Abstract
For the variational problem \(\int\limits_\Omega {\left\{ {\tfrac{1}{p}{{\left( {K + {{\left| {\nabla u} \right|}^2}} \right)}^{p/2}} - fu} \right\}} \)dx→Min in H1,p(Ω), Ω ⊂ℝ2, p≥2, k≥0, it is shown that in the near of corners a singular expansion μ=ks+w holds, where k εℝ, s=r±t(φ) and w satisfies |w| ≤ cr±+ɛ, etc. with a small ɛ=ɛ (α,p). The pair (α,t(ϕ)) is obtained by a nonlinear eigenvalue problem. It is proved that the eigenvalue α is given by a root of a quadratic polynomial with known coefficients. The theoretical results are used for the investigation of the ordinary Finite Element Method and the Dual Singular Function Method already known from the linear case. Some numerical computations illustrate the theoretical results.
