Local and global uniform convergence for elliptic problems on varying domains (Q2368699): Difference between revisions

Let \(u_n\) be the unique (weak) solution of \[ -\Delta u+\lambda u= f\quad\text{in }\Omega_n, \] \[ u= 0\quad\text{on }\partial\Omega, \] where \(\Omega_n\) is a given sequence of open sets in \(\mathbb R^N\), \(\lambda> 0\) and \(f_n\in L^\infty(\mathbb R^N)\). The authors extend \(u_n\) by zero outside \(\Omega_n\) to get a sequence of functions defined on \(\mathbb R^N\). The purpose of this paper is to study necessary and sufficient conditions on \(\Omega\) providing uniform convergence, that is, convergence in \(L^\infty(\mathbb R^N)\) of \(u_n\) to the solution of \[ -\Delta u+\lambda u= f\quad\text{in }\Omega, \] \[ u= 0\quad\text{on }\partial\Omega \] on a limit domain \(\Omega\). The authors deal with two cases, namely local and global uniform convergence.
