Continuous dependence on function parameters for superlinear Dirichlet problems

Aleksandra Orpel (2005)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We discuss the existence of solutions for a certain generalization of the membrane equation and their continuous dependence on function parameters. We apply variational methods and consider the PDE as the Euler-Lagrange equation for a certain integral functional, which is not necessarily convex and coercive. As a consequence of the duality theory we obtain variational principles for our problem and some numerical results concerning approximation of solutions.

New variational principle and duality for an abstract semilinear Dirichlet problem

Marek Galewski (2003)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

A new variational principle and duality for the problem Lu = ∇G(u) are provided, where L is a positive definite and selfadjoint operator and ∇G is a continuous gradient mapping such that G satisfies superquadratic growth conditions. The results obtained may be applied to Dirichlet problems for both ordinary and partial differential equations.

On the existence of multiple positive solutions for a certain class of elliptic problems

Aleksandra Orpel (2004)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We investigate the existence of solutions for the Dirichlet problem including the generalized balance of a membrane equation. We present a duality theory and variational principle for this problem. As one of the consequences of the duality we obtain some numerical results which give a measure of a duality gap between the primal and dual functional for approximate solutions.

Non-trivial solutions for a two-point boundary value problem

G. A. Afrouzi, A. Hadjian, S. Heidarkhani (2013)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We prove the existence of at least one non-trivial solution for Dirichlet quasilinear elliptic problems. The approach is based on variational methods.

Uniqueness results for operators in the variational sequence

W. M. Mikulski (2009)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We prove that the most interesting operators in the Euler-Lagrange complex from the variational bicomplex in infinite order jet spaces are determined up to multiplicative constant by the naturality requirement, provided the fibres of fibred manifolds have sufficiently large dimension. This result clarifies several important phenomena of the variational calculus on fibred manifolds.

Solution of the inverse problem of the calculus of variations

Jan Chrastina (1994)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

Given a family of curves constituting the general solution of a system of ordinary differential equations, the natural question occurs whether the family is identical with the totality of all extremals of an appropriate variational problem. Assuming the regularity of the latter problem, effective approaches are available but they fail in the non-regular case. However, a rather unusual variant of the calculus of variations based on infinitely prolonged differential equations and systematic...

Abstract variational problems with volume constraints

Marc Oliver Rieger (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

Existence results for a class of one-dimensional abstract variational problems with volume constraints are established. The main assumptions on their energy are additivity, translation invariance and solvability of a transition problem. These general results yield existence results for nonconvex problems. A counterexample shows that a naive extension to higher dimensional situations in general fails.

A Remark on Variational Principles of Choban, Kenderov and Revalski

Adrian Królak (2013)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We consider some variational principles in the spaces C*(X) of bounded continuous functions on metrizable spaces X, introduced by M. M. Choban, P. S. Kenderov and J. P. Revalski. In particular we give an answer (consistent with ZFC) to a question stated by these authors.
