A two-phase free boundary problem for a semilinear elliptic equation

In this paper we study a two-phase free boundary problem for a semilinear elliptic equation on a bounded domain $Dsubset mathbb{R}^{n}$ with smooth boundary‎. ‎We give some results on the growth of solutions and characterize the free boundary points in terms of homogeneous harmonic polynomials using a fundamental result of Caffarelli and Friedman regarding the representation of functions whose ...

Equivalent a posteriori error estimates for spectral element solutions of constrained optimal control problem in one dimension

‎In this paper‎, ‎we study spectral element approximation for a constrained‎ ‎optimal control problem in one dimension‎. ‎The equivalent a posteriori error estimators are derived for‎ ‎the control‎, ‎the state and the adjoint state approximation‎. ‎Such estimators can be used to‎ ‎construct adaptive spectral elements for the control problems.

The Pointwise Estimates of Solutions for Semilinear Dissipative Wave Equation

In this paper we focus on the global-in-time existence and the pointwise estimates of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the semilinear dissipative wave equation in multi-dimensions. By using the method of Green function combined with the energy estimates, we obtain the pointwise estimates of the solution. keywords: semilinear dissipative wave equation, pointwise estimates, Green function.

A priori error estimates for elliptic optimal control problems with bilinear state equation

In this paper a priori error analysis for the finite element discretization of an optimal control problem governed by an elliptic state equation is considered. The control variable enters the state equation as a coefficient and is subject to pointwise inequality constraints. We derive a priori error estimates for the discretization error in the control variable and confirm our theoretical resul...
