Nonlinear diffusion in transparent media: the resolvent equation
2017
Abstract We consider the partial differential equation u - f = div ( u m ∇ u | ∇ u | ) u-f=\operatornamewithlimits{div}\biggl{(}u^{m}\frac{\nabla u}{|\nabla u|}% \biggr{)} with f nonnegative and bounded and m ∈ ℝ {m\in\mathbb{R}} . We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions for both the Dirichlet problem (with bounded and nonnegative boundary datum) and the homogeneous Neumann problem. Solutions, which a priori belong to a space of truncated bounded variation functions, are shown to have zero jump part with respect to the ℋ N - 1 {{\mathcal{H}}^{N-1}} -Hausdorff measure. Results and proofs extend to more general nonlinearities.
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.
A sub-supersolution approach for Neumann boundary value problems with gradient dependence
2020
Abstract Existence and location of solutions to a Neumann problem driven by an nonhomogeneous differential operator and with gradient dependence are established developing a non-variational approach based on an adequate method of sub-supersolution. The abstract theorem is applied to prove the existence of finitely many positive solutions or even infinitely many positive solutions for a class of Neumann problems.
An existence result for a Neumann problem
2015
The main result of this paper deals with the existence of at least one positive solution for a second order Neumann boundary value problem. Such a result is obtained by using an abstract coincidence point theorem that allows to get our conclusion under non standard conditions on the nonlinearity.
Uniqueness of positive solutions to some nonlinear Neumann problems
2017
Abstract Using the moving plane method, we obtain a Liouville type theorem for nonnegative solutions of the Neumann problem { div ( y a ∇ u ( x , y ) ) = 0 , x ∈ R n , y > 0 , lim y → 0 + y a u y ( x , y ) = − f ( u ( x , 0 ) ) , x ∈ R n , under general nonlinearity assumptions on the function f : R → R for any constant a ∈ ( − 1 , 1 ) .
Landesman-Lazer type (p, q)-equations with Neumann condition
2020
We consider a Neumann problem driven by the (p, q)-Laplacian under the Landesman-Lazer type condition. Using the classical saddle point theorem and other classical results of the calculus of variations, we show that the problem has at least one nontrivial weak solution.
Three solutions for a Neumann boundary value problem involving the p-Laplacian
2005
In this note we prove the existence of an open interval ]λ', λ"[ for each λ of which a Neumann boundary value problem involving the p-Laplacian and depending on λ admits at least three solutions. The result is based on a recent three critical points theorem.
