Trudinger–Moser inequality on the whole plane with the exact growth condition

Slim Ibrahim, Nader Masmoudi, Kenji Nakanishi (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Trudinger-Moser inequality is a substitute to the (forbidden) critical Sobolev embedding, namely the case where the scaling corresponds to L . It is well known that the original form of the inequality with the sharp exponent (proved by Moser) fails on the whole plane, but a few modied versions are available. We prove a precised version of the latter, giving necessary and sufficient conditions for the boundedness, as well as for the compactness, in terms of the growth and decay of the nonlinear function....

Two constant sign solutions for a nonhomogeneous Neumann boundary value problem

Liliana Klimczak (2015)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis. Studia Mathematica

We consider a nonlinear Neumann problem with a nonhomogeneous elliptic differential operator. With some natural conditions for its structure and some general assumptions on the growth of the reaction term we prove that the problem has two nontrivial solutions of constant sign. In the proof we use variational methods with truncation and minimization techniques.

Two notions which affected nonlinear analysis (Bernard Bolzano lecture)

Pavel Drábek (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

General mathematical theories usually originate from the investigation of particular problems and notions which could not be handled by available tools and methods. The Fučík spectrum and the p -Laplacian are typical examples in the field of nonlinear analysis. The systematic study of these notions during the last four decades led to several interesting and surprising results and revealed deep relationship between the linear and the nonlinear structures. This paper does not provide a complete survey....

Two Numerical Methods for the elliptic Monge-Ampère equation

Jean-David Benamou, Brittany D. Froese, Adam M. Oberman (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The numerical solution of the elliptic Monge-Ampère Partial Differential Equation has been a subject of increasing interest recently [Glowinski, in 6th International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics, ICIAM 07, Invited Lectures (2009) 155–192; Oliker and Prussner, Numer.

Two solutions for a nonlinear Dirichlet problem with positive forcing

J. Matos, Luis Sanchez (1996)

Mathematica Bohemica

Given a semilinear elliptic boundary value problem having the zero solution and where the nonlinearity crosses the first eigenvalue, we perturb it by a positive forcing term; we show the existence of two solutions under certain conditions that can be weakened in the onedimensional case.

Two-dimensional curvature functionals with superquadratic growth

Ernst Kuwert, Tobias Lamm, Yuxiang Li (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

For two-dimensional, immersed closed surfaces f : Σ n , we study the curvature functionals p ( f ) and 𝒲 p ( f ) with integrands ( 1 + | A | 2 ) p / 2 and ( 1 + | H | 2 ) p / 2 , respectively. Here A is the second fundamental form, H is the mean curvature and we assume p > 2 . Our main result asserts that W 2 , p critical points are smooth in both cases. We also prove a compactness theorem for 𝒲 p -bounded sequences. In the case of p this is just Langer’s theorem [16], while for 𝒲 p we have to impose a bound for the Willmore energy strictly below 8 π as an additional condition....

Two-scale div-curl lemma

Augusto Visintin (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

The div-curl lemma, one of the basic results of the theory of compensated compactness of Murat and Tartar, does not take over to the case in which the two factors two-scale converge in the sense of Nguetseng. A suitable modification of the differential operators however allows for this extension. The argument follows the lines of a well-known paper of F. Murat of 1978, and uses a two-scale extension of the Fourier transform. This result is also extended to time-dependent functions, and is applied...

Two-sided a posteriori error estimates for linear elliptic problems with mixed boundary conditions

Sergey Korotov (2007)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper is devoted to verification of accuracy of approximate solutions obtained in computer simulations. This problem is strongly related to a posteriori error estimates, giving computable bounds for computational errors and detecting zones in the solution domain where such errors are too large and certain mesh refinements should be performed. A mathematical model consisting of a linear elliptic (reaction-diffusion) equation with a mixed Dirichlet/Neumann/Robin boundary condition is considered...

Two-sided bounds of eigenvalues of second- and fourth-order elliptic operators

Andrey Andreev, Milena Racheva (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

This article presents an idea in the finite element methods (FEMs) for obtaining two-sided bounds of exact eigenvalues. This approach is based on the combination of nonconforming methods giving lower bounds of the eigenvalues and a postprocessing technique using conforming finite elements. Our results hold for the second and fourth-order problems defined on two-dimensional domains. First, we list analytic and experimental results concerning triangular and rectangular nonconforming elements which...
