Existence of three solutions for a quasilinear two point boundary value problem
2002
In this paper we deal with the existence of at least three classical solutions for the following ordinary Dirichlet problem:¶¶ $ \left\{\begin{array}{ll} u'' + \lambda h(u')f(t,\:u) = 0\\ u(0) = u(1) = 0.\\\end{array}\right.\ $ ¶¶Our main tool is a recent three critical points theorem of B. Ricceri ([10]).
A sharp estimate of the extinction time for the mean curvature flow
2007
We establish a pointwise comparison result for a nonlinear degenerate elliptic Dirichlet problem using an isoperimetric inequality involving the total mean curvature. In particular this result provides a sharp estimate for the extinction time of a class of compact surfaces, wider than the convex one, moving by mean curvature flow. Finally we present numerical experiments to compare our estimate with those known in literature.
Positive solutions for parametric singular Dirichlet(p,q)-equations
2020
Abstract We consider a nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet problem driven by the ( p , q ) -Laplacian and a reaction consisting of a parametric singular term plus a Caratheodory perturbation f ( z , x ) which is ( p − 1 ) -linear as x → + ∞ . First we prove a bifurcation-type theorem describing in an exact way the changes in the set of positive solutions as the parameter λ > 0 moves. Subsequently, we focus on the solution multifunction and prove its continuity properties. Finally we prove the existence of a smallest (minimal) solution u λ ∗ and investigate the monotonicity and continuity properties of the map λ → u λ ∗ .
A Note on Riesz Bases of Eigenvectors of Certain Holomorphic Operator-Functions
2001
Abstract Operator-valued functions of the form A (λ) ≔ A − λ + Q(λ) with λ ↦ Q(λ)(A − μ)− 1 compact-valued and holomorphic on certain domains Ω ⊂ C are considered in separable Hilbert space. Assuming that the resolvent of A is compact, its eigenvalues are simple and the corresponding eigenvectors form a Riesz basis for H of finite defect, it is shown that under certain growth conditions on ‖Q(λ)(A − λ)− 1‖ the eigenvectors of A corresponding to a part of its spectrum also form a Riesz basis of finite defect. Applications are given to operator-valued functions of the form A (λ) = A − λ + B(λ − D)− 1C and to spectral problems in L2(0, 1) of the form −f″(x) + p(x, λ)f′(x) + q(x, λ)f(x) = λf(x…
Elliptic equations having a singular quadratic gradient term and a changing sign datum
2012
In this paper we study a singular elliptic problem whose model is \begin{eqnarray*} - \Delta u= \frac{|\nabla u|^2}{|u|^\theta}+f(x), in \Omega\\ u = 0, on \partial \Omega; \end{eqnarray*} where $\theta\in (0,1)$ and $f \in L^m (\Omega)$, with $m\geq \frac{N}{2}$. We do not assume any sign condition on the lower order term, nor assume the datum $f$ has a constant sign. We carefully define the meaning of solution to this problem giving sense to the gradient term where $u=0$, and prove the existence of such a solution. We also discuss related questions as the existence of solutions when the datum $f$ is less regular or the boundedness of the solutions when the datum $f \in L^m (\Omega)$ with …
Three solutions for a perturbed Dirichlet problem
2008
Abstract In this paper we prove the existence of at least three distinct solutions to the following perturbed Dirichlet problem: { − Δ u = f ( x , u ) + λ g ( x , u ) in Ω u = 0 on ∂ Ω , where Ω ⊂ R N is an open bounded set with smooth boundary ∂ Ω and λ ∈ R . Under very mild conditions on g and some assumptions on the behaviour of the potential of f at 0 and + ∞ , our result assures the existence of at least three distinct solutions to the above problem for λ small enough. Moreover such solutions belong to a ball of the space W 0 1 , 2 ( Ω ) centered in the origin and with radius not dependent on λ .

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.
Weak Solutions for a (p(z), q(z))-Laplacian Dirichlet Problem
2020
We establish the existence of a nontrivial and nonnegative solution for a double phase Dirichlet problem driven by a (p(z); q(z))-Laplacian operator plus a potential term. Our approach is variational, but the reaction term f need not satisfy the usual in such cases Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition.
Multiple positive solutions for singularly perturbed elliptic problems in exterior domains
2003
Abstract The equation − e 2 Δ u + a e ( x ) u = u p −1 with boundary Dirichlet zero data is considered in an exterior domain Ω = R N ⧹ ω ( ω bounded and N ⩾2). Under the assumption that a e ⩾ a 0 >0 concentrates round a point of Ω as e →0, that p >2 and p N /( N −2) when N ⩾3, the existence of at least three positive distinct solutions is proved.
