On a phase-field model with a logarithmic nonlinearity

Alain Miranville (2012)

Applications of Mathematics

Our aim in this paper is to study the existence of solutions to a phase-field system based on the Maxwell-Cattaneo heat conduction law, with a logarithmic nonlinearity. In particular, we prove, in one and two space dimensions, the existence of a solution which is separated from the singularities of the nonlinear term.

On a probabilistic interpretation of shape derivatives of Dirichlet groundstates with application to Fermion nodes

Mathias Rousset (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper considers Schrödinger operators, and presents a probabilistic interpretation of the variation (or shape derivative) of the Dirichlet groundstate energy when the associated domain is perturbed. This interpretation relies on the distribution on the boundary of a stopped random process with Feynman-Kac weights. Practical computations require in addition the explicit approximation of the normal derivative of the groundstate on the boundary. We then propose to use this formulation in the...

On a semilinear elliptic eigenvalue problem

Mario Michele Coclite (1997)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We obtain a description of the spectrum and estimates for generalized positive solutions of -Δu = λ(f(x) + h(u)) in Ω, u | Ω = 0 , where f(x) and h(u) satisfy minimal regularity assumptions.

On a semilinear elliptic equation in n

Gianni Mancini, Kunnath Sandeep (2008)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We prove existence/nonexistence and uniqueness of positive entire solutions for some semilinear elliptic equations on the Hyperbolic space.

On a semilinear variational problem

Bernd Schmidt (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We provide a detailed analysis of the minimizers of the functional u n | u | 2 + D n | u | γ , γ ( 0 , 2 ) , subject to the constraint u L 2 = 1 . This problem,e.g., describes the long-time behavior of the parabolic Anderson in probability theory or ground state solutions of a nonlinear Schrödinger equation. While existence can be proved with standard methods, we show that the usual uniqueness results obtained with PDE-methods can be considerably simplified by additional variational arguments. In addition, we investigate qualitative properties...
