We investigate the effective thermal conductivity of a two-phase composite with thermal resistance at the interface. The composite is obtained by introducing into an infinite homogeneous matrix a periodic set of inclusions of a different material. The diameter of each inclusion is assumed to be proportional to a positive real parameter ε. Under suitable assumptions, we show that the effective conductivity can be continued real analytically in the parameter εaround the degenerate value ε=0, in correspondence of which the inclusions collapse to points.
A mixed Dirichlet-Neumann problem is regularized with a family of singularly perturbed Neumann-Robin boundary problems, parametrized by $\varepsilon > 0$. Using an asymptotic development by Gamma-convergence, the asymptotic behavior of the solutions to the perturbed problems is studied as $\varepsilon \to 0^+$, recovering classical results in the literature.
We show that the number of low energy solutions of a double singularly perturbed Schroedinger Maxwell system type on a smooth 3 dimensional manifold (M,g) depends on the topological properties of the manifold. The result is obtained via Lusternik Schnirelmann category theory.
We exhibit a singularly perturbed parabolic problems for which the asymptotic behavior can be described by an one-dimensional ordinary differential equation. We estimate the continuity of attractors in the Hausdorff metric by rate of convergence of resolvent operator.
A theorem is proved on the uniform estimation of the residual term of the asymptotic expansion with respect to a small parameter of the solution of the initial problem for a singularly perturbed differential operator weakly nonlinear transport equation in the critical case.
An asymptotic expansion with respect to a small parameter of a singularly perturbed system of hyperbolic equations, describing vibrations of two rigidly connected strings is constructed. Under certain conditions imposed on these problems, the principal term of the asymptotic expansion of the solution is described by the Korteweg-de Vries equation.
We exhibit a class of singularly perturbed parabolic problems which the asymptotic behavior can be described by a system of ordinary differential equation. We estimate the convergence of attractors in the Hausdorff metric by rate of convergence of resolvent operators. Application to spatial homogenization and large diffusion except in a neighborhood of a point will be considered.
For the singularly perturbed system \[Δu_{i,β}=βu_{i,β}\sum_{j\neq i}u_{j,β}^2, \quad 1\leq i\leq N,\] we prove that flat interfaces are uniformly Lipschitz. As a byproduct of the proof we also obtain the optimal lower bound near the flat interfaces, \[\sum_iu_{i,β}\geq cβ^{-1/4}.\]
We show that the number of solutions of a double singularly perturbed Schroedinger Maxwell system on a smooth bounded domain A depends on the topological properties of the domain. In particular if A is non contractible we obtain cat(A) + 1 positive solutions. The result is obtained via Lusternik Schnirelmann category theory
This paper is concerned with a Neumann type problem for singularly perturbed fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equations with subcritical exponent. For some smooth bounded domain $Ω\subset \mathbf R^n$, our boundary condition is given by \begin{equation*} \int_Ω\frac{u(x)-u(y)}{|x-y|^{n+2s}}dy=0\quad\mbox{for }x\in \mathbf R^n\setminus\barΩ. \end{equation*} We establish existence of nonnegative small energy solutions, and also investigate the integrability of the solutions on $\mathbf R^n$.
We study fully nonlinear singularly perturbed parabolic equations and their limits. We show that solutions are uniformly Lipschitz continuous in space and Hölder continuous in time. For the limiting free boundary problem, we analyse the behaviour of solutions near the free boundary. We show, in particular, that, at each time level, the free boundary is a porous set and, consequently, is of Lebesgue measure zero. For rotationally invariant operators, we also derive the limiting free boundary condition.
The paper deals with the Neumann spectral problem for a singularly perturbed second order elliptic operator with bounded lower order terms. The main goal is to provide a refined description of the limit behaviour of the principal eigenvalue and eigenfunction. Using the logarithmic transformation we reduce the studied problem to additive eigenvalue problem for a singularly perturbed Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Then assuming that the Aubry set of the Hamiltonian consists of a finite number of points or limit cycles situated in the domain or on its boundary, we find the limit of the eigenvalue and …
In this article we are interested in studying regularity up to the boundary for one-phase singularly perturbed fully nonlinear elliptic problems, associated to high energy activation potentials, namely $$ F(X, \nabla u^{\varepsilon}, D^2 u^{\varepsilon}) = ζ_{\varepsilon}(u^{\varepsilon}) \quad \mbox{in} \quad Ω\subset \R^n $$ where $ζ_{\varepsilon}$ behaves asymptotically as the Dirac measure $δ_{0}$ as $\varepsilon$ goes to zero. We shall establish global gradient bounds independent of the parameter $\varepsilon$.
We consider the following singularly perturbed elliptic problem \[ - {\varepsilon ^2}Δu + u = f(u){\text{ in }}Ω,{\text{ }}u > 0{\text{ in }}Ω,{\text{ }}u = 0{\text{ on }}\partial Ω, \] where $Ω$ is a domain in ${\mathbb{R}^N}(N \ge 3)$, not necessarily bounded, with boundary $\partial Ω\in {C^2}$ and the nonlinearity $f$ is of critical growth. In this paper, we construct a family of multi-peak solutions to the equation given above which concentrate around any prescribed finite sets of local maxima of the distance function from the boundary $\partial Ω$.
We consider the Laplace equation in a domain of $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 3$, with a small inclusion of size $ε$. On the boundary of the inclusion we define a nonlinear nonautonomous transmission condition. For $ε$ small enough one can prove that the problem has solutions. In this paper, we study the local uniqueness of such solutions.
We perform a convergence analysis of a discrete-in-time minimization scheme approximating a finite dimensional singularly perturbed gradient flow. We allow for different scalings between the viscosity parameter $\varepsilon$ and the time scale $τ$. When the ratio $\frac{\varepsilon}τ$ diverges, we rigorously prove the convergence of this scheme to a (discontinuous) Balanced Viscosity solution of the quasistatic evolution problem obtained as formal limit, when $\varepsilon\to 0$, of the gradient flow. We also characterize the limit evolution corresponding to an asymptotically finite ratio betwe…
We deal with a singularly perturbed optimal control problem with slow and fast variable depending on a parameter ε. We study the asymptotic, as ε goes to 0, of the corresponding value functions, and show convergence, in the sense of weak semilimits, to sub and supersolution of a suitable limit equation containing the effective Hamiltonian. The novelty of our contribution is that no compactness condition are assumed on the fast variable. This generalization requires, in order to perform the asymptotic proce- dure, an accurate qualitative analysis of some auxiliary equations posed on the space o…
In this paper, we are concerned with the existence and concentration phenomena of solutions for the following singularly perturbed fractional Schrödinger problem \begin{align*} \varepsilon^{2s}(-Δ)^su+V(x)u=f(u) \ \ \ \mbox{in} \ \ \ \mathbb{R}^N, \end{align*} where $N>2s$ and the nonlinearity $f$ has critical growth. By using the variational approach, we construct a localized bound-state solution concentrating around an isolated component of the positive minimum point of $V$ as $\varepsilon\rightarrow 0$. Our result improves the study made in X. He and W. Zou ({\it Calc. Var. Partial Differen…
In this paper we study the semiclassical limit for the singularly perturbed Choquard equation $$ -\vr^2Δu +V(x)u =\vr^{μ-3}\Big(\int_{\R^3} \frac{Q(y)G(u(y))}{|x-y|^μ}dy\Big)Q(x)g(u) \quad \mbox{in $\R^3$}, $$ where $0<μ<3$, $\vr$ is a positive parameter, $V,Q$ are two continuous real function on $\R^3$ and $G$ is the primitive of $g$ which is of critical growth due to the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality. Under suitable assumptions on the nonlinearity $g$, we first establish the existence of ground states for the critical Choquard equation with constant coefficients in $\R^3$. Next we esta…
This work is devoted to study of a class of elliptic singular perturbed systems and their singular limit to a phase segregating system. We prove existence and uniqueness and study the asymptotic behaviour with convergence to a limiting problem as the interaction rate tends to infinity. The limiting problem is a free boundary problem such that at each point in the domain at least one of the components is zero which implies simultaneously all components can not coexist. We present a novel method, which provides an explicit solution of limiting problem for special choice of parameters. Moreover, …
In this paper, we aim to investigate the following class of singularly perturbed elliptic problem $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \displaystyle -\varepsilon^2\triangle {u}+|x|^ηu =|x|^ηf(u)& \mbox{in}\,\, A, u=0 & \mbox{on}\,\, \partial A, \end{array} \right. $$ where $\varepsilon>0$, $η\in\mathbb{R}$, $A=\{x\in\R^{2N}:\,\,0<a<|x|<b\}$, $N\ge2$ and $f$ is a nonlinearity of $C^1$ class with supercritical growth. By a reduction argument, we show that there exists a nodal solution $u_\e$ with exactly two positive and two negative peaks, which concentrate on two different orthogonal spheres of dimens…
In this paper we analyse a boundary value problem for the Laplace equation with a nonlinear non-autonomous transmission conditions on the boundary of a small inclusion of size $ε$. We show that the problem has solutions for $ε$ small enough and we investigate the dependence of a specific family of solutions upon $ε$. By adopting a functional analytic approach we prove that the map which takes $ε$ to (suitable restrictions of) the corresponding solution can be represented in terms of real analytic functions.
We consider a singularly perturbed fourth-order problem with third-order terms on the unit square. With a formal power series approach, we decompose the solution into solutions of reduced (third-order) problems and various layer parts. The existence of unique solutions for the problem itself and for the reduced third-order problems is also addressed.
Analytic solutions and their formal asymptotic expansions for a family of the singularly perturbed $q-$difference-differential equations in the complex domain are constructed. They stand for a $q-$analog of the singularly perturbed partial differential equations considered in our recent work [A. Lastra, S. Malek, Boundary layer expansions for initial value problems with two complex time variables, submitted 2019]. In the present work, we construct outer and inner analytic solutions of the main equation, each of them showing asymptotic expansions of essentially different nature with respect to …
We study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions related to a family of singularly perturbed partial differential equations in the complex domain. The analytic solutions are asymptotically represented by a formal power series in the perturbation parameter. The geometry of the problem and the nature of the elements involved in it give rise to different asymptotic levels related to the so-called strongly regular sequences. The result leans on a novel version of a multi-level Ramis-Sibuya theorem.
