Editorials' note
In this paper, we extend the reduced-basis approximations developed earlier for linear elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations with affine parameter dependence to problems involving (a) nonaffine dependence on the parameter, and (b) nonlinear dependence on the field variable. The method replaces the nonaffine and nonlinear terms with a coefficient function approximation which then permits an efficient offline-online computational decomposition. We first review the coefficient function...
We consider a strongly nonlinear monotone elliptic problem in generalized Orlicz-Musielak spaces. We assume neither a Δ2 nor ∇2-condition for an inhomogeneous and anisotropic N-function but assume it to be log-Hölder continuous with respect to x. We show the existence of weak solutions to the zero Dirichlet boundary value problem. Within the proof the L ∞-truncation method is coupled with a special version of the Minty-Browder trick for non-reflexive and non-separable Banach spaces.
We consider the Yamabe type family of problems , in , on , where is an annulus-shaped domain of , , which becomes thinner as . We show that for every solution , the energy as well as the Morse index tend to infinity as . This is proved through a fine blow up analysis of appropriate scalings of solutions whose limiting profiles are regular, as well as of singular solutions of some elliptic problem on , a half-space or an infinite strip. Our argument also involves a Liouville type theorem...
