The existence of decaying positive solutions in ${ℝ}_{+}$ of the equations $\left(E_{\lambda }\right)$ and $\left(E_{\lambda }^1\right)$ displayed below is considered. From the existence of such solutions for the subhomogeneous cases (i.e. $t^{1-p}F(r,tU,t|U^{\text{'}}\left|\right)\searrow 0$ as $t\nearrow \infty$), a super-sub-solutions method (see § 2.2) enables us to obtain existence theorems for more general cases.

The paper addresses the existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions for the degenerate triply nonlinear problem: b(v)t − div α(v, ▽g(v)) = f on Q:= (0, T) × Ω with the initial condition b(v(0, ·)) = b(v 0) on Ω and the nonhomogeneous boundary condition “v = u” on some part of the boundary (0, T) × ∂Ω”. The function g is continuous locally Lipschitz continuous and has a flat region [A 1, A 2,] with A 1 ≤ 0 ≤ A 2 so that the problem is of parabolic-hyperbolic type.

This paper addresses analytical investigations of degenerating PDE systems for phase separation and damage processes considered on nonsmooth time-dependent domains with mixed boundary conditions for the displacement field. The evolution of the system is described by a degenerating Cahn-Hilliard equation for the concentration, a doubly nonlinear differential inclusion for the damage variable and a quasi-static balance equation for the displacement field. The analysis is performed on a time-dependent...

We construct a degree theory for Vanishing Mean Oscillation functions in metric spaces, following some ideas of Brezis & Nirenberg. The underlying sets of our metric spaces are bounded open subsets of ${ℝ}^N$ and their boundaries. Then, we apply our results in order to analyze the surjectivity properties of the $L$-harmonic extensions of VMO vector-valued functions. The operators $L$ we are dealing with are second order linear differential operators sum of squares of vector fields satisfying the hypoellipticity...

The realization of an elliptic operator A under suitable boundary conditions is considered and the dependence of the square-root of A from the various conditions is studied.

On présente ici une approche directe et géométrique pour le calcul des déterminants d’opérateurs de type Schrödinger sur un graphe fini. Du calcul de l’intégrale de Fresnel associée, on déduit le déterminant. Le calcul des intégrales de Fresnel est grandement facilité par l’utilisation simultanée du théorème de Fubini et d’une version linéaire du calcul symbolique des opérateurs intégraux de Fourier. On obtient de façon directe une formule générale exprimant le déterminant en terme des conditions...

For a bounded and sufficiently smooth domain $\mathrm{\Omega }$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$, $N\ge 2$, let ${\left({\lambda }_k\right)}_{k=1}^{\mathrm{\infty }}$ and ${\left({\phi }_k\right)}_{k=1}^{\mathrm{\infty }}$ be respectively the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions of the problem (with Neumann boundary conditions) $$-\text{div}\left(a\left(x\right)\nabla {\phi }_k\right)+q\left(x\right){\phi }_k={\lambda }_k\varrho \left(x\right){\phi }_k\text{ in }\mathrm{\Omega },a\frac{\partial }{\partial \mathbf{n}}{\phi }_k=0\text{ su }\partial \mathrm{\Omega }.$$ We prove that knowledge of the Dirichlet boundary spectral data ${\left({\lambda }_k\right)}_{k=1}^{\mathrm{\infty }}$, ${\left({\phi }_{k|\partial \mathrm{\Omega }}\right)}_{k=1}^{\mathrm{\infty }}$ determines uniquely the Neumann-to-Dirichlet (or the Steklov- Poincaré) map $\gamma$ for a related elliptic problem. Under suitable hypothesis on the coefficients $a,q,\varrho$ their identifiability is then proved. We prove also analogous results for Dirichlet...
