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 .

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.

Symmetrization for singular semilinear elliptic equations

2012

In this paper, we prove some comparison results for the solution to a Dirichlet problem associated with a singular elliptic equation and we study how the summability of such a solution varies depending on the summability of the datum f. © 2012 Fondazione Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata and Springer-Verlag.

Existence and comparison results for a singular semilinear elliptic equation with a lower order term

2014

This paper deals with the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for a singular semilinear elliptic equation with a first order term. When the datum is bounded we prove an existence result and we show that any solution can be compared with the solution to a suitable symmetrized problem.

On Noncoercive (p, q)-Equations

2021

We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by a (p, q)-Laplace differential operator (1 < q < p). The reaction is (p - 1)-linear near +/-infinity and the problem is noncoercive. Using variational tools and truncation and comparison techniques together with critical groups, we produce five nontrivial smooth solutions all with sign information and ordered. In the particular case when q = 2, we produce a second nodal solution for a total of six nontrivial smooth solutions all with sign information.

Nonlinear Diffusion in Transparent Media

2021

Abstract We consider a prototypical nonlinear parabolic equation whose flux has three distinguished features: it is nonlinear with respect to both the unknown and its gradient, it is homogeneous, and it depends only on the direction of the gradient. For such equation, we obtain existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions to the Dirichlet problem, the homogeneous Neumann problem, and the Cauchy problem. Qualitative properties of solutions, such as finite speed of propagation and the occurrence of waiting-time phenomena, with sharp bounds, are shown. We also discuss the formation of jump discontinuities both at the boundary of the solutions’ support and in the bulk.

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.
