    Optimal elliptic Sobolev regularity near three-dimensional, multi-material Neumann vertices
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Haller-Dintelmann, Robert; Höppner, Wolfgang; Kaiser, Hans-Christoph; Rehberg, Joachim; Ziegler, Günter M.
    We study relative stability properties of different clusters of closely packed one- and two-dimensional localized peaks of the Swift-Hohenberg equation. We demonstrate the existence of a 'spatial Maxwell' point where clusters are almost equally stable, irrespective of the number of pes involved. Above (below) the Maxwell point, clusters become more (less) stable with the increase of the number of peaks

    A criterion for a two-dimensional domain to be Lipschitzian
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Rehberg, Joachim
    We prove that a two-dimensional domain is already Lipschitzian if only its boundary admits locally a one-dimensional, bi-Lipschitzian parametrization.

    On the $L^p$-theory for second-order elliptic operators in divergence form with complex coefficients
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) ter Elst, A.F.M.; Haller-Dintelmann, Robert; Rehberg, Joachim; Tolksdorf, Patrick
    Given a complex, elliptic coefficient function we investigate for which values of p the corresponding second-order divergence form operator, complemented with Dirichlet, Neumann or mixed boundary conditions, generates a strongly continuous semigroup on Lp(Ω). Additional properties like analyticity of the semigroup, H∞-calculus and maximal regularity arealso discussed. Finally we prove a perturbation result for real coefficients that gives the whole range of p's for small imaginary parts of the coefficients. Our results are based on the recent notion of p-ellipticity, reverse Hölder inequalities and Gaussian estimates for the real coefficients.

    Optimal Sobolev regularity for linear second-order divergence elliptic operators occurring in real-world problems
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Disser, Karoline; Kaiser, Hans-Christoph; Rehberg, Joachim
    On bounded three-dimensional domains, we consider divergence-type operators including mixed homogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions and discontinuous coefficient functions. We develop a geometric framework in which it is possible to prove that the operator provides an isomorphism of suitable function spaces. In particular, in these spaces, the gradient of solutions turns out to be integrable with exponent larger than the space dimension three. Relevant examples from real-world applications are provided in great detail.

    Essential boundedness for solutions of the Neumann problem on general domains
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) ter Elst, A.F.M.; Meinlschmidt, Hannes; Rehberg, Joachim
    Let the domain under consideration be bounded. Under the suppositions of very weak Sobolev embeddings we prove that the solutions of the Neumann problem for an elliptic, second order divergence operator are essentially bounded, if the right hand sides are taken from the dual of a Sobolev space which is adapted to the above embedding.

    The 3D transient semiconductor equations with gradient-dependent and interfacial recombination
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Disser, Karoline; Rehberg, Joachim
    We establish the well-posedness of the transient van Roosbroeck system in three space dimensions under realistic assumptions on the data: non-smooth domains, discontinuous coefficient functions and mixed boundary conditions. Moreover, within this analysis, recombination terms may be concentrated on surfaces and interfaces and may not only depend on chargecarrier densities, but also on the electric field and currents. In particular, this includes Avalanche recombination. The proofs are based on recent abstract results on maximal parabolic and optimal elliptic regularity of divergence-form operators.

    Regularization for optimal control problems associated to nonlinear evolution equations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Meinlschmidt, Hannes; Meyer, Christian; Rehberg, Joachim
    It is well-known that in the case of a sufficiently nonlinear general optimal control problem there is very frequently the necessity for a compactness argument in order to pass to the limit in the state equation in the standard ``calculus of variations'' proof for the existence of optimal controls. For time-dependent state equations, i.e., evolution equations, this is in particular unfortunate due to the difficult structure of compact sets in Bochner-type spaces. In this paper, we propose an abstract function space and a suitable regularization- or Tychonov term for the objective functional which allows for the usual standard reasoning in the proof of existence of optimal controls and which admits a reasonably favorable structure in the characterization of optimal solutions via first order necessary conditions in, generally, the form of a variational inequality of obstacle-type in time. We establish the necessary properties of the function space and the Tychonov term and derive the aforementioned variational inequality. The variational inequality can then be reformulated as a projection identity for the optimal control under additional assumptions. We give sufficient conditions on when these are satisfied. The considerations are complemented with a series of practical examples of possible constellations and choices in dependence on the varying control spaces required for the evolution equations at hand.

    Parabolic equations with dynamical boundary conditions and source terms on interfaces
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Elst, A.F.M. ter; Meyries, Martin; Rehberg, Joachim
    We consider parabolic equations with mixed boundary conditions and domain inhomogeneities supported on a lower dimensional hypersurface, enforcing a jump in the conormal derivative. Only minimal regularity assumptions on the domain and the coefficients are imposed. It is shown that the corresponding linear operator enjoys maximal parabolic regularity in a suitable Lp-setting. The linear results suffice to treat also the corresponding nondegenerate quasilinear problems.

    Hölder estimates for second-order operators with mixed boundary conditions
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) ter Elst, A.F.M.; Rehberg, Joachim
    In this paper we investigate linear elliptic, second-order boundary value problems with mixed boundary conditions. Assuming only boundedness/ellipticity on the coefficient function and very mild conditions on the geometry of the domain
