Nonlinear Nonhomogeneous Robin Problems with Almost Critical and Partially Concave Reaction
2020
We consider a nonlinear Robin problem driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator, with reaction which exhibits the competition of two Caratheodory terms. One is parametric, $$(p-1)$$-sublinear with a partially concave nonlinearity near zero. The other is $$(p-1)$$-superlinear and has almost critical growth. Exploiting the special geometry of the problem, we prove a bifurcation-type result, describing the changes in the set of positive solutions as the parameter $$\lambda >0$$ varies.
Nonlinear diffusion in transparent media: the resolvent equation
2017
Abstract We consider the partial differential equation u - f = div ( u m ∇ u | ∇ u | ) u-f=\operatornamewithlimits{div}\biggl{(}u^{m}\frac{\nabla u}{|\nabla u|}% \biggr{)} with f nonnegative and bounded and m ∈ ℝ {m\in\mathbb{R}} . We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions for both the Dirichlet problem (with bounded and nonnegative boundary datum) and the homogeneous Neumann problem. Solutions, which a priori belong to a space of truncated bounded variation functions, are shown to have zero jump part with respect to the ℋ N - 1 {{\mathcal{H}}^{N-1}} -Hausdorff measure. Results and proofs extend to more general nonlinearities.
$n$-harmonic coordinates and the regularity of conformal mappings
2014
This article studies the smoothness of conformal mappings between two Riemannian manifolds whose metric tensors have limited regularity. We show that any bi-Lipschitz conformal mapping or $1$-quasiregular mapping between two manifolds with $C^r$ metric tensors ($r > 1$) is a $C^{r+1}$ conformal (local) diffeomorphism. This result was proved in [12, 27, 33], but we give a new proof of this fact. The proof is based on $n$-harmonic coordinates, a generalization of the standard harmonic coordinates that is particularly suited to studying conformal mappings. We establish the existence of a $p$-harmonic coordinate system for $1 < p < \infty$ on any Riemannian manifold.
Improved Hölder regularity for strongly elliptic PDEs
2019
We establish surprising improved Schauder regularity properties for solutions to the Leray-Lions divergence type equation in the plane. The results are achieved by studying the nonlinear Beltrami equation and making use of special new relations between these two equations. In particular, we show that solutions to an autonomous Beltrami equation enjoy a quantitative improved degree of H\"older regularity, higher than what is given by the classical exponent $1/K$.
Anisotropic elliptic equations with gradient-dependent lower order terms and L^1 data
2023
<abstract><p>We prove the existence of a weak solution for a general class of Dirichlet anisotropic elliptic problems such as $ \mathcal Au+\Phi(x, u, \nabla u) = \mathfrak{B}u+f $ in $ \Omega $, where $ \Omega $ is a bounded open subset of $ \mathbb R^N $ and $ f\in L^1(\Omega) $ is arbitrary. The principal part is a divergence-form nonlinear anisotropic operator $ \mathcal A $, the prototype of which is $ \mathcal A u = -\sum_{j = 1}^N \partial_j(|\partial_j u|^{p_j-2}\partial_j u) $ with $ p_j &gt; 1 $ for all $ 1\leq j\leq N $ and $ \sum_{j = 1}^N (1/p_j) &gt; 1 $. As a novelty in this paper, our lower order terms involve a new class of operators $ \mathfrak B $ such…
Infinitely many solutions for p-Laplacian equation involving double critical terms and boundary geometry
2014
Let $1p^{2}+p,a(0)>0$ and $\Omega$ satisfies some geometry conditions if $0\in\partial\Omega$, say, all the principle curvatures of $\partial\Omega$ at $0$ are negative, then the above problem has infinitely many solutions.
Local Gauge Conditions for Ellipticity in Conformal Geometry
2013
In this article we introduce local gauge conditions under which many curvature tensors appearing in conformal geometry, such as the Weyl, Cotton, Bach, and Fefferman-Graham obstruction tensors, become elliptic operators. The gauge conditions amount to fixing an $n$-harmonic coordinate system and normalizing the determinant of the metric. We also give corresponding elliptic regularity results and characterizations of local conformal flatness in low regularity settings.
p-harmonic coordinates for H\"older metrics and applications
2015
We show that on any Riemannian manifold with H\"older continuous metric tensor, there exists a $p$-harmonic coordinate system near any point. When $p = n$ this leads to a useful gauge condition for regularity results in conformal geometry. As applications, we show that any conformal mapping between manifolds having $C^\alpha$ metric tensors is $C^{1+\alpha}$ regular, and that a manifold with $W^{1,n} \cap C^\alpha$ metric tensor and with vanishing Weyl tensor is locally conformally flat if $n \geq 4$. The results extend the works [LS14, LS15] from the case of $C^{1+\alpha}$ metrics to the H\"older continuous case. In an appendix, we also develop some regularity results for overdetermined el…
Existence and orbital stability of standing waves to nonlinear Schr��dinger system with partial confinement
2018
We are concerned with the existence of solutions to the following nonlinear Schr\"odinger system in $\mathbb{R}^3$: \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{aligned} -\Delta u_1 + (x_1^2+x_2^2)u_1&= \lambda_1 u_1 + \mu_1 |u_1|^{p_1 -2}u_1 + \beta r_1|u_1|^{r_1-2}u_1|u_2|^{r_2}, \\ -\Delta u_2 + (x_1^2+x_2^2)u_2&= \lambda_2 u_2 + \mu_2 |u_2|^{p_2 -2}u_2 +\beta r_2 |u_1|^{r_1}|u_2|^{r_2 -2}u_2, \end{aligned} \right. \end{equation*} under the constraint \begin{align*} \int_{\mathbb{R}^3}|u_1|^2 \, dx = a_1>0,\quad \int_{\mathbb{R}^3}|u_2|^2 \, dx = a_2>0, \end{align*} where $\mu_1, \mu_2, \beta >0, 2 1, r_1 + r_2 < \frac{10}{3}$. In the system, the parameters $\lambda_1, \lambda_2 \in \R$ are unknown …
