In this paper, we deal with the composite plate problem, namely the following optimization eigenvalue problem: [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a class of admissible densities, [Formula: see text] for Dirichlet boundary conditions and [Formula: see text] for Navier boundary conditions. The associated Euler–Lagrange equation is a fourth-order elliptic PDE governed by the biharmonic operator [Formula: see text]. In the spirit of [S. Chanillo, D. Grieser, M. Imai, K. Kurata and I. Ohnishi, Symmetry breaking and other phenomena in the optimization of eigenvalues for composite membranes, Comm. Math. Phys. 214 (2000) 315–337], we study qualitative properties of the optimal pairs [Formula: see text]. In particular, we prove existence and regularity and we find the explicit expression of [Formula: see text]. When [Formula: see text] is a ball, we can also prove uniqueness of the optimal pair, as well as positivity of [Formula: see text] and radial symmetry of both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

In this work we study the existence and qualitative properties of non-negative solutions of the Lotka—Volterra models with nonlinear diffusion under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We consider the three typical interactions: prey—predator, competition and symbiosis. Unlike the linear diffusion models, non-trivial non-negative solutions can exist which are not strictly positive. Sufficient conditions in terms of the coefficients involved in the setting of the models are given, assuring that one species (or both) does not survive on a set of its habitat (called ‘dead core’) of positive measure.

AbstractIn this paper, existence for Willmore surfaces of revolution is shown, which satisfy non-symmetric Dirichlet boundary conditions, if the infimum of the Willmore energy in the admissible class is strictly below {4\pi}. Under a more restrictive but still explicit geometric smallness condition we obtain a quite interesting additional geometric information: The profile curve of this solution can be parameterised as a graph over the x-axis. By working below the energy threshold of {4\pi} and reformulating the problem in the Poincaré half plane, compactness of a minimising sequence is guaranteed, of which the limit is indeed smooth. The last step consists of two main ingredients: We analyse the Euler–Lagrange equation by an order reduction argument by Langer and Singer and modify, when necessary, our solution with the help of suitable parts of catenoids and circles.

Abstract We find the most general solution to Chern-Simons AdS3 gravity in Fefferman-Graham gauge. The connections are equivalent to geometries that have a non-trivial curved boundary, characterized by a 2-dimensional vielbein and a spin connection. We define a variational principle for Dirichlet boundary conditions and find the boundary stress tensor in the Chern-Simons formalism. Using this variational principle as the departure point, we show how to treat other choices of boundary conditions in this formalism, such as, including the mixed boundary conditions corresponding to a $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ -deformation.

Abstract The gravitational charge algebra of generic asymptotically locally (A)dS spacetimes is derived in n dimensions. The analysis is performed in the Starobinsky/Fefferman-Graham gauge, without assuming any further boundary condition than the minimal falloffs for conformal compactification. In particular, the boundary structure is allowed to fluctuate and plays the role of source yielding some symplectic flux at the boundary. Using the holographic renormalization procedure, the divergences are removed from the symplectic structure, which leads to finite expressions. The charges associated with boundary diffeomorphisms are generically non-vanishing, non-integrable and not conserved, while those associated with boundary Weyl rescalings are non-vanishing only in odd dimensions due to the presence of Weyl anomalies in the dual theory. The charge algebra exhibits a field-dependent 2-cocycle in odd dimensions. When the general framework is restricted to three-dimensional asymptotically AdS spacetimes with Dirichlet boundary conditions, the 2-cocycle reduces to the Brown-Henneaux central extension. The analysis is also specified to leaky boundary conditions in asymptotically locally (A)dS spacetimes that lead to the Λ-BMS asymptotic symmetry group. In the flat limit, the latter contracts into the BMS group in n dimensions.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to extend results from [A. Cañada, J. A. Montero and S. Villegas, Lyapunov inequalities for partial differential equations, J. Funct. Anal. 237 (2006), 1, 176–193] about Lyapunov-type inequalities for linear partial differential equations to nonlinear partial differential equations with 𝑝-Laplacian with zero Neumann or Dirichlet boundary conditions.

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.

Abstract Large time behavior of solutions to the nonlinear integro-differential equation associated with the penetration of a magnetic field into a substance is studied. The rate of convergence is given, too. Dirichlet boundary conditions with homogeneous data are considered.
