Nonhomogeneous dirichlet problem for elliptic operators with axially discontinuous coefficients

Si studia, in un cilindro, il problema di Dirichlet per l'equazione ellittica del II ordine: $\text{L}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}\text{u = ?}$, dove $\text{L}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}\text{=}\text{αΔ + (1 ? 3α)∑}{}_{\mathrm{ij\; =\; 1}}{}^2\text{x}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{x}{}_{\mathrm{j}}\text{(x}{}_1{}^2\text{+ x}{}_2{}^2\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{?}{}^2\text{?x}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{?x}{}_{\mathrm{j}}\text{, α ? (0,}\text{1}\text{3}\text{]}$è l'operatore a coefficienti discontinui sull'asse x₃ già introdotto da N. Ural'tseva per mostrare che l'equazione considerata può non avere soluzione nello spazio di Sobolev W^2,p(p > 2) per qualche f?L^p. In questo lavoro si danno limitazioni a priori e teoremi di esistenza e unicità in W^2,p quando p varia in un intervallo (p₁(α), p₂(α)), dipendente dalla costante di ellitticità α. Se p = p₂(α) le limitazioni a priori cadono: l'esempio è quello di Ural'tseva.     

Uniqueness in the dirichlet problem for some elliptic operators with discontinuous coefficients

Uniqueness is proved for the Dirichlet problem for second order nondivergence form elliptic operators with coefficients continuous except at a countable set of points having at most one accumulation point. Moreover, gradient estimates are proved.The authors are partially supported by the National Science Foundation Grant no. NSF/DMS 8421377-04.     

Weighted sobolev spaces and the nonlinear dirichlet problem in unbounded domains

Sunto Si dimostrano proprietà di continuità e di compattezza per una classe di operatori differenziali non lineari. In virtù di tali proprietà ed usando metodi di monotonia, si provano teoremi di esistenza di soluzioni per alcuni problemi al contorno non lineari in domini non limitati.

On the dirichlet problem for an improperly elliptic equation

We consider the problem of solvability of an inhomogeneous Dirichlet problem for a scalar improperly elliptic differential equation with complex coefficients in a bounded domain. A model case where the unit disk is chosen as the domain and the equation does not contain lower terms is studied. We prove that the classes of Dirichlet data for which the problem has a unique solution in the Sobolev space are spaces of functions with exponentially decreasing Fourier coefficients.     

γ-Convergence of integral functionals and the variational dirichlet problem in variable domains

By using special local characteristics of domains Ω _s ⊂Ω,s=12,..., we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the γ-convergence of sequences of integral functionalsI _λs :W ^k,m (Ω _s )→ℝ, λ⊂Ω to interal functionals defined on W ^k,m (Ω).

On the dirichlet problem for fully nonlinear parabolic equations

The paper describes a new class of fully nonlinear second-order parabolic equations. The peculiarity of this class in the nonlinear dependence of the equations both on the first-order time derivative and second-order spatial ones. Application of the classical continuity method to solve the first initial-boundary value problem for such equations is also discussed. Bibliography: 15 titles.

On the exterior dirichlet problem for linear elliptic equations in the plane

Summary In this paper the exterior Dirichlet problem for linear elliptic equations in two independent variables with bounded measurable coefficients is investigated. An existence-uniqueness theorem is established in a suitably weighted Sobolev class. Some a-priori estimates are derived. Entrata in Redazione il 6 agosto 1977.

The dirichlet problem in lipschitz domains for higher order elliptic systems with rough coefficients

We study the Dirichlet problem, in Lipschitz domains and with boundary data in Besov spaces, for divergence form strongly elliptic systems of arbitrary order with bounded, complex-valued coefficients. A sharp corollary of our main solvability result is that the operator of this problem performs an isomorphism between weighted Sobolev spaces when its coefficients and the unit normal of the boundary belong to the space VMO.     

On a nonlinear elliptic eigenvalue problem

Let N(λ) be the number of the solutions of the equation: , where Ω is a bounded domain in with smooth boundary. Under suitable conditions on f, we proved that N(λ)→+∞ as λ→+∞.     

Principal eigenvalues and the Dirichlet problem for fully nonlinear elliptic operators

We study uniformly elliptic fully nonlinear equations of the type F(D²u,Du,u,x)=f(x). We show that convex positively 1-homogeneous operators possess two principal eigenvalues and eigenfunctions, and study these objects; we obtain existence and uniqueness results for nonproper operators whose principal eigenvalues (in some cases, only one of them) are positive; finally, we obtain an existence result for nonproper Isaac's equations.

Generalized dirichlet problem in nonlinear potential theory

The operator extending the classical solution of the Dirichlet problem for the quasilinear elliptic equation divA (x,▽u)=0 akin to thep-Laplace equation is shown to be unique providedA obeys a specific order principle. The Keldych lemma is also generalized to this nonlinear setting. Part of this research was performed in 1988–1989 while a visitor at Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana.
