We consider a class of quasilinear operators on a bounded domain $Omegasubset mathbb R^n$ and address the question of optimizing the first eigenvalue with respect to the boundary conditions, which are of the Robin-type. We describe the optimizing boundary conditions and establish upper and lower bounds on the respective maximal and minimal eigenvalue.
This article is dedicated to insensitization issues of a quadratic functional involving the solution of the linear heat equation with respect to domains variations. This work can be seen as a continuation of [P. Lissy, Y. Privat, and Y. Simpore. Insensitizing control for linear and semi-linear heat equations with partially unknown domain. ESAIM Control Optim. Calc. Var., 25:Art. 50, 21, 2019], insofar as we generalize several of the results it contains and investigate new related properties. In our framework, we consider boundary variations of the spatial domain on which the solution of the PDE is defined at each time, and investigate three main issues: (i) approximate insensitization, (ii) approximate insensitization combined with an exact insensitization for a finite-dimensional subspace, and (iii) exact insensitization. We provide positive answers to questions (i) and (ii) and partial results to question (iii).
We classify positive solutions to a class of quasilinear equations with Neumann or Robin boundary conditions in convex domains. Our main tool is an integral formula involving the trace of some relevant quantities for the problem. Under a suitable condition on the nonlinearity, a relevant consequence of our results is that we can extend to weak solutions a celebrated result obtained for stable solutions by Casten and Holland and by Matano.
We consider the initial-boundary value problem for systems of quasilinear wave equations on domains of the form $[0,T] times Sigma$, where $Sigma$ is a compact manifold with smooth boundaries $partialSigma$. By using an appropriate reduction to a first order symmetric hyperbolic system with maximal dissipative boundary conditions, well posedness of such problems is established for a large class of boundary conditions on $partialSigma$. We show that our class of boundary conditions is sufficiently general to allow for a well posed formulation for different wave problems in the presence of constraints and artificial, nonreflecting boundaries, including Maxwells equations in the Lorentz gauge and Einsteins gravitational equations in harmonic coordinates. Our results should also be useful for obtaining stable finite-difference discretizations for such problems.
Let $G$ be a compact Lie group acting smoothly on a smooth, compact manifold $M$, let $P in psi^m(M; E_0, E_1)$ be a $G$--invariant, classical pseudodifferential operator acting between sections of two vector bundles $E_i to M$, $i = 0,1$, and let $alpha$ be an irreducible representation of the group $G$. Then $P$ induces a map $pi_alpha(P) : H^s(M; E_0)_alpha to H^{s-m}(M; E_1)_alpha$ between the $alpha$-isotypical components. We prove that the map $pi_alpha(P)$ is Fredholm if, and only if, $P$ is {em transversally $alpha$-elliptic}, a condition defined in terms of the principal symbol of $P$ and the action of $G$ on the vector bundles $E_i$.
Let $mathfrak{n}$ be a nonempty, proper, convex subset of $mathbb{C}$. The $mathfrak{n}$-maximal operators are defined as the operators having numerical ranges in $mathfrak{n}$ and are maximal with this property. Typical examples of these are the maximal symmetric (or accretive or dissipative) operators, the associated to some sesquilinear forms (for instance, to closed sectorial forms), and the generators of some strongly continuous semi-groups of bounded operators. In this paper the $mathfrak{n}$-maximal operators are studied and some characterizations of these in terms of the resolvent set are given.
