On a free boundary problem and minimal surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
From minimal surfaces such as Simons’ cone and catenoids, using refined Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction method, we construct new solutions for a free boundary problem whose free boundary has two components. In dimension 8, using variational arguments, we also obtain solutions which are global minimizers of the corresponding energy functional. This shows that Savin’s theorem [43] is optimal.

Computing Discrete Minimal Surfaces and Their Conjugates
We present a new algorithm to compute stable discrete minimal surfaces bounded by a number of Þxed or free boundary curves in R, S and H. The algorithm makes no restriction on the genus and can handle singular triangulations. For a discrete harmonic map a conjugation process is presented leading in case of minimal surfaces additionally to instable solutions of the free boundary value problem fo...
متن کاملSharp Eigenvalue Bounds and Minimal Surfaces in the Ball
We prove existence and regularity of metrics on a surface with boundary which maximize σ1L where σ1 is the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue and L the boundary length. We show that such metrics arise as the induced metrics on free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball Bn for some n. In the case of the annulus we prove that the unique solution to this problem is the induced metric on the cri...
متن کاملA 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 ...
متن کاملNumerical Solution of a Free Boundary Problem from Heat Transfer by the Second Kind Chebyshev Wavelets
In this paper we reduce a free boundary problem from heat transfer to a weakly Singular Volterra integral equation of the first kind. Since the first kind integral equation is ill posed, and an appropriate method for such ill posed problems is based on wavelets, then we apply the Chebyshev wavelets to solve the integral equation. Numerical implementation of the method is illustrated by two ben...
متن کاملCompactness of the Space of Embedded Minimal Surfaces with Free Boundary in Three-manifolds with Nonnegative Ricci Curvature and Convex Boundary
We prove a lower bound for the first Steklov eigenvalue of embedded minimal hypersurfaces with free boundary in a compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifold which has nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary. When n “ 3, this implies an apriori curvature estimate for these minimal surfaces in terms of the geometry of the ambient manifold and the topology of the minimal surface. A...
