We show existence of solutions to two types of generalized anisotropic Cahn-Hilliard problems: In the first case, we assume the mobility to be dependent on the concentration and its gradient, where the system is supplied with dynamic boundary conditions. In the second case, we deal with classical no-flux boundary conditions where the mobility depends on concentration $u$, gradient of concentration $\nabla u$ and the chemical potential $\Delta u-s^{\text{'}}\left(u\right)$. The existence is shown using a newly developed generalization of gradient...

We consider the Poisson equation with the Dirichlet and the Neumann boundary conditions in weighted Sobolev spaces. The weight is a positive power of the distance to a distinguished plane. We prove the existence of solutions in a suitably defined weighted space.

The existence of solutions to the elliptic problem rot v = w, div v = 0 in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝ³, ${v·n̅|}_S=0$, S = ∂Ω in weighted $L_p$-Sobolev spaces is proved. It is assumed that an axis L crosses Ω and the weight is a negative power function of the distance to the axis. The main part of the proof is devoted to examining solutions of the problem in a neighbourhood of L. The existence in Ω follows from the technique of regularization.

This work is devoted to the study of the initial boundary value problem for a general non isothermal model of capillary fluids derived by J. E Dunn and J. Serrin (1985) in [9, 16], which can be used as a phase transition model.We distinguish two cases, when the physical coefficients depend only on the density, and the general case. In the first case we can work in critical scaling spaces, and we prove global existence of solution and uniqueness for data close to a stable equilibrium. For general...

We establish the existence of at least three weak solutions for the (p1,…,pₙ)-biharmonic system ⎧$\Delta \left(\right|\Delta u_i{|}^{p-2}\Delta u_i)=\lambda F_{u_i}(x,u₁,\dots ,uₙ)$ in Ω, ⎨ ⎩$u_i=\Delta u_i=0$ on ∂Ω, for 1 ≤ i ≤ n. The proof is based on a recent three critical points theorem.

We prove the existence of weak solutions for steady flows of electrorheological fluids with homogeneous Navier-slip type boundary conditions provided $p\left(x\right)>2n/(n+2)$. To prove this, we show Poincaré- and Korn-type inequalities, and then construct Lipschitz truncation functions preserving the zero normal component in variable exponent Sobolev spaces.

We prove existence of weak solutions to doubly degenerate diffusion equations $$\dot{u}={\Delta }_p{u}^{m-1}+f(m,p\ge 2)$$ by Faedo-Galerkin approximation for general domains and general nonlinearities. More precisely, we discuss the equation in an abstract setting, which allows to choose function spaces corresponding to bounded or unbounded domains $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n$ with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. The function $f$ can be an inhomogeneity or a nonlinearity involving terms of the form $f\left(u\right)$ or $div\left(F\right(u\left)\right)$. In the appendix, an introduction to weak differentiability...

We consider an evolution equation similar to that introduced by Vese in [Comm. Partial Diff. Eq. 24 (1999) 1573–1591] and whose solution converges in large time to the convex envelope of the initial datum. We give a stochastic control representation for the solution from which we deduce, under quite general assumptions that the convergence in the Lipschitz norm is in fact exponential in time.

We construct a Galerkin finite element method for the numerical approximation of weak solutions to a coupled microscopic-macroscopic bead-spring model that arises from the kinetic theory of dilute solutions of polymeric liquids with noninteracting polymer chains. The model consists of the unsteady incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ ${ℝ}^d$,d= 2 or 3, for the velocity and the pressure of the fluid, with an elastic extra-stress tensor as right-hand side in the momentum equation....

We study the existence and long-time behavior of weak solutions to Newton-Boussinesq equations in two-dimensional domains satisfying the Poincaré inequality. We prove the existence of a unique minimal finite-dimensional pullback $D_{\sigma }$-attractor for the process associated to the problem with respect to a large class of non-autonomous forcing terms.

Let n ≥ 2 and let Ω ⊂ ℝn be an open set. We prove the boundedness of weak solutions to the problem $$u\in W_0^1{L}^{\Phi }\left(\Omega \right)and-div\left({\Phi }^{\text{'}}\left(\left|\nabla u\right|\right)\frac{\nabla u}{\left|\nabla u\right|}\right)+V\left(x\right){\Phi }^{\text{'}}\left(\left|u\right|\right)\frac{u}{\left|u\right|}=f\left(x,u\right)+\mu h\left(x\right)in\Omega ,$$ where ϕ is a Young function such that the space W 01 L Φ(Ω) is embedded into an exponential or multiple exponential Orlicz space, the nonlinearity f(x, t) has the corresponding critical growth, V(x) is a continuous potential, h ∈ L Φ(Ω) is a non-trivial continuous function and µ ≥ 0 is a small parameter. We consider two classical cases: the case of Ω being an open bounded set and the case of Ω =...
