Existence and uniqueness theorem is established for a variational problem including Biot's model of consolidation of clay. The proof of existence is constructive and uses the compactness method. Error estimates for the approximate solution obtained by a method combining finite elements and Euler's backward method are given.

In this paper, the existence of an $\omega$-periodic weak solution of a parabolic equation (1.1) with the boundary conditions (1.2) and (1.3) is proved. The real functions $f(t,r),h\left(t\right),a\left(t\right)$ are assumed to be $\omega$-periodic in $t,f\in L_2(S,H),a,h$ such that $a^{\text{'}}\in L_{\infty }\left(R\right),h^{\text{'}}\in L_{\infty }\left(R\right)$ and they fulfil (3). The solution $u$ belongs to the space $L_2(S,V)\cap L_{\infty }(S,H)$, has the derivative $u^{\text{'}}\in L_2(S,H)$ and satisfies the equations (4.1) and (4.2). In the proof the Faedo-Galerkin method is employed.

The initial boundary value problem for a beam is considered in the Timoshenko model. Assuming the analyticity of the initial conditions, it is proved that the problem is solvable throughout the time interval. After that, a numerical algorithm, consisting of three steps, is constructed. The solution is approximated with respect to the spatial and time variables using the Galerkin method and a Crank–Nicholson type scheme. The system of equations obtained by discretization is solved by a version of...

We consider the magneto-micropolar fluid flow in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝ². The flow is modelled by a system of PDEs, a generalisation of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. Using the Galerkin method we prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions and then using the ℓ-trajectories method we prove the existence of the exponential attractor in the dynamical system associated with the model.

We consider the following Darboux problem for the functional differential equation $\partial ²u/\partial x\partial y(x,y)=f(x,y,u_{(x,y)},\partial u/\partial x(x,y),\partial u/\partial y(x,y))$ a.e. in [0,a]×[0,b], u(x,y) = ψ(x,y) on [-a₀,a]×[-b₀,b]$0,a\left]\times \right(0,b],$where the function $u_{(x,y)}:[-a₀,0]\times [-b₀,0]\to {ℝ}^k$ is defined by $u_{(x,y)}(s,t)=u(s+x,t+y)$ for (s,t) ∈ [-a₀,0]×[-b₀,0]. We prove a theorem on existence of the Carathéodory solutions of the above problem.

In this paper, we are concerned with the asymptotically linear elliptic problem -Δu + λ0u = f(u), u ∈ H01(Ω) in an exterior domain Ω = RnO (N ≥ 3) with O a smooth bounded and star-shaped open set, and limt→+∞ f(t)/t = l, 0 < l < +∞. Using a precise deformation lemma and algebraic topology argument, we prove under our assumptions that the problem possesses at least one positive solution.

We study the Dirichlet problems for elliptic partial differential systems with nonuniform growth. By means of the Musielak-Orlicz space theory, we obtain the existence of weak solutions, which generalizes the result of Acerbi and Fusco [1].
