چکیده

We consider the problem of minimizing the bending or elastic energy among Jordan curves confined in a given open set Ω. We prove existence, regularity and some structural properties of minimizers. In particular, when Ω is convex we show that a minimizer is necessarily a convex curve. We also provide an example of a minimizer with self-intersections.

Existence, regularity and structure of con ned elasticae

We consider the problem of minimizing the bending or elastic energy among Jordan curves con ned in a given open set Ω. We prove existence, regularity and some structural properties of minimizers. In particular, when Ω is convex we show that a minimizer is necessarily a convex curve. We also provide an example of a minimizer with self-intersections.

Arens Regularity and Weak Amenability of Certain Matrix Algebras

Motivated by an Arens regularity problem, we introduce the concepts of matrix Banach space and matrix Banach algebra. The notion of matrix normed space in the sense of Ruan is a special case of our matrix normed system. A matrix Banach algebra is a matrix Banach space with a completely contractive multiplication. We study the structure of matrix Banach spaces and matrix Banach algebras. Then we...

The Generalized Wave Model Representation of Singular 2-D Systems

    M. and M.   Abstract: Existence and uniqueness of solution for singular 2-D systems depends on regularity condition. Simple regularity implies regularity and under this assumption, the generalized wave model (GWM) is introduced to cast singular 2-D system of equations as a family of non-singular 1-D models with variable structure.These index dependent models, along with a set of boundary co...

THE DENSITY PROFILES OF A LENNARD -JONES FLUID CONFINED TO A SLIT

The structure of fluids confined by planar walls is studied using density functional theory. The density functional used is a generalized form of the hypernetted chain (HNC) functional which contains a term third order in the density. This term is chosen to ensure that the modified density functional gives the correct bulk pressure. The proposed density functional applied to a Lennard-Jones...

Structure of Certain Banach Algebra Products

Let  and  be Banach algebras, ,  and . We define an -product on  which is a strongly splitting extension of  by . We show that these products form a large class of Banach algebras which contains all module extensions and triangular Banach algebras. Then we consider spectrum, Arens regularity, amenability and weak amenability of these products.
