    Higher integrability of the Lorentz force for weak solutions to Maxwell's equations in complex geometries
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Druet, Pierre-Étienne
    We consider the stationary Maxwell system in a domain filled with different materials. The magnetic permeability being only piecewise smooth, we have to take into account the natural interface conditions for the electromagnetic fields. We present two sets of hypotheses under which we can prove the existence of weak solutions to the Maxwell system such that the Lorentz force jxB is integrable to a power larger than 6/5. This property is important for the investigation of problems in magnetohydrodynamics, with many industrial applications such as crystal growth.

    Optimal control of 3D state constrained induction heating problems with nonlocal radiation effects
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Druet, Pierre-Étienne; Klein, Olaf; Sprekels, Jürgen; Tröltzsch, Fredi; Yousept, Irwin
    The paper is concerned with a class of optimal heating problems in semiconductor single crystal growth processes. To model the heating process, time-harmonic Maxwell equations are considered in the system of the state. Due to the high temperatures characterizing crystal growth, it is necessary to include nonlocal radiation boundary conditions and a temperature-dependent heat conductivity in the description of the heat transfer process. The first goal of this paper is to prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the state equation. The regularity analysis associated with the time harmonic Maxwell equations is also studied. In the second part of the paper, the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the corresponding linearized equation is shown. With this result at hand, the differentiability of the control-to-state mapping operator associated with the state equation is derived. Finally, based on the theoretical results, first oder necessary optimality conditions for an associated optimal control problem are established.
