Nonlinear desingularization in certain free-boundary problems

Abstract: Abstract. We consider a nonlinear, elliptic, free-boundary problem involving an initially unknown set A that represents, for example, the cross-section of a steady vortex ring or of a confined plasma in equilibrium. The solutions are characterized by a variational principle which allows us to describe their behaviour under a limiting process such that the diameter of A tends to zero, while the solutions degenerate to the solution of a related linear problem. This limiting solution is the sum of the Green funct… Show more

“…Therefore, it follows from (3.6) that For the solutions of vortex ring problems some intégral identities can be derived which will further prövide the possibility of useful checks ~ön the numerical work (see Section 10 below). These identities were first reported in M. S. Berger and L. E. Fraenkel [15] and A. Friedman and B. Turkington [29] in the three-dimensional case. For simplicity, we will only refer to the twodimensional problem.…”

“…In [1,2,27,38], the solutions were obtained by using mountain pass lemma for various nonlinearities f (x, u) and any ε > 0. In [3,6,17,28,35], to find the solutions, the constrained variation methods were used, but the vorticity function f is unknown a priori. Moreover, in [6,17,28], the solutions were obtained by regarding 1/ε 2 as eigenvalue, so ε is not arbitrary.…”

Moreover, in [6,17,28], the solutions were obtained by regarding 1/ε 2 as eigenvalue, so ε is not arbitrary. The asymptotic behavior of the solution pair (u γ , A γ ) of problem (1.6) was investigated in [6,8,12,24,38].…”

“…It was shown by Berger and Fraenkel [1] and Turkington [10] that if the vorticity is sufficiently concentrated, then the flow is a desingularization of a point vortex flow. Conversely, any configuration of point vortices in stable equilibrium can be desingularized ([11], [12], [3])-Nevertheless, configurations of point vortices in equilibrium with respect to a fixed boundary have not been studied extensively.…”
