Homogeneous Elliptic Equation

We consider the equation−Δu = |u|4/(N−2)u + εf(x) under zero Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded domain Ω in RN exhibiting certain symmetries, with f ≥ 0, f ≠ 0. In particular, we find that the number of sign-changing solutions goes to infinity for radially symmetric f, as ε → 0 if Ω is a ball. The same is true for the number of negative solutions if Ω is an annulus and the support of f is compact in Ω.

Abstract In the present paper, a class of fourth-order nonlinear difference equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions or periodic boundary conditions are considered. Based on the invariant sets of descending flow in combination with the mountain pass lemma, we establish a series of sufficient conditions on the existence of multiple solutions for these boundary value problems. In addition, some examples are provided to demonstrate the applicability of our results.

We consider the following Cauchy problem for the elliptic equation with inhomogeneous source in a rectangular domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions at x=0 and x=π. The problem is ill-posed. The main aim of this paper is to introduce a regularization method and use it to solve the problem. Some sharp error estimates between the exact solution and its regularization approximation are given and a numerical example shows that the method works effectively.

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.

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.

We study the elliptic system −Δu = δ(x)−avp in Ω, −Δv = δ(x)−buq in Ω, subject to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here, Ω ⊂ ℝN, N ≥ 1, is a smooth and bounded domain, δ(x) = dist(x, ∂Ω), a, b ≥ 0 and p, q ∈ ℝ satisfy pq > −1. The existence, non-existence and uniqueness of solutions are investigated in terms of a, b, p and q.

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.
