Symmetry of solutions of semilinear elliptic problems

Jean Van Schaftingen, Michel Willem (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study symmetry properties of least energy positive or nodal solutions of semilinear elliptic problems with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. The proof is based on symmetrizations in the spirit of Bartsch, Weth and Willem (J. Anal. Math., 2005) together with a strong maximum principle for quasi-continuous functions of Ancona and an intermediate value property for such functions.

The discrete maximum principle for Galerkin solutions of elliptic problems

Tomáš Vejchodský (2012)

Open Mathematics

This paper provides an equivalent characterization of the discrete maximum principle for Galerkin solutions of general linear elliptic problems. The characterization is formulated in terms of the discrete Green’s function and the elliptic projection of the boundary data. This general concept is applied to the analysis of the discrete maximum principle for the higher-order finite elements in one-dimension and to the lowest-order finite elements on simplices of arbitrary dimension. The paper surveys...

The speed of propagation for KPP type problems. I: Periodic framework

Henry Berestycki, François Hamel, Nikolai Nadirashvili (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

This paper is devoted to some nonlinear propagation phenomena in periodic and more general domains, for reaction-diffusion equations with Kolmogorov–Petrovsky–Piskunov (KPP) type nonlinearities. The case of periodic domains with periodic underlying excitable media is a follow-up of the article [7]. It is proved that the minimal speed of pulsating fronts is given by a variational formula involving linear eigenvalue problems. Some consequences concerning the influence of the geometry of the domain,...

Archivum Mathematicum

We introduce weak discrete maximum principles for matrix equations associated with some elliptic problems. We also give an example on discrete maximum principles.
