SynopsisIn this paper we study some properties of a semilinear elliptic eigenvalue problem with nondefinite right-hand side. In the first part we show that every solution will have its maximum in some specified interval J. If the domain is inside a cone in ℝN with N > 1, then J is strictly smaller than in the one-dimensional case. In the second part we show, for bounded domains, that if the maximum is inside some subinterval of J, then for any eigenvalue there will be at most one solution.

This chapter develops a Euclidean, two-dimensional, regions-based theory. As with the semi-Aristotelian account in Chapter 2, the goal here is to recover the now orthodox Dedekind–Cantor continuum on a point-free basis. The chapter derives the Archimedean property for a class of readily postulated orientations of certain special regions, what are called “generalized quadrilaterals” (intended as parallelograms), by which the entire space is covered. Then the chapter generalizes this to arbitrary orientations, and then establishes an isomorphism between the space and the usual point-based one. As in the one-dimensional case, this is done on the basis of axioms which contain no explicit “extremal clause”, and we have no axiom of induction other than ordinary numerical (mathematical) induction.

The paper presents a multidimensional generalization of the Schoenberg operators of higher order. The new operators are powerful tools that can be used for approximation processes in many fields of applied sciences. The construction of these operators uses a symmetry regarding the domain of definition. The degree of approximation by sequences of such operators is given in terms of the first and the second order moduli of continuity. Extending certain results obtained by Marsden in the one-dimensional case, the property of preservation of monotonicity and convexity is proved.

AbstractIn this paper, we study asymptotic behavior of solutions to obstacle problems for p-Laplacians as {p\to\infty}. For the one-dimensional case and for the radial case, we give an explicit expression of the limit. In the n-dimensional case, we provide sufficient conditions to assure the uniform convergence of the whole family of the solutions of obstacle problems either for data f that change sign in Ω or for data f (that do not change sign in Ω) possibly vanishing in a set of positive measure.

This paper is devoted to the study of existence, nonexistence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the semilinear elliptic problem [Formula: see text] where Ω is a bounded domain of ℝN, λ ∈ ℝ and g(x, u) is a Carathéodory function. The obtained results apply to the following classes of nonlinearities: a(x)uq + b(x)up and c(x)(1 + u)p (0 ≤ q < 1 < p). The proofs rely on the sub-super solution method and the mountain pass theorem.

In a multitype critical age dependent branching process with immigration, the numbers of cell types born by t, divided by t2, tends in law to a one-dimensional (degenerate) law whose Laplace transform is explicitily given. The method of proof makes a correspondence between the moments in the m-dimensional case and the one-dimensional case, for which the corresponding limit theorem is known. Other applications are given, a possible relaxation of moment assumptions, and extensions are indicated.
