THE GENERALIZED(NONLINEAR)POISSON PROBLEM:A DUAL VARIATIONAL APPROACH

A series of problems in mechanics and physics are governed by the ordinary Poisson equation which demands linearity,isotropy,and material homo- geneity.In this paper a generalization with respect to nonlinearity,anisotropy,and inhomogeneity is made.Starting from the canonical basic equations in the primal and dual formulation respectively we derive systematically the corresponding generalized variational principles;under certain conditions they can be extended to so called complementary extremum principles allowing for global bounds.For simplicity a restriction to two dimensional problems is made,including twice-connected domains.

EVOLUTION FILTRATION PROBLEMS WITH SEAWATER INTRUSION: TWO-PHASE FLOW DUAL MIXED VARIATIONAL ANALYSIS

Tow-phase flow mixed variational formulations of evolution filtration problems with seawater intrusion are analyzed. A dual mixed fractional flow velocity-pressure model is considered with an air-fresh water and a fresh water-seawater characterization. For analysis and computational purposes, spatial decompositions based on nonoverlapping multidomains, above and below the sea level, are variationally introduced with internal boundary fluxes dualized as weak transmission constraints. Further, parallel augmented and exactly penalized duality algorithms, and proximation semi-implicit time marching schemes, are established and analyzed.

Anomalous Variation of Beat Frequency in a Dual Frequency He-Ne Laser

The beat frequency in a dual frequency He-Ne laser varies while the resonant cavity length is tuned. As to the laser with two longitudinal modes, the variation amplitude is commonly less than 500 kHz, proven by experiments and theories. This study reveals an anomalous variation of the beat frequency when a piece of element is put into the cavity and is aligned with the laser axis. Consequently the variation amplitude couM reach 22 MHz, several dozen times larger than that without the intra-cavity element. This cannot be explained only by laser mode pulling and pushing effects. Some influencing factors are investigated experimentally, including the tilted angle of the element and the distance between its surface and cavity mirror. The qualitative analysis is discussed, which agrees with the experimental results.

EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS FOR SEMILINEAR ELLIPTIC EQUATIONS INVOLVING CRITICAL SOBOLEV EXPONENTS AND HARDY TERMS

This paper deals with the existence of solutions to the elliptic equation-△u-μ/|x|2=λu +|u|2*-2u + f(x,u) in Ω,u = 0 on (?)Ω, where Ω is a bounded domain in RN(N≥3), 0 ∈ Ω 2*=2N/N-2,λ> 0, λ (?) σμ,σμ is the spectrum of the operator -△-μI/|x|2 with zero Dirichlet boundary condition, 0 <μ< μ-,μ-=(N-2)2/4, f(x,u)is an asymmetric lower order perturbation of |u|2* -1 at infinity. Using the dual variational methods, the existence of nontrivial solutions is proved.

Some Abstract Critical Point Theorems for Self-adjoint Operator Equations and Applications

By using the index theory for linear bounded self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space related to a fixed self-adjoint operator A with compact resolvent,the authors discuss the existence and multiplicity of solutions for(nonlinear) operator equations,and give some applications to some boundary value problems of first order Hamiltonian systems and second order Hamiltonian systems.
