Numerical resolution of exterior Helmholtz problems requires some approach to domain truncation. As an alternative to approximate nonreflecting boundary conditions and invocation of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, we introduce a new, nonlocal…
We study the Hamiltonian dynamics of a charged particle submitted to a pure magnetic field in a two-dimensional domain. We provide conditions on the magnetic field in a neighbourhood of the boundary to ensure the confinement of the…
The present work is aimed at formulating equivalent boundary conditions for the electromagnetic field on the surface of a periodic grating of resistive strips valid for arbitrary incident fields. It is assumed that the period of the grating…

This paper deals with an initial and boundary value problem for a system coupling equation and boundary condition both of Cahn-Hilliard type; an additional convective term with a forced velocity field, which could act as a control on the…
The magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) problem is most often studied in a framework where Dirichlet type boundary conditions on the velocity field is imposed. In this Note, we study the (MHD) system with pressure boundary condition, together with…
In the present work, we study the classical behavior of an electric dipole in presence of an external uniform magnetic field. We derive equations and constants of motion from the Lagrangian formulation. We obtain an infinitely periodic…
We consider a general compressible MHD system, where the magnetic field propagates in a heterogeneous medium. Using suitable penalization in terms of the transport coefficients we perform several singular limits. As a result we obtain: 1. A…
In helical hydromagnetic turbulence with an imposed magnetic field (which is constant in space and time) the magnetic helicity of the field within a periodic domain is no longer an invariant of the ideal equations. Alternatively, there is a…
We derive an exact, time-dependent analytical magnetic field solution for the inner heliosheath, which satisfies both the induction equation of ideal magnetohydrodynamics in the limit of infinite electric conductivity and the magnetic…
We examine the behaviour of charged particles in homogeneous, constant and/or oscillating magnetic fields in the non-relativistic approximation. A special role of the geometric center of the particle trajectory is elucidated. In quantum…
The magnetic field outside the earth is in good approximation a harmonic vector field determined by its values at the earth's surface. The direction problem seeks to determine harmonic vector fields vanishing at infinity and with prescribed…
Models for astrophysical plasmas often have magnetic field lines that leave the boundary rather than closing within the computational domain. Thus, the relative magnetic helicity is frequently used in place of the usual magnetic helicity,…
The static limit of Lorentz-violating electrodynamics in vacuum and in media is investigated. Features of the general solutions include the need for unconventional boundary conditions and the mixing of electrostatic and magnetostatic…
The problem of the charged-particle motion in crossed electric and magnetic fields is investigated, and the validity of the guiding-center representation is assessed in comparison with the exact particle dynamics. While the magnetic field…
An exact analytic solution has been obtained for a uniformly expanding, neutral, infinitely conducting plasma cylinder in an external uniform and constant magnetic field. The electrodynamical aspects related to the emission and…
We study stationary free boundary configurations of an ideal incompressible magnetohydrodynamic fluid possessing nested flux surfaces. In 2D simply connected domains, we prove that if the magnetic field and velocity field are never…
Two boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation in a semi-infinite strip are considered. The main feature of these problems is that, in addition to the function and its normal derivative on the boundary, the functionals of the…
A geometric interpretation is given for certain elliptic-hyperbolic systems in the plane. Among several examples, one which reduces in the elliptic region to the equations for harmonic 1-forms on the projective disc is studied in detail. A…
Vector displacements expressed in spherical coordinates are proposed. They correspond to electromagnetic fields in vacuum that globally rotate about an axis and display many circular patterns on the surface of a sphere. The fields basically…
