RELATIONS BETWEEN PACKING PREMEASURE AND MEASURE ON METRIC SPACE

Let X be a metric space andμa finite Borel measure on X. Let pμq,t and pμq,t be the packing premeasure and the packing measure on X, respectively, defined by the gauge (μB(x,r))q(2r)t, where q, t∈R. For any compact set E of finite packing premeasure the authors prove: (1) if q≤0 then pμq,t(E)=pμq,t(E);(2)if q>0 andμis doubling on E then pμq,t(E) and pμq,t(E) are both zero or neither.     

Blow-up analysis for a system of heat equations with nonlinear flux which obey different laws

We consider a system of heat equations u_t=Δu and v_t=Δv in Ω×(0,T) completely coupled by nonlinear boundary conditions

We prove that the solutions always blow up in finite time for non-zero and non-negative initial values. Also, the blow-up only occurs on ∂Ω with

Positive solutions of singular p-Laplacian dynamic equations with sign changing nonlinearity

Let be a time scale such that . By the Schauder fixed-point theorem and the upper and lower solution method, we present some existence criteria of the positive solution of m-point singular p-Laplacian dynamic equation with boundary conditions , where φ_p(s)=|s|^p-2s with p>1, is continuous for i=1,2,…,m-1 and nonincreasing if . The nonlinear term may be singular in its dependent variable and is allowed to change sign. Our results are new even for the corresponding differential and difference equations . As an application, an example is given to illustrate our result.     

Partial regularity for solutions of a nonlinear elliptic equation with singular nonlinearity

We consider the following nonlinear elliptic equation with singular nonlinearity:

Monotone Jacobi parameters and non-Szegő weights

We relate asymptotics of Jacobi parameters to asymptotics of the spectral weights near the edges. Typical of our results is that for a_n≡1, b_n=−Cn^−β (), one has on (−2,2), and near x=2, where
