we study the equilibrium states for an energy functional with a parametric force field on a region of a surface. consideration of free equilibrium states is based on lyusternik - schnirelman's and skrypnik's variational methods. consideration of equilibrium states under a constraint of geometrical character is based on an analog of skrypnik's method, described in cite{vyr3}. in local coordinate...

we describe a variational problem on a surface under a constraintof geometrical character. necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence ofbifurcation points are provided. in local coordinates the problem corresponds toa quasilinear elliptic boundary value problem. the problem can be consideredas a physical model for several applications referring to continuum medium andmembranes.

New General Ray (GR) method for solution of the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the class of elliptic Partial Differential Equations (PDE) is proposed. GRmethod consists in application of the Radon transform directly to the PDE and in reduction PDE to assemblage of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE). The class of the PDE includes the Laplace, Poisson and Helmgoltz equations. GRmethod pr...

In this paper we describe an interactive symbolic-numericinterfaceframework (editor) to the ELLPACK partial diierential equation (PDE) system for building PDE solvers for a much broader range of applications. The domain of applicability of ELLPACK and its parallel version (//ELLPACK) is restricted to second order linear elliptic boundary value problems. This editor allows the speciication of no...

New fast algorithms for solution of the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the class of elliptic Partial Differential Equations (PDE) is proposed. Algorithms are based on new version of General Ray (GR) method which consists in application of the Radon transform directly to the PDE and in reduction PDE to assemblage of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE). The class of the PDE includes the L...

The convex envelope of a given function was recently characterized as the solution of a fully nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE). In this article we study a modified problem: the Dirichlet problem for the underlying PDE. The main result is an optimal regularity result. Differentiability (C1,α regularity) of the boundary data implies the corresponding result for the solution in the in...

the mathematical aspect of cartographic mapping is a process which establishes a unique connection between points of the earth’s sphere and their images on a plane. it was proven in differential geometry that an isometric mapping of a sphere onto a plane with all corresponding distances on both surfaces remaining identical can never be achieved since the two surfaces do not possess the same gau...
