Hölder continuity of solutions of second-order non-linear elliptic integro-differential equations

Guy Barles, Emmanuel Chasseigne, Cyril Imbert (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with the Hölder regularity of viscosity solutions of second-order, fully non-linear elliptic integro-differential equations. Our results rely on two key ingredients: first we assume that, at each point of the domain, either the equation is strictly elliptic in the classical fully non-linear sense, or (and this is the most original part of our work) the equation is strictly elliptic in a non-local non-linear sense we make precise. Next we impose some regularity...

A nonlocal elliptic equation in a bounded domain

Piotr Fijałkowski, Bogdan Przeradzki, Robert Stańczy (2004)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The existence of a positive solution to the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the second order elliptic equation in divergence form - i , j = 1 n D i ( a i j D j u ) = f ( u , Ω g ( u p ) ) , in a bounded domain Ω in ℝⁿ with some growth assumptions on the nonlinear terms f and g is proved. The method based on the Krasnosel’skiĭ Fixed Point Theorem enables us to find many solutions as well.

On positive solutions of quasilinear elliptic systems

Yuanji Cheng (1997)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

In this paper, we consider the existence and nonexistence of positive solutions of degenerate elliptic systems - Δ p u = f ( x , u , v ) , in Ω , - Δ p v = g ( x , u , v ) , in Ω , u = v = 0 , on Ω , where - Δ p is the p -Laplace operator, p > 1 and Ω is a C 1 , α -domain in n . We prove an analogue of [7, 16] for the eigenvalue problem with f ( x , u , v ) = λ 1 v p - 1 , g ( x , u , v ) = λ 2 u p - 1 and obtain a non-existence result of positive solutions for the general systems.

On the principal eigenvalue of elliptic operators in N and applications

Henry Berestycki, Luca Rossi (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Two generalizations of the notion of principal eigenvalue for elliptic operators in N are examined in this paper. We prove several results comparing these two eigenvalues in various settings: general operators in dimension one; self-adjoint operators; and “limit periodic” operators. These results apply to questions of existence and uniqueness for some semilinear problems in the whole space. We also indicate several outstanding open problems and formulate some conjectures.

A weighted symmetrization for nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations in inhomogeneous media

Guillermo Reyes, Juan Luis Vázquez (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

In the theory of elliptic equations, the technique of Schwarz symmetrization is one of the tools used to obtain a priori bounds for classical and weak solutions in terms of general information on the data. A basic result says that, in the absence of lower-order terms, the symmetric rearrangement of the solution u of an elliptic equation, that we write u * , can be compared pointwise with the solution of the symmetrized problem. The main question we address here is the modification of the...
