Extract

In this paper we establish a non-global Cα estimation on the boundary for the gradient of the solution of a Neumann exterior problem in ℝ3. The boundary data of this problem are with small compact support and with C0 norm tending to infinity when the diameter of support data goes to zero. This problem appears, for instance, in the numerical shape optimization problems when the Newton method is used. It turns out that the gradient decreases when the distance to the boundary data supports increases (Saint Venant's principle), which, when used in applications, leads to a strong reduction of the gradient computational cost.
