Resolvents of elliptic cone operators

We prove the existence of sectors of minimal growth for general closed extensions of elliptic cone operators under natural ellipticity conditions. This is achieved by the construction of a suitable parametrix and reduction to the boundary. Special attention is devoted to the clarification of the analytic structure of the resolvent.     

Global Solvability of Dirichlet Problem for Fully Nonlinear Elliptic Systems

We show existence theorems of global strong solutions of Dirichlet problem for second-order fully nonlinear systems that satisfy the Campanato's condition of ellipticity. We use the Campanato's near operators theory.     

Bifurcation from trivial solution for elliptic systems with nonlinear boundary conditions

In this paper, we investigate semilinear elliptic systems having a parameter with nonlinear Neumann boundary conditions over a smooth bounded domain. The objective of our study is to analyse bifurcation component of positive solutions from trivial solution and their stability. The results are obtained via classical bifurcation theorem from a simple eigenvalue, by studying the eigenvalue problem of elliptic systems.     

Existence and multiplicity results for quasilinear elliptic differential systems

We use a nonsmooth critical point theory to prove existence results for a variational system of quasilinear elliptic equations in both the sublinear and superlinear cases. We extend a technique of Bartsch to obtain multiplicity results when the system is invariant under the action of a compact Lie group. The problem is rather different from its scalar version, because a suitable condition on the coefficients of the system seems to be necessary in order to prove the convergence of the Palais-Smale sequences. Such condition is in some sense a restriction to the "distance" between the quasilinear operator and a semilinear one.     

On the Abel Basis Property of the System of Root Vector-Functions of Degenerate Elliptic Differential Operators with Singular Matrix Coefficients

We establish completeness and summability in the Abel-Lidskii sense for the system of root vector-functions of nonselfadjoint elliptic matrix operators A generated by noncoercive forms with the Dirichlet-type boundary conditions. An operator A + βE is positive for a sufficiently large β > 0 but not strongly positive in general. We obtain estimates for the eigenvalues and resolvent of A. Also, we study the resolvent of the extension $A$ of A to the corresponding negative space.     

Existence and uniqueness of solutions for quasilinear elliptic systems

Overdetermined Elliptic Systems

We consider linear overdetermined systems of partial differential equations. We show that the introduction of weights classically used for the definition of ellipticity is not necessary, as any system that is elliptic with respect to some weights becomes elliptic without weights during its completion to involution. Furthermore, it turns out that there are systems which are not elliptic for any choice of weights but whose involutive form is nevertheless elliptic. We also show that reducing the given system to lower order or to an equivalent system with only one unknown function preserves ellipticity.

The mixed problem for degenerate elliptic equations of second order

The present paper deals with the mixed boundary value problem for elliptic equations with degenerate rank 0. We first give the formulation of the problem and estimates of solutions of the problem, and then prove the existence of solutions of the above problem for elliptic equations by the above estimates and the method of parameter extension. We use the complex method, namely first discuss the corresponding problem for degenerate elliptic complex equations of first order, afterwards discuss the above problem for degenerate elliptic equations of second order.     

On the resolvent arising in a parameter‐elliptic multi‐order boundary problem

In this paper we consider a boundary problem for a parameter‐elliptic, multi‐order system of differential equations defined over a bounded region in $\mathbb {R}^n$ and under limited smoothness assumptions as well as under boundary conditions which include those of Dirichlet. Information is then derived concerning the asymptotic behaviour of the trace of a power of the resolvent of the Hilbert space operator, in general non‐selfadjoint, induced by the boundary problem under null boundary conditions. This information will then be used in a subsequent work to derive various results pertaining to the asymptotic behaviour of the eigenvalues of this operator.     

On the eigenvalue set structure for higher-order equations of elliptic type with discontinuous nonlinearities

We study the existence of nonzero solutions of the Dirichlet problem for a higherorder equation of elliptic type with a discontinuous nonlinearity. By the variational method, we prove the existence of a ray of positive eigenvalues and prove an upper bound for the bifurcation parameter in the problem.

Approximate Solution of Singular Optimization Problems

We study the optimal control problem for systems described by nonlinear elliptic equations. We have no information about the existence and uniqueness of the solution for some particular control. The extremum problem may be unsolvable. We regularize the problem by using a combination of the penalty method and the Tikhonov method. For the regularized problem, we prove the existence of the solution and find necessary conditions for optimality in the form of variational inequalities. We show that the regularization method used in this paper allows one to find an approximate (in some sense) solution of the original problem.     

EXISTENCE OF TWO POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO SINGULAR ELLIPTIC SYSTEMS WITH WEIGHTS

The method of upper and lower solutions for diffraction problems of quasilinear elliptic reaction-diffusion systems

The aim of this paper is to show the existence of solutions of the n-dimensional diffraction problem for weakly coupled quasilinear elliptic reaction-diffusion system. The coefficients of the equations under consideration are allowed to be discontinuous. We extend the method of upper and lower solutions for reaction-diffusion equations with continuous coefficients to the elliptic diffraction problem. An application of these results is given to the steady-state problem of Lotka-Volterra cooperation model with two cooperating species.     

Resolvent estimates in W−1,p related to strongly coupled‐linear parabolic systems with coupled nonsmooth capacities

We investigate linear parabolic systems with coupled nonsmooth capacities and mixed boundary conditions. We prove generalized resolvent estimates in W^{?1, p} spaces. The method is an appropriate modification of a technique introduced by Agmon to obtain L^p estimates for resolvents of elliptic differential operators in the case of smooth boundary conditions. Moreover, we establish an existence and uniqueness result. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Elliptic boundary-value problems in nonsmooth domains

In a bounded domain, we study elliptic boundary-value problems for equations and systems of the Douglis-Nirenberg structure in complete scales of Banach spaces. The boundary of the domain contains conic points, edges, etc. A theorem on local increase in the smoothness of generalized solutions and a theorem on complete collection of isomorphisms are proved. Applications are considered. It is shown that the results obtained are also valid for transmission problems, nonlocal elliptic problems, elliptic problems with a parameter, and parabolic problems.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 47, No. 5, pp. 701–709, May, 1995.This research was partially supported by a grant of the American Mathematical Society and by the Ukrainian State Committee on Science and Technology.

Noncoercive boundary value problems for the Laplace equation with a spectral parameter

In this paper we find conditions that guarantee that irregular boundary value problems for elliptic differential-operator equations of the second order in an interval are coercive with a defect and fredholm; compactness of a resolvent and estimations by spectral parameter; completeness of root functions. We apply this result to find some algebraic conditions that guarantee that irregular boundary value problems for elliptic partial differential equations of the second order in cylindrical domains have the same properties. Apparently this is the first paper where the regularity of an elliptic boundary value problem is not satisfied on a manifold of the dimension equal to the dimension of the boundary. Nevertheless, the problem is fredholm and the resolvent is compact. It is interesting to note that the considered boundary value problems for elliptic equations in a cylinder being with separating variables are noncoercive.
