Some qualitative properties for the total variation flow
2002
We prove the existence of a finite extinction time for the solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the total variation flow. For the Neumann problem, we prove that the solutions reach the average of its initial datum in finite time. The asymptotic profile of the solutions of the Dirichlet problem is also studied. It is shown that the profiles are nonzero solutions of an eigenvalue-type problem that seems to be unexplored in the previous literature. The propagation of the support is analyzed in the radial case showing a behaviour entirely different to the case of the problem associated with the p-Laplacian operator. Finally, the study of the radially symmetric case allows us to point out othe…
Existence and asymptotic properties for quasilinear elliptic equations with gradient dependence
2016
Abstract The paper focuses on a Dirichlet problem driven by the ( p , q ) -Laplacian containing a parameter μ > 0 in the principal part of the elliptic equation and a (convection) term fully depending on the solution and its gradient. Existence of solutions, uniqueness, a priori estimates, and asymptotic properties as μ → 0 and μ → ∞ are established under suitable conditions.
Regularity of renormalized solutions to nonlinear elliptic equations away from the support of measure data
2018
We prove boundedness and continuity for solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the equation $$ - {\rm{div}}(a(x,\nabla u)) = h(x,u) + \mu ,\;\;\;\;\;{\rm{in}}\;{\rm{\Omega }} \subset \mathbb{R}^{N},$$ where the left-hand side is a Leray-Lions operator from $$- {W}^{1,p}_0(\Omega)$$ into W−1,p′(Ω) with 1 < p < N, h(x,s) is a Caratheodory function which grows like ∣s∣p−1 and μ is a finite Radon measure. We prove that renormalized solutions, though not globally bounded, are Holder-continuous far from the support of μ.
Elliptic problems with convection terms in Orlicz spaces
2021
Abstract The existence of a solution to a Dirichlet problem, for a class of nonlinear elliptic equations, with a convection term, is established. The main novelties of the paper stand on general growth conditions on the gradient variable, and on minimal assumptions on Ω. The approach is based on the method of sub and supersolutions. The solution is a zero of an auxiliary pseudomonotone operator build via truncation techniques. We present also some examples in which we highlight the generality of our growth conditions.
Anisotropic -Laplacian equations when goes to
2010
Abstract In this paper we prove a stability result for an anisotropic elliptic problem. More precisely, we consider the Dirichlet problem for an anisotropic equation, which is as the p -Laplacian equation with respect to a group of variables and as the q -Laplacian equation with respect to the other variables ( 1 p q ), with datum f belonging to a suitable Lebesgue space. For this problem, we study the behaviour of the solutions as p goes to 1 , showing that they converge to a function u , which is almost everywhere finite, regardless of the size of the datum f . Moreover, we prove that this u is the unique solution of a limit problem having the 1-Laplacian operator with respect to the firs…
Nonlinear elliptic equations having a gradient term with natural growth
2006
Abstract In this paper, we study a class of nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet problems whose simplest model example is: (1) { − Δ p u = g ( u ) | ∇ u | p + f , in Ω , u = 0 , on ∂ Ω . Here Ω is a bounded open set in R N ( N ⩾ 2 ), Δ p denotes the so-called p-Laplace operator ( p > 1 ) and g is a continuous real function. Given f ∈ L m ( Ω ) ( m > 1 ), we study under which growth conditions on g problem (1) admits a solution. If m ⩾ N / p , we prove that there exists a solution under assumption (3) (see below), and that it is bounded when m > N p ; while if 1 m N / p and g satisfies the condition (4) below, we prove the existence of an unbounded generalized solution. Note that no smallness condit…
New isoperimetric estimates for solutions to Monge - Ampère equations
2009
Abstract We prove some sharp estimates for solutions to Dirichlet problems relative to Monge–Ampere equations. Among them we show that the eigenvalue of the Dirichlet problem, when computed on convex domains with fixed measure, is maximal on ellipsoids. This result falls in the class of affine isoperimetric inequalities and shows that the eigenvalue of the Monge–Ampere operator behaves just the contrary of the first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator.
Multiple solutions with sign information for a (p,2)-equation with combined nonlinearities
2020
Abstract We consider a parametric nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by the sum of a p -Laplacian and of a Laplacian (a ( p , 2 ) -equation) and with a reaction which has the competing effects of two distinct nonlinearities. A parametric term which is ( p − 1 ) -superlinear (convex term) and a perturbation which is ( p − 1 ) -sublinear (concave term). First we show that for all small values of the parameter the problem has at least five nontrivial smooth solutions, all with sign information. Then by strengthening the regularity of the two nonlinearities we produce two more nodal solutions, for a total of seven nontrivial smooth solutions all with sign informations. Our proofs use critical p…
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…
