Global well-posedness and scattering for the defocusing energy-supercritical cubic nonlinear wave equation

Bulut, Aynur 25 October 2011 (has links)
We study the initial value problem for the defocusing nonlinear wave equation with cubic nonlinearity F(u)=|u|^2u in the energy-supercritical regime, that is dimensions d\geq 5. We prove that solutions to this equation satisfying an a priori bound in the critical homogeneous Sobolev space exist globally in time and scatter in the case of spatial dimensions d\geq 6 with general (possibly non-radial) initial data, and in the case of spatial dimension d=5 with radial initial data. / text

Contrôle frontière de l'équation des ondes avec amortissement distribué / Boundary control of a wave equation with in-domain damping

Roman, Christophe 30 August 2018 (has links)
Cette thèse est concernée par le contrôle frontière de l’équation d’onde unidimensionnelle, qui peut être utilisée pour modéliser une corde (comme une corde de guitare). L’objectif est d’agir à une frontière pour contrôler et stabiliser l’autre frontière qui est considérée comme une condition aux frontières avec une dynamique instable. Cette thèse suggère des réponses aux deux questions suivantes: Considérons que la condition à la frontière de dynamique instable a des paramètres inconnus. Une loi de contrôle adaptatif non linéaire est-elle toujours efficace, si l’amortissement visqueux pris égal à zéro pour sa conception n’est plus négligé? Comment peut-on prendre en compte l’amortissement dans le domaine afin de stabiliser l’équation d’onde soumise à des conditions aux frontières dynamiques? Cette thèse suggère une méthode pour effectuer une analyse de Lyapunov afin de prouver la robustesse, vis à vis d’une erreur de modèle, d’une loi de contrôle adaptatif non linéaire particulière comme réponse à la première question. Puis, en utilisant une technique de backstepping à dimension infinie, nous développons une loi de contrôle par rétroaction qui stabilise exponentiellement l’équation d’onde considérée. / This thesis is concerned by the boundary control of the one dimensional wave equation, which can be used to model a string (like a guitar string). The objective is to act at one boundary to control and stabilize the otherboundary which is considered to be an unstable dynamic boundary condition. This thesis suggests answers to both following questions:Consider that the unstable dynamics boundary condition has some unknown parameters. Is a nonlinear adaptive control law still performing efficiently, if the viscous damping taken equal to zero for its design is no longer neglected?How can we take into account the in-domain damping in order to stabilize the wave equation subject to dynamic boundary conditions?This thesis suggests a method to derive a Lyapunov analysis in order to prove the robustness mismatch ofparticular nonlinear adaptive control law as the answer of the first question. Then using infinite dimensionalbackstepping technique we develop feedback control law that exponentially stabilize the considered wave equation.

Atratores para equações de ondas em domínios de fronteira móvel / Attractors for a weakly damped semilinear wave equation on time-varying domains

Christian Manuel Surco Chuño 09 June 2014 (has links)
Este trabalho contém um estudo sobre equações de ondas fracamente dissipativas definidas em domínios de fronteira móvel ∂2u/∂t2/ + η∂u/∂t - Δu + g(u) = f(x,t), (x,t) ∈ ^Dτ, onde ^Dτ = ∪t∈(τ,+ ∞) Ot X . Dizemos que domínio Dτ possui fronteira móvel se admitirmos que a fronteira Γt de de Ot varia em relação a t. Nossa contribuição é dividida em três etapas. 1 - Provamos que o problema munido da condição de fronteira de Dirichlet é bem posto no sentido de Hadamard (existência global, unicidade e dependência contínua dos dados) para soluções fortes e fracas. Nessa etapa utilizamos um método clássico que transforma o domínio dependente de t em um domínio fixo. Como consequência observamos que o sistema é essencialmente não autônomo. 2 - Buscamos uma teoria de sistemas dinâmicos não autônomos para estudar o operador solução do problema como um processo U(t; τ) : Xτ → Xτ, t≥ τ, definido em espaços de fase Xt = H01(Ot) × L2(Ot) que são dependentes do tempo t. 3 - No contexto da dinâmica de longo prazo encontramos hipóteses para garantir que o sistema dinâmico associado ao problema de ondas em domínios de fronteira móvel possui um atrator pullback. Basicamente admitimos que o domínio é crescente e \"time-like\". Salientamos que o nosso trabalho é o primeiro que estuda tais equações de ondas sob o ponto de vista de sistemas dinâmicos não-autônomos. Para equações parabólicas, resultados no mesmo contexto foram obtidos anteriormente por Kloeden, Marín-Rubio e Real [JDE 244 (2008) 2062-2090] e Kloeden, Real e Sun [JDE 246 (2009) 4702-4730]. Entretanto o nosso problema á hiperbólico e nã possui a regularidade das equações parabólicas. / In this work we study a weakly dissipative wave equation defined in domains with moving boundary ∂2u/∂t2/ + η∂u/∂t - Δu + g(u) = f(x,t), (x,t) ∈ Dτ, where D&tau> = ∪t∈(τ,+ ∞) Ot X . We says that a domain D&tau has moving boundary if the boundary &Gama;t of Ot varies with respect to t. Our contribution is threefold. 1 - We prove that the wave equation equipped with Dirichlet boundary condition is well-posed in the sense of Hadamard (global existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence with respect to data) for weak and strong solutions. This is done by using a classical argument that transforms the time dependent domain in a fixed domain. As a consequence we see that the problem is essentially non-autonomous. 2 -We find a theory of non-autonomous dynamical systems in order to study the solution operator as a process U(t; τ) : Xτ → Xsub>t, t≥τ, defined in time dependent phase spaces Xt = H01 (Ot) × L2.(Ot. 3 - In the context of long-time behavior of solutions we find suitable conditions to guarantee the existence of a pullback attractor. Roughly speaking, we assume the domain Q is expanding and time-like. We emphasize that our work is the first one that consider wave equations in noncylindrical domains as non-autonomous dynamical systems. With respect to parabolic equations, similar results were early obtained by Kloeden, Marín-Rubio and Real [JDE 244 (2008) 2062-2090] and Kloeden, Real and Sun [JDE 246 (2009) 4702-4730]. However our problem is hyperbolic and does not enjoy regularity properties as the parabolic ones.

Orientador: Maria Amélia Novais Schleicher / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia Mecânica e Instituto de Geociências / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-18T17:07:35Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Mondini_Debora_M.pdf: 2991739 bytes, checksum: 04c2af83e74d4f531ac6c278f2a0f1dc (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011 / Resumo: Em três dimensões, os métodos de migração baseados na resolução da equação da onda unidirecional, além de enfrentar problemas para imagear refletores com fortes mergulhos e tratar ondas evanescentes, ainda são computacionalmente caros. Para os problemas de imagear refletores com forte mergulho e ondas evanescentes, nessa dissertação, usamos a aproximação em série de Padé complexa. Pelo fato da resolução do problema tridimensional ser computacionalmente cara, ao longo dos anos várias técnicas foram elaboradas com o objetivo de reduzir os custos e ainda manter a qualidade do método de migração que se estiver usando. Uma técnica comumente utilizada é o splitting. Nosso objetivo com esse trabalho é testar os operadores de migração usando a aproximação em série de Padé complexa, a técnica de splitting em duas ou quatro direções alternadas, bem como o termo de correção de Li. Para o caso de splitting em apenas duas direções, enfrentamos o problema de anisotropia numérica, ou seja, o operador de migração age de forma diferente em direções diferentes, resultando em grandes erros de posicionamento. Para corrigir esse problema usamos a correção de Li. Sem alterar a migração FD 2D, a correção de Li é uma extrapolação do campo residual por um deslocamento de fase. Quando o splitting é aplicado em quatro direções (nas coordenadas horizontais e nas diagonais) de forma alternada ainda podemos enfrentar problemas de anisotropia numérica e consequentemente mau posicionamento dos refletores muito inclinados. Por isso, testamos a aplicação da correção de Li para este caso. Nessa dissertação, comparamos os resultados obtidos pela técnica de migração FD, os testes foram realizados em um meio homogêneo e nos dados sintéticos 3D SEG-EAGE / Abstract: In three dimensions, migration methods based on solving the one-way wave equation, besides facing problems to handle evanescent waves and to image steep dip reflectors, are still computationally expensive. For the problems of imaging steep dip reflectors and treat evanescent waves, in this dissertation, we use the complex Padé approximation. Because solving three dimensional problems is computationally expensive, several techniques have been developed in order to reduce costs and still maintain the quality of the migration method. A commonly used technique is splitting. Our goal with this study is to test the migration operators using the complex Padé approximation, the technique of splitting into two or four alternating directions, as well as the Li correction term. For the case of splitting in two directions only, we face the problem of numerical anisotropy, i.e., the migration operator acts differently in different directions, resulting in a mispositioning of the reflectors in the situation where the strike direction of the reflector is far off the migration planes. To correct for this problem we use the Li correction. Without changing 2D FD migration, Li correction is an extrapolation of the residual wave field by a phase shift. When splitting is applied in four directions (the horizontal coordinates and the diagonals) alternately we can still face problems of numerical anisotropy and consequently mispositioning of steep dip reflectors. Because of that, we also tested the application of the Li correction. In this dissertation, we compare the results obtained by the FD migration technique. The tests were conducted in a homogeneous media and synthetic 3D data in SEG-EAGE / Mestrado / Reservatórios e Gestão / Mestre em Ciências e Engenharia de Petróleo
