    On the solutions of quasilinear elliptic equations with a polynomial-type reaction term

    No full text
    We study existence and boundedness of solutions for the quasilinear elliptic equation −Δ_m u = λ(1+u)^p in a bounded domain Ω with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The assumptions on both the parameters λ and p are fundamental. Strange critical exponents appear when boundedness of solutions is concerned. In our proofs we use techniques from calculus of variations, from critical-point theory, and from the theory of ordinary differential equations

    Least energy solutions for critical growth equations with a lower order perturbation

    No full text
    We study existence and nonexistence of least energy solutions of a quasilinear critical growth equation with degenerate m-Laplace operator in a bounded domain in R^n with n > m > 1. Existence and nonexistence of solutions of this problem depend on a lower order perturbation and on the space dimension n. Our proofs are obtained with critical point theory and the lack of compactness, due to critical growth condition, is overcome by constructing minimax levels in a suitable compactness range

    Existence and multiplicity results for semilinear elliptic equations with measures and jumping nonlinearities

    No full text
    We study existence and multiplicity results for semilinear elliptic equations of the type -\Delta u = g(x, u) - te_1 + \mu with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here g(x, u) is a jumping nonlinearity, \mu is a Radon measure, t is a positive constant and e_1 > 0 is the first eigenfunction of -\Delta. Existence results strictly depend on the asymptotic behavior of g(x, u) as u -> \pm \infty. Depending on this asymptotic behavior, we prove existence of two and three solutions for t > 0 large enough. In order to find solutions of the equation, we introduce a suitable action functional I_t by mean of an appropriate iterative scheme. Then we apply to I_t standard results from the critical point theory and we prove existence of critical points for this functional

    A partially hinged rectangular plate as a model for suspension bridges

    Full text link
    A plate model describing the statics and dynamics of a suspension bridge is suggested. A partially hinged plate subject to nonlinear restoring hangers is considered. The whole theory from linear problems, through nonlinear stationary equations, ending with the full hyperbolic evolution equation is studied. This paper aims to be the starting point for more refined models

    Almgren-type monotonicity methods for the classification of behavior at corners of solutions to semilinear elliptic equations

    No full text
    A monotonicity approach to the study of the asymptotic behaviour near corners of solutions to semilinear elliptic equations in domains with a conical boundary point is discussed. The presence of logarithms in the first term of the asymptotic expansion is excluded for boundary profiles sufficiently close to straight conical surfaces

    Existence and Multiplicity Results for Semilinear Elliptic Equations with Measure Data and Jumping Nonlinearities

    No full text
    We study existence and multiplicity results for semilinear elliptic equations of the type −∆u = g(x, u) − te_1 + μ with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here g(x, u) is a jumping nonlinearity, μ is a Radon measure, t is a positive constant and e_1 > 0 is the first eigenfunction of −∆. Existence results strictly depend on the asymptotic behavior of g(x, u) as u → ±∞. Depending on this asymptotic behavior, we prove existence of two and three solutions for t > 0 large enough. In order to find solutions of the equation, we introduce a suitable action functional I_t by means of an appropriate iterative scheme. Then we apply to It standard results from the critical point theory and we prove existence of critical points for this functional

    Existence and Multiplicity Results for Semilinear Equations with Measure Data

    No full text
    In this paper, we study existence and nonexistence of solutions for the Dirichlet problem associated with the equation −∆u = g(x, u) + μ where μ is a Radon measure. Existence and nonexistence of solutions strictly depend on the nonlinearity g(x, u) and suitable growth restrictions are assumed on it. Our proofs are obtained by standard arguments from critical theory and in order to find solutions of the equation, suitable functionals are introduced by mean of approximation arguments and iterative schemes

    On the behavior at collisions of solutions to Schrodinger equations with many-particle and cylindrical potentials

    No full text
    The asymptotic behavior of solutions to Schr ̈odinger equations with singular homogeneous potentials is investigated. Through an Almgren type monotonicity formula and separation of variables, we describe the exact asymptotics near the singularity of solutions to at most critical semilinear elliptic equations with cylindrical and quantum multi-body singular potentials. Furthermore, by an iterative Brezis-Kato procedure, pointwise upper estimate are derived
