where σD is a modulus of continuity defined in the interval [0, |D|] and depends only on the domain D. The inequality is optimal for any domain D and for any values of $\|f\|_1$ and $\|f\|_\infty .$ We also show that
\sigma_D(t)\leq\sigma_B(t),\text{ for }t\in[0,|D|],
where B is a ball and |B| = |D|. Using this optimality property of σD, we derive Brezis–Galloute–Wainger type inequalities on the L∞ norm of u in terms of the L1 and L∞ norms of f. As an application we derive L∞ − L1 estimates on the k-th Laplace eigenfunction of the domain D.
where λ > 0 is a real parameter, f belongs to a suitable Lebesgue space, $\mu \in L^{\infty}$ and $\mathbb {D}_s^2$ is a nonlocal ‘gradient square’ term given by
Depending on the real parameter λ > 0, we derive existence and non-existence results. The proof of our existence result relies on sharp Calderón–Zygmund type regularity results for the fractional Poisson equation with low integrability data. We also obtain existence results for related problems involving different nonlocal diffusion terms.
where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}$ is a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, $N\geq 2$. This work generalizes the well-known works on the Lyapunov inequality for extremal Pucci’s equations with gradient nonlinearity.
We consider the minimizing problem for the energy functional with prescribed mass constraint related to the fractional non-linear Schrödinger equation with periodic potentials. Using the concentration-compactness principle, we show a complete classification for the existence and non-existence of minimizers for the problem. In the mass-critical case, under a suitable assumption of the potential, we give a detailed description of blow-up behaviour of minimizers once the mass tends to a critical value.
where $\beta \in {\mathbb R}$ is a coupling constant, $\mu ,\nu $ are positive constants, P,Q are weight functions decaying exponentially to zero at infinity, α can be regarded as a parameter. This type of system arises, in particular, in models in Bose–Einstein condensates theory and Kerr-like photo refractive media.
We prove that, for any positive integer k > 1, there exists a suitable range of α such that the above problem has a non-radial positive solution with exactly k maximum points which tend to infinity as $\alpha \to +\infty $ (or $0^+$). Moreover, we also construct prescribed number of sign-changing solutions.
In this paper we study a general eigenvalue problem for the so called (p, 2)-Laplace operator on a smooth bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝN under a nonlinear Steklov type boundary condition, namely
For positive weight functions a and b satisfying appropriate integrability and boundedness assumptions, we show that, for all p>1, the eigenvalue set consists of an isolated null eigenvalue plus a continuous family of eigenvalues located away from zero.
where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}\subset \mathbb{R}^{N}(N\geqslant 1)$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary $\unicode[STIX]{x2202}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}$, $h\in L^{1}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA})$, $h>0$ almost everywhere in $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}$, $k\in L^{\infty }(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA})$ is a non-negative function, $B:[0,+\infty )\rightarrow [m,+\infty )$ is continuous for some positive constant $m$, $p>1$, $0\leqslant q\leqslant p-1$, and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}>1$. A “compatibility condition” on the couple $(h(x),\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE})$ will be given for the problem to admit at least one solution. To be a little more precise, it is shown that the problem admits at least one solution if and only if there exists a $u_{0}\in W_{0}^{1,p}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA})$ such that $\int _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}}h(x)u_{0}^{1-\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}}\text{d}x<\infty$. When $k(x)\equiv 0$, the weak solution is unique.
We establish gradient estimates for solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the constant mean curvature equation in hyperbolic space. We obtain these estimates on bounded strictly convex domains by using the maximum principles theory of Φ-functions of Payne and Philippin. These estimates are then employed to solve the Dirichlet problem when the mean curvature H satisfies H < 1 under suitable boundary conditions.
In this paper, we study the existence and concentration of normalized solutions to the supercritical nonlinear Schrödinger equation
\[ \left\{\begin{array}{@{}ll} -\Delta u + V(x) u = \mu_q u + a \vert u \vert ^q u & {\rm in}\ \mathbb{R}^2,\\ \int_{\mathbb{R}^2} \vert u \vert ^2\,{\rm d}x =1, & \end{array} \right.\]
where μq is the Lagrange multiplier. For ellipse-shaped potentials V(x), we show that for q > 2 close to 2, the equation admits an excited solution uq, and furthermore, we study the limiting behaviour of uq when q → 2+. Particularly, we describe precisely the blow-up formation of the excited state uq.
We introduce the notion of a distributional $k$-Hessian ($k=2,\ldots ,n$) associated with fractional Sobolev functions on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}$, a smooth bounded open subset in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. We show that the distributional $k$-Hessian is weakly continuous on the fractional Sobolev space $W^{2-2/k,k}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA})$ and that the weak continuity result is optimal, that is, the distributional $k$-Hessian is well defined in $W^{s,p}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA})$ if and only if $W^{s,p}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA})\subseteq W^{2-2/k,k}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA})$.
where a : ℝ → [0, ∞) is C1 and a nonincreasing continuous function near the origin, the nonlinear term f : Ω × ℝ → ℝ is a Carathéodory function verifying certain superlinear conditions only at zero, and λ is a positive parameter. The existence of the solution relies on C1-estimates and variational arguments.
where n ⩾ 2, 0 < α, β < 2, a> −α, b > −β and p, q ⩾ 1. By exploiting a direct method of scaling spheres for fractional systems, we prove that if $p \leqslant \frac {n+\alpha +2a}{n-\beta }$, $q \leqslant \frac {n+\beta +2b}{n-\alpha }$, $p+q<\frac {n+\alpha +2a}{n-\beta }+\frac {n+\beta +2b}{n-\alpha }$ and (u, v) is a nonnegative strong solution of the system, then u ≡ v ≡ 0.
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.
where $1<p\leq q<N$. Here the coefficient $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}(x)$ of the coupling term is related to the potentials by the condition $|\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}(x)|\leq \unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}a(x)^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}/p}b(x)^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}/q}$, where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}\in (0,1)$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}/p+\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}/q=1$. Using a variational approach based on minimization over the Nehari manifold, we establish the existence of positive ground state solutions for a large class of nonlinear terms and potentials.
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.
where N ≥ 3, a > 0, h : ℝN → (0, + ∞) and f : [0, + ∞) → [0, + ∞) are continuous functions with f having a subcritical growth. The main tool used is the variational method together with estimates that involve the Riesz potential.
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
