Evolution Problems Associated to Linear Growth Functionals: The Dirichlet Problem

2003

Let Ω be a bounded set inIR N with Lipschitz continuous boundary ∂Ω. We are interested in the problem

Positive solutions of Dirichlet and homoclinic type for a class of singular equations

2018

Abstract We study a nonlinear singular boundary value problem and prove that, depending on a relationship between exponents of power terms, the problem has either solutions of Dirichlet type or homoclinic solutions. We make use of shooting techniques and lower and upper solutions.

Three solutions to mixed boundary value problem driven by p(z)-Laplace operator

2021

We prove the existence of at least three weak solutions to a mixed Dirichlet–Neumann boundary value problem for equations driven by the p(z)-Laplace operator in the principal part. Our approach is variational and use three critical points theorems.

Guaranteed error bounds for a class of Picard-Lindelöf iteration methods

2013

We present a new version of the Picard-Lindelof method for ordinary dif- ¨ ferential equations (ODEs) supplied with guaranteed and explicitly computable upper bounds of an approximation error. The upper bounds are based on the Ostrowski estimates and the Banach fixed point theorem for contractive operators. The estimates derived in the paper take into account interpolation and integration errors and, therefore, provide objective information on the accuracy of computed approximations. peerReviewed

Weighted Extrapolation Techniques for Finite Difference Methods on Complex Domains with Cartesian Meshes

2016

The design of numerical boundary conditions in high order schemes is a challenging problem that has been tackled in different ways depending on the nature of the problem and the scheme used to solve it numerically. In this paper we propose a technique to extrapolate the information from the computational domain to ghost cells for schemes with structured Cartesian Meshes on complex domains. This technique is based on the application of Lagrange interpolation with weighted filters for the detection of discontinuities that permits a data dependent extrapolation, with high order at smooth regions and essentially non oscillatory properties near discontinuities. This paper is a sequel of Baeza et…

A Mönch type fixed point theorem under the interior condition

2009

Abstract In this paper we show that the well-known Monch fixed point theorem for non-self mappings remains valid if we replace the Leray–Schauder boundary condition by the interior condition. As a consequence, we obtain a partial generalization of Petryshyn's result for nonexpansive mappings.

Rank structured approximation method for quasi--periodic elliptic problems

2016

We consider an iteration method for solving an elliptic type boundary value problem $\mathcal{A} u=f$, where a positive definite operator $\mathcal{A}$ is generated by a quasi--periodic structure with rapidly changing coefficients (typical period is characterized by a small parameter $\epsilon$) . The method is based on using a simpler operator $\mathcal{A}_0$ (inversion of $\mathcal{A}_0$ is much simpler than inversion of $\mathcal{A}$), which can be viewed as a preconditioner for $\mathcal{A}$. We prove contraction of the iteration method and establish explicit estimates of the contraction factor $q$. Certainly the value of $q$ depends on the difference between $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal…

Functional Calculus and Fredholm Criteria for Boundary Value Problems on Noncompact Manifolds

1992

A Boutet de Monvel type calculus is developed for boundary value problems on (possibly) noncompact manifolds. It is based on a class of weighted symbols and Sobolev spaces. If the underlying manifold is compact, one recovers the standard calculus. The following is proven:

Quasihyperbolic boundary conditions and Poincaré domains

2002

We prove that a domain in ${\Bbb R}^n$ whose quasihyperbolic metric satisfies a logarithmic growth condition with coefficient $\beta\le 1$ is a (q,p)-\Poincare domain for all p and q satisfying $p\in[1,\infty)\cap(n-n\beta,n)$ and $q\in[p,\beta p^*)$ , where $p^*=np/(n-p)$ denotes the Sobolev conjugate exponent. An elementary example shows that the given ranges for p and q are sharp. The proof makes use of estimates for a variational capacity. When p=2 we give an application to the solvability of the Neumann problem on domains with irregular boundaries. We also discuss the relationship between this growth condition on the quasihyperbolic metric and the s-John condition.
