A nonlinear periodic system with nonsmooth potential of indefinite sign

Michael E. Filippakis, Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou (2006)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

In this paper we consider a nonlinear periodic system driven by the vector ordinary p -Laplacian and having a nonsmooth locally Lipschitz potential, which is positively homogeneous. Using a variational approach which exploits the homogeneity of the potential, we establish the existence of a nonconstant solution.

A relaxation result for autonomous integral functionals with discontinuous non-coercive integrand

Similarity:

Let L : N × N be a borelian function and consider the following problems inf F ( y ) = a b L ( y ( t ) , y ' ( t ) ) d t : y A C ( [ a , b ] , N ) , y ( a ) = A , y ( b ) = B ( P ) inf F * * ( y ) = a b Ł ( y ( t ) , y ' ( t ) ) d t : y A C ( [ a , b ] , N ) , y ( a ) = A , y ( b ) = B · ( P * * ) We give a sufficient condition, weaker then superlinearity, under which inf F = inf F * * if L is just continuous in x . We then extend a result of Cellina on the Lipschitz regularity of the minima of ( P ) when L is not superlinear.

Periodic solutions for systems with nonsmooth and partially coercive potential

Michael E. Filippakis (2006)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

In this paper we consider nonlinear periodic systems driven by the one-dimensional p -Laplacian and having a nonsmooth locally Lipschitz potential. Using a variational approach based on the nonsmooth Critical Point Theory, we establish the existence of a solution. We also prove a multiplicity result based on a nonsmooth extension of the result of Brezis-Nirenberg (Brezis, H., Nirenberg, L., Remarks on finding critical points, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 44 (1991), 939–963.) due to Kandilakis-Kourogenis-Papageorgiou...
