Abstract

We consider an elliptic variational-hemivariational inequality 𝓟 in a reflexive Banach space, governed by a set of constraints K , a nonlinear operator A , and an element f . We associate to this inequality a sequence {𝓟 n } of variational-hemivariational inequalities such that, for each n ∈ ℕ, inequality 𝓟 n is obtained by perturbing the data K and A and, moreover, it contains an additional term governed by a small parameter ε n . The unique solvability of 𝓟 and, for each n ∈ ℕ, the solvability of its perturbed version 𝓟 n , are guaranteed by an existence and uniqueness result obtained in literature. Denote by u the solution of Problem 𝓟 and, for each n ∈ ℕ, let u n be a solution of Problem 𝓟 n . The main result of this paper states the strong convergence of u n → u in X , as n → ∞. We show that the main result extends a number of results previously obtained in the study of Problem 𝓟. Finally, we illustrate the use of our abstract results in the study of a mathematical model which describes the contact of an elastic body with a rigid-deformable foundation and provide the corresponding mechanical interpretations.

Weak and stationary solutions to a Cahn–Hilliard–Brinkman model with singular potentials and source terms

Abstract

We study a phase field model proposed recently in the context of tumour growth. The model couples a Cahn–Hilliard–Brinkman (CHB) system with an elliptic reaction-diffusion equation for a nutrient. The fluid velocity, governed by the Brinkman law, is not solenoidal, as its divergence is a function of the nutrient and the phase field variable, i.e., solution-dependent, and frictionless boundary conditions are prescribed for the velocity to avoid imposing unrealistic constraints on the divergence relation. In this paper we give a first result on the existence of weak and stationary solutions to the CHB model for tumour growth with singular potentials, specifically the double obstacle potential and the logarithmic potential, which ensures that the phase field variable stays in the physically relevant interval. New difficulties arise from the interplay between the singular potentials and the solution-dependent source terms, but can be overcome with several key estimates for the approximations of the singular potentials, which maybe of independent interest. As a consequence, included in our analysis is an existence result for a Darcy variant, and our work serves to generalise recent results on weak and stationary solutions to the Cahn–Hilliard inpainting model with singular potentials.

Abstract

We consider a nonlinear elliptic equation driven by the ( p , q )–Laplacian plus an indefinite potential. The reaction is ( p − 1)–superlinear and the boundary term is parametric and concave. Using variational tools from the critical point theory together with truncation, perturbation and comparison techniques and critical groups, we show that for all small values of the parameter, the problem has at least five nontrivial smooth solutions, all with sign information and which are linearly ordered.

Abstract

In this note, we study isolated singular positive solutions of Kirchhoff equation Mθ (u)(− Δ )u=upinΩ ∖ {0},u=0on∂ Ω , $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle M_\theta(u)(-{\it\Delta}) u =u^p \quad{\rm in}\quad {\it\Omega}\setminus \{0\},\qquad u=0\quad {\rm on}\quad \partial {\it\Omega}, \end{array}$$ where p > 1, θ ∈ ℝ, M θ ( u ) = θ + ∫ Ω |∇ u | dx , Ω is a bounded smooth domain containing the origin in ℝ N with N ≥ 2. In the subcritical case: 1 < p < NN− 2 $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \frac{N}{N-2} \end{array}$ if N ≥ 3, 1 < p < + ∞ if N = 2, we employee the Schauder fixed point theorem to derive a sequence of positive isolated singular solutions for the above equation such that M θ ( u ) > 0. To estimate M θ ( u ), we make use of the rearrangement argument. Furthermore, we obtain a sequence of isolated singular solutions such that M θ ( u ) < 0, by analyzing relationship between the parameter λ and the unique solution u λ of − Δ u+λ up=kδ 0inB1(0),u=0on∂ B1(0). $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle -{\it\Delta} u+\lambda u^p=k\delta_0\quad{\rm in}\quad B_1(0),\qquad u=0\quad {\rm on}\quad \partial B_1(0). \end{array}$$ In the supercritical case: NN− 2 $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \frac{N}{N-2} \end{array}$ ≤ p < N+2N− 2 $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \frac{N+2}{N-2} \end{array}$ with N ≥ 3, we obtain two isolated singular solutions u i with i = 1, 2 such that M θ ( u i ) > 0 under other assumptions.

We provide new sufficient conditions for the existence of T -periodic solutions for the ϕ -laplacian pendulum equation ( ϕ ( x ′))′ + k x ′ + a sin x = e ( t ), where e ∈ C͠ T .

Abstract

In this paper, we study the following nonlinear magnetic Schrödinger-Poisson type equation (ε i∇ − A(x))2u+V(x)u+ϵ − 2(|x|− 1∗ |u|2)u=f(|u|2)uin R3,u∈ H1(R3,C), $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \left\{\!\begin{aligned}&\Big(\frac{\varepsilon}{i}\nabla-A(x)\Big)^{2}u+V(x)u+\epsilon^{-2}(\vert x\vert^{-1}\ast \vert u\vert^{2})u = f(|u|^{2})u\quad\hbox{in }\mathbb{R}^3,\\&u\in H^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{3}, \mathbb{C}),\end{aligned}\right. \end{array}$$ where ϵ > 0, V : ℝ 3 → ℝ and A : ℝ 3 → ℝ 3 are continuous potentials. Under a local assumption on the potential V , by variational methods, penalization technique, and Ljusternick-Schnirelmann theory, we prove multiplicity and concentration properties of nontrivial solutions for ε > 0 small. In this problem, the function f is only continuous, which allow to consider larger classes of nonlinearities in the reaction.

Abstract

This paper deals with the following Choquard equation with a local nonlinear perturbation: − Δ u+u=Iα ∗ |u|α 2+1|u|α 2− 1u+f(u),x∈ R2;u∈ H1(R2), $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} - {\it\Delta} u+u=\left(I_{\alpha}*|u|^{\frac{\alpha}{2}+1}\right)|u|^{\frac{\alpha}{2}-1}u +f(u), & x\in \mathbb{R}^2; \\ u\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^2), \end{array} \right. \end{array}$$ where α ∈ (0, 2), I α : ℝ 2 → ℝ is the Riesz potential and f ∈ 𝓒(ℝ, ℝ) is of critical exponential growth in the sense of Trudinger-Moser. The exponent α 2+1 $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \frac{\alpha}{2}+1 \end{array}$ is critical with respect to the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality. We obtain the existence of a nontrivial solution or a Nehari-type ground state solution for the above equation in the doubly critical case, i.e. the appearance of both the lower critical exponent α 2+1 $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \frac{\alpha}{2}+1 \end{array}$ and the critical exponential growth of f ( u ).

Abstract

In this paper, we prove a global Calderón-Zygmund type estimate in the framework of Lorentz spaces for a variable power of the gradients to the zero-Dirichlet problem of general nonlinear elliptic equations with the nonlinearities satisfying Orlicz growth. It is mainly assumed that the variable exponents p ( x ) satisfy the log-Hölder continuity, while the nonlinearity and underlying domain ( A , Ω ) is ( δ , R 0 )-vanishing in x ∈ Ω .

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to investigate the solvability of an infinite system of nonlinear integral equations on the real half-axis. The considerations will be located in the space of function sequences which are bounded at every point of the half-axis. The main tool used in the investigations is the technique associated with measures of noncompactness in the space of functions defined, continuous and bounded on the real half-axis with values in the space l ∞ consisting of real bounded sequences endowed with the standard supremum norm. The essential role in our considerations is played by the fact that we will use a measure of noncompactness constructed on the basis of a measure of noncompactness in the mentioned sequence space l ∞ . An example illustrating our result will be included.

Abstract

We consider a nonlinear parametric Dirichlet problem driven by the (p, q)-Laplacian (double phase problem) with a reaction exhibiting the competing effects of three different terms. A parametric one consisting of the sum of a singular term and of a drift term (convection) and of a nonparametric perturbation which is resonant. Using the frozen variable method and eventually a fixed point argument based on an iterative asymptotic process, we show that the problem has a positive smooth solution.

We require that the potential V only satisfies certain local condition. Combining this with other suitable assumptions on f , we construct a family of semiclassical solutions. Moreover, the concentration phenomena around local minimum of V , convergence and exponential decay of semiclassical solutions are also explored. In the proofs we apply penalization method, linking argument and some analytical techniques since the local property of the potential and the strongly indefinite character of the energy functional.

Abstract

In this paper, the initial boundary value problem for a nonlocal semilinear pseudo-parabolic equation is investigated, which was introduced to model phenomena in population dynamics and biological sciences where the total mass of a chemical or an organism is conserved. The existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior of the global solution and the blowup phenomena of solution with subcritical initial energy are established. Then these results are extended parallelly to the critical initial energy. Further the blowup phenomena of solution with supercritical initial energy is proved, but the existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior of the global solution with supercritical initial energy are still open.

Abstract

Using monotonicity methods and some variational argument we consider nonlinear problems which involve monotone potential mappings satisfying condition (S) and their strongly continuous perturbations. We investigate when functional whose minimum is obtained by a direct method of the calculus of variations satisfies the Palais-Smale condition, relate minimizing sequence and Galerkin approximaitons when both exist, then provide structure conditions on the derivative of the action functional under which bounded Palais-Smale sequences are convergent. Finally, we make some comment concerning the convergence of Palais-Smale sequence obtained in the mountain pass theorem due to Rabier.

Abstract

In this paper, we study blow-up criteria and instability of normalized standing waves for the fractional Schrödinger-Choquard equation i∂ tψ − (− Δ )sψ +(Iα ∗ |ψ |p)|ψ |p− 2ψ =0. $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle i\partial_t\psi- (-{\it\Delta})^s \psi+(I_\alpha \ast |\psi|^{p})|\psi|^{p-2}\psi=0. \end{array}$$ By using localized virial estimates, we firstly establish general blow-up criteria for non-radial solutions in both L 2 -critical and L 2 -supercritical cases. Then, we show existence of normalized standing waves by using the profile decomposition theory in H s . Combining these results, we study the strong instability of normalized standing waves. Our obtained results greatly improve earlier results.

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the following nonlinear Hamiltonian elliptic system with gradient term − Δ u+b→ (x)⋅ ∇ u+V(x)u=Hv(x,u,v)inRN,− Δ v− b→ (x)⋅ ∇ v+V(x)v=Hu(x,u,v)inRN. $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \left\{\,\, \begin{array}{ll} -{\it\Delta} u +\vec{b}(x)\cdot \nabla u+V(x)u = H_{v}(x,u,v)\,\,\hbox{in}\,\mathbb{R}^{N},\\[-0.3em] -{\it\Delta} v -\vec{b}(x)\cdot \nabla v +V(x)v = H_{u}(x,u,v)\,\,\hbox{in}\,\mathbb{R}^{N}.\\ \end{array} \right. \end{array}$$ Compared with some existing issues, the most interesting feature of this paper is that we assume that the nonlinearity satisfies a local super-quadratic condition, which is weaker than the usual global super-quadratic condition. This case allows the nonlinearity to be super-quadratic on some domains and asymptotically quadratic on other domains. Furthermore, by using variational method, we obtain new existence results of ground state solutions and infinitely many geometrically distinct solutions under local super-quadratic condition. Since we are without more global information on the nonlinearity, in the proofs we apply a perturbation approach and some special techniques.

Positivity of solutions to the Cauchy problem for linear and semilinear biharmonic heat equations

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the positivity of solutions to the Cauchy problem for linear and nonlinear parabolic equations with the biharmonic operator as fourth order elliptic principal part. Generally, Cauchy problems for parabolic equations of fourth order have no positivity preserving property due to the change of sign of the fundamental solution. One has eventual local positivity for positive initial data, but on short time scales, one will in general have also regions of negativity. The first goal of this paper is to find sufficient conditions on initial data which ensure the existence of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the linear biharmonic heat equation which are positive for all times and in the whole space . The second goal is to apply these results to show existence of globally positive solutions to the Cauchy problem for a semilinear biharmonic parabolic equation.

Abstract

In this paper, the equations and systems of Monge-Ampère with parameters are considered. We first show the uniqueness of of nontrivial radial convex solution of Monge-Ampère equations by using sharp estimates. Then we analyze the existence and nonexistence of nontrivial radial convex solutions to Monge-Ampère systems, which includes some new ingredients in the arguments. Furthermore, the asymptotic behavior of nontrivial radial convex solutions for Monge-Ampère systems is also considered. Finally, as an application, we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of nontrivial radial convex solutions of the power-type system of Monge-Ampère equations.

According to the different range of q , we discuss the multiplicity of solutions to the above equation, using variational methods under suitable conditions. In order to overcome the lack of compactness, we appeal to the concentration compactness principle in the Choquard-type setting.

Abstract

We consider nonlinear sub-elliptic systems with VMO-coefficients for the case 1 < p < 2 under controllable growth conditions, as well as natural growth conditions, respectively, in the Heisenberg group. On the basis of a generalization of the technique of 𝓐-harmonic approximation introduced by Duzaar-Grotowski-Kronz, and an appropriate Sobolev-Poincaré type inequality established in the Heisenberg group, we prove partial Hölder continuity results for vector-valued solutions of discontinuous sub-elliptic problems. The primary model covered by our analysis is the non-degenerate sub-elliptic p -Laplacian system with VMO-coefficients, involving sub-quadratic growth terms.

Abstract

In this work we investigate dynamical systems designed to approach the solution sets of inclusion problems involving the sum of two maximally monotone operators. Our aim is to design methods which guarantee strong convergence of trajectories towards the minimum norm solution of the underlying monotone inclusion problem. To that end, we investigate in detail the asymptotic behavior of dynamical systems perturbed by a Tikhonov regularization where either the maximally monotone operators themselves, or the vector field of the dynamical system is regularized. In both cases we prove strong convergence of the trajectories towards minimum norm solutions to an underlying monotone inclusion problem, and we illustrate numerically qualitative differences between these two complementary regularization strategies. The so-constructed dynamical systems are either of Krasnoselskiĭ-Mann, of forward-backward type or of forward-backward-forward type, and with the help of injected regularization we demonstrate seminal results on the strong convergence of Hilbert space valued evolutions designed to solve monotone inclusion and equilibrium problems.

Abstract

The paper deals with a posteriori analysis of the spectral element discretization of a non linear heat equation.

We prove that those indicators are upper and lower bounded by the error estimation.

Large data existence theory for three-dimensional unsteady flows of rate-type viscoelastic fluids with stress diffusion

Abstract

We prove that there exists a weak solution to a system governing an unsteady flow of a viscoelastic fluid in three dimensions, for arbitrarily large time interval and data. The fluid is described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for the velocity v , coupled with a diffusive variant of a combination of the Oldroyd-B and the Giesekus models for a tensor 𝔹. By a proper choice of the constitutive relations for the Helmholtz free energy (which, however, is non-standard in the current literature, despite the fact that this choice is well motivated from the point of view of physics) and for the energy dissipation, we are able to prove that 𝔹 enjoys the same regularity as v in the classical three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. This enables us to handle any kind of objective derivative of 𝔹, thus obtaining existence results for the class of diffusive Johnson-Segalman models as well. Moreover, using a suitable approximation scheme, we are able to show that 𝔹 remains positive definite if the initial datum was a positive definite matrix (in a pointwise sense). We also show how the model we are considering can be derived from basic balance equations and thermodynamical principles in a natural way.

Abstract

When the vorticity is monotone with depth, we present a variational formulation for steady periodic water waves of the equatorial flow in the f -plane approximation, and show that the governing equations for this motion can be obtained by studying variations of a suitable energy functional 𝓗 in terms of the stream function and the thermocline. We also compute the second variation of the constrained energy functional, which is related to the linear stability of steady water waves.

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the following nonlinear Schrödinger equation: iut+Δ gu+ia(x)u− |u|p− 1u=0(x,t)∈ M× (0,+∞ ),u(x,0)=u0(x)x∈ M, $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \begin{cases}iu_t+{\it\Delta}_g u+ia(x)u-|u|^{p-1}u=0\qquad (x,t)\in \mathcal{M} \times (0,+\infty), \cr u(x,0)=u_0(x)\qquad x\in \mathcal{M},\end{cases} \end{array}$$(0.1) where (𝓜, g ) is a smooth complete compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n ( n = 2, 3) without boundary. For the damping terms − a ( x )(1 − Δ ) −1 a( x ) u t and ia(x)(− Δ )12a(x)u, $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle ia(x)(-{\it\Delta})^{\frac12}a(x)u, \end{array}$ the exponential stability results of system (0.1) have been proved by Dehman et al. (Math Z 254(4): 729-749, 2006), Laurent. (SIAM J. Math. Anal. 42(2): 785-832, 2010) and Cavalcanti et al. (Math Phys 69(4): 100, 2018). However, from the physical point of view, it would be more important to consider the stability of system (0.1) with the damping term ia ( x ) u , which is still an open problem. In this paper, we obtain the exponential stability of system (0.1) by Morawetz multipliers in non Euclidean geometries and compactness-uniqueness arguments.

On a degenerate hyperbolic problem for the 3-D steady full Euler equations with axial-symmetry

Abstract

The transonic channel flow problem is one of the most important problems in mathematical fluid dynamics. The structure of solutions near the sonic curve is a key part of the whole transonic flow problem. This paper constructs a local classical hyperbolic solution for the 3-D axisymmetric steady compressible full Euler equations with boundary data given on the degenerate hyperbolic curve. By introducing a novel set of dependent and independent variables, we use the idea of characteristic decomposition to transform the axisymmetric Euler equations as a new system which has explicitly singularity-regularity structures. We first establish a local classical solution for the new system in a weighted metric space and then convert the solution in terms of the original variables.

Existence of at least one or two positive solutions for above equation is obtained by using the monotonicity trick. Nonexistence criterion is also established by virtue of the corresponding Pohožaev identity. In particular, we show nonexistence properties for the 3-sublinear case as well as the critical case. Under general assumption on the nonlinearity, existence result is also established for the whole space case that Ω = ℝ 3 by using property of the Pohožaev identity and some delicate analysis.

Abstract

We study boundary value problems associated with singular, strongly nonlinear differential equations with functional terms of type ( Φ ( k ( t ) x ′ ( t ) ) ) ′ + f ( t , G x ( t ) ) ρ ( t , x ′ ( t ) ) = 0 , $$\big({\it \Phi}(k(t)\,x'(t))\big)' + f(t,{{\mathcal{G}}}_x(t))\,\rho(t, x'(t)) = 0,$$ on a compact interval [ a , b ]. These equations are quite general due to the presence of a strictly increasing homeomorphism Φ , the so-called Φ -Laplace operator, of a non-negative function k , which may vanish on a set of null measure, and moreover of a functional term G x . We look for solutions, in a suitable weak sense, which belong to the Sobolev space W 1,1 ([ a , b ]). Under the assumptions of the existence of a well-ordered pair of upper and lower solutions and of a suitable Nagumo-type growth condition, we prove an existence result by means of fixed point arguments.

It is shown that in this general setting, when posed under no-flux boundary conditions for n and c and homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions for u , and for any suitably regular initial data, an associated initial value problem possesses at least one globally defined solution in an appropriate generalized sense. Since it is well-known that in the absence of absorption, already the corresponding fluid-free subsystem with u ≡ 0 and μ = 0 admits some solutions blowing up in finite time, this particularly indicates that any power-type superlinear degradation of the form in (*) goes along with some significant regularizing effect.

Abstract

It is known that functions in a Sobolev space with critical exponent embed into the space of functions of bounded mean oscillation, and therefore satisfy the John-Nirenberg inequality and a corresponding exponential integrability estimate. While these inequalities are optimal for general functions of bounded mean oscillation, the main result of this paper is an improvement for functions in a class of critical Sobolev spaces. Precisely, we prove the inequality H∞β({x∈Ω:|Iαf(x)|>t})≤Ce−ctq′ $$\mathcal{H}^{\beta}_{\infty}(\{x\in \Omega:|I_\alpha f(x)|>t\})\leq Ce^{-ct^{q'}}$$ for all ∥f∥LN/α,q(Ω)≤1 $\|f\|_{L^{N/\alpha,q}(\Omega)}\leq 1$ and any β∈(0,N],whereΩ⊂RN,H∞β $\beta \in (0,N], \; {\text{where}} \; \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N, \mathcal{H}^{\beta}_{\infty}$ is the Hausdorff content, L N / α , q ( Ω ) is a Lorentz space with q ∈ (1,∞], q' = q /( q − 1) is the Hölder conjugate to q , and I α f denotes the Riesz potential of f of order α ∈ (0, N ).

Abstract

In this paper we study a class of one-parameter family of elliptic equations which combines local and nonlocal operators, namely the Laplacian and the fractional Laplacian. We analyze spectral properties, establish the validity of the maximum principle, prove existence, nonexistence, symmetry and regularity results for weak solutions. The asymptotic behavior of weak solutions as the coupling parameter vanishes (which turns the problem into a purely nonlocal one) or goes to infinity (reducing the problem to the classical semilinear Laplace equation) is also investigated.

Abstract

This paper concerns with detailed analysis of a reaction-diffusion host-pathogen model with space-dependent parameters in a bounded domain. By considering the fact the mobility of host individuals playing a crucial role in disease transmission, we formulate the model by a system of degenerate reaction-diffusion equations, where host individuals disperse at distinct rates and the mobility of pathogen is ignored in the environment.We first establish the well-posedness of the model, including the global existence of solution and the existence of the global compact attractor. The basic reproduction number is identified, and also characterized by some equivalent principal spectral conditions, which establishes the threshold dynamical result for pathogen extinction and persistence. When the positive steady state is confirmed, we investigate the asymptotic profiles of positive steady state as host individuals disperse at small and large rates. Our result suggests that small and large diffusion rate of hosts have a great impacts in formulating the spatial distribution of the pathogen.

This paper is devoted to the study of initial-boundary value problems for time-fractional analogues of Korteweg-de Vries, Benjamin-Bona-Mahony, Burgers, Rosenau, Camassa-Holm, Degasperis-Procesi, Ostrovsky and time-fractional modified Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equations on a bounded domain. Sufficient conditions for the blowing-up of solutions in finite time of aforementioned equations are presented. We also discuss the maximum principle and influence of gradient non-linearity on the global solvability of initial-boundary value problems for the time-fractional Burgers equation. The main tool of our study is the Pohozhaev nonlinear capacity method. We also provide some illustrative examples.

Existence of fixed point of a Frobenius-Perron type operator P : L 1 ⟶ L 1 generated by a family { φ y } y ∈ Y of nonsingular Markov maps defined on a σ -finite measure space ( I , Σ , m ) is studied. Two fairly general conditions are established and it is proved that they imply for any g ∈ G = { f ∈ L 1 : f ≥ 0, and ∥ f ∥ = 1}, the convergence (in the norm of L 1 ) of the sequence {Pjg}j=1∞ $\begin{array}{} \{P^{j}g\}_{j = 1}^{\infty} \end{array} $ to a unique fixed point g 0 .

The initial boundary value problem for the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations is studied in 2D bounded domain with a power cusp singular point O on the boundary. The case of the boundary value with a nonzero flow rate is considered. In this case there is a source/sink in O and the solution necessary has infinite energy integral. In the first part of the paper the formal asymptotic expansion of the solution near the singular point is constructed. The justification of the asymptotic expansion and the existence of a solution are proved in the second part of the paper.

Abstract

The initial boundary value problem for the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations is studied in 2D bounded domain with a power cusp singular point O on the boundary. We consider the case where the boundary value has a nonzero flux over the boundary. In this case there is a source/sink in O and the solution necessary has infinite energy integral. In the first part of the paper the formal asymptotic expansion of the solution near the singular point was constructed. In this, second part, the constructed asymptotic decomposition is justified, i.e., existence of the solution which is represented as the sum of the constructed asymptotic expansion and a term with finite energy norm is proved. Moreover, it is proved that the solution represented in this form is unique.

By showing the Pohozaev identity for weak solutions to the limited problem of the above p-harmonic equation and using a variant version of Mountain Pass Theorem, we prove the existence and nonexistence of nontrivial solutions to the above equation.

As a consequence, it is shown that the sequence of Picard’s iteration { T n ( x )} also converges weakly to a fixed point of T . The results are new even in a Hilbert space. The Krasnosel’skiĭ-Mann and the Halpern iteration schemes are studied as well.

In the more challenging class of composite fixed point problems involving operators that do not share common fixed points, current methods require the activation of all the operators at each iteration, and the question of maintaining convergence while updating only blocks of operators is open. We propose a method that achieves this goal and analyze its asymptotic behavior. Weak, strong, and linear convergence results are established by exploiting a connection with the theory of concentrating arrays. Applications to several nonlinear and nonsmooth analysis problems are presented, ranging from monotone inclusions and inconsistent feasibility problems, to variational inequalities and minimization problems arising in data science.

Abstract

We consider a class of semilinear equations with an absorption nonlinear zero order term of power type, where elliptic condition is given in terms of Gauss measure. In the case of the superlinear equation we introduce a suitable definition of solutions in order to prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution in ℝ N without growth restrictions at infinity. A comparison result in terms of the half-space Gaussian symmetrized problem is also proved. As an application, we give some estimates in measure of the growth of the solution near the boundary of its support for sublinear equations. Finally we generalize our results to problems with a nonlinear zero order term not necessary of power type.

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a class of semilinear elliptic equation with critical exponent and -1 growth. By using the critical point theory for nonsmooth functionals, two positive solutions are obtained. Moreover, the symmetry and monotonicity properties of the solutions are proved by the moving plane method. Our results improve the corresponding results in the literature.

Abstract

This paper deals with a Cauchy problem of the full compressible Hall-magnetohydrodynamic flows. We establish the existence and uniqueness of global solution, provided that the initial energy is suitably small but the initial temperature allows large oscillations. In addition, the large time behavior of the global solution is obtained.

Abstract

We study positive solutions to the steady state reaction diffusion equation of the form: − Δ u=λ f(u); Ω ∂ u∂ η +λ u=0; ∂ Ω $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \left\lbrace \begin{matrix} -{\it\Delta} u =\lambda f(u);~ {\it\Omega} \\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial \eta}+ \sqrt{\lambda} u=0;~\partial {\it\Omega}\end{matrix} \right. \end{array}$$ where λ > 0 is a positive parameter, Ω is a bounded domain in ℝ N when N > 1 (with smooth boundary ∂ Ω ) or Ω = (0, 1), and ∂ u∂ η $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \frac{\partial u}{\partial \eta} \end{array}$ is the outward normal derivative of u . Here f ( s ) = ms + g ( s ) where m ≥ 0 (constant) and g ∈ C 2 [0, r ) ∩ C [0, ∞) for some r > 0. Further, we assume that g is increasing, sublinear at infinity, g (0) = 0, g ′(0) = 1 and g ″(0) > 0. In particular, we discuss the existence of multiple positive solutions for certain ranges of λ leading to the occurrence of Σ -shaped bifurcation diagrams. We establish our multiplicity results via the method of sub-supersolutions.

Abstract

We study the wave inequality with a Hardy potential ∂ ttu− Δ u+λ |x|2u≥ |u|pin (0,∞ )× Ω , $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \partial_{tt}u-{\it\Delta} u+\frac{\lambda}{|x|^2}u\geq |u|^p\quad \mbox{in } (0,\infty)\times {\it\Omega}, \end{array}$$ where Ω is the exterior of the unit ball in ℝ N , N ≥ 2, p > 1, and λ ≥ − N− 222 $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \left(\frac{N-2}{2}\right)^2 \end{array}$, under the inhomogeneous boundary condition α ∂ u∂ ν (t,x)+β u(t,x)≥ w(x)on (0,∞ )× ∂ Ω , $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \alpha \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}(t,x)+\beta u(t,x)\geq w(x)\quad\mbox{on } (0,\infty)\times \partial{\it\Omega}, \end{array}$$ where α , β ≥ 0 and ( α , β ) ≠ (0, 0). Namely, we show that there exists a critical exponent p c ( N , λ ) ∈ (1, ∞] for which, if 1 < p < p c ( N , λ ), the above problem admits no global weak solution for any w ∈ L 1 ( ∂ Ω ) with ∫ ∂Ω w ( x ) dσ > 0, while if p > p c ( N , λ ), the problem admits global solutions for some w > 0. To the best of our knowledge, the study of the critical behavior for wave inequalities with a Hardy potential in an exterior domain was not considered in previous works. Some open questions are also mentioned in this paper.
