On Vector Helmholtz Equation with a Coupling Boundary Condition

The Helmholtz equation is sometimes supplemented by conditions that include the specification of the boundary value of the divergence of the unknown.In this paper, we study the vector Helmholtz problem in domains of both C~(1,1)and Lipschitz.We es- tablish a rigorous variational analysis such as equivalence,existence and uniqueness. And we propose finite element approximations based on the uncoupled solutions.Fi- nally we present a convergence analysis and error estimates.     

The Elastic Continuum Limit of the Tight Binding Model

The authors consider the simplest quantum mechanics model of solids,the tight binding model,and prove that in the continuum limit,the energy of tight binding model converges to that of the continuum elasticity model obtained using Cauchy-Born rule.The technique in this paper is based mainly on spectral perturbation theory for large matrices.
