Mixed Finite Elements for Second Order Elliptic Problems in Three Variables.
A multiplicative structure in the cohomological version of Conley index is described following a joint paper by the author with K. Gęba and W. Uss. In the case of equivariant flows we apply a normalization procedure known from equivariant degree theory and we propose a new continuation invariant. The theory is applied then to obtain a mountain pass type theorem. Another illustrative application is a result on multiple bifurcations for some elliptic PDE.
We prove the existence of solutions to , together with appropriate boundary conditions, whenever is a maximal monotone graph in , for every fixed . We propose an adequate setting for this problem, in particular as far as measurability is concerned. It consists in looking at the graph after a rotation, for every fixed ; in other words, the graph is defined through , where is a Carathéodory contraction in . This definition is shown to be equivalent to the fact that is pointwise monotone...
We study the multiplicity of solutions for a class of p(x)-Laplacian equations involving the critical exponent. Under suitable assumptions, we obtain a sequence of radially symmetric solutions associated with a sequence of positive energies going toward infinity.
