Renormalized solutions for nonlinear elliptic equations with variable exponents and L data

We prove existence and uniqueness of a renormalized solution to nonlinear elliptic equations with variable exponents and L¹$L^1$ data. The functional setting involves Lebesgue–Sobolev space with variable exponents W^1,p(⋅)(Ω)$W^{1,p(\cdot )}\left(\Omega \right)$.     

Some inverse problems for parabolic and elliptic differential-operator equations

Necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the unique solvability of problems of determining an unknown right-hand side of a differential equation with an unbounded operator coefficient under an additional boundary condition.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 45, No. 1, pp. 120–127, January, 1993.     

A mostly elementary proof of Morrey space estimates for elliptic and parabolic equations with VMO coefficients

In recent years, there has been considerable interest in extending the well-known Calderon-Zygmund estimates for the Laplacian to more general equations, in particular equations with highest order coefficients lying in the Sarason space VMO. In addition, the analogous estimates with Morrey spaces replacing Lebesgue spaces have been considered. These Morrey space estimates have been proved by refining the proofs for the L^p estimates. We shall show that the Morrey space estimates follow from the L^p estimates via an elementary argument which is very similar to that used by Campanato.     

Inverse problems for elliptic equations in the space: II

We consider inverse problems of finding the right-hand side of a linear second-order elliptic equation of general form. The first boundary value problem is studied. We consider two ways of indicating additional information (overdetermination): the trace of the solution can be given on some lower-dimensional manifold inside the domain, or the normal derivative can be specified on part of the boundary. On the basis of the Fredholm alternative proved in the first part of the present paper for the inverse problems in question, we single out conditions on the given functions under which the inverse problem is uniquely solvable. Various types of such conditions are considered. The study is carried out in the class of continuous functions whose derivatives satisfy the Hölder condition.     

Inverse problems for elliptic equations in the space: I

We consider inverse problems of finding the right-hand side of a linear secondorder elliptic equation of general form. We study the first boundary value problem. Two ways of representation of the additional information (over-determination) are considered: specification of the trace of the solution of the boundary value problem inside the domain on some manifold of smaller dimension and specification of values of the normal derivative on a part of the boundary. The Fredholm alternative is proved for the considered problems. Stability estimates are given for the case of unique solvability. The analysis is performed in classes of continuous functions whose derivatives satisfy the Hölder condition.     

On some classes of inverse problems for parabolic and elliptic equations

We study solvability of inverse problems of finding the right-hand side together with a solution itself for vector-valued parabolic and elliptic equations. The usual boundary conditions are supplemented with the overdetermination conditions that are the values of a solution on some system of surfaces.     

Convex hypersurfaces and L estimates for Schrödinger equations

This paper is concerned with Schrödinger equations whose principal operators are homogeneous elliptic. When the corresponding level hypersurface is convex, we show the L^p-L^q estimate of the solution operator in the free case. This estimate, combined with the results of fractionally integrated groups, allows us to further obtain the L^p estimate of solutions for the initial data belonging to a dense subset of L^p in the case of integrable potentials.     

Counterexamples in inverse problems for parabolic,elliptic, and hyperbolic equations

Examples of inverse problems of source reconstruction with nonunique solutions are constructed. Problems for parabolic, elliptic, and hyperbolic equations are considered. Additional data (overdetermination) is specified as a final observation condition.     

Second‐order elliptic and parabolic equations with BMO coefficients in the whole space

In this paper, we obtain the global regularity estimates in Orlicz spaces for second‐order divergence elliptic and parabolic equations with BMO coefficients in the whole space. In fact, the global result can follow from the local estimates. As a corollary we obtain L^p‐type regularity estimates for such equations. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On well-posedness of semilinear parabolic and elliptic problems in the hyperbolic space

We investigate existence and uniqueness of solutions to semilinear parabolic and elliptic equations in bounded domains of the n-dimensional hyperbolic space (n?3). Lp→Lq estimates for the semigroup generated by the Laplace-Beltrami operator are obtained and then used to prove existence and uniqueness results for parabolic problems. Moreover, under proper assumptions on the nonlinear function, we establish uniqueness of positive classical solutions and nonuniqueness of singular solutions of the elliptic problem; furthermore, for the corresponding semilinear parabolic problem, nonuniqueness of weak solutions is stated.     

Exponential decay of the resonance error in numerical homogenization via parabolic and elliptic cell problems

This paper presents two new approaches for finding the homogenized coefficients of multiscale elliptic PDEs. Standard approaches for computing the homogenized coefficients suffer from the so-called resonance error, originating from a mismatch between the true and the computational boundary conditions. Our new methods, based on solutions of parabolic and elliptic cell problems, result in an exponential decay of the resonance error.     

Solution of boundary-value problems for elliptic equations in the space of distributions

We extend the well-known approach to solution of generalized boundary-value problems for second-order elliptic and parabolic equations and for second-order strongly elliptic systems of variational type to the case of a general normal boundary-value problem for an elliptic equation of order2m. The representation of a distribution from (C ^∞ (S))’ is established and is usedfor the proof of convergence of an approximate method of solution of a normal elliptic boundary-value problem in unnormed spaces of distributions.
