Solar flares: A non linear eigenvalue problem in an unbounded domain

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 782)

Abstract

Solar flares are considered, and a description of the astrophysical model is given; simplifications of the model make it possible to give mathematical results of two kinds: one part is devoted to theoretical results about a nonlinear eigenvalue problem in a half plane; the other one is concerned with numerical algorithms and results including turning points, for an approximating problem in a bounded domain.
