Spectral Analysis of a Family of Second-order Elliptic Operators with Nonlocal Boundary Condition Indexed by a Probabilty Measure

چکیده
Let D ⊂ R be a bounded domain and let L = 1 2 ∇ · a∇+ b · ∇ be a second order elliptic operator on D. Let ν be a probability measure on D. Denote by L the differential operator whose domain is specified by the following non-local boundary condition: DL = {f ∈ C (D) : Z D fdν = f |∂D}, and which coincides with L on its domain. Clearly 0 is an eigenvalue for L, with the corresponding eigenfunction being constant. It is known that L possesses an infinite sequence of eigenvalues, and that with the exception of the zero eigenvalue, all eigenvalues have negative real part. Define the spectral gap of L, indexed by ν, by γ1(ν) ≡ sup{Re λ : 0 6= λ is an eigenvalue for L}. In this paper we investigate the eigenvalues of L in general and the spectral gap γ1(ν) in particular. The operator L and its spectral gap γ1(ν) have probabilistic significance. The operator L is the generator of a diffusion process with random jumps from the boundary, and γ1(ν) measures the exponential rate of convergence of this process to its invariant measure.

متن کاملNumerical resolution of large deflections in cantilever beams by Bernstein spectral method and a convolution quadrature.
The mathematical modeling of the large deflections for the cantilever beams leads to a nonlinear differential equation with the mixed boundary conditions. Different numerical methods have been implemented by various authors for such problems. In this paper, two novel numerical techniques are investigated for the numerical simulation of the problem. The first is based on a spectral method utiliz...

An approximate analytical solution is obtained for hypersonic flow past a slender elliptic cone using second-order perturbation techniques in spherical coordinate systems. The analysis is based on perturbations of hypersonic flow past a circular cone aligned with the free stream, the perturbations stemming from the small cross-section eccentricity. By means of hypersonic approximations for the ...

Boundary Value Problem for Second-order Differential Operators with Mixed Nonlocal Boundary Conditions
In this paper, we study a second order differential operator with mixed nonlocal boundary conditions combined weighting integral boundary condition with another two point boundary condition. Under certain conditions on the weighting functions and on the coefficients in the boundary conditions, called non regular boundary conditions, we prove that the resolvent decreases with respect to the spec...
