An eigenvalue problem for elliptic systems.
This note deals with the approximation, by a P1 finite element method with numerical integration, of solution curves of a semilinear problem. Because of both mixed boundary conditions and geometrical properties of the domain, some of the solutions do not belong to H2. So, classical results for convergence lead to poor estimates. We show how to improve such estimates with the use of weighted Sobolev spaces together with a mesh “a priori adapted” to the singularity. For the H1 or L2-norms, we...
We give the precise behaviour of some solutions of a nonlinear elliptic B.V.P. in a bounded domain when a parameter approaches an eigenvalue of the principal part. If the nonlinearity has some regularity and the domain is for example convex, we also prove a nonlinear version of Courant’s Nodal theorem.

In this paper we consider the -Laplacian problem with Dirichlet boundary condition, The term is a real odd and increasing homeomorphism, is a nonnegative function in and is a bounded domain. In these notes an analysis of the asymptotic behavior of sequences of eigenvalues of the differential equation is provided. We assume conditions which guarantee the existence of stationary solutions of the system. Under these rather stringent hypotheses we prove that any extremal is both a minimizer...
In the recent years, many results have been established on positive solutions for boundary value problems of the form in Ω, u(x)=0 on ∂Ω, where λ > 0, Ω is a bounded smooth domain and f(s) ≥ 0 for s ≥ 0. In this paper, a priori estimates of positive radial solutions are presented when N > p > 1, Ω is an N-ball or an annulus and f ∈ C¹(0,∞) ∪ C⁰([0,∞)) with f(0) < 0 (non-positone).
We investigate the behaviour of a sequence , s = 1,2,..., of eigenvalues of the Dirichlet problem for the p-Laplacian in the domains , s = 1,2,..., obtained by removing from a given domain Ω a set whose diameter vanishes when s → ∞. We estimate the deviation of from the eigenvalue of the limit problem. For the derivation of our results we construct an appropriate asymptotic expansion for the sequence of solutions of the original eigenvalue problem.
This paper is devoted to local static bifurcation theory for a class of degenerate boundary value problems for nonlinear second-order elliptic differential operators. The purpose of this paper is twofold. The first purpose is to prove that the first eigenvalue of the linearized boundary value problem is simple and its associated eigenfunction is positive. The second purpose is to discuss the changes that occur in the structure of the solutions as a parameter varies near the first eigenvalue of the...
We prove existence and bifurcation results for a semilinear eigenvalue problem in , where the linearization — has no eigenvalues. In particular, we show...
This paper was inspired by the works of P. H. Rabinowitz. We study nonlinear eigenvalue problems for some fourth order elliptic partial differential equations with nonlinear perturbation of Rabinowitz type. We show the existence of an unbounded continuum of nontrivial positive solutions bifurcating from (μ₁,0), where μ₁ is the first eigenvalue of the linearization about 0 of the considered problem. We also prove the related theorem for bifurcation from infinity. The results obtained are similar...
