Asymptotic behavior of the solutions of certain problems for the Laplace equation under the deformation of the domain

We consider boundary-value problems for the Laplace equation in the plane and in certain classes of simply connected domains with boundaries constructed in a complicated way; we find the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of these problems when the deformation parameter of the domain tends to zero.Translated from Itogi Nauki i Tekhniki, Seriya Sovremennye Problemy Matematiki, Vol. 20, pp. 3–36, 1982.     

Nontrivial solutions of some fractional problems

In this paper, we study the question of the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for nonlocal equations of fractional Laplacian type with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary data, in presence of a superlinear term. Starting from the well-known Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition, we consider different growth assumptions on the nonlinearity, all of superlinear type. Furthermore, we give an extension of Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition, a non-Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition and apply to study the fractional Laplacian equation. We obtain some different existence results in this setting by using Fountain Theorem. Our results are extension of some problems studied by Bisci et al. (2016) and Binlin et al. (2015).     

The effect of domain shape on the number of positive and nodal solutions for semilinear elliptic equations

In this paper, we study the effect of domain shape on the number of positive and nodal (sign-changing) solutions for a class of semilinear elliptic equations. We prove a semilinear elliptic equation in a domain Ω$\Omega$ that contains m$m$ disjoint large enough balls has m²$m^2$ 2-nodal solutions and m$m$ positive solutions.     

Existence of solutions for critical fractional Kirchhoff problems

Consider the following fractional Kirchhoff equations involving critical exponent: where (?Δ)^α is the fractional Laplacian operator with α ∈(0,1), , , λ ₂>0 and is the critical Sobolev exponent, V (x ) and k (x ) are functions satisfying some extra hypotheses. Based on the principle of concentration compactness in the fractional Sobolev space, the minimax arguments, Pohozaev identity, and suitable truncation techniques, we obtain the existence of a nontrivial weak solution for the previously mentioned equations without assuming the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition on the subcritical nonlinearity f .

A matrix method for fractional Sturm-Liouville problems on bounded domain

A matrix method for the solution of direct fractional Sturm-Liouville problems (SLPs) on bounded domains is proposed where the fractional derivative is defined in the Riesz sense. The scheme is based on the application of the Galerkin spectral method of orthogonal polynomials. The order of convergence of the eigenvalue approximations with respect to the matrix size is studied. Some numerical examples that confirm the theory and prove the competitiveness of the approach are finally presented.     

Positive solutions for fractional four-point boundary value problems

In this paper, a fractional four-point boundary value problem is considered. By means of fixed-point theorems and successive iteration method, some results on the existence, multiplicity and uniqueness of positive solutions are obtained.     

Existence of positive solutions for fractional boundary value problems

In this paper, by introducing a new operator, improving and generating a p-Laplace operator for some $p > 1$, we discuss the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions to the four point boundary value problems of nonlinear fractional differential equations. Our results extend some recent works in the literature.     

Homotopy analysis method for multiple solutions of the fractional Sturm-Liouville problems

In this paper, Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) is applied to numerically approximate the eigenvalues of the fractional Sturm-Liouville problems. The eigenvalues are not unique. These multiple solutions, i.e., eigenvalues, can be calculated by starting the HAM algorithm with one and the same initial guess and linear operator L\mathcal{L}. It can be seen in this paper that the auxiliary parameter (^h/_2p),\hbar, which controls the convergence of the HAM approximate series solutions, has another important application. This important application is predicting and calculating multiple solutions.     

Exact number of positive solutions for semipositone problems

This paper is concerned with the exact number of positive solutions for the boundary value problem ^′(|y^′|^p−2y^′)+λf(y)=0 and y(−1)=y(1)=0, where p>1 and λ>0 is a positive parameter. We consider the case in which both f(u) and g(u)=(p−1)f(u)−uf^′(u) change sign exactly once from negative to positive on (0,∞).     

Multiple positive solutions of degenerate nonlocal problems on unbounded domain

In this paper, we study the existence of multiple positive solutions for a degenerate nonlocal problem on unbounded domain. Using the Ekeland's variational principle combined with the mountain pass theorem, we show that problem admits at least two positive solutions under several different conditions.
