Existence of optimal maps in the reflector-type problems

Wilfrid Gangbo, Vladimir Oliker (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper, we consider probability measures μ and ν on a d-dimensional sphere in 𝐑 d + 1 , d 1 , and cost functions of the form c ( 𝐱 , 𝐲 ) = l ( | 𝐱 - 𝐲 | 2 2 ) that generalize those arising in geometric optics where l ( t ) = - log t . We prove that if μ and ν vanish on ( d - 1 ) -rectifiable sets, if |l'(t)|>0, lim t 0 + l ( t ) = + , and g ( t ) : = t ( 2 - t ) ( l ' ( t ) ) 2 is monotone then there exists a unique optimal map To that transports μ onto ν , where optimality is measured against c. Furthermore, inf 𝐱 | T o 𝐱 - 𝐱 | > 0 . Our approach is based on direct variational arguments. In the special case when l ( t ) = - log t , existence of optimal maps...

Existence of solution of the nonlinear Dirichlet problem for differential-functional equations of elliptic type

Stanisław Brzychczy (1993)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Consider a nonlinear differential-functional equation (1) Au + f(x,u(x),u) = 0 where A u : = i , j = 1 m a i j ( x ) ( ² u ) / ( x i x j ) , x = ( x 1 , . . . , x m ) G m , G is a bounded domain with C 2 + α (0 < α < 1) boundary, the operator A is strongly uniformly elliptic in G and u is a real L p ( G ̅ ) function. For the equation (1) we consider the Dirichlet problem with the boundary condition (2) u(x) = h(x) for x∈ ∂G. We use Chaplygin’s method [5] to prove that problem (1), (2) has at least one regular solution in a suitable class of functions. Using the method of upper and lower...

Existence of solutions for some elliptic problems with critical Sobolev exponents.

Mario Zuluaga (1989)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

Let Ω be a bounded domain in Rn with n ≥ 3. In this paper we are concerned with the problem of finding u ∈ H01 (Ω) satisfying the nonlinear elliptic problemsΔu + |u|(n+2/n-2) + f(x) = 0  in Ω and u(x) = 0 on ∂Ω, andΔu + u + |u|(n+2/n-2) + f(x) = 0  in Ω and u(x) = 0 on ∂Ω, when of f ∈ L∞(Ω).
