We give a unified statement and proof of a class of well known mean value inequalities for nonnegative functions with a nonlinear bound on the Laplacian. We generalize these to domains with boundary, requiring a (possibly nonlinear) bound on the normal derivative at the boundary. These inequalities give rise to an energy quantization principle for sequences of solutions of boundary value problems that have bounded energy and whose energy densities satisfy nonlinear bounds on the Laplacian and normal...

We consider a class of semilinear elliptic equations of the form$$-{\epsilon }^2\Delta u(x,y)+a\left(x\right)W^{\text{'}}\left(u(x,y)\right)=0,(x,y)\in {ℝ}^2$$where $\epsilon \>0$, $a:ℝ\to ℝ$ is a periodic, positive function and $W:ℝ\to ℝ$ is modeled on the classical two well Ginzburg-Landau potential $W\left(s\right)={(s^2-1)}^2$. We look for solutions to (1) which verify the asymptotic conditions $u(x,y)\to \pm 1$ as $x\to \pm \infty$ uniformly with respect to $y\in ℝ$. We show via variational methods that if $\epsilon$ is sufficiently small and $a$ is not constant, then (1) admits infinitely many of such solutions, distinct up to translations, which do not exhibit one dimensional symmetries.

We consider a class of semilinear elliptic equations of the form 15.7cm -${\epsilon }^2\Delta u(x,y)+a\left(x\right)W^{\text{'}}\left(u(x,y)\right)=0,(x,y)\in {ℝ}^2$ where $\epsilon >0$, $a:ℝ\to ℝ$ is a periodic, positive function and $W:ℝ\to ℝ$ is modeled on the classical two well Ginzburg-Landau potential $W\left(s\right)={(s^2-1)}^2$. We look for solutions to ([see full textsee full text]) which verify the asymptotic conditions $u(x,y)\to \pm 1$ as $x\to \pm \infty$ uniformly with respect to $y\in ℝ$. We show via variational methods that if ε is sufficiently small and a is not constant, then ([see full textsee full text]) admits infinitely many of such solutions, distinct...

We study nonlinear elliptic equations of the form $F\left(D^{2}u\right)=f\left(u\right)$ where the main assumption on $F$ and $f$ is that there exists a one dimensional solution which solves the equation in all the directions $\xi \in {ℝ}^n$. We show that entire monotone solutions $u$ are one dimensional if their $0$ level set is assumed to be Lipschitz, flat or bounded from one side by a hyperplane.

We consider scalar reaction-diffusion equations on bounded and extended domains, both with the autonomous and time-periodic nonlinear term. We discuss the meaning and implications of the ergodic Poincaré-Bendixson theorem to dynamics. In particular, we show that in the extended autonomous case, the space-time topological entropy is zero. Furthermore, we characterize in the extended nonautonomous case the space-time topological and metric entropies as entropies of a pair of commuting planar homeomorphisms....

We study a class of anisotropic nonlinear elliptic equations with variable exponent p⃗(·) growth. We obtain the existence of entropy solutions by using the truncation technique and some a priori estimates.

On étudie la position des pôles de diffusion du problème de Dirichlet pour l’équation des ondes amorties du type ${\partial }_t^2-\Delta +a\left(x\right){\partial }_t$ dans un domaine extérieur. Sous la condition du « contrôle géométrique extérieur », on déduit alors le comportement des solutions en grand temps. On calcule en particulier le meilleur taux de décroissance de l’énergie locale en dimension impaire d’espace.

Soit $\partial \phi$ un sous-différentiel (non coercif) dans un espace de Hilbert.On étudie l’existence de solutions bornées ou périodiques pour l’équation$$\frac{du}{dt}+\partial \phi \left(u\right(t\left)\right)\ni f\left(t\right),t\ge 0.$$Deux solutions périodiques éventuelles diffèrent d’une constante. Si $f$ est périodique et $(\dot{I}+\partial \phi {)}_{-1}$ compact, toute trajectoire bornée est asymptote pour $t\to +\infty$ à une trajectoire périodique.
