Existence of critical points for some noncoercive functionals
We show that for any strongly closed subgroup of a unitary group of a finite von Neumann algebra, there exists a canonical Lie algebra which is complete with respect to the strong resolvent topology. Our analysis is based on the comparison between measure topology induced by the tracial state and the strong resolvent topology we define on the particular space of closed operators on the Hilbert space. This is an expository article of the paper by both authors in Hokkaido Math. J. 41 (2012), 31-99,...
We consider Kirchhoff type problems of the form ⎧ -M(ρ(u))(div(a(|∇u|)∇u) - a(|u|)u) = K(x)f(u) in Ω ⎨ ⎩ ∂u/∂ν = 0 on ∂Ω where , N ≥ 3, is a smooth bounded domain, ν is the outward unit normal to ∂Ω, , M: [0,∞) → ℝ is a continuous function, , and f: ℝ → ℝ is a continuous function not satisfying the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz type condition. Using variational methods, we obtain some existence and multiplicity results.
The paper is dedicated to the existence of local solutions of strongly nonlinear equations in RN and the Orlicz spaces framework is used.
In this paper, which is an extension of [4], we first show the existence of solutions to a class of Min Sup problems with linked constraints, which satisfy a certain property. Then, we apply our result to a class of weak nonlinear bilevel problems. Furthermore, for such a class of bilevel problems, we give a relationship with appropriate d.c. problems concerning the existence of solutions.
We prove the existence of weak solutions for steady flows of electrorheological fluids with homogeneous Navier-slip type boundary conditions provided . To prove this, we show Poincaré- and Korn-type inequalities, and then construct Lipschitz truncation functions preserving the zero normal component in variable exponent Sobolev spaces.
We present two existence results for the Dirichlet elliptic inclusion with an upper semicontinuous multivalued right-hand side in exponential-type Orlicz spaces involving a vector Laplacian, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on a domain Ω⊂ ℝ². The first result is obtained via the multivalued version of the Leray-Schauder principle together with the Nakano-Dieudonné sequential weak compactness criterion. The second result is obtained by using the nonsmooth variational technique together with...
We examine the properties of existentially closed (-embeddable) II₁ factors. In particular, we use the fact that every automorphism of an existentially closed (-embeddable) II₁ factor is approximately inner to prove that Th() is not model-complete. We also show that Th() is complete for both finite and infinite forcing and use the latter result to prove that there exist continuum many nonisomorphic existentially closed models of Th().
