Multiplicity and asymptotic behavior of solutions for quasilinear elliptic equations with small perturbations

This paper considers the following general form of quasilinear elliptic equation with a small perturbation:$\{\begin{array}{c}?{\sum }_{i,j=1}^N{D}_j(a_{ij}(x,u)D_{i}u)+\frac{1}{2}{\sum }_{i,j=1}^N{D}_t{a}_{ij}(x,u)D_{i}u{D}_{j}u\hfill \\ =f(x,u)+\epsilon g(x,u),x\in \mathrm{\Omega },u\in H_0^1(\mathrm{\Omega }),\hfill \end{array}$ where $\mathrm{\Omega }?{\mathbb{R}}^N(N\ge 3)$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary and $|\epsilon |$ small enough. We assume the main term in the equation to have a mountain pass structure but do not suppose any conditions for the perturbation term $\epsilon g(x,u)$. Then we prove the equation possesses a positive solution, a negative solution and a sign-changing solution. Moreover, we are able to obtain the asymptotic behavior of these solutions as $\epsilon \to 0$.     

Stability of attractors for the Kirchhoff wave equation with strong damping and critical nonlinearities

The paper investigates longtime dynamics of the Kirchhoff wave equation with strong damping and critical nonlinearities: $u_{tt}?(1+?{\Vert \mathrm{?}u\Vert }^2)\mathrm{\Delta }u?\mathrm{\Delta }{u}_t+h(u_t)+g(u)=f(x)$, with $?\in [0,1]$. The well-posedness and the existence of global and exponential attractors are established, and the stability of the attractors on the perturbation parameter ? is proved for the IBVP of the equation provided that both nonlinearities $h(s)$ and $g(s)$ are of critical growth.     

Existence and multiplicity of positive radial solutions for singular superlinear elliptic systems in the exterior of a ball

We prove the existence and multiplicity of positive radial solutions to the nonlinear system

$\{\begin{array}{c}\hfill ?\mathrm{\Delta }{u}_i=\lambda K_i(|x|)f_i(u_j)\text{ in }\mathrm{\Omega },\hfill \\ \hfill d_i\frac{?u_i}{?n}+{\stackrel{?}{c}}_i(u_i)u_i=0\text{ on }|x|=r_0,\hfill \\ \hfill u_i(x)\to 0\text{ as }|x|\to \infty ,\hfill \end{array}$

for a certain range of $\lambda >0$, where $i,j\in \{1,2\},i\ne j$, $\mathrm{\Omega }=\{x\in {\mathbb{R}}^N:|x|>r_0>0\}$, $N>2,d_i\ge 0$, $K_i:[r_0,\infty )\to (0,\infty )$, $\stackrel{?}{c}:[0,\infty )\to [0,\infty ),f_i:(0,\infty )\to \mathbb{R}$ are continuous with possible singularity ±∞ at 0 and satisfy a combined superlinear condition at ∞.     

On the chromatic number of some P5-free graphs

Let G be a graph. We say that G is perfectly divisible if for each induced subgraph H of G, $V(H)$ can be partitioned into A and B such that $H[A]$ is perfect and $\omega (H[B])<\omega (H)$. We use $P_t$ and $C_t$ to denote a path and a cycle on t vertices, respectively. For two disjoint graphs $F_1$ and $F_2$, we use $F_1\cup F_2$ to denote the graph with vertex set $V(F_1)\cup V(F_2)$ and edge set $E(F_1)\cup E(F_2)$, and use $F_1+F_2$ to denote the graph with vertex set $V(F_1)\cup V(F_2)$ and edge set $E(F_1)\cup E(F_2)\cup \{xy|x\in V(F_1)\text{ and }y\in V(F_2)\}$. In this paper, we prove that (i) $(P_5,C_5,K_{2,3})$-free graphs are perfectly divisible, (ii) $\chi (G)\le 2{\omega }^2(G)?\omega (G)?3$ if G is $(P_5,K_{2,3})$-free with $\omega (G)\ge 2$, (iii) $\chi (G)\le \frac{3}{2}({\omega }^2(G)?\omega (G))$ if G is $(P_5,K_1+2K_2)$-free, and (iv) $\chi (G)\le 3\omega (G)+11$ if G is $(P_5,K_1+(K_1\cup K_3))$-free.
