    A priori estimates, positivity results, and nonexistence of theorems for quasilinear degenerate elliptic inequalities

    No full text
    A priori bounds for solutions of a wide class of quasilinear degenerate elliptic inequalities are proved. As an outcome we deduce sharp Liouville theorems. Our investigation includes inequalities associated to p-Laplacian and the mean curvature operators in Carnot groups setting. No hypotheses on the solutions at infinity are assumed. General results on the sign of solutions for quasilinear coercive/noncoercive inequalities are considered. Related applications to population biology and chemical reaction theory are also studied

    We prove general a priori estimates of solutions of a class of quasilinear elliptic system on Carnot groups. As a consequence, we obtain several non existence theorems. The results are new even in the Euclidean setting

    Conformal Killing Vector Fields And Rellich Type Identities On Riemannian Manifolds, Ii

    No full text
    We propose a general Noetherian approach to Rellich integral identities. Using this method we obtain a higher order Rellich type identity involving the polyharmonic operator on Riemannian manifolds admitting homothetic transformations. Then we prove a biharmonic Rellich identity in a more general context. We also establish a nonexistence result for semilinear systems involving biharmonic operators. © 2011 Springer Basel AG.91120Bozhkov, Y., Divergence symmetries of semilinear polyharmonic equations involving critical nonlinearities (2006) J.

    Nonnegative solutions of some quasilinear elliptic inequalities and applications

    No full text
    Abstract. Let f : R ! R be a continuous function. It is shown that under certain assumptions on f and A: R ! R+ weak C 1 solutions of the differential inequality −div(A(|ru|)ru) > f(u) on RN are nonnegative. Some extensions of the result in the framework of subelliptic operators on Carnot groups are considered

    A priori estimates and reduction principles for quasilinear elliptic problems and applications

    No full text
    A priori estimate of of solutions of quasilinear elliptic equations are a subject of vital interest in recent years. Most of the results are dealing with nonnegative solutions and nonlinearities with denite sign. Recently, Serrin [25] considered Liouville theorems for quasilinear equations with source term changing sign. These results are consequence of appropriate a priori estimates on the possible solutions

    An application of Kato’s inequality to quasilinear elliptic problems

    No full text
    Let L be a general second order differential elliptic operator. By using a quasilinear version of Kato’s inequality, we prove that the only weak solution of the problem L(u) = |u|^(q−1) u on RN , q > p − 1, is u = 0. Here p ≥ 1 is related to L
