Striking Contrast

AbstractIt is well known that for higher order elliptic equations, the positivity preserving property (PPP) may fail. In striking contrast to what happens under Dirichlet boundary conditions, we prove that the PPP holds for the biharmonic operator on rectangular domains under partially hinged boundary conditions, i.e., nonnegative loads yield positive solutions. The result follows by fine estimates of the Fourier expansion of the corresponding Green function.

AbstractWe study the biharmonic equation Δ2u=u−α, 0 < α < 1, in a smooth and bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝn,n≥ 2, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. Under some suitable assumptions on Ω related to the positivity of the Green function for the biharmonic operator, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution.

By using the mountain pass lemma, we study the existence of positive solutions for the equation−Δu(x)=λ(u|u|+u)(x)forx∈Ωtogether with Dirichlet boundary conditions and show that for everyλ<λ1, whereλ1is the first eigenvalue of−Δu=λuinΩwith the Dirichlet boundary conditions, the equation has a positive solution while no positive solution exists forλ≥λ1.

AbstractWe look for solutions of a nonlinear perturbed Schrödinger equation with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. By using a perturbation method introduced by Bolle, we prove the existence of multiple solutions in spite of the lack of the symmetry of the problem.

Let [Formula: see text] be the Green function of (-Δ)m, m ≥ 1, on the complementary D of the unit closed ball in ℝn, n ≥ 2, with Dirichlet boundary conditions [Formula: see text], 0 ≤ j ≤ m - 1. We establish some estimates on [Formula: see text] including the 3G-Inequality given by (1.3). Next, we introduce a polyharmonic Kato class of functions [Formula: see text] and we exploit the properties of this class to study the existence of positive solutions of some polyharmonic nonlinear elliptic problems.

Least Energy

AbstractIn this note, we prove the Payne-type conjecture about the behaviour of the nodal set of least energy sign-changing solutions for the equation $-\Delta _p u = f(u)$ in bounded Steiner symmetric domains $ \Omega \subset {{\open R}^N} $ under the zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. The nonlinearity f is assumed to be either superlinear or resonant. In the latter case, least energy sign-changing solutions are second eigenfunctions of the zero Dirichlet p-Laplacian in Ω. We show that the nodal set of any least energy sign-changing solution intersects the boundary of Ω. The proof is based on a moving polarization argument.
