Let be a bounded starshaped domain and consider the -Laplacian problem where is a positive parameter, , and is the critical Sobolev exponent. In this short note we address the question of non-existence for non-trivial solutions to the -Laplacian problem. In particular we show the non-existence of non-trivial solutions to the problem by using a method based on Pohozaev identity.
A nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation with the Newton boundary conditions is examined. We prove that for greater data we get a greater weak solution. This is the so-called comparison principle. It is applied to a steady-state heat conduction problem in anisotropic magnetic cores of large transformers.
We deal with a class of Penrose-Fife type phase field models for phase transitions, where the phase dynamics is ruled by a Cahn-Hilliard type equation. Suitable assumptions on the behaviour of the heat flux as the absolute temperature tends to zero and to are considered. An existence result is obtained by a double approximation procedure and compactness methods. Moreover, uniqueness and regularity results are proved as well.
We study some aspects of the asymptotic behavior of the solutions to a class of nonlinear parabolic equations.
We prove some results on the existence and compactness of solutions of a fractional Nirenberg problem. The crucial ingredients of our proofs are the understanding of the blow up profiles and a Liouville theorem.
We deal with a generalization of the Stokes system. Instead of the Laplace operator, we consider a general elliptic operator and a pressure gradient with small perturbations. We investigate the existence and uniqueness of a solution as well its regularity properties. Two types of regularity are provided. Aside from the classical Hilbert regularity, we also prove the Hölder regularity for coefficients in VMO space.
