In classical treatment of Maxwell equations, the initial and boundary conditions are introduced by mathematical consideration rather than strictly using the Maxwell equations. As a result, the initial and boundary conditions are not logic…
A common approach for the numerical simulation of wave propagation on a spatially unbounded domain is to truncate the domain via an artificial boundary, thus forming a finite computational domain with an outer boundary. Absorbing boundary…
This paper is concerned with the Dirichlet initial-boundary value problem of a 2-D parabolic-elliptic system proposed to model the formation of biological transport networks. Even if global weak solutions for this system are known to exist,…
A classical problem in general relativity is the Cauchy problem for the linearised Einstein equation (the initial value problem for gravitational waves) on a globally hyperbolic vacuum spacetime. A well-known result is that it is uniquely…
We present an analysis of well-posedness of constrained evolution of 3+1 formulations of GR. In this analysis we explicitly take into account the energy and momentum constraints as well as possible algebraic constraints on the evolution of…
This paper studies an initial boundary value problem for a class of nonlinear Dirac equations with cubic terms and moving boundary. For the initial data with bounded $L^2$ norm and the suitable boundary conditions, the global existence and…
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 $\partial\Sigma$. By using an appropriate…
In relation to the BSSN formulation of the Einstein equations, we write down the boundary conditions that result from the vanishing of the projection of the Einstein tensor normally to a timelike hypersurface. Furthermore, by setting up a…
We develop a well-posedness theory for second order systems in bounded domains where boundary phenomena like glancing and surface waves play an important role. Attempts have previously been made to write a second order system consisting of…
We describe a seemingly unnoticed feature of the text-book Maxwell-Lorentz system of classical electrodynamics which challenges its formulation in terms of an initial value problem. For point-charges, even after appropriate renormalization,…
It is possible to solve the Einstein constraint equations as an evolutionary rather than an elliptic system. Here we consider the Gauss constraint in electrodynamics as a toy model for thist. We use a combination of the evolutionary method…
To study initial-boundary value problems for linear PDEs we have recently proposed two alternative approaches in Fourier space: the "analyticity appoach" and the "elimination by restriction approach". In this paper we present the…
In this paper we focus on the initial-boundary value problem of the 2-D isentropic Euler equations with damping. We prove the global-in-time existence of classical solution to the initial-boundary value problem by the method of energy…
An outstanding issue in the treatment of boundaries in general relativity is the lack of a local geometric interpretation of the necessary boundary data. For the Cauchy problem, the initial data is supplied by the 3-metric and extrinsic…
We study boundary value problems for degenerate elliptic equations and systems with square integrable boundary data. We can allow for degeneracies in the form of an $A_{2}$ weight. We obtain representations and boundary traces for solutions…
We develop an elliptic theory based in $L^2$ of boundary value problems for general wedge differential operators of first order under only mild assumptions on the boundary spectrum. In particular, we do not require the indicial roots to be…
We present an approach for analyzing initial-boundary value problems which is formulated on the finite interval ($0\le x\le L$, where $L$ is a positive constant) for integrable equations whose Lax pairs involve $3\times 3$ matrices.…
All finite element methods, as well as much of the Hilbert-space theory for partial differential equations, rely on variational formulations, that is, problems of the type: find $u\in V$ such that $a(v,u) = l(v)$ for each $v\in L$, where…
We adapt Luk's analysis of the characteristic initial value problem in General Relativity to the asymptotic characteristic problem for the conformal Einstein field equations to demonstrate the local existence of solutions in a neighbourhood…
The classical boundary-value problem of the Einstein field equations is studied with an arbitrary cosmological constant, in the case of a compact ($S^{3}$) boundary given a biaxial Bianchi-IX positive-definite three-metric, specified by two…
