It is shown that the non-homogeneous Dirichlet and Neuman problems for the $2^{nd}$-order Seiberg-Witten equation admit a regular solution once the $\mathcal{H}$-condition (described in the article) is satisfied. The approach consist in…
We study the macroscopic limit of a chain of atoms governed by the Newton equation. It is known from the work of Blanc, Le Bris, Lions, that this limit is the solution of a nonlinear wave equation, as long as this solution remains smooth.…
In this paper we study, from a variational and geometrical point of view, second-order variational problems on Lie groupoids and the construction of variational integrators for optimal control problems. First, we develop variational…
The aim of the paper is to show that the solutions to variational problems with non-standard growth conditions satisfy a corresponding variational inequality without any smallness assumptions on the gap between growth and coercitivity…
We study the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for a fractional porous medium equation with a varying density. We establish existence of weak energy solutions; uniqueness and nonuniqueness is studied as well, according with the behavior…
English version of abstract: The dynamic optimization problems treated by the calculus of variations are usually solved with the help of the 2nd order Euler-Lagrange differential equations. These equations are, generally speaking,…
In this paper, we investigate the Cauchy problem for both linear and semi-linear elliptic equations. In general, the equations have the form \[ \frac{\partial^{2}}{\partial…
In this paper, we prove the existence of a classical solution to a Neumann boundary problem for Hessian equations in uniformly convex domain. The methods depend upon the established of a priori derivative estimates up to second order. So we…
In this article we present a natural generalization of Newton's Second Law valid in field theory, i.e., when the parameterized curves are replaced by parameterized submanifolds of higher dimension. For it we introduce what we have called…
This paper concerns the inclusion of Newton's method into an adaptive finite element method (FEM) for the solution of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). It features an adaptive choice of the damping parameter in the Newton…
We consider the problem of minimising the $L^\infty$ norm of a function of the hessian over a class of maps, subject to a mass constraint involving the $L^\infty$ norm of a function of the gradient and the map itself. We assume zeroth and…
We prove that a certain class of elliptic free boundary problems, which includes the Prandtl-Batchelor problem from fluid dynamics as a special case, has two distinct nontrivial solutions for large values of a parameter. The first solution…
We use a new variational method --based on the theory of anti-selfdual Lagrangians developed in [2] and [3]-- to establish the existence of solutions of convex Hamiltonian systems that connect two given Lagrangian submanifolds in $\R^{2N}$.…
We derive the discrete version of the classical Helmholtz condition. Precisely, we state a theorem characterizing second order finite differences equations admitting a Lagrangian formulation. Moreover, in the affirmative case, we provide…
We adapt the classical theory of local well-posedness of evolution problems to cases in which the nonlinearity can be accurately quantified by two different norms. For ordinary differential equations, we consider $\dot{x} = f(x,x)$ for a…
The present paper extends the classical second-order variational problem of Herglotz type to the more general context of the Euclidean sphere S^n following variational and optimal control approaches. The relation between the Hamiltonian…
The well known Duhamel's principle allows to reduce the Cauchy problem for linear inhomogeneous partial differential equations to the Cauchy problem for the corresponding homogeneous equation. In the paper one of the possible…
We consider a Cauchy Dirichlet problem for a quasilinear second order parabolic equation with lower order term driven by a singular coefficient. We establish an existence result to such a problem and we describe the time behavior of the…
The Lagrange problem is established in the discrete field theory subject to constraints with values in a Lie group. For the admissible sections that satisfy a certain regularity condition, we prove that the critical sections of such…
This paper studies the properties of solutions for a double nonlinear time-dependent parabolic equation with variable density, not in divergence form with a source or absorption. The problem is formulated as a partial differential equation…
