We consider the inhomogeneous Dirichlet problem on product domains. The main result is the asymptotic expansion of the solution in terms of increasing smoothness up to the boundary. In particular, we show the exact nature of the singularities of the solution at singularities of the boundary by constructing singular functions which make up an asymptotic expansion of the solution.
We provide a higher order boundary Harnack inequality for harmonic functions in slit domains. As a corollary we obtain the $C^\infty$ regularity of the free boundary in the Signorini problem near non-degenerate points.
A system of Boundary-Domain Integral Equations is derived from the mixed (Dirichlet-Neumann) boundary value problem for the diffusion equation in inhomogeneous media defined on an unbounded domain. Boundary-domain integral equations are formulated in terms of parametrix-based potential type integral operators defined on the boundary and the domain. Mapping properties of parametrix-based potentials on weighted Sobolev spaces are analysed. Equivalence between the original boundary value problem and the system of BDIEs is shown. Uniqueness of solution of the BDIEs is proved using Fredholm Alterna…
We investigate the Boundary Harnack Principle in Hölder domains of exponent $α>0$ by the analytical method developed in our previous work "A short proof of Boundary Harnack Principle".
We study the boundary integral operator induced from fractional Laplace equation in a bounded Lipschitz domain. As an application, we study the boundary value problem of a fractional Laplace equation.
We study the boundary behaviour of solutions to second order parabolic linear equations in moving domains. Our main result is a higher order boundary Harnack inequality in $C^1$ and $C^{k,α}$ domains, providing that the quotient of two solutions vanishing on the boundary of the domain is as smooth as the boundary. As a consequence of our result, we provide a new proof of higher order regularity of the free boundary in the parabolic obstacle problem.
We consider smooth solutions to the Monge-Amp`ere equation subject to mixed boundary conditions on annular domains. We establish global $C^2$ estimates when the boundary of the domain consists of two smooth strictly convex closed hypersurfaces.
This paper is concerned with the convergence of the solution of general elliptic boundary value problems in cylindrical domain, when some directions of the domain go to infinity.
We study nonlinear Neumann type boundary value problems related to ergodic phenomenas. The particularity of these problems is that the ergodic constant appears in the (possibly nonlinear) Neumann boundary conditions. We provide, for bounded domains, several results on the existence, uniqueness and properties of this ergodic constant.
We discuss the domain variation solutions notion for some degenerate elliptic two-phase free boundary problems as well as the viscosity definition of the problem when the operator is degenerate.
A mixed boundary value problem for the partial differential equation of diffusion in an inhomogeneous medium in a Lipschitz domain is reduced to a system of direct segregated parametrix-based Boundary-Domain Integral Equations (BDIEs). We use a parametrix different from the one employed in the papers by Mikhailov (2002, 2006) and Chkadua, Mikhailov, Natroshvili (2009). We prove the equivalence between the original BVP and the corresponding BDIE system. The invertibility and Fredholm properties of the boundary-domain integral operators are also analysed.
This short note describes the benefit one obtains from a specific construction of a family of parametrices for a class of elliptic boundary value problems perturbed by non-linear terms of product type. The construction is based on the Boutet de Monvel calculus of pseudo-differential boundary operators for the linear elliptic parts, and on paradifferential operators for the product terms.
We investigate linear parabolic, second-order boundary value problems with mixed boundary conditions on rough domains. Assuming only boundedness and ellipticity on the coefficient function and very mild conditions on the geometry of the domain, including a very weak compatibility condition between the Dirichlet boundary part and its complement, we prove Hölder continuity of the solution in space and time.
We study some geometric and potential theoretic properties of nodal domains of solutions to certain uniformly elliptic equations. In particular, we establish corkscrew conditions, Carleson type estimates and boundary Harnack inequalities on a class of nodal domains.
This paper is concerned with boundary regularity estimates in the homogenization of elliptic equations with rapidly oscillating and high-contrast coefficients. We establish uniform nontangential-maximal-function estimates for the Dirichlet, regularity, and Neumann problems with $L^2$ boundary data in a periodically perforated Lipschitz domain.
In a cylindrical space-time domain with a convex, spatial base, we establish a local Lipschitz estimate for weak solutions to parabolic systems with Uhlenbeck structure up to the lateral boundary, provided homogeneous Dirichlet data are assumed on that part of the lateral boundary.
We consider the compressible Navier-Stokes system on time-dependent domains with prescribed motion of the boundary, supplemented with slip boundary conditions for the velocity. We derive the relative entropy inequality in the spirit of Feireisl et al. for the system on moving domain and use it to prove the weak-strong uniqueness property.
We study asymptotic behaviors near the boundary of complete metrics of constant curvature in planar singular domains and establish an optimal estimate of these metrics by the corresponding metrics in tangent cones near isolated singular points on boundary. The conformal structure plays an essential role.
In this paper, a geometric condition on domains will be given which guarantees the boundary differentiability of solutions of elliptic equations, that is, the solutions are differentiable at any boundary point. We will show that this geometric condition is optimal.
This paper deals with a class of singularly perturbed nonlinear elliptic problems $(P_\e)$ with subcritical nonlinearity. The coefficient of the linear part is assumed to concentrate in a point of the domain, as $\e\to 0$, and the domain is supposed to be unbounded and with unbounded boundary. Domains that enlarge at infinity, and whose boundary flattens or shrinks at infinity, are considered. It is proved that in such domains problem $(P_\e)$ has at least 2 solutions.
Let $Ω$ be a domain with noncompact boundary. It is known that the Helmholtz decomposition is not always valid in $L^p(Ω)$ except for the energy space $L^2 (Ω)$. In this paper we consider a typical unbounded domain whose boundary is given as a Lipschitz graph, and show that the Helmholtz decomposition holds in certain anisotropic spaces which include some infinite energy vector fields.
We prove the existence of unique solutions to the Dirichlet boundary value problems for linear second-order uniformly parabolic operators in either divergence or non-divergence form with boundary blowup low-order coefficients. The domain is possibly time varying, non-smooth, and satisfies the exterior measure condition.
We study the regularity of minimizers of a two-phase free boundary problem. For a class of n-dimensional convex domains, we establish the Lipschitz continuity of the minimizer up to the fixed boundary under Neumann boundary conditions. Our proof uses an almost monotonicity formula for the Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman functional restricted to the convex domain. This requires a variant of the classical Friedland-Hayman inequality for geodesically convex subsets of the sphere with Neumann boundary conditions. To apply this inequality, in addition to convexity, we require a Dini condition governing the…
In this article we investigate averaging properties of fully nonlinear PDEs in bounded domains with oscillatory Neumann boundary data. The oscillation is periodic and is present both in the operator and in the Neumann data. Our main result states that, when the domain does not have flat boundary parts and when the homogenized operator is rotation invariant, the solutions uniformly converge to the homogenized solution solving a Neumann boundary problem. Furthermore we show that the homogenized Neumann data is continuous with respect to the normal direction of the boundary.
We study the boundary integral operator induced from the fractional Laplace equation in a bounded smooth domain. For $1/2 < α? < 1$, we show the bijectivity of the boundary integral operator $S_{2α} : L^p(\partial Ω) \rightarrow H^{2α-1}_p (\partial Ω), 1 < p < 1$. As an application, we show the existence of the solution of the boundary value problem of the fractional Laplace equation.
We consider reaction-diffusion systems where components diffuse inside the domain and react on the surface through mass transport type boundary conditions on an evolving domain. Using Lyapunov functional and duality arguments, we establish the existence of component-wise non-negative global solutions.
We study a mixed initial-boundary value problem for the Navier-Stokes equations, where the Dirichlet, Neumann and slip boundary conditions are prescribed on the faces of a three-dimensional polyhedral domain. We prove the existence, uniqueness and smoothness of the solution on a time interval $(0,T^*)$, where $0<T^*\leq T$.
In this work we analyze the solutions of a $p$-Laplacian equation with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions set in a family of rough domains with a nonlinear term concentrated on the boundary. At the limit, we get a nonlinear boundary condition capturing the oscillatory geometry of the strip where the reactions take place.
Given a smooth bounded planar domain, we construct a compact set on the boundary s.t. its characteristic function is not the trace of a least gradient function. This generalize the construction of Spradlin and Tamasan [ST14] on the disc.
The paper is pertaining to the spectral theory of operators and boundary value problems for differential equations on manifolds. Eigenvalues of such problems are studied as functionals on the space of domains. Resolvent continuity of the corresponding operators is established under domain deformation and estimates of continuity moduli of their eigenvalues $\slash$ eigenfunctions are obtained provided the boundary of nonperturbed domain is locally represented as a graph of some continuous function and domain deformation is measured with respect to the Hausdorff--Pompeiu metric.
We study asymptotic behaviors of solutions to the Loewner-Nirenberg problem in domains with conic singularities and establish asymptotic expansions with respect to two normal directions simultaneously. The spherical domains over which cones are formed are allowed to have singularities. An elliptic operator on such spherical domains with coefficients singular on boundary play an important role. Key step is the study of the eigenvalues growth and eigenfunctions estimates.
A system of segregated boundary-domain integral equations (BDIEs) is obtained from the Dirichlet problem for the diffusion equation in non-homogeneous media defined on an exterior two-dimensional domain. We use a parametrix different from the one employed by in (Dufera, 2019). The system of BDIEs is formulated in terms of parametrix-based surface and volume potentials whose mapping properties are analysed in weighted Sobolev spaces. The system of BDIEs is shown to be equivalent to the original boundary value problem and uniquely solvable in appropriate weighted Sobolev spaces suitable for infi…
In present paper we study a boundary value problem for a mixed parabolic-hyperbolic type equation in a rectangular domain and prove the existence of unique solution of this problem. In theory of boundary value problems for second order mixed type equations usually two conjugation conditions are in use. In this case, for mixed type equations containing hyperbolic equation in a rectangular domain for solvability of boundary value problem appears certain condition. In this paper we give three conjugation conditions. In this case mentioned condition not appears.
We consider the compressible (barotropic) Navier-Stokes system on time-dependent domains, supplemented with slip boundary conditions. Our approach is based on penalization of the boundary behaviour, viscosity, and the pressure in the weak formulation. Global-in-time weak solutions are obtained.
Consider the stationary Boltzmann equation in 2D convex domains with diffusive boundary condition. In this paper, we establish the hydrodynamic limits while the boundary layers are present, and derive the steady Navier-Stokes-Fourier system with non-slip boundary conditions. Our contribution focuses on novel weighted $W^{1,\infty}$ estimates for the Milne problem with geometric correction. Also, we develop stronger remainder estimates based on an $L^{2m}-L^{\infty}$ framework.
In this paper we are concerned with the initial boundary value problems of linear and semi-linear parabolic equations with mixed boundary conditions on non-cylindrical domains in spatial-temporal space. We obtain the existence of a weak solution to the problem. In the case of the linear equation the parts for every type of boundary condition are any open subsets of the boundary being nonempty the part for Dirichlet condition at any time. Due to this it is difficult to reduce the problem to one on a cylindrical domain by diffeomorphism of the domain. By a transformation of unknown function and …
An initial boundary value problem for compressible Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is considered on an exterior domain (with the first Betti number vanishes) in $R^3$ in this paper. The global existence of smooth solutions near a given constant state for compressible MHD with the boundary conditions of Navier-slip for the velocity filed and perfect conduction for the magnetic field is established. Moreover the explicit decay rate is given. In particular, the results obtained in this paper also imply the global existence of classical solutions for the full compressible Navier-Stokes equations with N…
The paper is devoted to investigating long time behavior of smooth small data solutions to 3-D quasilinear wave equations outside of compact convex obstacles with Neumann boundary conditions.
We analyze the asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an elliptic operator with mixed boundary conditions on cylindrical domains when the length of the cylinder goes to infinity. We identify the correct limiting problem and show in particular, that in general the limiting behavior is very different from the one for the Dirichlet boundary conditions.
In the first part of the paper boundary-value problems are considered under weak assumptions on the smoothness of the domains. We assume nothing about smoothness of the boundary $\partial D$ of a bounded domain $D$ when the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition is imposed; we assume boundedness of the embedding $i_{1}:H^{1}(D)\to L^{2}(D)$ when the Neumann boundary condition is imposed; we assume boundedness of the embeddings $i_{1}$ and of $i_{2}:H^{1}(D)\to L^{2}(\partial D)$ when the Robin boundary condition is imposed, and, if, in addition, $i_{1}$ and $i_{2}$ are compact, then the boun…
We consider the dissipative SQG equation in bounded domains, first introduced by Constantin and Ignatova in 2016. We show global Holder regularity up to the boundary of the solution, with a method based on the De Giorgi techniques. The boundary introduces several difficulties. In particular, the Dirichlet Laplacian is not translation invariant near the boundary, which leads to complications involving the Riesz transform.
Based on a variant of the frequency function approach of Almgren, we establish an optimal upper bound on the vanishing order of solutions to variable coefficient Schrödinger equations at a portion of the boundary of a $C^{1,Dini}$ domain. Such bound provides a quantitative form of strong unique continuation at the boundary. It can be thought of as a boundary analogue of an interior result recently obtained by Bakri and Zhu for the standard Laplacian.
This paper is concerned with the homogenization of Dirichlet problem of elliptic systems in a bounded, smooth domain of finite type. Both the coefficients of the elliptic operator and the Dirichlet boundary data are assumed to be periodic and rapidly oscillating. We prove the theorem of homogenization and obtain an algebraic rate of convergence that depends explicitly on dimension and the type of the domain.
In a recent paper [7], we were led to consider a distance over a bounded open convex domain. It turns out to be the so-called Thompson metric, which is equivalent to the Hilbert metric. It plays a key role in the analysis of existence and uniqueness of solutions to a class of elliptic boundary-value problems that are singular at the boundary.
We study a singular limit problem of the Allen-Cahn equation with the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition on non-convex domains with smooth boundaries under suitable assumptions for initial data. The main result is the convergence of the time parametrized family of the diffused surface energy to Brakke's mean curvature flow with a generalized right angle condition on the boundary of the domain.
The Khavinson-Shapiro conjecture states that ellipsoids are the only bounded domains in euclidean space satisfying the following property (KS): the solution of the Dirichlet problem for polynomial data is polynomial. In this paper we show that a domain does not have property (KS) provided the boundary contains at least three differrent irreducible algebraic hypersurfaces for which two of them have a common point.
In this paper we study the nonhomongeneous boundary value problem for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensional symmetric domains with finitely many outlets to infinity. The domains may have no self-symmetric outlet (V-type domain), one self-symmetric outlet (Y-type domain) or two self-symmetric outlets (I-type domain). We construct a symmetric solenoidal extension of the boundary value satisfying the Leray-Hopf inequality. After having such an extension, the nonhomogeneous boundary value problem is reduced to homogeneous one and the existence of at least one weak solution foll…
We study a Dirichlet spectral problem for a second-order elliptic operator with locally periodic coefficients in a thin domain. The boundary of the domain is assumed to be locally periodic. When the thickness of the domain $\varepsilon$ tends to zero, the eigenvalues are of order $\varepsilon^{-2}$ and described in terms of the first eigenvalue $μ(x_1)$ of an auxiliary spectral cell problem parametrized by $x_1$, while the eigenfunctions localize with rate $\sqrt{\varepsilon}$.
Given a mean-convex domain $Ω\subset \R^n$ with boundary of class $C^{2,1}$, we provide a representation formula for a boundary integral of the type \[ \int_{\partial Ω} f(k(x)) \, d\mathcal{H}^{n-1} \] where $k\geq 0$ is the mean curvature of $\partial Ω$ and $f$ is non-increasing and sufficiently regular, in terms of volume integrals and defect measure on the ridge set.
Existence of solution and stability results on a class of Non Linear Schroedinger type equations with a bounded nonlinearity are obtained, for a bounded domain and with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The kind of stability under discussion shows that the corresponding solution exhibits features of a solitary wave type.
We consider the inverse boundary value problem of recovering piecewise homogeneous elastic tensor and piecewise homogeneous mass density from a localized lateral Dirichlet-to-Neumann or Neumann-to-Dirichlet map for the elasticity equation in the space-time domain. We derive uniqueness for identifying these tensor and density on all domains of homogeneity that may be reached from the part of the boundary where the measurements are taken by a chain of subdomains whose successive interfaces contain a curved portion.
We introduce the concept of k-strictly convexity to describe the accurate convexity of convex domains some directions of which boundary may be flat. Basing this accurate convexity, we construct sub-solutions the Dirichlet problem for some degenerate-singular Monge-Ampère type equations and prove the sharp boundary estimates for convex viscosity solutions of the problem. As a result, we obtain the optimal global Hölder regularity of the convex viscosity solutions.
This article provides a functional analytical framework for boundary integral equations of the heat equation in time-dependent domains. More specifically, we consider a non-cylindrical domain in space-time that is the $C^2$-diffeomorphic image of a cylinder, i.e., the tensor product of a time interval and a fixed domain in space. On the non-cylindrical domain, we introduce Sobolev spaces, trace lemmata and provide the mapping properties of the layer operators by mimicking the proofs of [M. Costabel, Boundary integral operators for the heat equation, Integral Equations and Operator Theory, 13(4…
