The generalized dock problem

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We show existence and uniqueness for a linearized water wave problem in a two dimensional domain G with corner, formed by two semi-axis Gamma1 and Gamma2 which intersect under an angle alphain(0,pi]. The existence and uniqueness of the solution is proved by considering an auxiliary mixed problem with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. The latter guarantees the existence of the Dirichlet to Neumann map. The water wave boundary value problem is then shown to be equivalent to an equation like vtt+gLambdav=P with initial conditions, where t stands for time, g is the gravitational constant, P means pressure, and Lambda is the Dirichlet to Neumann map. We then prove that Lambda is a positive self-adjoint operator.
