An Introduction To Obstacle Problems, Calvin Reedy Apr 2021

An Introduction To Obstacle Problems, Calvin Reedy

Honors Theses

The obstacle problem can be used to predict the shape of an elastic membrane lying over an obstacle in a domain Ω. In this paper we introduce and motivate a mathematical formulation for this problem, and give an example to demonstrate the need to search for solutions in non-classical settings. We then introduce Sobolev spaces as the proper setting for solutions, and prove that unique solutions exist in W1,2(Ω).


Banach Spaces Of Analytic Functions, Michael T. Nimchek May 1996

Banach Spaces Of Analytic Functions, Michael T. Nimchek

Honors Theses

In this paper, we explore certain Banach spaces of analytic functions. In particular, we study the space A-1, demonstrating some of its basic properties including non-separability. We ask the question: given a class C of analytic functions on the unit disk D and a sequence [Zn] = 0 for all n? Finally, we explore Mz invariant subspaces of A-1, demonstrating that they may possess the codimension-2 property.
