Dirichlet Boundary Data

The asymptotic behaviour of solutions of second-order quasilinear elliptic partial differential equations defined on unbounded domains in Rn contained in strips (when n = 2) or slabs (when n > 2) is investigated when such solutions satisfy Dirichlet boundary conditions and the Dirichlet boundary data have appropriate asymptotic behaviour at infinity. We prove Phragmèn–Lindelöf theorems for large classes of elliptic operators, including uniformly elliptic operators and operators with well-defined genre, establish exponential decay estimates for uniformly elliptic operators when the Dirichlet boundary data vanish outside a compact set, establish the uniqueness of solutions, and give examples of solutions for non-uniformly elliptic operators which decay but do not decay exponentially. Our principal theorems are proven using special barrier functions; these barriers are constructed by considering an operator associated to our original operator.

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.

AbstractFractional-order elliptic problems are investigated in case of inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary data. The boundary integral form is proposed as a suitable mathematical model. The corresponding theory is completed by sharpening the mapping properties of the corresponding potential operators. The existence-uniqueness result is stated also for two-dimensional domains. Finally, a mild condition is provided to ensure the existence of the classical solution of the boundary integral equation.

Quasilinear Elliptic

The higher order quasilinear elliptic equation−Δ(Δp(Δu))=f(x,u)subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions may have unique and regular positive solution. If the domain is a ball, we obtain a priori estimate to the radial solutions via blowup. Extensions to systems and general domains are also presented. The basic ingredients are the maximum principle, Moser iterative scheme, an eigenvalue problem, a priori estimates by rescalings, sub/supersolutions, and Krasnosel'skiĭ fixed point theorem.

Quasilinear Elliptic

The aim of the paper is to study the asymptotic behaviour of the solution of a quasilinear elliptic equation of the form with a high-contrast discontinuous coefficient aε(x), where ε is the parameter characterizing the scale of the microstucture. The coefficient aε(x) is assumed to degenerate everywhere in the domain Ω except in a thin connected microstructure of asymptotically small measure. It is shown that the asymptotical behaviour of the solution uε as ε → 0 is described by a homogenized quasilinear equation with the coefficients calculated by local energetic characteristics of the domain Ω.

AbstractThe authors establish the existence of at least three solutions to a quasilinear elliptic problem subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded domain in ${\mathbb{R}^{N}}$. A critical point result for differentiable functionals is used to prove the results.
