Free boundary problems of magnetohydrodynamics in multi-connected domains

Multi-peak Solutions to Two Types of Free Boundary Problems

We consider the existence of multi-peak solutions to two types of free bound­ ary problems arising in confined plasma and steady vortex pair under conditions on the nonlinearity we believe to be almost optimal. Our results show that the “core” of the solution has multiple connected components, whose boundary called free boundary of the problems consists approximately of spheres which shrink to ...

Free Boundary Problems

Paradigmatic examples are the classical Stefan problem and more general models of phase transitions, where the free boundary is the moving interface between phases. Other examples come from problems in surface science, plastic molding and glass rolling, filtration through porous media, where free boundaries occur as fronts between saturated and unsaturated regions, and others from reaction-diff...

Chemical Attack in Free Boundary Domains

This paper presents a mathematical model for a chemical process used to machine cristal as glass or silica. A short physical description is presented from which we draw the mathematical model. We obtain a coupled parabolic equations system on a free boundary domain with a non-linear condition on the boundary. The existence and the uniqueness is proved in the one-dimensional case.
