Boundary value problems for a class of elliptic operator pencils

In this paper operator pencilsA(x, D, ) are studied which act on a manifold with boundary and satisfy the condition of N-ellipticity with parameter, a generalization of the notion of ellipticity with parameter as introduced by Agmon and Agranovich-Vishik. Sobolev spaces corresponding to the Newton polygon are defined and investigated; in particular it is possible to describe their trace spaces. With respect to these spaces, an a priori estimate is proved for the Dirichlet boundary value problem connected with an N-elliptic pencil.Supported in part by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and by Russian Foundation of Fundamental Research, Grant 00-01-00387.     

Ellipticity on Manifolds With Edges and Boundary

Ellipticity of a manifold with edges and boundary is connected to boundary and edge conditions that complete corresponding operators to Fredholm operators between weighted Sobolev spaces. We study a new parameter-dependent calculus of elliptic operators, where the interior symbols have specific properties on the boundary. We construct elliptic operators with a prescribed number of edge conditions and obtain isomorphisms in the scale of edge Sobolev spaces.

A singular perturbation problem for linear operators with an application to electrostatic and magnetostatic boundary and transmission problems

The treatment of certain electro- and magnetostatic boundary and transmission problems by boundary integral equations leads to parameter-dependent integral equations of the second kind. The integral operators involved have the property that the dimension of their nullspaces changes between two nonzero values (depending on the geometry of the problem) as the parameter tends to zero. We investigate the continuous dependence of solutions to these equations on the parameter. To this end, we treat the problem of continuous dependence of solutions to parameter-dependent linear operator equations of the second kind in a Banach space in the framework of generalized inverses.     

Superlinear problems without Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz growth condition

Superlinear elliptic boundary value problems without Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz growth condition are considered. Existence of nontrivial solution result is established by combining some arguments used by Struwe and Tarantello and Schechter and Zou (also by Wang and Wei). Firstly, by using the mountain pass theorem due to Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz is constructed a solution for almost every parameter λ by varying the parameter λ. Then, it is considered the continuation of the solutions.     

Variational formulations of nonlinear constrained boundary value problems

Variational formulations of nonlinear constrained boundary value problems in reflexive Banach spaces are discussed from a compositional duality approach. The mixed variational compatibility conditions of the theory correspond to the surjectivity of the primal coupling boundary and interior operators.     

Symbolic calculus for boundary value problems on manifolds with edges

Boundary value problems for (pseudo-) differential operators on a manifold with edges can be characterised by a hierarchy of symbols. The symbolic structure is responsible for ellipticity and for the nature of parametrices within an algebra of “edge-degenerate” pseudo-differential operators. The edge symbolic component of that hierarchy takes values in boundary value problems on an infinite model cone, with edge variables and covariables as parameters. Edge symbols play a crucial role in this theory, in particular, the contribution with holomorphic operator-valued Mellin symbols. We establish a calculus in a framework of “twisted homogeneity” that refers to strongly continuous groups of isomorphisms on weighted cone Sobolev spaces. We then derive an equivalent representation with a particularly transparent composition behaviour.     

On a non-local boundary problem for a parabolic-hyperbolic equation involving a Riemann-Liouville fractional differential operator

In the present work, a non-local boundary value problem with special gluing conditions for a mixed parabolic-hyperbolic equation with parameter is considered. The parabolic part of this equation is a fractional analogue of heat equation and the hyperbolic part is the telegraph equation. The considered problem is reduced, for positive values of the parameter, to an equivalent system of the second kind Volterra integral equations. Due to the influence of the fractional diffusion equation, the looked for solution belongs to a specific class of functions. The method of the Green functions and the properties of integro-differential operators are on the basis of the investigation.     

Perturbazioni singolari ellittiche

We consider general boundary value problem for partial differential operators with small parameter ε in their coefficients, so-called singular perturbation. Both the perturbed and reduced (with ε=0) problems are supposed to be elliptic and satisfy the Shapiro-Lopatinsky coerciveness condition (see [9], [13]). We point out necessary and sufficient conditions on the operator in the region and the boundary operators for the singulary perturbed boundary value problem to be coercive, i.e. for a characteristic two-sided a priori estimate to hold for its solutions uniformly with respect to ε.     

Partially overdetermined elliptic boundary value problems

We consider semilinear elliptic Dirichlet problems in bounded domains, overdetermined with a Neumann condition on a proper part of the boundary. Under different kinds of assumptions, we show that these problems admit a solution only if the domain is a ball. When these assumptions are not fulfilled, we discuss possible counterexamples to symmetry. We also consider Neumann problems overdetermined with a Dirichlet condition on a proper part of the boundary, and the case of partially overdetermined problems on exterior domains.     

An algebra of meromorphic corner symbols

Operators on manifolds with corners that have base configurations with geometric singularities can be analysed in the frame of a conormal symbolic structure which is in spirit similar to the one for conical singularities of Kondrat'ev's work. Solvability of elliptic equations and asymptotics of solutions are determined by meromorphic conormal symbols. We study the case when the base has edge singularities which is a natural assumption in a number of applications. There are new phenomena, caused by a specific kind of higher degeneracy of the underlying symbols. We introduce an algebra of meromorphic edge operators that depend on complex parameters and investigate meromorphic inverses in the parameter-dependent elliptic case. Among the examples are resolvents of elliptic differential operators on manifolds with edges.

Strong Solvability of a Unilateral Boundary Value Problem for Nonlinear Parabolic Operators

Strong solvability in Sobolev spaces is proved for a unilateral boundary value problem for nonlinear parabolic operators. The operator is assumed to be of Carathéodory type and to satisfy a suitable ellipticity condition; only measurability with respect to the independent variable X is required. The main tools of the proof are an estimate for the second derivatives of functions which satisfy the unilateral boundary conditions and the monotonicity of the operator − u _t with respect to Δu for the same functions.     

Linear and nonlinear abstract equations with parameters

This paper focuses on nonlocal boundary value problems for linear and nonlinear abstract elliptic equations in Banach spaces. Here equations and boundary conditions contain certain parameters. The uniform separability of the linear problem and the existence and uniqueness of maximal regular solution of nonlinear problem are obtained in L_p spaces. For linear case the discreteness of spectrum of corresponding parameter dependent differential operator is obtained. The behavior of solution when the parameter approaches zero and its smoothness with respect to the parameter is established. Moreover, we show the estimate for analytic semigroups in terms of interpolation spaces. This fact can be used to obtain maximal regularity properties for abstract boundary value problems.     

Boundary value problems with global projection conditions

Parametrices of elliptic boundary value problems for differential operators belong to an algebra of pseudodifferential operators with the transmission property at the boundary. However, generically, smooth symbols on a manifold with boundary do not have this property, and several interesting applications require a corresponding more general calculus. We introduce here a new algebra of boundary value problems that contains Shapiro-Lopatinskij elliptic as well as global projection conditions; the latter ones are necessary, if an analogue of the Atiyah-Bott obstruction does not vanish. We show that every elliptic operator admits (up to a stabilisation) elliptic conditions of that kind. Corresponding boundary value problems are then Fredholm in adequate scales of spaces. Moreover, we construct parametrices in the calculus.     

Sturm-Liouville operators with indefinite weight functions and eigenvalue depending boundary conditions

We consider a class of boundary value problems for Sturm-Liouville operators with indefinite weight functions. The spectral parameter appears nonlinearly in the boundary condition in the form of a function τ which has the property that λ?λτ(λ) is a generalized Nevanlinna function. We construct linearizations of these boundary value problems and study their spectral properties.     

Diffusive Logistic Equations with Degenerate Boundary Conditions

The purpose of this paper is to provide a careful and accessible exposition of static bifurcation theory for a class of degenerate boundary value problems for diffusive logistic equations with indefinite weights that model population dynamics in environments with spatial heterogeneity. We discuss the changes that occur in the structure of the positive solutions as a parameter varies near the first eigenvalue of the linearized problem, and prove that the most favorable situations will occur if there is a relatively large favorable region (with good resources and without crowding effects) located some distance away from the boundary of the environment.Dedicated to Professor Mitsuru Ikawa on the occasion of his 60th birthday     

The blow-up curve of solutions of mixed problems for semilinear wave equations with exponential nonlinearities in one space dimension, I

In this paper, we consider mixed problems with a spacelike boundary derivative condition for semilinear wave equations with exponential nonlinearities in a quarter plane. Results similar to those obtained earlier by Caffarelli-Friedman for Cauchy problems and power nonlinearities are proved in the present situation, namely we show that solutions either are global or blow up on a spacelike curve. Weaker results are also obtained if the boundary vector field is tangent to the characteristic which leaves the domain in the future.

Boundary Value Problems for the Helmholtz Equation in an Octant

We consider a class of boundary value problems for the three-dimensional Helmholtz equation that appears in diffraction theory. On the three faces of the octant, which are quadrants, we admit first order boundary conditions with constant coefficients, linear combinations of Dirichlet, Neumann, impedance and/or oblique derivative type. A new variety of surface potentials yields 3 × 3 boundary pseudodifferential operators on the quarterplane that are equivalent to the operators associated to the boundary value problems in a Sobolev space setting. These operators are analyzed and inverted in particular cases, which gives us the analytical solution of a number of well-posed problems. Dedicated to Vladimir G. Maz’ya on the occasion of his 70th birthday
