We use the method of upper and lower solutions combined with degree-theoretic techniques to prove the existence of multiple positive solutions to some superlinear elliptic systems of the formon a smooth, bounded domain Ω⊂ℝn with Dirichlet boundary conditions, under suitable conditions on g1 and g2. Our techniques apply generally to subcritical, superlinear problems with a certain concave–convex shape to their nonlinearity.

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.

SynopsisWe consider the resolvent problem for the Stokes system in exterior domains, under Dirichlet boundary conditions:where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝ3. It will be shown that in general there is no constant C > 0 such that for with , div u = 0, and for with . However, if a solution (u, π) of problem (*) exists, it is uniquely determined, provided that u(x) and ∇π(x) decay for large values of |x|. These assertions imply a non-existence result in Hölder spaces.

We are interested in two parameter eigenvalue problems of the formsubject to Dirichlet boundary conditionsThe weight function 5 and the potential q will both be assumed to lie in L2[0,1]. The problem (1.1), (1.2) generates eigencurvesin the sense that for any fixed λ, ν(λ) is the nth eigenvalue ν, (according to oscillation indexing) of (1.1), (1.2). These curves are in fact analytic functions of λ and have been the object of considerable study in recent years. The survey paper [1] provides background in this area and itemises properties of eigencurves.

This paper deals withp-Laplacian systemsut−div(|∇u|p−2∇u)=∫Ωvα(x,t)dx,x∈Ω,t>0,vt−div(|∇v|q−2∇v)=∫Ωuβ(x,t)dx,x∈Ω, t>0,with null Dirichlet boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domainΩ⊂ℝN, wherep,q≥2,α,β≥1. We first get the nonexistence result for related elliptic systems of nonincreasing positive solutions. Secondly by using this nonexistence result, blow up estimates for abovep-Laplacian systems with the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary value conditions are obtained underΩ=BR={x∈ℝN:|x|<R} (R>0). Then under appropriate hypotheses, we establish local theory of the solutions and obtain that the solutions either exist globally or blow up in finite time.

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.
