Existence of positive solutions for nonlinear Kirchhoff type problems in with critical Sobolev exponent

In this paper, we study the following nonlinear problem of Kirchhoff type with critical Sobolev exponent: where a, b > 0 are constants. Under certain assumptions on the sign‐changing function f(x,u), we prove the existence of positive solutions by variational methods. Our main results can be viewed as a partial extension of a recent result of He and Zou in [Journal of Differential Equations, 2012] concerning the existence of positive solutions to the nonlinear Kirchhoff problem where ϵ > 0 is a parameter, V (x) is a positive continuous potential, and with 4 < p < 6 and satisfies the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz type condition.

In this paper, we deal with the multiplicity and concentration of positive solutions for the following fractional Schrödinger‐Kirchhoff type equation where ε>0 is a small parameter, is the fractional Laplacian, M is a Kirchhoff function, V is a continuous positive potential, and f is a superlinear continuous function with subcritical growth. By using penalization techniques and Ljusternik‐Schnirelmann theory, we investigate the relation between the number of positive solutions with the topology of the set where the potential attains its minimum.

In this paper, we consider the coupled Kirchhoff‐type system where ε is a small positive parameter and a_i>0, b_i≥0 are constants for i = 1,2, P,Q are positive continuous potentials satisfying some conditions. Using minimax theorem and the Ljusternik‐Schnirelmann category theory, we obtain the existence and multiplicity results of ground state solutions for the aforementioned system as ε > 0 small enough. Moreover, the concentration phenomena of solutions is also explored. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Nonlinear diffusion equations as asymptotic limits of Cahn‐Hilliard systems on unbounded domains via Cauchy's criterion

This paper develops an abstract theory for subdifferential operators to give existence and uniqueness of solutions to the initial‐boundary problem P for the nonlinear diffusion equation in an unbounded domain ( ), written as which represents the porous media, the fast diffusion equations, etc, where β is a single‐valued maximal monotone function on , and T>0. In Kurima and Yokota (J Differential Equations 2017; 263:2024‐2050 and Adv Math Sci Appl 2017; 26:221‐242) existence and uniqueness of solutions for P were directly proved under a growth condition for β even though the Stefan problem was excluded from examples of P . This paper completely removes the growth condition for β by confirming Cauchy's criterion for solutions of the following approximate problem _ε with approximate parameter ε>0: which is called the Cahn‐Hilliard system, even if ( ) is an unbounded domain. Moreover, it can be seen that the Stefan problem excluded from Kurima and Yokota (J Differential Equations 2017; 263:2024‐2050 and Adv Math Sci Appl 2017; 26:221‐242) is covered in the framework of this paper.     

Infinitely many solutions for p‐Kirchhoff equation with concave–convex nonlinearities in

In this paper, we study the existence of infinitely many solutions to p‐Kirchhoff‐type equation (0.1) where f(x,u) = λh₁(x)|u|^{m ? 2}u + h₂(x)|u|^{q ? 2}u,a≥0,μ > 0,τ > 0,λ≥0 and . The potential function verifies , and h₁(x),h₂(x) satisfy suitable conditions. Using variational methods and some special techniques, we prove that there exists λ₀>0 such that problem 0.1 admits infinitely many nonnegative high‐energy solutions provided that λ∈[0,λ₀) and . Also, we prove that problem 0.1 has at least a nontrivial solution under the assumption f(x,u) = h₂|u|^{q ? 2}u,p < q< min{p*,p(τ + 1)} and has infinitely many nonnegative solutions for f(x,u) = h₁|u|^{m ? 2}u,1 < m < p.

Asymptotic behavior of solutions to a class of nonlocal non‐autonomous diffusion equations

In this paper, we consider the nonlocal non‐autonomous evolution problems where Ω is a bounded smooth domain in , N≥1, β is a positive constant, the coefficient a is a continuous bounded function on , and K is an integral operator with symmetric kernel , being J a non‐negative function continuously differentiable on and . We prove the existence of global pullback attractor, and we exhibit a functional to evolution process generated by this problem that decreases along of solutions. Assuming the parameter β is small enough, we show that the origin is locally pullback asymptotically stable. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Two types of upper semi‐continuity of bi‐spatial attractors for non‐autonomous stochastic p‐Laplacian equations on

We consider the long time behavior of solutions for the non‐autonomous stochastic p‐Laplacian equation with additive noise on an unbounded domain. First, we show the existence of a unique ‐pullback attractor, where q is related to the order of the nonlinearity. The main difficulty existed here is to prove the asymptotic compactness of systems in both spaces, because the Laplacian operator is nonlinear and additive noise is considered. We overcome these obstacles by applying the compactness of solutions inside a ball, a truncation method and some new techniques of estimates involving the Laplacian operator. Next, we establish the upper semi‐continuity of attractors at any intensity of noise under the topology of . Finally, we prove this continuity of attractors from domains in the norm of , which improves an early result by Bates et al.(2001) who studied such continuity when the deterministic lattice equations were approached by finite‐dimensional systems, and also complements Li et al. (2015) who discussed this approximation when the nonlinearity f(·,0) had a compact support. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Analyticity for a class of nonlocal Kuramoto‐Sivashinsky equations arising in interfacial electrohydrodynamics

In this article, we study the analyticity properties of solutions of the nonlocal Kuramoto‐Sivashinsky equations, defined on 2π‐periodic intervals, where ν is a positive constant; μ is a nonnegative constant; p is an arbitrary but fixed real number in the interval [3,4); and is an operator defined by its symbol in Fourier space, with be the Hilbert transform. We establish spatial analyticity in a strip around the real axis for the solutions of such equations, which possess universal attractors. Also, a lower bound for the width of the strip of analyticity is obtained.
