In this paper, we introduce a general framework to study linear first-order evolution equations on a Banach space X with dynamic boundary conditions, that is with boundary conditions containing time derivatives. Our method is based on the existence of an abstract Dirichlet operator and yields finally to equivalent systems of two simpler independent equations. In particular, we are led to an abstract Cauchy problem governed by an abstract Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator on the boundary space ∂ X . Our approach is illustrated by several examples and various generalizations are indicated. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Semigroup applications everywhere’.

SynopsisIn this paper, we study boundary problems with dynamic boundary conditions, that is, with boundary operators containing time derivatives. The equations under consideration are transformed into abstract Cauchy problems x – Cx = f and x(0) = x0. Abstract theoretical results concerning the operators C are obtained by the study of a naturally arising pseudodifferential operator. For existence and uniqueness theorems concerning solutions of parabolic and hyperbolic equations, we then apply the theory of semigroups in Banach spaces. Some examples of semilinear and quasilinear problems, to which our results apply, are given.

The classical half-line Robin problem for the heat equation may be solved via a spatial Fourier transform method. In this work, we study the problem in which the static Robin condition $$bq(0,t) + {q_x}(0,t) = 0$$ is replaced with a dynamic Robin condition; $$b = b(t)$$ is allowed to vary in time. Applications include convective heating by a corrosive liquid. We present a solution representation and justify its validity, via an extension of the Fokas transform method. We show how to reduce the problem to a variable coefficient fractional linear ordinary differential equation for the Dirichlet boundary value. We implement the fractional Frobenius method to solve this equation and justify that the error in the approximate solution of the original problem converges appropriately. We also demonstrate an argument for existence and unicity of solutions to the original dynamic Robin problem for the heat equation. Finally, we extend these results to linear evolution equations of arbitrary spatial order on the half-line, with arbitrary linear dynamic boundary conditions.

In this article, we are interested in the study of the well-posedness as well as of the long time behavior, in terms of finite-dimensional attractors, of a coupled Allen–Cahn/Cahn–Hilliard system associated with dynamic boundary conditions. In particular, we prove the existence of the global attractor with finite fractal dimension.

Abstract We study an inverse problem involving the restoration of two radiative potentials, not necessarily smooth, simultaneously with initial temperatures in parabolic equations with dynamic boundary conditions. We prove a Lipschitz stability estimate for the relevant potentials using a recent Carleman estimate, and a logarithmic stability result for the initial temperatures by a logarithmic convexity method, based on observations in an arbitrary subdomain.

Abstract In recent years procedures for updating analytical model parameters have been developed by minimizing differences between analytical and preferably experimental modal analysis results. Provided that the initial analysis model contains parameters capable of describing possible damage these techniques could also be used for damage detection. In this case the parameters are updated using test data before and after the damage. Looking at complex structures with hundreds of parameters one generally has to measure the modal data at many locations and try to reduce the number of unknown parameters by some kind of localization technique because the measurement information is generally not sufficient to identify all the parameters equally distributed all over the structure. Another way of reducing the number of parameters shall be presented here. This method is based on the idea of measuring only a part of the structure and replacing the residual structure by dynamic boundary conditions which describe the dynamic stiffness at the interfaces between the measured main structure and the remaining unmeasured residual structure. This approach has some advantage since testing could be concentrated on critical areas where structural modifications are expected either due to damage or due to intended design changes. The dynamic boundary conditions are expressed in Craig-Bampton (CB) format by transforming the mass and stiffness matrices of the unmeasured residual structure to the interface degrees of freedom (DOF) and to the modal DOFs of the residual structure fixed at the interface. The dynamic boundary stiffness concentrates all physical parameters of the residual structure in only a few parameters which are open for updating. In this approach damage or modelling errors within the unmeasured residual structure are taken into account only in a global sense whereas the measured main structure is parametrized locally as usual by factoring mass and stiffness submatrices defining the type and the location of the physical parameters to be identified. The procedure was applied to identify the design parameters of a beam type frame structure with bolted joints using experimental modal data.
