In this paper, we consider an elliptic problem in a domain perforated along the boundary. By setting a homogeneous Dirichlet condition on the boundary of the cavities and a homogeneous Neumann condition on the outer boundary of the domain, we prove higher integrability of the gradient of the solution to the problem.

PurposeIn this paper, the authors revisit the computation of closed-form expressions of the topological indicator function for a one step imaging algorithm of two- and three-dimensional sound-soft (Dirichlet condition), sound-hard (Neumann condition) and isotropic inclusions (transmission conditions) in the free space.Design/methodology/approachFrom the addition theorem for translated harmonics, explicit expressions of the scattered waves by infinitesimal circular (and spherical) holes subject to an incident plane wave or a compactly supported distribution of point sources are available. Then the authors derive the first-order term in the asymptotic expansion of the Dirichlet and Neumann traces and their surface derivatives on the boundary of the singular medium perturbation.FindingsAs the shape gradient of shape functionals are expressed in terms of boundary integrals involving the boundary traces of the state and the associated adjoint field, then the topological gradient formulae follow readily.Originality/valueThe authors exhibit singular perturbation asymptotics that can be reused in the derivation of the topological gradient function that generates initial guesses in the iterated numerical solution of any shape optimization problem or imaging problems relying on time-harmonic acoustic wave propagation.

In this paper, we study finite element approximate solutions to the Helmholtz equation in waveguides by using a perfectly matched layer (PML). The PML is defined in terms of a piecewise linear coordinate stretching function with two parameters for absorbing propagating and evanescent components respectively, and truncated with a Neumann condition on an artificial boundary rather than a Dirichlet condition for cutoff modes that waveguides may allow. In the finite element analysis for the PML problem, we have to deal with two difficulties arising from the lack of full regularity of PML solutions and the anisotropic nature of the PML problem with, in particular, large PML damping parameters. Anisotropic finite element meshes in the PML regions depending on the damping parameters are used to handle anisotropy of the PML problem. As a main goal, we establish quasi-optimal a priori error estimates, that does not depend on anisotropy of the PML problem (when no cutoff mode is involved), including the exponentially convergent PML error with respect to the width and the strength of PML. The numerical experiments that confirm the convergence analysis will be presented.

For a given metric tree and two strictly interlacing sequences of numbers there exits a distribution of point masses on the edges (which are Stieltjes strings) such that one of the sequences is the spectrum of the   spectral problem  with the Neumann condition at the root of the tree while the second sequence is the spectrum of the   spectral problem with the Dirichlet condition at the root.

Spectral problems are considered which appear in description of small transversal vibrations of Stieltjes strings. It is shown that the eigenvalues of the Neumann-Neumann problem, i.e. the problem with the Neumann conditions at both ends of the string interlace with the union of the spectra of the Neumann-Dirichlet problems, i.e. problems with the Neumann condition at one end and Dirichlet condition at the other end on two parts of the string. It is shown that the spectrum of Neumann-Neumann problem on the whole string, the spectrum of Neumann-Dirichlet problem on the left part of the string, all but one eigenvalues of the Neumann-Dirichlet problem on the right part of the string and total masses of the parts uniquely determine the masses and the intervals between them.

A family of the spread harmonic measures is naturally generated by partially reflected Brownian motion. Their relation to the mixed boundary value problem makes them important to characterize the transfer capacity of irregular interfaces in Laplacian transport processes. This family presents a continuous transition between the harmonic measure (Dirichlet condition) and the Hausdorff measure (Neumann condition). It is found that the scaling properties of the spread harmonic measures on prefractal boundaries are characterized by a set of multifractal exponent functions depending on the only scaling parameter. A conjectural extension of the spread harmonic measures to fractal boundaries is proposed. The developed concepts are applied to give a new explanation of the anomalous constant phase angle frequency behavior in electrochemistry.

AbstractA fractional heat equation is used to model thermal diffusion in a one-dimensional bar that exhibits subdiffusive behavior. The left end of the bar is subjected to a nonlinear influx of heat. For the boundary constraint at the right end of the bar, two cases are considered, namely a homogeneous Neumann condition and a homogeneous Dirichlet condition. By reducing both cases to a nonlinear Volterra equation, it is shown that a blow-up always occurs. The asymptotic behavior near the blow-up is determined for both cases. It is also shown that the solution for the Neumann case dominates that of the Dirichlet case.

Abstract This paper is the logical follow-up to a work [1] whose results were presented at the 28th French Thermal Congress which was to be held in Belfort in 2020. The model developed at that time is completed in this proposal to consider the specificity of the geothermal heat pump. This is a machine operating upon a mechanical vapor compression cycle, the limit of which is an inverse Carnot cycle. Its specificity consists of a cold loop at the source with the geothermal exchanger and the evaporator, then a hot loop at the sink with the condenser and a floor heat exchanger in the application considered here. We are particularly concerned with the optimal sizing of these heat exchangers through their effectiveness. The parametric sensitivity of this distribution to various boundary conditions is studied, especially by focusing on different conditions at the source: (1) imposed soil temperature, corresponding to a Dirichlet condition, (2) imposed heat flux (including adiabatic case), corresponding to a Neumann condition, (3) imposed mechanical power consumed by the heat pump, and (4) imposed coefficient of performance COP, to all cases being associated a finite thermal capacity in thermal contact with the geothermal exchanger operating in steady-state conditions.

The problem of diffraction of a plane wave by a semi-infinite half plane with mixed boundary conditions (Dirichlet condition on one face and Neumann condition on the other) is solved by a direct and rather straightforward method. The infinite series solution and the far field are in agreement with the previous solutions obtained by the Lebedev–Kontorovich transform method as expected, as the two methods are basically equivalent. An alternate representation of the infinite series solution is presented which is valid for any type of incident field including cylindrical and spherical fields. This representation facilitates easy analysis of transient problems and the special case of an incident plane unit step function on the half plane is given as an example.
