In the present paper, we prove nonexistence results for the following nonlinear evolution equation, see works of T. Cazenave and A. Haraux (1990) and S. Zheng (2004), $$u_{tt}+f\left(x\right)u_t+{(-\Delta )}^{\alpha /2}\left(u^m\right)=h(t,x){\left|u\right|}^p,$$ posed in $(0,T)\times {ℝ}^N,$ where ${(-\Delta )}^{\alpha /2},0<\alpha \le 2$ is $\alpha /2$-fractional power of $-\Delta .$ Our method of proof is based on suitable choices of the test functions in the weak formulation of the sought solutions. Then, we extend this result to the case of a $2\times 2$ system of the same type.

We investigate the existence of renormalized solutions for some nonlinear parabolic problems associated to equations of the form ⎧$\partial (e^{\beta u}-1)/\partial t-{div\left(\right|\nabla u|}^{p-2}\nabla u)+div(c(x,t){\left|u\right|}^{s-1}u)+b(x,t){\left|\nabla u\right|}^r=f$ in Q = Ω×(0,T), ⎨ u(x,t) = 0 on ∂Ω ×(0,T), ⎩ $(e^{\beta u}-1)(x,0)=(e^{\beta u₀}-1)\left(x\right)$ in Ω. with s = (N+2)/(N+p) (p-1), $c(x,t)\in {\left(L^{\tau }\left(QT\right)\right)}^N$, τ = (N+p)/(p-1), r = (N(p-1) + p)/(N+2), $b(x,t)\in L^{N+2,1}\left(QT\right)$ and f ∈ L¹(Q).

We introduce function spaces $B^{p,\lambda }$ with Morrey-Campanato norms, which unify $B^{p,\lambda }$, $CM{O}^{p,\lambda }$ and Morrey-Campanato spaces, and prove the boundedness of the fractional integral operator $I_{\alpha }$ on these spaces.

We introduce the generalized fractional integrals $I{̃}_{\alpha ,d}$ and prove the strong and weak boundedness of $I{̃}_{\alpha ,d}$ on the central Morrey spaces $B^{p,\lambda }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$. In order to show the boundedness, the generalized λ-central mean oscillation spaces ${\Lambda }_{p,\lambda }^{\left(d\right)}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ and the generalized weak λ-central mean oscillation spaces $W{\Lambda }_{p,\lambda }^{\left(d\right)}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ play an important role.

We investigate some nonlinear elliptic problems of the form $${\Delta }^{2}v+\sigma \left(x\right)v=h(x,v)\text{in}\Omega ,v=\Delta v=0\text{on}\partial \Omega ,\left(\mathrm{P}\right)$$ where $\Omega$ is a regular bounded domain in ${ℝ}^N$, $N\ge 2$, $\sigma \left(x\right)$ a positive function in $L^{\infty }\left(\Omega \right)$, and the nonlinearity $h(x,t)$ is indefinite. We prove the existence of solutions to the problem (P) when the function $h(x,t)$ is asymptotically linear at infinity by using variational method but without the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. Also, we consider the case when the nonlinearities are superlinear and subcritical.

We use the genus theory to prove the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the fractional $p$-Kirchhoff problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{\displaystyle -{\left[M\left({\int }_Q{\displaystyle \frac{{|u\left(x\right)-u\left(y\right)|}^p}{{|x-y|}^{N+ps}}}\mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d}y\right)\right]}^{p-1}{(-\Delta )}_p^{s}u=\lambda h(x,u)\text{in}\Omega ,}\hfill \\ u=0\text{on}{ℝ}^N\setminus \Omega ,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $\Omega$ is an open bounded smooth domain of ${ℝ}^N$, $p>1$, $N>ps$ with $s\in (0,1)$ fixed, $Q={ℝ}^{2N}\setminus (C\Omega \times C\Omega )$, $\lambda >0$ is a numerical parameter, $M$ and $h$ are continuous functions.

Let $u\in L^2(I;H^1\left(\Omega \right))$ with ${\partial }_{t}u\in L^2(I;H^1{\left(\Omega \right)}^{*})$ be given. Then we show by means of a counter-example that the positive part $u^{+}$ of $u$ has less regularity, in particular it holds ${\partial }_t{u}^{+}\notin L^1(I;H^1{\left(\Omega \right)}^{*})$ in general. Nevertheless, $u^{+}$ satisfies an integration-by-parts formula, which can be used to prove non-negativity of weak solutions of parabolic equations.

The paper deals with the existence of a Kneser solution of the $n$-th order nonlinear differential inclusion $$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill x^{\left(n\right)}\left(t\right)\in -A_1(t,x\left(t\right),...,x^{(n-1)}\left(t\right))x^{(n-1)}\left(t\right)-...-A_n(t,x\left(t\right),...,& x^{(n-1)}\left(t\right))x\left(t\right)\\ & \text{for}\text{a.a.}t\in [a,\infty ),\end{array}$$ where $a\in (0,\infty )$, and $A_i:[a,\infty )\times {ℝ}^n\to ℝ$, $i=1,...,n,$ are upper-Carathéodory mappings. The derived result is finally illustrated by the third order Kneser problem.

We prove the existence of solutions to nonlinear parabolic problems of the following type: $$\left\{\begin{array}{cc}{\displaystyle \frac{\partial b\left(u\right)}{\partial t}}+A\left(u\right)=f+\mathrm{div}\left(\Theta (x;t;u)\right)\hfill & \text{in}Q,\hfill \\ u(x;t)=0\hfill & \text{on}\partial \Omega \times [0;T],\hfill \\ b\left(u\right)(t=0)=b\left(u_0\right)\hfill & \text{on}\Omega ,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $b:ℝ\to ℝ$ is a strictly increasing function of class ${𝒞}^1$, the term $$A\left(u\right)=-\mathrm{div}\left(a\right(x,t,u,\nabla u\left)\right)$$ is an operator of Leray-Lions type which satisfies the classical Leray-Lions assumptions of Musielak type, $\Theta :\Omega \times [0;T]\times ℝ\to ℝ$ is a Carathéodory, noncoercive function which satisfies the following condition: ${sup}_{\left|s\right|\le k}\left|\Theta (·,·,s)\right|\in E_{\psi }\left(Q\right)$ for all $k>0$, where $\psi$ is the Musielak complementary function of $\Theta$, and the second term $f$ belongs to $L^1\left(Q\right)$.

In this paper, we consider the following boundary value problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{D}_{T^{-}}^{\alpha }\left(D_{0^{+}}^{\alpha }\left(D_{T^{-}}^{\alpha }\left(D_{0^{+}}^{\alpha }u\left(t\right)\right)\right)\right)=f(t,u\left(t\right)),t\in [0,T],\hfill \\ u\left(0\right)=u\left(T\right)=0\hfill \\ D_{T^{-}}^{\alpha }\left(D_{0^{+}}^{\alpha }u\left(0\right)\right)=D_{T^{-}}^{\alpha }\left(D_{0^{+}}^{\alpha }u\left(T\right)\right)=0,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $0<\alpha \le 1$ and $f:[0,T]\times ℝ\to ℝ$ is a continuous function, $D_{0^{+}}^{\alpha }$, $D_{T^{-}}^{\alpha }$ are respectively the left and right fractional Riemann–Liouville derivatives and we prove the existence of at least one solution for this problem.

In this paper, we consider solutions to the following chemotaxis system with general sensitivity $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}\tau u_t=\Delta u-\nabla ·\left(u\nabla \chi \left(v\right)\right)\text{in}\Omega \times (0,\infty ),\hfill \\ \eta v_t=\Delta v-v+u\text{in}\Omega \times (0,\infty ),\hfill \\ {\displaystyle \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu }=\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu }=0\text{on}\partial \Omega \times (0,\infty ).}\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ Here, $\tau$ and $\eta$ are positive constants, $\chi$ is a smooth function on $(0,\infty )$ satisfying ${\chi }^{\text{'}}(·)>0$ and $\Omega$ is a bounded domain of ${𝐑}^n$ ($n\ge 2$). It is well known that the chemotaxis system with direct sensitivity ($\chi \left(v\right)={\chi }_{0}v$, ${\chi }_0>0$) has blowup solutions in the case where $n\ge 2$. On the other hand, in the case where $\chi \left(v\right)={\chi }_{0}logv$ with $0<{\chi }_0\ll 1$, any solution to the system exists globally in time and is bounded. We present a sufficient condition for the boundedness...

We investigate the following quasilinear and singular problem, $$\text{t}o2.7cm\left\{\begin{array}{cc}-{\Delta }_{p}u=\frac{\lambda }{u^{\delta }}+u^q\hfill & \text{in}\Omega ;\hfill \\ {u|}_{\partial \Omega }=0,u\&gt;0\hfill & \text{in}\Omega ,\hfill \end{array}\right.\text{t}o2.7cm\text{(P)}$$ where $\Omega$ is an open bounded domain with smooth boundary, $1\&lt;p\&lt;\infty$, $p-1\&lt;q\le p^{*}-1$, $\lambda \&gt;0$, and $0\&lt;\delta \&lt;1$. As usual, $p^{*}=\frac{Np}{N-p}$ if $1\&lt;p\&lt;N$, $p^{*}\in (p,\infty )$ is arbitrarily large if $p=N$, and $p^{*}=\infty$ if $p\&gt;N$. We employ variational methods in order to show the existence of at least two distinct (positive) solutions of problem (P) in $W_0^{1,p}\left(\Omega \right)$. While following an approach due to Ambrosetti-Brezis-Cerami, we need to prove two new results of separate interest: a strong comparison principle...

This paper is concerned with the study of a nonlocal nonlinear parabolic problem associated with the equation $u_t-M\left({\int }_{\Omega }\phi u\mathrm{d}x\right)\mathrm{div}\left(A(x,t,u)\nabla u\right)=g(x,t,u)$ in $\Omega \times (0,T)$, where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain of ${ℝ}^n$ $(n\ge 1)$, $T>0$ is a positive number, $A(x,t,u)$ is an $n\times n$ matrix of variable coefficients depending on $u$ and $M:ℝ\to ℝ$, $\phi :\Omega \to ℝ$, $g:\Omega \times (0,T)\times ℝ\to ℝ$ are given functions. We consider two different assumptions on $g$. The existence of a weak solution for this problem is proved using the Schauder fixed point theorem for each of these assumptions. Moreover, if $A(x,t,u)=a(x,t)$ depends only on...

In this article, we study the existence of nontrivial weak solutions for the following boundary value problem: $$-{\Delta }_{\gamma }u=f(x,u)\text{in}\Omega ,u=0\text{on}\partial \Omega ,$$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in ${ℝ}^N$, $\Omega \cap \{x_j=0\}\ne \varnothing$ for some $j$, ${\Delta }_{\gamma }$ is a subelliptic linear operator of the type $${\Delta }_{\gamma }:=\sum _{j=1}^N{\partial }_{x_j}\left({\gamma }_j^2{\partial }_{x_j}\right),{\partial }_{x_j}:=\frac{\partial }{\partial x_j},N\ge 2,$$ where $\gamma \left(x\right)=({\gamma }_1\left(x\right),{\gamma }_2\left(x\right),\cdots ,{\gamma }_N\left(x\right))$ satisfies certain homogeneity conditions and degenerates at the coordinate hyperplanes and the nonlinearity $f(x,\xi )$ is of subcritical growth and does not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz (AR) condition.

Let $b>a>0$. We prove the following asymptotic formula $$\sum _{n⩾0}|\{x/(n+a)\}-\{x/(n+b)\}|=\frac{2}{\pi }\zeta (3/2)\sqrt{cx}+O\left(c^{2/9}{x}^{4/9}\right),$$ with $c=b-a$, uniformly for $x⩾40c^{-5}{(1+b)}^{27/2}$.
