ANALYSIS OF A SPHERICAL HARMONICS EXPANSION MODEL OF PLASMA PHYSICS

2004

A spherical harmonics expansion model arising in plasma and semiconductor physics is analyzed. The model describes the distribution of particles in the position-energy space subject to a (given) electric potential and consists of a parabolic degenerate equation. The existence and uniqueness of global-in-time solutions is shown by semigroup theory if the particles are moving in a one-dimensional interval with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The degeneracy allows to show that there is no transport of particles across the boundary corresponding to zero energy. Furthermore, under certain conditions on the potential, it is proved that the solution converges in the long-time limit exponentially f…

Dirichlet Boundary Value Problem for the Second Order Asymptotically Linear System

2016

We consider the second order system x′′=f(x) with the Dirichlet boundary conditions x(0)=0=x(1), where the vector field f∈C1(Rn,Rn) is asymptotically linear and f(0)=0. We provide the existence and multiplicity results using the vector field rotation theory.

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.

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.

A Parametric Dirichlet Problem for Systems of Quasilinear Elliptic Equations With Gradient Dependence

2016

The aim of this article is to study the Dirichlet boundary value problem for systems of equations involving the (pi, qi) -Laplacian operators and parameters μi≥0 (i = 1,2) in the principal part. Another main point is that the nonlinearities in the reaction terms are allowed to depend on both the solution and its gradient. We prove results ensuring existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior with respect to the parameters.

Variable exponent p(x)-Kirchhoff type problem with convection

2022

Abstract We study a nonlinear p ( x ) -Kirchhoff type problem with Dirichlet boundary condition, in the case of a reaction term depending also on the gradient (convection). Using a topological approach based on the Galerkin method, we discuss the existence of two notions of solutions: strong generalized solution and weak solution. Strengthening the bound on the Kirchhoff type term (positivity condition), we establish existence of weak solution, this time using the theory of operators of monotone type.

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.

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.
