Shape perturbation of a nonlinear mixed problem for the heat equation
Abstract
We consider the heat equation in a domain that has a hole in its interior. We impose a Neumann condition on the exterior boundary and a nonlinear Robin condition on the boundary of the hole. The shape of the hole is determined by a suitable diffeomorphism $ϕ$ defined on the boundary of a reference domain. Assuming that the problem has a solution $u_0$ when $ϕ$ is the identity map, we demonstrate that a solution $u_ϕ$ continues to exist for $ϕ$ close to the identity map and that the "domain-to-solution" map $ϕ\mapsto u_ϕ$ is of class $C^\infty$. Moreover, we show that the family of solutions $\{u_ϕ\}_ϕ$ is, in a sense, locally unique. Our argument relies on tools from Potential Theory and the Implicit Function Theorem. Some remarks a the linear case complete the paper.
