چکیده

Criteria for the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions of div-curl boundary-value problems on bounded regions in space with C-boundaries are developed. The boundary conditions are either given normal component of the field or else given tangential components of the field. Under natural integrability assumptions on the data, finite-energy (L) solutions exist if and only if certain compatibility conditions hold on the data. When compatibility holds, the dimension of the solution space of the boundary-value problem depends on the differential topology of the region. The problem is well-posed with a unique solution in L2(Ω;R) provided, in addition, certain line or surface integrals of the field are prescribed. Such extra integrals are described. These results depend on certain weighted orthogonal decompositions of L vector fields which generalize the Hodge-Weyl decomposition. They involve special scalar and vector potentials. The choices described here enable a decoupling of the equations and a weak interpretation of the boundary conditions. The existence of solutions for the equations for the potentials is obtained from variational principles. In each case, necessary conditions for solvability are described and then these conditions are shown to also be sufficient. Finally L-estimates of the solutions in terms of the data are obtained. The equations and boundary conditions treated here arise in the analysis of Maxwell’s equations and in fluid mechanical problems.

Finite Energy Solutions of Mixed 3d Div-curl Systems

This paper describes the existence and representation of certain finite energy (L-) solutions of weighted div-curl systems on bounded 3d regions with C-boundaries and mixed boundary data. Necessary compatibility conditions on the data for the existence of solutions are described. Subject to natural integrability assumptions on the data, it is then shown that there exist L-solutions whenever the...

Well-posedness of the Conductivity Reconstruction from an Interior Current Density in Terms of Schauder Theory

We show the well-posedness of the conductivity image reconstruction problem with a single set of interior electrical current data and boundary conductivity data. Isotropic conductivity is considered in two space dimensions. Uniqueness for similar conductivity reconstruction problems has been known for several cases. However, the existence and the stability are obtained in this paper for the fir...

Analysis and Computation of Compatible

We develop and analyze least-squares finite element methods for two complementary div-curl elliptic boundary value problems. The first one prescribes the tangential component of the vector field on the boundary and is solved using curl-conforming elements. The second problem specifies the normal component of the vector field and is handled by div-conforming elements. We prove that both least-sq...

On the Local Well-posedness of a 3D Model for Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations with Partial Viscosity

In this short note, we study the local well-posedness of a 3D model for incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with partical viscosity. This model was originally proposed by Hou-Lei in [4]. In a recent paper, we prove that this 3D model with partial viscosity will develop a finite time singularity for a class of initial condition using a mixed Dirichlet Robin boundary condition. The local well-...
