Magnetostatic problems in fractal domains

We consider a magnetostatic problem in a 3D "cylindrical" domain of Koch type. We prove existence and uniqueness results for both the fractal and pre-fractal problems and we investigate the convergence of the pre-fractal solutions to the limit fractal one. We consider the numerical approximation of the pre-fractal problems via FEM and we prove a priori error estimates. Some numerical simulations are also shown. Our long term motivation includes studying problems that appear in quantum physics in fractal domains.

Fractal snowflake domain diffusion with boundary and interior drifts

We study a parabolic Ventsell problem for a second order differential operator in divergence form and with interior and boundary drift terms on the snowflake domain. We prove that under standard conditions a related Cauchy problem possesses a unique classical solution and explain in which sense it solves a rigorous formulation of the initial Ventsell problem. As a second result we prove that functions that are intrinsically Lipschitz on the snowflake boundary admit Euclidean Lipschitz extensions to the closure of the entire domain. Our methods combine the fractal membrane analysis, the vector analysis for local Dirichlet forms and PDE on fractals, coercive closed forms, and the analysis of Lipschitz functions.
