Entropy solutions to nonlinear elliptic anisotropic problem with variable exponent

In this work, we give an existence result of entropy solutions for nonlinear anisotropic elliptic equation of the type $$- \mbox{div} \big( a(x,u,\nabla u)\big)+ g(x,u,\nabla u) + |u|^{p_{0}(x)-2}u = f-\mbox{div} \phi(u),\quad \mbox{ in } \Omega,$$ where $-\mbox{div}\big(a(x,u,\nabla u)\big)$ is a Leray-Lions operator, $\phi \in C^{0}(I\!\!R,I\!\!R^{N})$. The function $g(x,u,\nabla u)$ is a nonlinear lower order term with natural growth with respect to $|\nabla u|$, satisfying the sign condition and the datum $f$ belongs to $L^1(\Omega)$.     

Entropy solutions of anisotropic elliptic nonlinear obstacle problem with measure data

We prove the existence of an entropy solution for a class of nonlinear anisotropic elliptic unilateral problem associated to the following equation $$\begin{aligned} -\sum _{i=1}^{N} \partial _i a_i(x,u, \nabla u) -\sum _{i=1}^{N}\partial _{i}\phi _{i}( u)=\mu , \end{aligned}$$where the right hand side $$\mu $$ belongs to $$L^{1}(\Omega )+ W^{-1, \vec {p'}}(\Omega )$$. The operator $$-\sum _{i=1}^{N} \partial _i a_i(x,u, \nabla u) $$ is a Leray–Lions anisotropic operator and $$\phi _{i} \in C^{0}({\mathbb {R}}, {\mathbb {R}})$$.     

Nonexistence results and estimates for some nonlinear elliptic problems

Here we study the local or global behaviour of the solutions of elliptic inequalities involving quasilinear operators of the type or . We give integral estimates and nonexistence results. They depend on properties of the supersolutions of the equationsL _A ^u=0,L _B ^v=0, which suppose weak coercivity conditions. Under stronger conditions, we give pointwise estimates in case of equalities, using Harnack properties.     

Low Mach number limit of multidimensional steady flows on the airfoil problem

Given $$\alpha >0$$, we establish the following two supercritical Moser–Trudinger inequalities $$\begin{aligned} \mathop {\sup }\limits _{ u \in W^{1,n}_{0,\mathrm{rad}}(B): \int _B |\nabla u|^n dx \le 1 } \int _B \exp \big ( (\alpha _n + |x|^\alpha ) |u|^{\frac{n}{n-1}} \big ) dx < +\infty \end{aligned}$$and $$\begin{aligned} \mathop {\sup }\limits _{ u\in W^{1,n}_{0,\mathrm{rad}}(B): \int _B |\nabla u|^n dx \le 1 } \int _B \exp \big ( \alpha _n |u|^{\frac{n}{n-1} + |x|^\alpha } \big ) dx < +\infty , \end{aligned}$$where $$W^{1,n}_{0,\mathrm{rad}}(B)$$ is the usual Sobolev spaces of radially symmetric functions on B in $${\mathbb {R}}^n$$ with $$n\ge 2$$. Without restricting to the class of functions $$W^{1,n}_{0,\mathrm{rad}}(B)$$, we should emphasize that the above inequalities fail in $$W^{1,n}_{0}(B)$$. Questions concerning the sharpness of the above inequalities as well as the existence of the optimal functions are also studied. To illustrate the finding, an application to a class of boundary value problems on balls is presented. This is the second part in a set of our works concerning functional inequalities in the supercritical regime.

Where the studied equation is given as follows\begin{equation*}u_{tt} -\mathcal{K}\left( \mathcal{N}u(t)\right)\left[ \Delta_{p(x)}u +\Delta_{r(x)}u_{t}\right]=\mathcal{F}(x, t, u).\end{equation*}Here, $\mathcal{K}\left( \mathcal{N}u(t)\right)$ is a Kirchhoff function, $\Delta_{r(x)}u_{t}$ represent a Kelvin-Voigt strong damping term, and $\mathcal{F}(x, t, u)$ is a source term. According to an appropriate assumption, we obtain the local existence of the weak solutions by applying the Galerkin's approximation method. Furthermore, we prove a non-global existence result for certain solutions with negative/positive initial energy. More precisely, our aim is to find a sufficient conditions for $p(x), q(x), r(x), \mathcal{F}(x,t,u)$ and the initial data for which the blow-up occurs.      8.

New Class of Kirchhoff Type Equations with Kelvin-Voigt Damping and General Nonlinearity: Local Existence and Blow-up in Solutions

In this paper, we consider a class of Kirchhoff equation, in the presence of a Kelvin-Voigt type damping and a source term of general nonlinearity forms. Where the studied equation is given as follows\begin{equation*}u_{tt} -\mathcal{K}\left( \mathcal{N}u(t)\right)\left[ \Delta_{p(x)}u +\Delta_{r(x)}u_{t}\right]=\mathcal{F}(x, t, u).\end{equation*}Here, $\mathcal{K}\left( \mathcal{N}u(t)\right)$ is a Kirchhoff function, $\Delta_{r(x)}u_{t}$ represent a Kelvin-Voigt strong damping term, and $\mathcal{F}(x, t, u)$ is a source term. According to an appropriate assumption, we obtain the local existence of the weak solutions by applying the Galerkin's approximation method. Furthermore, we prove a non-global existence result for certain solutions with negative/positive initial energy. More precisely, our aim is to find a sufficient conditions for $p(x), q(x), r(x), \mathcal{F}(x,t,u)$ and the initial data for which the blow-up occurs.
