Boundary functions on a bounded balanced domain

We solve the following Dirichlet problem on the bounded balanced domain with some additional properties: For p > 0 and a positive lower semi-continuous function u on ∂Ω with u(z) = u(λ z) for |λ| = 1, z ∈ ∂Ω we construct a holomorphic function f ∈ (Ω) such that for z ∈ ∂Ω, where = {λ ∈ ℂ: |λ| < 1}.      

Construction of Rank 2 Semistable Torsion Free Sheaves Which Are Not Limit of Vector Bundles

We show the following theorem of compensated compactness type: Ifu _n ⇁u weakly in the spaceH ^1,p (Ω, ℝ ^k ) and if also in the sense of distributions then ∂_α(∣∇u∣ ^p-2∂_α u)=0. This result has applications in the partial regularity theory ofp-stationary mappings Ω→S ^k −1.

Regularity of the Extremal Solution of Some Nonlinear Elliptic Problems Involving the <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Laplacian

We consider the equation on a smooth bounded domain of with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions where p ≥ 2, λ > 0 and f satisfies typical assumptions in the subject of extremal solutions. We prove that, for such general nonlinearities f, the extremal solution u ^* belongs to L ^∞(Ω) if N < p + p/(p − 1) and if N < p(1 + p/(p − 1)).

Large solutions for equations involving the p-Laplacian and singular weights

In this paper we consider the boundary blow-up problem Δ_pu = a(x)u^q in a smooth bounded domain Ω of , with u = +∞ on ∂Ω. Here is the well-known p-Laplacian operator with p > 1, q > p − 1, and a(x) is a nonnegative weight function which can be singular on ∂Ω. Our results include existence, uniqueness and exact boundary behavior of positive solutions.      

Problem with Critical Sobolev Exponent and with Weight

The authors consider the problem: -div(p▽u) = uq-1 λu, u > 0 inΩ, u = 0 on (?)Ω, whereΩis a bounded domain in Rn, n≥3, p :Ω→R is a given positive weight such that p∈H1 (Ω)∩C(Ω),λis a real constant and q = 2n/n-2, and study the effect of the behavior of p near its minima and the impact of the geometry of domain on the existence of solutions for the above problem.     

On a class of nonlinear problems involving a p(x)-Laplace type operator

We study the boundary value problem in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a smooth bounded domain in ℝ ^N . Our attention is focused on two cases when , where m(x) = max{p ₁(x), p ₂(x)} for any x ∈ or m(x) < q(x) < N · m(x)/(N − m(x)) for any x ∈ . In the former case we show the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for any λ > 0. In the latter we prove that if λ is large enough then there exists a nontrivial weak solution. Our approach relies on the variable exponent theory of generalized Lebesgue-Sobolev spaces, combined with a ℤ₂-symmetric version for even functionals of the Mountain Pass Theorem and some adequate variational methods.

A Robin boundary problem with Hardy potential and critical nonlinearities

Let Ω be a bounded domain with a smooth C ² boundary in ℝⁿ (n ≥ 3), 0 ∈ , and υ denote the unit outward normal to ∂Ω. In this paper, we are concerned with the following class of boundary value problems:

Weighted Hardy inequalities and the size of the boundary

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a domain to admit the (p, β)-Hardy inequality , where d(x) = dist(x, ∂Ω) and . Our necessary conditions show that a certain dichotomy holds, even locally, for the dimension of the complement Ω ^c when Ω admits a Hardy inequality, whereas our sufficient conditions can be applied in numerous situations where at least a part of the boundary ∂Ω is “thin”, contrary to previously known conditions where ∂Ω or Ω ^c was always assumed to be “thick” in a uniform way. There is also a nice interplay between these different conditions that we try to point out by giving various examples. The author was supported in part by the Academy of Finland.     

A generalization of the Gagliardo inequality

Consider functions u₁, u₂,..., u_n ∈ D(ℝ^k) and assume that we are given a certain set of linear combinations of the form ∑_{i, j} a _ij ^(l) ∂_ju_i. Sufficient conditions in terms of coefficients a _ij ^(l) are indicated under which the norms are controlled in terms of the L¹-norms of these linear combinations. These conditions are mostly transparent if k = 2. The classical Gagliardo inequality corresponds to a single function u₁ = u and the collection of its partial derivatives ∂₁u,..., ∂_ku.
