    • Generalized Chessboard Structures Whose Effective Conductivities Are Integer Valued 

      Lukkassen, Dag; Meidell, Annette (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-03-06)
      We consider generalized chessboard structures where the local conductivity takes two values 𝑎 and 𝑏 . All integer combinations of 𝑎 and 𝑏 which make the components of effective conductivity matrix integer valued are found. Moreover, we discuss the problem of estimating the effective conductivity matrix by using the finite-element method.
    • Geometric Construction of Some Lehmer Means 

      Høibakk, Ralph; Lukkassen, Dag; Meidell, Annette; Persson, Lars Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-14)
      The main aim of this paper is to contribute to the recently initiated research concerning geometric constructions of means, where the variables are appearing as line segments. The present study shows that all Lehmer means of two variables for integer power k and for k = m 2 , where m is an integer, can be geometrically constructed, that Lehmer means for power k = 0,1 and 2 can be geometrically ...

    • Homogenization of a singular random one-dimensional PDE with time-varying coefficients 

      Pardoux, Etienne; Piatnitski, Andrey (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-05-04)
      In this paper we study the homogenization of a nonautonomous parabolic equation with a large random rapidly oscillating potential in the case of one-dimensional spatial variable. We show that if the potential is a statistically homogeneous rapidly oscillating function of both temporal and spatial variables, then, under proper mixing assumptions, the limit equation is deterministic, and convergence ...
    • Homogenization of biased convolution type operators 

      Piatnitski, Andrey; Zhizhina, Elena (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-07)
      This paper deals with homogenization of parabolic problems for integral convolution type operators with a non-symmetric jump kernel in a periodic elliptic medium. It is shown that the homogenization result holds in moving coordinates. We determine the corresponding effective velocity and prove that the limit operator is a second order parabolic operator with constant coefficients. We also consider ...

      Piatnitski, Andrey; Ptashnyk, Mariya (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017)
      In this paper homogenization of a mathematical model for plant tissue biomechanics is presented. The microscopic model constitutes a strongly coupled system of reaction-diffusion-convection equations for chemical processes in plant cells, the equations of poroelasticity for elastic deformations of plant cell walls and middle lamella, and Stokes equations for fluid flow inside the cells. The chemical ...

      In this paper homogenization of a mathematical model for biomechanics of a plant tissue with randomly distributed cells is considered. Mechanical properties of a plant tissue are modelled by a strongly coupled system of reaction-diffusion-convection equations for chemical processes in plant cells and cell walls, the equations of poroelasticity for elastic deformations of plant cell walls and middle ...
    • Homogenization of Ferromagnetic Energies on Poisson Random Sets in the Plane 

      Braides, Andrea; Piatnitski, Andrei (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-06)
      We prove that by scaling nearest-neighbour ferromagnetic energies de ned on Poisson random sets in the plane we obtain an isotropic perimeter energy with a surface tension characterised by an asymptotic formula. The result relies on proving that cells with `very long' or `very short' edges of the corresponding Voronoi tessellation can be neglected. In this way we may apply Geometry Measure ...
    • Homogenization of Levy-type operators with oscillating coefficients 

      Kassmann, Moritz; Piatnitski, Andrey; Zhizhina, Elena (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-05)
      The paper deals with homogenization of Lévy-type operators with rapidly oscillating coefficients. We consider cases of periodic and random statistically homogeneous micro-structures and show that in the limit we obtain a Lévy-operator. In the periodic case we study both symmetric and non-symmetric kernels whereas in the random case we only investigate symmetric kernels. We also address a nonlinear ...

      The paper deals with periodic homogenization problem for a para\-bo\-lic equation whose elliptic part is a convolution type operator with rapidly oscillating coefficients. It is assumed that the coefficients are rapidly oscillating periodic functions both in spatial and temporal variables and that the scaling is diffusive that is the scaling factor of the temporal variable is equal to the square of ...

      Amaziane, Brahim; Jurak, Murat; Pankratov, Leonid; Piatnitski, Andrey (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-15)
      In this paper, we consider nonisothermal two-phase flows through heterogeneous porous media with periodic microstructure. Examples of such models appear in gas migration through engineered and geological barriers for a deep repository for radioactive waste, thermally enhanced oil recovery and geothermal systems. The mathematical model is given by a coupled system of two-phase flow equations, and an ...

    • Investigating the affordances of a flipped mathematics classroom from an activity theoretical perspective 

      Fredriksen, Helge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-20)
      Flipped Classroom as a pedagogical framework has gained popularity at secondary and tertiary levels of mathematics education, but there is a lack of research based on a solid theoretical foundation. This article considers the flipped mathematics classroom from the perspective of affordances and cultural–historical activity theory. The empirical background is based on semi-structured interview data ...

      Engtrø, Espen; Sæterdal, Ane (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-21)
      As the sea ice extent steadily decreases, the Arctic region is simultaneously experiencing extensive growth in commercial shipping activities, in areas which previously were considered inaccessible for most ships during large periods of the year, increasing the probability of accidents or incidents occurring. <i>The International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (The Polar Code)</i> states ...

      In this paper, we introduce a blending spline type construction into the isogeometric analysis. We consider a general algorithm for solving a number of boundary value problems, including heat equation, wave equation, linear elasticity, etc. The usage of blending spline construction in the isogeometric context mixes standard finite element and NURBS-based approaches while accumulating the benefits ...
