Positive solutions for a discrete two point nonlinear boundary value problem with p-Laplacian
2017
Abstract In the framework of variational methods, we use a two non-zero critical points theorem to obtain the existence of two positive solutions to Dirichlet boundary value problems for difference equations involving the discrete p -Laplacian operator.
A hierarchy of simplified constitutive models within isotropic strain gradient elasticity
2017
Abstract Simplified isotropic models of strain gradient elasticity are presented, based on the mutual relationship between the inherent (dual) gradient directions (i.e. the gradient direction of any strain gradient source and the lever arm direction of the promoted double stress). A class of gradient-symmetric materials featured by gradient directions obeying a reciprocity relation and by 4 independent h.o. (higher order) coefficients is envisioned, along with the sub-classes of hemi-collinear materials (3 h.o. coefficients, gradient directions in part coincident), collinear materials (2 h.o. coefficients, equal gradient directions) and micro-affine materials (1 h.o. coefficient, behavioral…
On Boundary Value Problems for ϕ-Laplacian on the Semi-Infinite Interval
2017
The Dirichlet problem and the problem with functional boundary condition for ϕ-Laplacian on the semi-infinite interval are studied as well as solutions between the lower and upper functions.
Weakened acute type condition for tetrahedral triangulations and the discrete maximum principle
2000
We prove that a discrete maximum principle holds for continuous piecewise linear finite element approximations for the Poisson equation with the Dirichlet boundary condition also under a condition of the existence of some obtuse internal angles between faces of terahedra of triangulations of a given space domain. This result represents a weakened form of the acute type condition for the three-dimensional case.
Some qualitative properties for the total variation flow
2002
We prove the existence of a finite extinction time for the solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the total variation flow. For the Neumann problem, we prove that the solutions reach the average of its initial datum in finite time. The asymptotic profile of the solutions of the Dirichlet problem is also studied. It is shown that the profiles are nonzero solutions of an eigenvalue-type problem that seems to be unexplored in the previous literature. The propagation of the support is analyzed in the radial case showing a behaviour entirely different to the case of the problem associated with the p-Laplacian operator. Finally, the study of the radially symmetric case allows us to point out othe…
Sur les problèmes d'optimisation structurelle

We discuss existence theorems for shape optimization and material distribution problems. The conditions that we impose on the unknown sets are continuity of the boundary, respectively a certain measurability hypothesis. peerReviewed
Branches of index-preserving solutions to systems of second order ODEs
2009
We investigate the existence of a continuum of index-preserving solutions to a Dirichlet problem associated with a parameter-dependent system of second order ordinary differential equations, developing a detailed analysis on the behaviour of the branches of nontrivial solutions. Our approach is based on the Rabinowitz global bifurcation Theorem combined with the notion of index and nullity of suitable linear boundary value problems. An application of the result to the study of branches of odd, periodic solutions for suitable systems of two linearly coupled pendulums of lenghts variables is also analyzed.
Generalized dirichlet problem in nonlinear potential theory
1990
The operator extending the classical solution of the Dirichlet problem for the quasilinear elliptic equation divA(x,▽u)=0 akin to thep-Laplace equation is shown to be unique providedA obeys a specific order principle. The Keldych lemma is also generalized to this nonlinear setting.
Optimal shape design and unilateral boundary value problems: Part II
2007
In the first part we give a general existence theorem and a regularization method for an optimal control problem where the control is a domain in R″ and where the system is governed by a state relation which includes differential equations as well as inequalities. In the second part applications for optimal shape design problems governed by the Dirichlet-Signorini boundary value problem are presented. Several numerical examples are included.
The effects of convolution and gradient dependence on a parametric Dirichlet problem
2020
Our objective is to study a new type of Dirichlet boundary value problem consisting of a system of equations with parameters, where the reaction terms depend on both the solution and its gradient (i.e., they are convection terms) and incorporate the effects of convolutions. We present results on existence, uniqueness and dependence of solutions with respect to the parameters involving convolutions.
