Galerkin method for a Stefan-type problem in one space dimension

Based on a Landau-type transformation, both continuous and discrete in time L²-Galerkin methods are applied to a single-phase Stefan-type problem in one space dimension. Optimal rates of convergence in L^ℵ, L^∞, and H¹-norms are derived and computational results are presented. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Means of unitaries, conjugations, and the Friedrichs operator

If C is a conjugation (an isometric, conjugate-linear involution) on a separable complex Hilbert space H, then T∈B(H) is called C-symmetric if T=CT^∗C. In this note we prove that each C-symmetric contraction T is the mean of two C-symmetric unitary operators. We discuss several corollaries and an application to the Friedrichs operator of a planar domain.     

Analytic continuation of the exponential transform from convex cavities

The analytic continuation of the exponential transform of a domain in Rn is proved under some global geometric assumptions on the boundary. Two approximation schemes of the continued transform (one based on a Taylor series truncation, the other on a global eigenfunction expansion) are also discussed.     

Estimates on Green functions and Schrödinger-type equations for non-symmetric diffusions with measure-valued drifts

In this paper, we establish sharp two-sided estimates for the Green functions of non-symmetric diffusions with measure-valued drifts in bounded Lipschitz domains. As consequences of these estimates, we get a 3G type theorem and a conditional gauge theorem for these diffusions in bounded Lipschitz domains.Informally the Schrödinger-type operators we consider are of the form L+μ⋅∇+ν where L is a uniformly elliptic second order differential operator, μ is a vector-valued signed measure belonging to Kd,1 and ν is a signed measure belonging to Kd,2. In this paper, we establish two-sided estimates for the heat kernels of Schrödinger-type operators in bounded C1,1-domains and a scale invariant boundary Harnack principle for the positive harmonic functions with respect to Schrödinger-type operators in bounded Lipschitz domains.     

抛物问题的拉格朗日乘子区域分解法

１．引言 近年来,一类新的非重叠区域分解方法一非匹配网格区域分解法,日益引起人们的广泛兴趣,并已成为当今区域分解方法研究的热门课题。这类区域分解方法的特点是：相邻子区域在公共边（或面）上的结点可以不重合,从而能解决许多传统区域分解方法不便解决的问题（如变动网格问题）．目前主要有两类方法来处理这种区域分解的强非协调性：Ｍｏｒｔａｒ无法（见［１－２］和［９－１０］）和拉格朗日乘子法（见［５］,［８］,［１１］和［１２］）．拉格朗日乘子法比Ｍｏｒｔａｒ无法有明显的优点：（１）界面变量（即拉格朗日乘子）…

Method of infinite systems of equations for solving an elliptic problem in a semistrip

Many problems of mechanics and physics are posed in unbounded (or infinite) domains. For solving these problems one typically limits them to bounded domains and finds ways to set appropriate conditions on artificial boundaries or use quasi-uniform grid that maps unbounded domains to bounded ones. Differently from the above methods we approach to problems in unbounded domains by infinite systems of equations. In this paper we develop this approach for an elliptic problem in an infinite semistrip. Using the idea of Polozhii in the method of summary representations we transform the infinite system of three-point vector equations to infinite systems of three-point scalar equations and obtain the approximate solution with a given accuracy. Numerical experiments for several examples show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Decay of solutions of a limiting form of Ginzburg–Landau systems involving curl

In this note, we study a semilinear system involving the operator curl in an exterior domain in R³${\mathbb{R}}^3$, which is the limiting form of the Ginzburg–Landau model for superconductors in three dimensions for a large value of the Ginzburg–Landau parameter. We prove that this problem has a smooth solution, and it decays exponentially at infinity.
