For a wide class of nonlinearities f(u) satisfying but not necessarily Lipschitz continuous, we study the quasi-linear equation where T = {x = (x1, x2, …, xN) ∈ RN: x1 > 0} with N ≥ 2. By using a new approach based on the weak maximum principle, we show that any positive solution on T must be a function of x1 only. Under our assumptions, the strong maximum principle does not hold in general and the solution may develop a flat core; our symmetry result allows an easy and precise determination of the flat core.

A class of finite volume numerical schemes for the solution of self-adjoint elliptic equations is described. The main feature of the schemes is that numerical solutions share both discrete conservation and discrete strong maximum principle without restriction on the differential operator or on the volume elements.

In a recent paper [2], D. Colton has given a new proof for the strong maximum principle with regard to the heat equation ut = Δu. His proof depends on the analyticity (in x) of solutions. For this reason it does not carry over to the equationor to more general equations. But in order to tread mildly nonlinear equations such asut = Δu + f(u) which are important in many applications, it is essential to have the strong maximum principle at least for equation (*). It should also be said that this proof uses nontrivial facts about the heat equation.

AbstractIn this paper, dedicated to Laurent Veron, we prove that the Strong Maximum Principle holds for solutions of some quasilinear elliptic equations having lower order terms with quadratic growth with respect to the gradient of the solution.

Abstract In this paper the authors will discuss an application of Single Shot Logic (SSL) patterns used for further localizing IDDQ failures using ATPG constraints and targeted faults. This new method provides the analyst a possibility of performing circuit analysis using IDDQ measurement results as a pass/fail criterion rather than logic mismatches. Once a defective area was partially isolated through fault localization, SSL patterns were created to control individual internal node logic states in a deterministic way. IDDQ was measured at each SSL iteration where schematic analysis can further isolate the failure to a specific location. Two case studies will be discussed to show how this technique was used on actual failing units, with detailed explanation of the steps performed that led to a more precise determination of the fault location in the suspect cell.

Making use of the Karamata regular variation theory and the López-Gómez localization method, we establish the uniqueness and asymptotic behaviour near the boundary ∂Ω for the large solutions of the singular boundary-value problemwhere Ω is a smooth bounded domain in ℝN. The weight function b(x) is a non-negative continuous function in the domain, which can vanish on the boundary ∂Ω at different rates according to the point x0 ∊ ∂Ω. f(u) is locally Lipschitz continuous such that f(u)/u is increasing on (0, ∞) and f(u)/up = H(u) for sufficiently large u and p > 1, here H(u) is slowly varying at infinity. Our main result provides a sharp extension of a recent result of Xie with f satisfying limu→f(u)/up = H for some positive constants H > 0 and p > 1.
