We consider the homogenization of a non-linear elliptic system of two equations related to some models in chemotaxis and flows in porous media. One of the equations contains a convection term where the transport vector is only in L 2 and a right-hand side which is only in L 1 . This makes it necessary to deal with entropy or renormalized solutions. The existence of solutions for this system has been proved in reference (Comm. Partial Differential Equations 45(7) (2020) 690–713). Here, we prove its stability by homogenization and that the correctors corresponding to the linear diffusion terms still provide a corrector for the solutions of the non-linear system.

We consider the question of the existence/non-existence of solutions for the non-local nonlinear elliptic system which models a thermistor driven by a current source. Specifically, we show that for small input current there exists a solution, while this will not in general be the case for a sufficiently large current. A feature of our estimates is that the conditions for non-existence are determined by local criteria on the domain and the coefficients. Our basic tools for existence involve truncation, L2.μ estimates and fixed point arguments. Non-existence is obtained by averaging procedures and an application of Barta's Inequality.

SynopsisWe study the existence of solutions of the Dirichlet problem for weakly nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations. We only consider cases where the nonlinearities do not depend on any partial derivatives. For these cases, we prove the existence of solutions for a wide variety of nonlinearities.
