Variational Methods and Nonlinear Quasigeostrophic Waves ∗ December 8 , 1998
Physics of Fluids 11(1999), 875-879. In this paper, we discuss zonally periodic steady quasigeostrophic waves in a β−plane channel, by using variational methods. A class of steady quasigeostrophic waves are determined by the potential vorticity field profile, g(·), which is a function of the stream function. We show that zonally periodic steady quasigeostrophic waves exist when the bottom topog...
متن کاملVariational Methods for Nonlinear Elliptic Eigenvalue Problems
In the present note, we give a simple general proof for the existence of solutions of the following two types of variational problems: PROBLEM A. To minimize fa F(x> u, • • • , Du)dx over a subspace VofW>*(tt). PROBLEM B. TO minimize ƒ« F(x, w, • • • , Du)dx for u in V with / a G(x, u, • • • , D^u)dx^c. The solution of the first problem yields a weak solution of a corresponding elliptic boundar...
متن کاملAdaptive frame methods for nonlinear variational problems
In this paper we develop adaptive numerical solvers for certain nonlinear variational problems. The discretization of the variational problems is done by a suitable frame decomposition of the solution, i.e., a complete, stable, and redundant expansion. The discretization yields an equivalent nonlinear problem on the space of frame coefficients. The discrete problem is then adaptively solved usi...
متن کاملAmplitude equations for weakly nonlinear surface waves in variational problems
Among hyperbolic Initial Boundary Value Problems (IBVP), those coming from a variational principle ‘generically’ admit linear surface waves, as was shown by Serre [J. Funct. Anal. 2006]. At the weakly nonlinear level, the behavior of surface waves is expected to be governed by an amplitude equation that can be derived by means of a formal asymptotic expansion. Amplitude equations for weakly non...
متن کاملVariational methods for the numerical solution of nonlinear elliptic problems
Some people may be laughing when looking at you reading in your spare time. Some may be admired of you. And some may want be like you who have reading hobby. What about your own feel? Have you felt right? Reading is a need and a hobby at once. This condition is the on that will make you feel that you must read. If you know are looking for the book enPDFd variational methods for the numerical so...
