Existence of a nontrival solution for Dirichlet problem involving p(x)-Laplacian

Sylwia Barnaś (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper we study the nonlinear Dirichlet problem involving p(x)-Laplacian (hemivariational inequality) with nonsmooth potential. By using nonsmooth critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functionals due to Chang [6] and the properties of variational Sobolev spaces, we establish conditions which ensure the existence of solution for our problem.

Existence of permanent and breaking waves for a shallow water equation : a geometric approach

Adrian Constantin (2000)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

The existence of global solutions and the phenomenon of blow-up of a solution in finite time for a recently derived shallow water equation are studied. We prove that the only way a classical solution could blow-up is as a breaking wave for which we determine the exact blow-up rate and, in some cases, the blow-up set. Using the correspondence between the shallow water equation and the geodesic flow on the manifold of diffeomorphisms of the line endowed with a weak Riemannian structure, we give sufficient...
