∞ to +∞ and by their visualization. It comes out that, for these variations of their coefficients, the elliptic and hyperbolic QAEs have critical hypersurfaces, which are obtained by cancellation of their great determinant as in [1], [2]. The critical hypersurface can be considered as a limit of existence of real solutions of an elliptic QAE. The hyperbolic QAE degenerates jumps and breaks along its critical hypersurface, which is also its asymptote. (© 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

求解具有混合边界条件的拟线性扩散方程的有限元方法的误差估计问题

在M.F.Wheeler的[5]中,对一类拟线性抛物型方程的F.E.M,进行了颇为深入的理论分析。但是,[5]所考虑的方程,其高阶项的系数,尚有某种局限性,以致不能应用于一般的各向异性问题;对于混合边界的情形,也未加讨论。此外,[5]中所涉及的条件也是较强的,如要求解函数u(x,t)∈c~2(Ω×[0,T])等等。 本文对实践中常常遇到的具有第三混合边界条件的一类拟线性扩散问题的F.E.M,在较[5]为弱的条件下,进行了讨论,把有关拟线性问题的误差估计问题归结为某一线性椭圆边值问题F.E.M的误差估计问题。本文的结果是[1]的推广。     

Transonic nozzle flows and free boundary problems for the full Euler equations

We establish the existence and uniqueness of transonic flows with a transonic shock through a two-dimensional nozzle of slowly varying cross-sections. The transonic flow is governed by the steady, full Euler equations. Given an incoming smooth flow that is close to a constant supersonic state (i.e., smooth Cauchy data) at the entrance and the subsonic condition with nearly horizontal velocity at the exit of the nozzle, we prove that there exists a transonic flow whose downstream smooth subsonic region is separated by a smooth transonic shock from the upstream supersonic flow. This problem is approached by a one-phase free boundary problem in which the transonic shock is formulated as a free boundary. The full Euler equations are decomposed into an elliptic equation and a system of transport equations for the free boundary problem. An iteration scheme is developed and its fixed point is shown to exist, which is a solution of the free boundary problem, by combining some delicate estimates for the elliptic equation and the system of transport equations with the Schauder fixed point argument. The uniqueness of transonic nozzle flows is also established by employing the coordinate transformation of Euler-Lagrange type and detailed estimates of the solutions.     

A-posteriori error estimation for finite element modifications of line methods applied to singularly perturbed partial differential equations

Two types of singularly perturbed, linear partial differential equations are considered, namely time dependent convection-diffusion problems and a two-dimensional elliptic equation having a first order unperturbed operator. Finite element approximations are constructed via modifications of classical methods of lines. The main purpose of the present work is to establish a-posteriori estimates for the error between the solutions of the finite element methods and the boundary value problems arising from the line methods. The different types of equations, parabolic and elliptic ones, and distinct directions of the lines in the elliptic case require different techniques in order to derive estimates of the desired form. These realistic, local a-posteriori error estimates may be used as a basis for adaptive computations refining the mesh automatically on every discrete line.     

Fredholm property of elliptic boundary value problems for partial differential and differential- operator equations

In this paper we find conditions on boundary value problems for elliptic differential-operator equations of the 4-th order in an interval to be fredholm. Apparently, this is the first publication for elliptic differential-operator equations of the 4-th order, when the principal part of the equation has the form u′?n(t) + Au″(t) + Bu(t), where AB^-1/2 is a bounded operator and is not compact. As an application we find some algebraic conditions on boundary value problems for elliptic partial equations of the 4-th order in cylindrical domains to be fredholm. Note that a new method has actually been suggested here for investigation of boundary value problems for elliptic partial equations of the 4-th order.
