Using a weaker version of the Newton-Kantorovich theorem, we provide a discretization result to find finite element solutions of elliptic boundary value problems. Our hypotheses are weaker and under the same computational cost lead to finer estimates on the distances involved and a more precise information on the location of the solution than before.
We present a simple proof of the fact that if is a bounded domain in , , which is convex and symmetric with respect to orthogonal directions, , then the nodal sets of the eigenfunctions of the laplacian corresponding to the eigenvalues must intersect the boundary. This result was proved by Payne in the case for the second eigenfunction, and by other authors in the case of convex domains in the plane, again for the second eigenfunction.
The paper deals with the 2-D system of gas dynamics without pressure which was introduced in 1970 by Ua. Zeldovich to describe the formation of largescale structure of the Universe. Such system occurs to be an intermediate object between the systems of ordinary differential equations and hyperbolic systems of PDE. The main its feature is the arising of singularities: discontinuities for velocity and d-functions of various types for density. The rigorous notion of generalized solutions in terms of...
We consider the Neumann problem for the equation , u ∈ H¹(Ω), where Q is a positive and continuous coefficient on Ω̅ and λ is a parameter between two consecutive eigenvalues and . Applying a min-max principle based on topological linking we prove the existence of a solution.
In this paper we investigate the solvability of some Neumann problems involving the critical Sobolev and Hardy exponents.
We obtain a precise decay estimate of the energy of the solutions to the initial boundary value problem for the wave equation with nonlinear internal and boundary feedbacks. We show that a judicious choice of the feedbacks leads to fast energy decay.
We study singularly perturbed 1D nonlinear Schrödinger equations (1.1). When has multiple critical points, (1.1) has a wide variety of positive solutions for small and the number of positive solutions increases to as . We give an estimate of the number of positive solutions whose growth order depends on the number of local maxima of . Envelope functions or equivalently adiabatic profiles of high frequency solutions play an important role in the proof.
