Existence of positive solutions for singular four-point boundary value problem with a p -Laplacian

Chunmei Miao, Junfang Zhao, Weigao Ge (2009)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper we deal with the four-point singular boundary value problem ( φ p ( u ' ( t ) ) ) ' + q ( t ) f ( t , u ( t ) , u ' ( t ) ) = 0 , t ( 0 , 1 ) , u ' ( 0 ) - α u ( ξ ) = 0 , u ' ( 1 ) + β u ( η ) = 0 , where φ p ( s ) = | s | p - 2 s , p > 1 , 0 < ξ < η < 1 , α , β > 0 , q C [ 0 , 1 ] , q ( t ) > 0 , t ( 0 , 1 ) , and f C ( [ 0 , 1 ] × ( 0 , + ) × , ( 0 , + ) ) may be singular at u = 0 . By using the well-known theory of the Leray-Schauder degree, sufficient conditions are given for the existence of positive solutions.

Existence of quasilinear relaxation shock profiles in systems with characteristic velocities

Guy Métivier, Benjamin Texier, Kevin Zumbrun (2012)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We revisit the existence problem for shock profiles in quasilinear relaxation systems in the case that the velocity is a characteristic mode, implying that the profile ODE is degenerate. Our result states existence, with sharp rates of decay and distance from the Chapman–Enskog approximation, of small-amplitude quasilinear relaxation shocks. Our method of analysis follows the general approach used by Métivier and Zumbrun in the semilinear case, based on Chapman–Enskog expansion and the macro–micro...
