A variational treatment of the hydrogen atom in its ground state, enclosed by a hard spherical cavity of radius Rc , is developed by considering the ansatz wavefunction as the product of the free-atom 1s orbital times a cut-off function to satisfy the Dirichlet boundary condition imposed by the impenetrable confining sphere. Seven different expressions for the cut-off function are employed to evaluate the energy, the cusp condition, <r^-1>,<r>, <r^2>, and the Shannon entropy, and  as a function of Rc in each case. We investigate which of the proposed cut-off functions provides best agreement with available corresponding exact calculations for the above quantities. We find that most of these cut-off functions work better in certain regions of Rc , while others are identified to give bad results in general. The cut-off functions that give, on average, better results are of the form (1- (r/Rc)^n), n=1,2,3

We consider control problems for 2-D Helmholtz equation in a bounded domain with partially coated boundary. These problems are associated with acoustic cloaking. Dirichlet boundary condition is given on one part of the boundary and the impedance boundary condition is given on another part of the boundary. The role of control in control problem under study is played by surface impedance. Solvability of control problem is proved and optimality system is derived.

Abstract Some classes of generalized Schrödinger stationary problems are studied. Under appropriated conditions is proved the existence of at least 1 + $\begin{array}{} \sum_{i=2}^{m} \end{array}$ dim Vλi pairs of nontrivial solutions if a parameter involved in the equation is large enough, where Vλi denotes the eigenspace associated to the i-th eigenvalue λi of laplacian operator with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition.

AbstractWe consider the obstacle problem for the Schrödinger evolution in the exterior of the unit ball with Dirichlet boundary condition. Under radial symmetry we compute explicitly the fundamental solution for the linear Dirichlet Schrödinger propagator and give a robust algorithm to prove sharp L1 → L∞ dispersive estimates. We showcase the analysis in dimensions n = 5, 7. As an application, we obtain global well–posedness and scattering for defocusing energy-critical NLS on with Dirichlet boundary condition and radial data in these dimensions.

A Lotka-Volterra competition model with cross-diffusions under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition is considered, where cross-diffusions are included in such a way that the two species run away from each other because of the competition between them. Using the method of upper and lower solutions, sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions are provided when the cross-diffusions are sufficiently small. Furthermore, the investigation of nonexistence of positive solutions is also presented.
