Perturbation of Essential Spectra of Exterior Elliptic Problems

چکیده
For a second-order symmetric strongly elliptic differential operator on an exterior domain in Rn it is known from works of Birman and Solomiak that a change of the boundary condition from the Dirichlet condition to an elliptic Neumann or Robin condition leaves the essential spectrum unchanged, in such a way that the spectrum of the difference between the inverses satisfies a Weyl-type asymptotic formula. We show that one can augment, but not diminish, the essential spectrum by imposition of other Neumann-type non-elliptic boundary conditions. The results are extended to 2m-order operators, where it is shown that for any selfadjoint realization defined by an elliptic normal boundary condition (other than the Dirichlet condition), one can augment the essential spectrum at will by adding a suitable operator to the mapping from free Diriclet data to Neumann data. We here also show an extension of the spectral asymptotics formula for the difference between inverses of elliptic problems. The proofs rely on Krĕın-type formulas for differences between inverses, and cutoff techniques, combined with results on singular Green operators and their spectral asymptotics.

Analytic Solution for Hypersonic Flow Past a Slender Elliptic Cone Using Second-Order Perturbation Approximations
An approximate analytical solution is obtained for hypersonic flow past a slender elliptic cone using second-order perturbation techniques in spherical coordinate systems. The analysis is based on perturbations of hypersonic flow past a circular cone aligned with the free stream, the perturbations stemming from the small cross-section eccentricity. By means of hypersonic approximations for the ...
متن کاملFinite Element Exterior Calculus for Parabolic Problems
In this paper, we consider the extension of the finite element exterior calculus from elliptic problems, in which the Hodge Laplacian is an appropriate model problem, to parabolic problems, for which we take the Hodge heat equation as our model problem. The numerical method we study is a Galerkin method based on a mixed variational formulation and using as subspaces the same spaces of finite el...
متن کاملFinite element exterior calculus, homological techniques, and applications
Finite element exterior calculus is an approach to the design and understanding of finite element discretizations for a wide variety of systems of partial differential equations. This approach brings to bear tools from differential geometry, algebraic topology, and homological algebra to develop discretizations which are compatible with the geometric, topological, and algebraic structures which...
