On a Class of Elliptic Equations for the N-Laplacian in R^n with One-Sided Exponential Growth

Candela, Anna Maria, Squassina, Marco (2003)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35J40, 49J52, 49J40, 46E30By means of a suitable nonsmooth critical point theory for lower semicontinuous functionals we prove the existence of infinitely many solutions for a class of quasilinear Dirichlet problems with symmetric non-linearities having a one-sided growth condition of exponential type.The research of the authors was partially supported by the MIUR project “Variational and topological methods in the study of nonlinear phenomena” (COFIN 2001)....

On a contact problem for a viscoelastic von Kármán plate and its semidiscretization

Igor Bock, Ján Lovíšek (2005)

Applications of Mathematics

We deal with the system describing moderately large deflections of thin viscoelastic plates with an inner obstacle. In the case of a long memory the system consists of an integro-differential 4th order variational inequality for the deflection and an equation with a biharmonic left-hand side and an integro-differential right-hand side for the Airy stress function. The existence of a solution in a special case of the Dirichlet-Prony series is verified by transforming the problem into a sequence of...

On a regularization method for variational inequalities with P_0 mappings

Igor Konnov, Elena Mazurkevich, Mohamed Ali (2005)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We consider partial Browder-Tikhonov regularization techniques for variational inequality problems with P_0 cost mappings and box-constrained feasible sets. We present classes of economic equilibrium problems which satisfy such assumptions and propose a regularization method for these problems.

On a type of Signorini problem without friction in linear thermoelasticity

Jiří Nedoma (1983)

Aplikace matematiky

In the paper the Signorini problem without friction in the linear thermoelasticity for the steady-state case is investigated. The problem discussed is the model geodynamical problem, physical analysis of which is based on the plate tectonic hypothesis and the theory of thermoelasticity. The existence and unicity of the solution of the Signorini problem without friction for the steady-state case in the linear thermoelasticity as well as its finite element approximation is proved. It is known that...

On a variant of Korn’s inequality arising in statistical mechanics

L. Desvillettes, Cédric Villani (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We state and prove a Korn-like inequality for a vector field in a bounded open set of N , satisfying a tangency boundary condition. This inequality, which is crucial in our study of the trend towards equilibrium for dilute gases, holds true if and only if the domain is not axisymmetric. We give quantitative, explicit estimates on how the departure from axisymmetry affects the constants; a Monge–Kantorovich minimization problem naturally arises in this process. Variants in the axisymmetric case are...

On coupled thermoelastic vibration of geometrically nonlinear thin plates satisfying generalized mechanical and thermal conditions on the boundary and on the surface

Hans-Ullrich Wenk (1982)

Aplikace matematiky

The vibration problem in two variables is derived from the spatial situation (a plate as a three-dimensional body) on the basis of geometrically nonlinear plate theory (using Kármán's hypothesis) and coupled linear thermoelasticity. That leads to coupled strongly nonlinear two-dimensional equilibrium and heat conducting equations (under classical mechanical and thermal boundary conditions). For the generalized problem with subgradient conditions on the boundary and in the domain (including also...

On evolution inequalities of a modified Navier-Stokes type. I

Manfred Müller, Joachim Naumann (1978)

Aplikace matematiky

The paper present an existence theorem for a strong solution to an abstract evolution inequality where the properties of the operators involved are motivated by a type of modified Navier-Stokes equations under certain unilateral boundary conditions. The method of proof rests upon a Galerkin type argument combined with the regularization of the functional.
