On the solutions to 1-Laplacian equation with L1 data

AbstractIn the present paper we study the behaviour, as p goes to 1, of the renormalized solutions to the problems(0.1){−div(|∇up|p−2∇up)=finΩ,up=0on∂Ω, where p>1, Ω is a bounded open set of RN (N⩾2) with Lipschitz boundary and f belongs to L1(Ω). We prove that these renormalized solutions pointwise converge, up to “subsequences,” to a function u. With a suitable definition of solution we also prove that u is a solution to a “limit problem.” Moreover we analyze the situation occurring when more regular data f are considered.

A singular elliptic equation and a related functional

We study a class of Dirichlet boundary value problems whose prototype is [see formula in PDF] where 0 < p < 1 and f belongs to a suitable Lebesgue space. The main features of this problem are the presence of a singular term |u|p−2u and a datum f which possibly changes its sign. We introduce a notion of solution in this singular setting and we prove an existence result for such a solution. The motivation of our notion of solution to problem above is due to a minimization problem for a non–differentiable functional on [see formula in PDF] whose formal Euler–Lagrange equation is an equation of that type. For nonnegative solutions a uniqueness result is obtained.

Anisotropic -Laplacian equations when goes to

Abstract In this paper we prove a stability result for an anisotropic elliptic problem. More precisely, we consider the Dirichlet problem for an anisotropic equation, which is as the p -Laplacian equation with respect to a group of variables and as the q -Laplacian equation with respect to the other variables ( 1 p q ), with datum f belonging to a suitable Lebesgue space. For this problem, we study the behaviour of the solutions as p goes to 1 , showing that they converge to a function u , which is almost everywhere finite, regardless of the size of the datum f . Moreover, we prove that this u is the unique solution of a limit problem having the 1-Laplacian operator with respect to the firs…
