The classical level set method, which represents the boundary of the unknown geometry as the zero-level set of a function, has been shown to be very effective in solving shape optimization problems. The present work addresses the issue of…
We provide a numerical method for computing solutions to a free boundary problem arising from the equilibrium state of a floating drop. This numerical method is based on a Newton's method for the underlying nonlinear boundary value…
In this paper, we propose a review of the free boundary formulation for BVPs defined on semi-infinite intervals. The main idea and theorem are illustrated, for the reader convenience, by using a class of second-order BVPs. Moreover, we are…
We develop an approach for the treatment of one--dimensional bounded quantum--mechanical models by straightforward modification of a successful method for unbounded ones. We apply the new approach to a simple example and show that it…
We construct an efficient numerical scheme for solving obstacle problems in divergence form. The numerical method is based on a reformulation of the obstacle in terms of an L1-like penalty on the variational problem. The reformulation is an…
The focus in this paper is interior-point methods for bound-constrained nonlinear optimization, where the system of nonlinear equations that arise are solved with Newton's method. There is a trade-off between solving Newton systems…
We study viscosity solutions to the classical one-phase problem and its thin counterpart. In low dimensions, we show that when the free boundary is the graph of a continuous function, the solution is the half-plane solution. This answers,…
A model of unsteady filtration (seepage) in a porous medium with capillary retention is considered. It leads to a free boundary problem for a generalized porous medium equation where the location of the boundary of the water mound is…
We adapt boundary deformation techniques to solve a Neumann problem for the Helmholtz equation with rough electric potentials in bounded domains. In particular, we study the dependance of Neumann eigenvalues of the perturbed Laplacian with…
This paper proposes and develops new Newton-type methods to solve structured nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization problems with justifying their fast local and global convergence by means of advanced tools of variational analysis and…
In Cardaliaguet-Ley (2006) we have defined a viscosity solution for the gradient flow of the exterior Bernoulli free boundary problem. We prove here that the associated energy is non decreasing along the flow. This justifies the "gradient…
We propose a new way to implement Dirichlet boundary conditions for complex shapes using data from a single node only, in the context of the lattice Boltzmann method. The resulting novel method exhibits second-order convergence for the…
We construct nonnegative weak solutions to the singular parabolic free boundary problem \[ \partial_t u - \Delta u = - \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} u} u_+^\gamma , \] where $\gamma \in (0,1]$, $u_+ := \max\{u,0\}$, and the term in the…
Motivated by a new kind of initial boundary value problem (IBVP) with a free boundary arising in wave-structure interaction, we propose here a general approach to one-dimensional IBVP as well as transmission problems. For general strictly…
We consider general shape optimization problems governed by Dirichlet boundary value problems. The proposed approach may be extended to other boundary conditions as well. It is based on a recent representation result for implicitly defined…
In general, standard necessary optimality conditions cannot be formulated in a straightforward manner for semi-smooth shape optimization problems. In this paper, we consider shape optimization problems constrained by variational…
To solve numerically boundary value problems for parabolic equations with mixed derivatives, the construction of difference schemes with prescribed quality faces essential difficulties. In parabolic problems, some possibilities are…
Rapid growth of constraints is often observed in free evolutions of highly gravitating systems. To alleviate this problem we investigate the effect of adding spatial derivatives of the constraints to the right hand side of the evolution…
In the supersymmetric quantum mechanics formalism, the shape invariance condition provides a sufficient constraint to make a quantum mechanical problem solvable; i.e., we can determine its eigenvalues and eigenfunctions algebraically. Since…
In this paper, we study a free boundary problem for a class of nonlinear nonautonomous size structured population model. Using the comparison principle and upper lower solution methods, we establish the existence of the solution for such…
