In this paper, we study the existence of weak solutions of the quasilinear equation

\begin{cases} -{\rm div} (a(\vert \nabla u \vert ^2)\nabla u)=\lambda f(x,u) &{\rm in} \ \Omega,\\ u=0 &{\rm on} \ \partial\Omega, \end{cases}

This paper is concerned with the fractional system

\begin{cases} (-\Delta)^{\frac{\alpha}{2}} u(x) = \vert x \vert ^a v^p(x), &x\in\mathbb{R}^n_+,\\ (-\Delta)^{\frac{\beta}{2}} v(x) = \vert x \vert ^b u^q(x), &x\in\mathbb{R}^n_+,\\ u(x)=v(x)=0, &x\in\mathbb{R}^n{\setminus}\mathbb{R}^n_+, \end{cases}

$p \leqslant \frac {n+\alpha +2a}{n-\beta }$

$q \leqslant \frac {n+\beta +2b}{n-\alpha }$

$p+q<\frac {n+\alpha +2a}{n-\beta }+\frac {n+\beta +2b}{n-\alpha }$

This paper is concerned with the problem of existence and uniqueness of weak and classical solutions for a fourth-order semilinear boundary value problem. The existence and uniqueness for weak solutions follows from standard variational methods, while similar uniqueness results for classical solutions are derived using maximum principles.

We prove the global logarithmic stability of the Cauchy problem for $H^{2}$-solutions of an anisotropic elliptic equation in a Lipschitz domain. The result is based on existing techniques used to establish stability estimates for the Cauchy problem combined with related tools used to study an inverse medium problem.

We prove a conditional theorem on the positivity of the Lyapunov exponent for a Schrödinger cocycle over a skew-shift base with a cosine potential and the golden ratio as frequency. For coupling below 1, which is the threshold for Herman’s subharmonicity trick, we formulate three conditions on the Lyapunov exponent in a finite but large volume and on the associated large-deviation estimates at that scale. Our main results demonstrate that these finite-size conditions imply the positivity of the infinite-volume Lyapunov exponent. This paper shows that it is possible to make the techniques developed for the study of Schrödinger operators with deterministic potentials, based on large-deviation estimates and the avalanche principle, effective.

In this paper we show the existence of solution for the following class of semipositone problemP

$$\left\{\matrix{-\Delta u & = & h(x)(f(u)-a) & \hbox{in} & {\open R}^N, \cr u & \gt & 0 & \hbox{in} & {\open R}^N, \cr}\right.$$

We consider a nonlinear Robin problem for the Poisson equation in an unbounded periodically perforated domain. The domain has a periodic structure, and the size of each cell is determined by a positive parameter δ. The relative size of each periodic perforation is determined by a positive parameter ε. Under suitable assumptions, such a problem admits a family of solutions which depends on ε and δ. We analyse the behaviour the energy integral of such a family as (ε, δ) tends to (0, 0) by an approach that represents an alternative to asymptotic expansions and classical homogenization theory.

In this paper we characterize the boundedness on the product of Sobolev spaces Hs(𝕋) × Hs(𝕋) on the unit circle 𝕋, of the bilinear form Λb with symbol b ∈ Hs(𝕋) given by

$${{\Lambda}_b} (\varphi, \psi): = \int_{\open T} {\left( {{{( - {\Delta })}^s} + I} \right)(\varphi \psi )(\eta )b(\eta ) {\rm d}\sigma (\eta ).}$$

We consider semistable, radially symmetric and increasing solutions of Sk(D2u) = g(u) in the unit ball of ℝn, where Sk(D2u) is the k-Hessian operator of u and g ∈ C1 is a general positive nonlinearity. We establish sharp pointwise estimates for such solutions in a proper weighted Sobolev space, which are optimal and do not depend on the specific nonlinearity g. As an application of these results, we obtain pointwise estimates for the extremal solution and its derivatives (up to order three) of the equation Sk(D2u) = λg(u), posed in B1, with Dirichlet data $u\arrowvert _{B_1}=0$, where g is a continuous, positive, nonincreasing function such that lim t→−∞g(t)/|t|k = +∞.

We are interested in standing waves of a modified Schrödinger equation coupled with the Chern–Simons gauge theory. By applying a constraint minimization of Nehari-Pohozaev type, we prove the existence of radial ground state solutions. We also investigate the nonexistence for nontrivial solutions.

Let Ω ⊂ ℝN be a bounded domain and δ(x) be the distance of a point x ∈ Ω to the boundary. We study the positive solutions of the problem Δu + (μ/(δ(x)2))u = up in Ω, where p > 0, p ≠ 1 and μ ∈ ℝ, μ ≠ 0 is smaller than the Hardy constant. The interplay between the singular potential and the nonlinearity leads to interesting structures of the solution sets. In this paper, we first give the complete picture of the radial solutions in balls. In particular, we establish for p > 1 the existence of a unique large solution behaving like δ−(2/(p−1)) at the boundary. In general domains, we extend the results of Bandle and Pozio and show that there exists a unique singular solutions u such that $u/\delta ^{\beta _-}\to c$ on the boundary for an arbitrary positive function $c \in C^{2+\gamma }(\partial \Omega ) \, (\gamma \in (0,1)), c \ges 0$. Here β− is the smaller root of β(β − 1) + μ = 0.

The aim of this paper is to study Hamiltonian elliptic system of the form0.1

The implication $(i)\Rightarrow (ii)$ of Theorem 2.1 in our article [1] is not true as it stands. We give here two correct statements which follow from the original proof.

We consider the equation Δu = Vu in the half-space ${\open R}_ + ^d $, d ⩾ 2 where V has certain periodicity properties. In particular, we show that such equations cannot have non-trivial superexponentially decaying solutions. As an application this leads to a new proof for the absolute continuity of the spectrum of particular periodic Schrödinger operators. The equation Δu = Vu is studied as part of a broader class of elliptic evolution equations.

In this paper, we obtain gradient estimates of the positive solutions to weighted p-Laplacian type equations with a gradient-dependent nonlinearity of the form0.1

Using a dual variational approach, we obtain nontrivial real-valued solutions of the critical nonlinear Helmholtz equation

We prove new results on the existence, non-existence, localization and multiplicity of non-trivial radial solutions of a system of elliptic boundary value problems on exterior domains subject to non-local, nonlinear, functional boundary conditions. Our approach relies on fixed point index theory. As a by-product of our theory we provide an answer to an open question posed by do Ó, Lorca, Sánchez and Ubilla. We include some examples with explicit nonlinearities in order to illustrate our theory.
