A remark on global existence of solutions of shadow systems

Let ?? be an open, bounded domain in ${\mathbb{R}^n\;(n \in \mathbb{N})}$ with smooth boundary ???. Let p, q, r, d ₁, ?? be positive real numbers and s be a non-negative number which satisfies ${0 < \frac{p-1}{r} < \frac{q}{s+1}}$ . We consider the shadow system of the well-known Gierer?CMeinhardt system: $$ \left \{ \begin{array}{l@{\quad}l} \displaystyle{u_t = d_1\Delta u - u + \frac{u^p}{\xi^q}}, & \quad {\rm in}\;\Omega \times (0,T), \\ \displaystyle{\tau \xi_t = -\xi + \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int\nolimits_\Omega\frac{u^r}{\xi^s} {\rm d}x}, & \quad {\rm in}\;(0,T), \\ \displaystyle{\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} =0}, & \quad {\rm on}\;\partial \Omega \times (0,T), \\ \displaystyle{\xi(0) = \xi_0 >0 , \quad u(\cdot,0) = u_0(\cdot)} \geq 0 & \quad {\rm in}\;\Omega. \end{array} \right. $$ We prove that solutions of this system exist globally in time under some conditions on the coefficients. Our results are based on a priori estimates of the solutions and improve the global existence results of Li and Ni in [4].     

Topological degree for solutions of fourth order mean field equations

We consider the following fourth order mean field equation with Navier boundary condition $$\Delta^2 u = \rho \frac{h(x) e^{u}}{\int_\Omega h e^{u}}\,\,{\rm in}\, \Omega,{\quad}u = \Delta u = 0\,\,{\rm on}\,\partial \Omega,\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad(*)$$ where h is a C ^2,?? positive function, ?? is a bounded and smooth domain in ${\mathbb{R}^4}$ . We prove that for ${\rho \in (32m\sigma_3, 32(m + 1)\sigma_3)}$ the degree-counting formula for (*) is given by $$d(\rho)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\frac{1}{m!} (-\chi (\Omega) +1) \cdot\cdot \cdot (-\chi(\Omega)+m) & {\rm for}\, m >0 ,\\ 1 & {\rm for}\, m=0\end{array}\right.$$ where ??(??) is the Euler characteristic of ??. Similar result is also proved for the corresponding Dirichlet problem $$\Delta^2 u = \rho \frac{h(x) e^{u}}{\int_\Omega h e^{u}}\quad{\rm in}\,\Omega, \quad u = \nabla u = 0 \quad {\rm on}\,\,\partial \Omega.\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad(**)$$      

Exact multiplicity results for a singularly perturbed Neumann problem

In this paper we study the number of the boundary single peak solutions of the problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\varepsilon^{2} \Delta u + u = u^{p}, \quad {\rm in}\, \Omega \\ u > 0, \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad {\rm in}\, \Omega \\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial {\nu}} = 0, \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\,\,\, {\rm on}\, \partial {\Omega}\end{array}\right.$$ for ${\varepsilon}$ small and p subcritical. Under some suitable assumptions on the shape of the boundary near a critical point of the mean curvature, we are able to prove exact multiplicity results. Note that the degeneracy of the critical point is allowed.     

General decay and blow-up of solutions for a viscoelastic equation with nonlinear boundary damping-source interactions

In this paper, a viscoelastic equation with nonlinear boundary damping and source terms of the form $$\begin{array}{llll}u_{tt}(t)-\Delta u(t)+\displaystyle\int\limits_{0}^{t}g(t-s)\Delta u(s){\rm d}s=a\left\vert u\right\vert^{p-1}u,\quad{\rm in}\,\Omega\times(0,\infty), \\ \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad u=0,\,{\rm on}\,\Gamma_{0} \times(0,\infty),\\ \dfrac{\partial u}{\partial\nu}-\displaystyle\int\limits_{0}^{t}g(t-s)\frac{\partial}{\partial\nu}u(s){\rm d}s+h(u_{t})=b\left\vert u\right\vert ^{k-1}u,\quad{\rm on} \ \Gamma_{1} \times(0,\infty) \\ \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad u(0)=u^{0},u_{t}(0)=u^{1},\quad x\in\Omega, \end{array}$$ is considered in a bounded domain ??. Under appropriate assumptions imposed on the source and the damping, we establish both existence of solutions and uniform decay rate of the solution energy in terms of the behavior of the nonlinear feedback and the relaxation function g, without setting any restrictive growth assumptions on the damping at the origin and weakening the usual assumptions on the relaxation function g. Moreover, for certain initial data in the unstable set, the finite time blow-up phenomenon is exhibited.     

Weighted Elliptic Systems of Lane–Emden Type in Unbounded Domains

We study the existence of weak solutions for a nonlinear elliptic system of Lane-Emden type $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u \; = \; {\rm sgn}(v)|v|^{p-1} & {\rm in}\;\mathbb{R}^N, \\ -\Delta v \; = \; -\rho(x){\rm sgn}(u)|u|^{\frac{1}{p-1}} + f(x, u) & {\rm in}\;\mathbb{R}^N, \\ u, v \to 0 \quad {\rm as} \quad |x| \to +\infty, \end{array}\right.$$ by means of the Mountain Pass Theorem and some compact imbeddings in weighted Sobolev spaces.

Evans functions and bifurcations of standing wave solutions in delayed synaptically coupled neuronal networks

Consider the following nonlinear singularly perturbed system of integral differential equations &amp;\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}+f(u)+w\\ =&amp;(\alpha-au)\int^{\infty}_0\xi(c)\left[\int_{\mathbb R}K(x-y) H\left(u\left(y,t-\frac1c|x-y|\right)-\theta\right){\rm d}y\right]{\rm d}c\\ &amp;+(\beta-bu)\int^{\infty}_0\eta(\tau)\left[\int_{\mathbb R}W(x-y)H\big(u(y,t-\tau)-\Theta\big){\rm d}y\right]{\rm d}\tau,\\ &amp;\frac{\partial w}{\partial t}=\varepsilon[g(u)-w], and the scalar integral differential equation &amp;\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}+f(u)\\ =&amp;(\alpha-a u)\int^{\infty}_0\xi(c)\left[\int_{\mathbb R}K(x-y) H\left(u\left(y,t-\frac1c|x-y|\right)-\theta\right){\rm d}y\right]{\rm d}c\\ &amp;+(\beta-bu)\int^{\infty}_0\eta(\tau)\left[\int_{\mathbb R}W(x-y)H\big(u(y,t-\tau)-\Theta\big){\rm d}y\right]{\rm d}\tau. There exist standing wave solutions to the nonlinear system. Similarly, there exist standing wave solutions to the scalar equation. The author constructs Evans functions to establish stability of the standing wave solutions of the scalar equation and to establish bifurcations of the standing wave solutions of the nonlinear system.     

Multiplicity of Weak Solutions for a $(p(x), q(x))$-Kirchhoff Equation with Neumann Boundary Conditions

The aim of this study is to investigate the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for the $(p(x), q(x))$-Kirchhoff Neumann problem described by the following equation : \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\left(a_{1}+a_{2}\int_{\Omega}\frac{1}{p(x)}|\nabla u|^{p(x)}dx\right)\Delta_{p(\cdot)}u-\left(b_{1}+b_{2}\int_{\Omega}\frac{1}{q(x)}|\nabla u|^{q(x)}dx\right)\Delta_{q(\cdot)}u\+\lambda(x)\Big(|u|^{p(x)-2} u+|u|^{q(x)-2} u\Big)= f_1(x,u)+f_2(x,u) &\mbox{ in } \Omega, \\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} =0 \quad &\mbox{on} \quad \partial\Omega.\end{array}\right. \end{equation*} By employing a critical point theorem proposed by B. Ricceri, which stems from a more comprehensive variational principle, we have successfully established the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for the aforementioned problem.

{W^{1,1}_0} -solutions for elliptic problems having gradient quadratic lower order terms

In this paper we deal with solutions of problems of the type $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-{\rm div} \Big(\frac{a(x)Du}{(1+|u|)^2} \Big)+u = \frac{b(x)|Du|^2}{(1+|u|)^3} +f \quad &{\rm in} \, \Omega,\\ u=0 &{\rm on} \partial \, \Omega, \end{array} \right.$$ where ${0 < \alpha \leq a(x) \leq \beta, |b(x)| \leq \gamma, \gamma > 0, f \in L^2 (\Omega)}$ and Ω is a bounded subset of ${\mathbb{R}^N}$ with N ≥ 3. We prove the existence of at least one solution for such a problem in the space ${W_{0}^{1, 1}(\Omega) \cap L^{2}(\Omega)}$ if the size of the lower order term satisfies a smallness condition when compared with the principal part of the operator. This kind of problems naturally appears when one looks for positive minima of a functional whose model is: $$J (v) = \frac{\alpha}{2} \int_{\Omega}\frac{|D v|^2}{(1 + |v|)^{2}} + \frac{12}{\int_{\Omega}|v|^2} - \int_{\Omega}f\,v , \quad f \in L^2(\Omega),$$ where in this case a(x) ≡ b(x) = α > 0.     

Singular Adams inequality for biharmonic operator on Heisenberg Group and its applications

The goal of this paper is to establish singular Adams type inequality for biharmonic operator on Heisenberg group. As an application, we establish the existence of a solution to

$$\Delta_{\mathbb{H}^n}^2 u=\frac{f(\xi,u)}{\rho(\xi)^a}\,\,\text{ in}\Omega,\,\, u|_{\partial\Omega}=0=\left.\frac{\partial u}{\partial\nu}\right|_{\partial\Omega},$$

where \({0\in \Omega \subseteq \mathbb{H}^4}\) is a bounded domain, \(0 \leq a \leq Q,\,(Q=10).\) The special feature of this problem is that it contains an exponential nonlinearity and singular potential.

Multiple positive solutions of singular and critical elliptic problem in {\mathbb{R}^2} with discontinuous nonlinearities

Let Ω be a bounded domain in ${\mathbb{R}^2}$ with smooth boundary. We consider the following singular and critical elliptic problem with discontinuous nonlinearity: $$(P_\lambda)\left \{\begin{array}{ll} - \Delta u = \lambda \left(\frac{m(x, u) e^{\alpha{u}^2}}{|x|^{\beta}} + u^{q}g(u - a)\right),\quad{u} > 0 \quad {\rm in} \quad \Omega\\u \quad \quad = 0\quad {\rm on} \quad \partial \Omega \end{array}\right.$$ where ${0\leq q < 1 ,0< \alpha\leq4\pi}$ and ${\beta \in [0, 2)}$ such that ${\frac{\beta}{2} + \frac{\alpha}{4\pi} \leq 1}$ and ${{g(t - a) = \left\{\begin{array}{ll}1, t \leq a\\ 0, t > a.\end{array}\right.}}$ Under the suitable assumptions on m(x, t) we show the existence and multiplicity of solutions for maximal interval for λ.     

Multiple solutions for a class of Kirchhoff type problems with concave nonlinearity

In the present paper, by applying variant mountain pass theorem and Ekeland variational principle we study the existence of multiple nontrivial solutions for a class of Kirchhoff type problems with concave nonlinearity $$ \left\{\begin{array}{ll} -(a + b \int\nolimits_{\Omega} |\nabla{u}|^{2})\triangle{u} = \alpha(x)|u|^{q-2}u + f(x, u),\quad{\rm in}\;\Omega,\\ u = 0,\;\quad\qquad\quad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad{\rm on}\;\partial\Omega, \end{array} \right. $$ A new existence theorem and an interesting corollary of four nontrivial solutions are obtained.     

Global existence of strong solutions of Navier–Stokes equations with non-Newtonian potential for one-dimensional isentropic compressible fluids

We consider strong solutions to the initial boundary value problems for the isentropic compressible Navier–Stokes equations in one dimension: $$\rho\left\{\begin{array}{lll} t+(\rho u)_x=0\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\, {\rm in}\,(0,T)\times(0,1)\\ (\rho u )_t+(\rho u^2)_x+\rho \Phi_x-(\mu( \rho )u_x)_x+P_x=0\quad\quad {\rm in}\,(0,T)\times(0,1) \\\left(\left(\frac{\delta(\Phi_x)^2\,+\,1}{(\Phi_x)^2\,+\,\delta}\right)^{\frac{2-p}{2}}\Phi_x\right)_x=4\pi g(\rho-\frac{1}{|\Omega|}\int\nolimits_\Omega \rho dx\,\,\,\, )\quad\,\, {\rm in}\,(0,T)\times(0,1)\end{array}\right.$$ Here, the Φ is a non-Newtonian potential and strong solutions of the problem and obtains the uniqueness under the compatibility condition.     

Hölder continuity for continuous solutions of the singular minimal surface equation with arbitrary zero set

In this paper we prove the following theorem: Let \(\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^{n}\) be a bounded open set, \(\psi \in C_{c}^{2}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\), \(\psi > 0\) on \(\partial \Omega \), be given boundary values and u a nonnegative solution to the problem

$$\begin{aligned}&u \in C^{0}(\overline{\Omega }) \cap C^{2}(\{u> 0\}) \\&u = \psi \quad \text { on } \; \partial \Omega \\&{\text {div}} \left( \frac{Du}{\sqrt{1 + |Du|^{2}}}\right) = \frac{\alpha }{u \sqrt{1 + |Du|^{2}}} \quad \text { in } \; \{u > 0\} \end{aligned}$$

where \(\alpha > 0\) is a given constant. Then \(u \in C^{0, \frac{1}{2}} (\overline{\Omega })\). Furthermore we prove strict mean convexity of the free boundary \(\partial \{u = 0\}\) provided \(\partial \{u = 0\}\) is assumed to be of class \(C^{2}\) and \(\alpha \ge 1\).

Stability estimates for nonlinear hyperbolic problems with nonlinear Wentzell boundary conditions

Of concern is the nonlinear hyperbolic problem with nonlinear dynamic boundary conditions $$\left\{ \begin{array}{lll} u_{tt} ={\rm div} (\mathcal{A} \nabla u)-\gamma (x,u_t), && \quad {\rm in} \; (0, \infty) \times \Omega,\\ u(0, \cdot)=f, \, u_t(0,\cdot)=g, && \quad {\rm in}\; \Omega, \\ u_{tt} + \beta \partial^ \mathcal{A}_\nu u+c(x)u+ \delta (x,u_t)-q \beta \Lambda_{\rm LB} u=0,&& \quad {\rm on} \;(0, \infty ) \times \partial \Omega . \end{array}\right. $$ for t ≥  0 and ${x \in \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N}$ ; the last equation holds on the boundary ?Ω. Here ${\mathcal{A}= \{a_{ij}(x)\}_{ij}}$ is a real, hermitian, uniformly positive definite N × N matrix; ${\beta \in C(\partial \Omega)}$ , with β > 0; ${\gamma:\Omega \times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}; \delta:\partial \Omega \times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}; \,c:\partial \Omega \to \mathbb{R}; \, q \ge 0, \Lambda_{\rm LB}}$ is the Laplace–Beltrami operator on ?Ω, and ${\partial^\mathcal{A}_\nu u}$ is the conormal derivative of u with respect to ${\mathcal{A}}$ ; everything is sufficiently regular. We prove explicit stability estimates of the solution u with respect to the coefficients ${\mathcal{A},\,\beta,\,\gamma,\,\delta,\,c,\,q}$ , and the initial conditions f, g. Our arguments cover the singular case of a problem with q = 0 which is approximated by problems with positive q.
