Existence and Regularity for a Class of Nonlinear Hyperbolic Boundary Value Problems

2002

AbstractThe regularity of the solution of the telegraph system with nonlinear monotone boundary conditions is investigated by two methods. The first one is based on D'Alembert-type representation formulae for the solution. In the second method the telegraph system is reduced to a linear Cauchy problem with a locally Lipschitzian functional perturbation; then regularity results are established by appealing to the theory of linear semigroups.

A two-phase problem with Robin conditions on the free boundary

2020

We study for the first time a two-phase free boundary problem in which the solution satisfies a Robin boundary condition. We consider the case in which the solution is continuous across the free boundary and we prove an existence and a regularity result for minimizers of the associated variational problem. Finally, in the appendix, we give an example of a class of Steiner symmetric minimizers. peerReviewed

A Multiplicity result for a class of strongly indefinite asymptotically linear second order systems

2010

We prove a multiplicity result for a class of strongly indefinite nonlinear second order asymptotically linear systems with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The key idea for the proof is to bring together the classical shooting method and the Maslov index of the linear Hamiltonian systems associated to the asymptotic limits of the given nonlinearity.

Classification and non-existence results for weak solutions to quasilinear elliptic equations with Neumann or Robin boundary conditions

2021

Abstract We classify positive solutions to a class of quasilinear equations with Neumann or Robin boundary conditions in convex domains. Our main tool is an integral formula involving the trace of some relevant quantities for the problem. Under a suitable condition on the nonlinearity, a relevant consequence of our results is that we can extend to weak solutions a celebrated result obtained for stable solutions by Casten and Holland and by Matano.

On Some Properties of the Dirichlet Problem at Resonance

2008

Abstract The boundary value problem at resonance 𝑥″ + 𝑥 = 𝑞 sin 𝑡 + 𝑓(𝑡,𝑥,𝑥′), 𝑥(0) = 0, 𝑥(π) = 0, is considered, where 𝑓 : [0,π] × 𝑹2 → 𝑹 is a bounded Carathéodory function, 𝑞 is a parameter. We state the multiplicity results without assuming that 𝑓 has limits.

Wedge filling and interface delocalization in finite Ising lattices with antisymmetric surface fields

2003

Theoretical predictions by Parry et al. for wetting phenomena in a wedge geometry are tested by Monte Carlo simulations. Simple cubic $L\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}L\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{L}_{y}$ Ising lattices with nearest neighbor ferromagnetic exchange and four free $L\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{L}_{y}$ surfaces, at which antisymmetric surface fields $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}{H}_{s}$ act, are studied for a wide range of linear dimensions $(4l~Ll~320,30l~{L}_{y}l~1000),$ in an attempt to clarify finite size effects on the wedge filling transition in this ``double-wedge'' geometry. Interpreting the Ising model as a lattice gas, the problem is equivalent to a li…

The Neumann Problem for the Total Variation Flow

2004

This chapter is devoted to prove existence and uniqueness of solutions for the minimizing total variation flow with Neumann boundary conditions, namely $$ \left\{ \begin{gathered} \frac{{\partial u}} {{\partial t}} = div\left( {\frac{{Du}} {{\left| {Du} \right|}}} \right) in Q = (0,\infty ) \times \Omega , \hfill \\ \frac{{\partial u}} {{\partial \eta }} = 0 on S = (0,\infty ) \times \partial \Omega , \hfill \\ u(0,x) = u_0 (x) in x \in \Omega , \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right. $$ (2.1) where Ω is a bounded set in ℝ N with Lipschitz continuous boundary ∂ Ω and u0 ∈ L1(Ω). As we saw in the previous chapter, this partial differential equation appears when one uses the steepest descent method …

The best constant for the Sobolev trace embedding from into

2004

Abstract In this paper we study the best constant, λ 1 ( Ω ) for the trace map from W 1 , 1 ( Ω ) into L 1 ( ∂ Ω ) . We show that this constant is attained in BV ( Ω ) when λ 1 ( Ω ) 1 . Moreover, we prove that this constant can be obtained as limit when p ↘ 1 of the best constant of W 1 , p ( Ω ) ↪ L p ( ∂ Ω ) . To perform the proofs we will look at Neumann problems involving the 1-Laplacian, Δ 1 ( u ) = div ( Du / | Du | ) .

On the Fučík spectrum of the p-Laplacian with no-flux boundary condition

2023

In this paper, we study the quasilinear elliptic problem \begin{align*} \begin{aligned} -\Delta_{p} u&= a\l(u^+\r)^{p-1}-b\l(u^-\r)^{p-1} \quad && \text{in } \Omega,\\ u & = \text{constant} &&\text{on } \partial\Omega,\\ 0&=\int_{\partial \Omega}\left|\nabla u\right|^{p-2}\nabla u\cdot \nu \,\diff \sigma,&& \end{aligned} \end{align*} where the operator is the $p$-Laplacian and the boundary condition is of type no-flux. In particular, we consider the Fu\v{c}\'{\i}k spectrum of the $p$-Laplacian with no-flux boundary condition which is defined as the set $\fucik$ of all pairs $(a,b)\in\R^2$ such that the problem above has a nontrivial solution. It turns out…
