We prove the existence and uniqueness of a renormalized solution for a class of nonlinear parabolic equations with no growth assumption on the nonlinearities.

We consider the problem of influencing the motion of an electrically conducting fluid with an applied steady magnetic field. Since the flow is originating from buoyancy, heat transfer has to be included in the model. The stationary system of magnetohydrodynamics is considered, and an approximation of Boussinesq type is used to describe the buoyancy. The heat sources given by the dissipation of current and the viscous friction are not neglected in the fluid. The vessel containing the fluid is embedded...

In this paper we study the nonlinear Dirichlet problem involving p(x)-Laplacian (hemivariational inequality) with nonsmooth potential. By using nonsmooth critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functionals due to Chang [6] and the properties of variational Sobolev spaces, we establish conditions which ensure the existence of solution for our problem.

We consider the following Kirchhoff type problem involving a critical nonlinearity: ⎧ $-[a+b({\int }_{\Omega }{\left|\nabla u\right|²dx)}^m{]\Delta u=f(x,u)+|u|}^{2*-2}u$ in Ω, ⎨ ⎩ u = 0 on ∂Ω, where $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$ (N ≥ 3) is a smooth bounded domain with smooth boundary ∂Ω, a > 0, b ≥ 0, and 0 < m < 2/(N-2). Under appropriate assumptions on f, we show the existence of a positive ground state solution via the variational method.

We study a general class of nonlinear elliptic problems associated with the differential inclusion $\beta \left(u\right)-div\left(a\right(x,Du)+F(u\left)\right)\ni f$ in Ω where $f\in L^{\infty }\left(\Omega \right)$. The vector field a(·,·) is a Carathéodory function. Using truncation techniques and the generalized monotonicity method in function spaces we prove existence of renormalized solutions for general $L^{\infty }$-data.

In this article, we prove the existence of entropy solutions for the Dirichlet problem $$\left(P\right)\left\{\begin{array}{cc}-\mathrm{div}\left[\omega \right(x\left)𝒜\right(x,u,\nabla u\left)\right]=f\left(x\right)-\mathrm{div}\left(G\right),\hfill & \text{in}\Omega \hfill \\ u\left(x\right)=0,\hfill & \text{on}\partial \Omega \hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded open set of ${}^N$, $N\ge 2$, $f\in L^1\left(\Omega \right)$ and $G/\omega \in {\left[L^{p^{\text{'}}}(\Omega ,\omega )\right]}^N$.

In the present paper, we prove existence results of entropy solutions to a class of nonlinear degenerate parabolic $p(·)$-Laplacian problem with Dirichlet-type boundary conditions and $L^1$ data. The main tool used here is the Rothe method combined with the theory of variable exponent Sobolev spaces.
