Harnack's inequality for p-harmonic functions via stochastic games

2013

We give a proof of asymptotic Lipschitz continuity of p-harmonious functions, that are tug-of-war game analogies of ordinary p-harmonic functions. This result is used to obtain a new proof of Lipsc...

Principal eigenvalue of a very badly degenerate operator and applications

2007

Abstract In this paper, we define and investigate the properties of the principal eigenvalue of the singular infinity Laplace operator Δ ∞ u = ( D 2 u D u | D u | ) ⋅ D u | D u | . This operator arises from the optimal Lipschitz extension problem and it plays the same fundamental role in the calculus of variations of L ∞ functionals as the usual Laplacian does in the calculus of variations of L 2 functionals. Our approach to the eigenvalue problem is based on the maximum principle and follows the outline of the celebrated work of Berestycki, Nirenberg and Varadhan [H. Berestycki, L. Nirenberg, S.R.S. Varadhan, The principal eigenvalue and maximum principle for second-order elliptic operator…

\( L^{1} \) existence and uniqueness results for quasi-linear elliptic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions

2007

Abstract In this paper we study the questions of existence and uniqueness of weak and entropy solutions for equations of type − div a ( x , D u ) + γ ( u ) ∋ ϕ , posed in an open bounded subset Ω of R N , with nonlinear boundary conditions of the form a ( x , D u ) ⋅ η + β ( u ) ∋ ψ . The nonlinear elliptic operator div a ( x , D u ) is modeled on the p-Laplacian operator Δ p ( u ) = div ( | D u | p − 2 D u ) , with p > 1 , γ and β are maximal monotone graphs in R 2 such that 0 ∈ γ ( 0 ) and 0 ∈ β ( 0 ) , and the data ϕ ∈ L 1 ( Ω ) and ψ ∈ L 1 ( ∂ Ω ) .

Weak solutions to Dirichlet boundary value problem driven by p(x)-Laplacian-like operator

2017

We prove the existence of weak solutions to the Dirichlet boundary value problem for equations involving the $p(x)$-Laplacian-like operator in the principal part, with reaction term satisfying a sub-critical growth condition. We establish the existence of at least one nontrivial weak solution and three weak solutions, by using variational methods and critical point theory.

Weak solution for Neumann (p,q)-Laplacian problem on Riemannian manifold

2019

We prove the existence of a nontrivial solution for a nonlinear (p, q)-Laplacian problem with Neumann boundary condition, on a non compact Riemannian manifold. The idea is to reduce the problem in variational form, which means to consider the critical points of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange functional in an Orlicz-Sobolev space. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc.

Multiplicity theorems for the Dirichlet problem involving the p-Laplacian

2003

Multiplicity theorems for the Dirichlet problem involving the p-Laplacian were proved using variational approach. It was shown that there existed an open interval and a positive real number, and each problem admits at least three weak solutions. Results on the existence of at least three weak solutions for the Dirichlet problems were established.

Multiple solutions for a Neumann-type differential inclusion problem involving the p(.)-Laplacian

2012

Using a multiple critical points theorem for locally Lipschitz continuous functionals, we establish the existence of at least three distinct solutions for a Neumann-type differential inclusion problem involving the $p(\cdot)$-Laplacian.

Unique continuation property and Poincar�� inequality for higher order fractional Laplacians with applications in inverse problems

2020

We prove a unique continuation property for the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$ when $s \in (-n/2,\infty)\setminus \mathbb{Z}$. In addition, we study Poincar\'e-type inequalities for the operator $(-\Delta)^s$ when $s\geq 0$. We apply the results to show that one can uniquely recover, up to a gauge, electric and magnetic potentials from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated to the higher order fractional magnetic Schr\"odinger equation. We also study the higher order fractional Schr\"odinger equation with singular electric potential. In both cases, we obtain a Runge approximation property for the equation. Furthermore, we prove a uniqueness result for a partial data problem of the $d$-…

A DUALITY APPROACH TO THE FRACTIONAL LAPLACIAN WITH MEASURE DATA

2011

We describe a duality method to prove both existence and uniqueness of solutions to nonlocal problems like $$(-\Delta)^s v = \mu \quad \text{in } \mathbb{R}^N,$$ ¶ with vanishing conditions at infinity. Here $\mu$ is a bounded Radon measure whose support is compactly contained in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq2$, and $-(\Delta)^s$ is the fractional Laplace operator of order $s\in (1/2,1)$.
