Boundedness and pointwise differentiability of weak solutions to quasi-linear elliptic differential equations and variational inequalities

Jana Ježková (1994)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The local boundedness of weak solutions to variational inequalities (obstacle problem) with the linear growth condition is obtained. Consequently, an analogue of a theorem by Reshetnyak about a.eḋifferentiability of weak solutions to elliptic divergence type differential equations is proved for variational inequalities.

Bounds and numerical results for homogenized degenerated p -Poisson equations

Johan Byström, Jonas Engström, Peter Wall (2004)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we derive upper and lower bounds on the homogenized energy density functional corresponding to degenerated p -Poisson equations. Moreover, we give some non-trivial examples where the bounds are tight and thus can be used as good approximations of the homogenized properties. We even present some cases where the bounds coincide and also compare them with some numerical results.

Bubbling along boundary geodesics near the second critical exponent

Manuel del Pino, Monica Musso, Frank Pacard (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The role of the second critical exponent p = ( n + 1 ) / ( n - 3 ) , the Sobolev critical exponent in one dimension less, is investigated for the classical Lane–Emden–Fowler problem Δ u + u p = 0 , u > 0 under zero Dirichlet boundary conditions, in a domain Ω in n with bounded, smooth boundary. Given Γ , a geodesic of the boundary with negative inner normal curvature we find that for p = ( n + 1 ) / ( n - 3 - ε ) , there exists a solution u ε such that | u ε | 2 converges weakly to a Dirac measure on Γ as ε 0 + , provided that Γ is nondegenerate in the sense of second variations of...

Capacitary strong type estimates in semilinear problems

D. Adams, Michel Pierre (1991)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We prove the equivalence of various capacitary strong type estimates. Some of them appear in the characterization of the measures μ that are admissible data for the existence of solutions to semilinear elliptic problems with power growth. Other estimates are known to characterize the measures μ for which the Sobolev space W 2 , p can be imbedded into L p ( μ ) . The motivation comes from the semilinear problems: simpler descriptions of admissible data are given. The proof surprisingly involves the theory of singular...

Characterizations of p-superharmonic functions on metric spaces

Anders Björn (2005)

Studia Mathematica

We show the equivalence of some different definitions of p-superharmonic functions given in the literature. We also provide several other characterizations of p-superharmonicity. This is done in complete metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a Poincaré inequality. There are many examples of such spaces. A new one given here is the union of a line (with the one-dimensional Lebesgue measure) and a triangle (with a two-dimensional weighted Lebesgue measure). Our results also...
