An eigenvalue Dirichlet problem involving the p-Laplacian with discontinuous nonlinearities

2005

AbstractA multiplicity result for an eigenvalue Dirichlet problem involving the p-Laplacian with discontinuous nonlinearities is obtained. The proof is based on a three critical points theorem for nondifferentiable functionals.

Multiple solutions for a Dirichlet problem with p-Laplacian and set-valued nonlinearity

2008

AbstractThe existence of a negative solution, of a positive solution, and of a sign-changing solution to a Dirichlet eigenvalue problem with p-Laplacian and multi-valued nonlinearity is investigated via sub- and supersolution methods as well as variational techniques for nonsmooth functions.

The Dirichlet problem for the total variation flow

2001

Suppose that Ω is an open bounded domain with a Lipschitz boundary. The purpose of this chapter is to study the Dirichlet problem $$ \left\{ \begin{gathered} \frac{{\partial u}} {{\partial t}} = div\left( {\frac{{Du}} {{\left| {Du} \right|}}} \right)in Q = \left( {0,\infty } \right) \times \Omega , \hfill \\ u\left( {t,x} \right) = \phi \left( x \right)on S = \left( {0,\infty } \right) \times \partial \Omega , \hfill \\ u\left( {0,x} \right) = u_0 \left( x \right)in x \in \Omega \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right. $$ (5.1) where u0 ∈ L1(Ω) and ϕ ∈ L1 (∂Ω). This evolution equation is related to the gradient descent method used to solve the problem $$ \begin{gathered} Minimize \int {_\Omega \lef…

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.

Optimal Population Growth as an Endogenous Discounting Problem: The Ramsey Case

2018

International audience; This paper revisits the optimal population size problem in a continuous time Ramsey setting with costly child rearing and both intergenerational and intertemporal altruism. The social welfare functions considered range from the Millian to the Benthamite. When population growth is endogenized, the associated optimal control problem involves an endogenous effective discount rate depending on past and current population growth rates, which makes preferences intertemporally dependent. We tackle this problem by using an appropriate maximum principle. Then we study the stationary solutions (balanced growth paths) and show the existence of two admissible solutions except in…

Infinite games and chain conditions

2015

We apply the theory of infinite two-person games to two well-known problems in topology: Suslin's Problem and Arhangel'skii's problem on $G_\delta$ covers of compact spaces. More specifically, we prove results of which the following two are special cases: 1) every linearly ordered topological space satisfying the game-theoretic version of the countable chain condition is separable and 2) in every compact space satisfying the game-theoretic version of the weak Lindel\"of property, every cover by $G_\delta$ sets has a continuum-sized subcollection whose union is $G_\delta$-dense.

Dirichlet Forms, Poincaré Inequalities, and the Sobolev Spaces of Korevaar and Schoen

2004

We answer a question of Jost on the validity of Poincare inequalities for metric space-valued functions in a Dirichlet domain. We also investigate the relationship between Dirichlet domains and the Sobolev-type spaces introduced by Korevaar and Schoen.

Restricted Uniform Boundedness in Banach Spaces

2009

Precise conditions for a subset A of a Banach space X are known in order that pointwise bounded on A sequences of bounded linear functionals on X are uniformly bounded. In this paper, we study such conditions under the extra assumption that the functionals belong to a given linear subspace &#915 of X *. When &#915 = X *, these conditions are known to be the same ones assuring a bounded linear operator into X , having A in its image, to be onto. We prove that, for A , deciding uniform boundedness of sequences in &#915 is the same property as deciding surjectivity for certain classes of operators.
