The existence of weak solutions to the quasistatic problems in the theory of perfectly elasto-plastic plates is studied in the framework of the variational theory for rate-independent processes. Approximate solutions are constructed by means of incremental variational problems in spaces of functions with bounded hessian. The constructed weak solution is shown to be absolutely continuous in time. A strong formulation of the flow rule is obtained.

In this paper, we consider a compressible dissipative Baer–Nunziato-type system for a mixture of two compressible heat conducting gases. We prove that the set of weak solutions is stable, meaning that any sequence of weak solutions contains a (weakly) convergent subsequence whose limit is again a weak solution to the original system. Such type of results is usually considered as the most essential step to the proof of the existence of weak solutions. This is the first result of this type in the mathematical literature. Nevertheless, the construction of weak solutions to this system however remains still an (difficult) open problem.

Abstract In line with the Trudinger–Moser inequality in the fractional Sobolev–Slobodeckij space due to [S. Iula, A note on the Moser–Trudinger inequality in Sobolev–Slobodeckij spaces in dimension one, Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei Rend. Lincei Mat. Appl. 28 2017, 4, 871–884] and [E. Parini and B. Ruf, On the Moser–Trudinger inequality in fractional Sobolev–Slobodeckij spaces, Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei Rend. Lincei Mat. Appl. 29 2018, 2, 315–319], we establish a new version of the Trudinger–Moser inequality in {W^{s,p}(\mathbb{R}^{N})} . Define \lVert u\rVert_{1,\tau}=\bigl{(}[u]^{p}_{W^{s,p}(\mathbb{R}^{N})}+\tau\lVert u% \rVert_{p}^{p}\bigr{)}^{\frac{1}{p}}\quad\text{for any }\tau>0. There holds \sup_{u\in W^{s,p}(\mathbb{R}^{N}),\lVert u\rVert_{1,\tau}\leq 1}\int_{\mathbb% {R}^{N}}\Phi_{N,s}\bigl{(}\alpha\lvert u\rvert^{\frac{N}{N-s}}\bigr{)}<+\infty, where {s\in(0,1)} , {sp=N} , {\alpha\in[0,\alpha_{*})} and \Phi_{N,s}(t)=e^{t}-\sum_{i=0}^{j_{p}-2}\frac{t^{j}}{j!}. Applying this result, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of weak solutions to the following quasilinear nonhomogeneous fractional-Laplacian equation: (-\Delta)_{p}^{s}u(x)+V(x)\lvert u(x)\rvert^{p-2}u(x)=f(x,u)+\varepsilon h(x)% \quad\text{in }\mathbb{R}^{N}, where {V(x)} has a positive lower bound, {f(x,t)} behaves like {e^{\alpha\lvert t\rvert^{N/(N-s)}}} , {h\in(W^{s,p}(\mathbb{R}^{N}))^{*}} and {\varepsilon>0} . Moreover, we also derive a weak solution with negative energy.

In this work, we investigate the question of existence of weak solutions to the density dependent stochastic Navier–Stokes equations. The noise considered contains functions which depend nonlinearly on the velocity and which do not satisfy the Lipschitz condition. Furthermore, the initial density is allowed to vanish. We introduce a suitable notion of probabilistic weak solution for the problem and prove its existence.

In this article, the author studies the qualitative properties of weak solutions for a sixth‐order thin film equation, which arises in the industrial application of the isolation oxidation of silicon. Based on the Schauder type estimates, we establish the global existence of classical solutions for regularized problems. After establishing some necessary uniform estimates on the approximate solutions, we prove the existence of weak solutions. The nonnegativity and the expansion of the support of solutions are also discussed.

The purpose of this paper is to build sequences of suitably smooth approximate solutions to the 1D pollutant transport model that preserve the mathematical structure discovered in (Roamba, Zabsonr&eacute;, Zongo, 2017). The stability arguments in this paper then apply to such sequences of approximate solutions, which leads to the global existence of weak solutions for this model. We show that when the Reynold number goes to infinity, we have always an existence of global weak solutions result for the corresponding model.

The Stefan problem is coupled with a spatially inhomogeneous and anisotropic Gibbs–Thomson condition at the phase boundary. We show the long-time existence of weak solutions for the non-degenerate Stefan problem with a spatially inhomogeneous and anisotropic Gibbs–Thomson law and a conditional existence result for the corresponding degenerate Stefan problem. To this end, approximate solutions are constructed by means of variational problems for energy functionals with spatially inhomogeneous and anisotropic interfacial energy. By passing to the limit, we establish solutions of the Stefan problem with a spatially inhomogeneous and anisotropic Gibbs–Thomson law in a weak generalisedBV-formulation.

Abstract The paper deals with a quasilinear Dirichlet problem involving a competing (p,q)-Laplacian and a convection term. Due to the lack of ellipticity, monotonicity and variational structure, the known methods to find a weak solution are not applicable. We develop an approximation procedure permitting to establish the existence of solutions in a generalized sense. If in place of competing (p,q)-Laplacian we consider the usual (p,q)-Laplacian, our results ensure the existence of weak solutions.
