Spike solutions of a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with degenerate potential

We study the existence of positive solutions to the elliptic equation ε²Δu(x,y)−V(y)u(x,y)+f(u(x,y))=0 for (x,y) in an unbounded domain subject to the boundary condition u=0 whenever is nonempty. Our potential V depends only on the y variable and is a bounded or unbounded domain which may coincide with . The positive parameter ε is tending to zero and our solutions u_ε concentrate along minimum points of the unbounded manifold of critical points of V.     

The asymptotic behaviour of the unique solution for the singular Lane-Emden-Fowler equation

By Karamata regular variation theory and constructing comparison functions, we show the exact asymptotic behaviour of the unique classical solution near the boundary to a singular Dirichlet problem −Δu=k(x)g(u), u>0, x∈Ω, u_|∂Ω=0, where Ω is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in RN; g∈C¹((0,∞),(0,∞)), , for each ξ>0, for some γ>0; and for some α∈(0,1), is nonnegative on Ω, which is also singular near the boundary.     

Strong convergence theorems for uniformly continuous pseudocontractive maps

Let K be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Banach space E and let be a uniformly continuous pseudocontraction. Fix any u∈K. Let {xn} be defined by the iterative process: x₀∈K, xn+1:=μn(αnTxn+(1−αn)xn)+(1−μn)u. Let δ(?) denote the modulus of continuity of T with pseudo-inverse ?. If and {xn} are bounded then, under some mild conditions on the sequences n{αn} and n{μn}, the strong convergence of {xn} to a fixed point of T is proved. In the special case where T is Lipschitz, it is shown that the boundedness assumptions on and {xn} can be dispensed with.     

Well-posedness of the fourth-order perturbed Schrödinger type equation in non-isotropic Sobolev spaces

In this paper we study the Cauchy problem of the non-isotropically perturbed fourth-order nonlinear Schrödinger type equation: ((x₁,x₂,…,xn)∈Rn, t?0), where a is a real constant, 1?d<n is an integer, g(x,|u|)u is a nonlinear function which behaves like α|u|u for some constant α>0. By using Kato method, we prove that this perturbed fourth-order Schrödinger type equation is locally well-posed with initial data belonging to the non-isotropic Sobolev spaces provided that s₁,s₂ satisfy the conditions: s₁?0, s₂?0 for or for with some additional conditions. Furthermore, by using non-isotropic Sobolev inequality and energy method, we obtain some global well-posedness results for initial data belonging to non-isotropic Sobolev spaces .     

A unique solution to a nonlinear elliptic equation

The purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of a unique, classical solution to the nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation −∇⋅(a(u(x))∇u(x))=f(x) under periodic boundary conditions, where u(x₀)=u₀ at x₀∈Ω, with Ω=TN, the N-dimensional torus, and N=2,3. The function a is assumed to be smooth, and a(u(x))>0 for , where G⊂R is a bounded interval. We prove that if the functions f and a satisfy certain conditions, then a unique classical solution u exists. The range of the solution u is a subset of a specified interval . Applications of this work include stationary heat/diffusion problems with a source/sink, where the value of the solution is known at a spatial location x₀.     

A generalization of Barbashin-Krasovski theorem

The classical criterion of asymptotic stability of the zero solution of equations x^′=f(t,x) is that there exists a function V(t,x), a(‖x‖)?V(t,x)?b(‖x‖) for some a,b∈K, such that for some c∈K. In this paper we prove that if f(t,x) is bounded, is uniformly continuous and bounded, then the condition that can be weakened and replaced by and contains no complete trajectory of , t∈[−T,T], where , uniformly for (t,x)∈[−T,T]×BH.

Here λ?2, μk∈R, ω is a positive constant and δ(x)=dist(x,∂Ω).     

A remark on Ricceri's conjecture for a class of nonlinear eigenvalue problems

Consider the eigenvalue problem : −Δu=λf(x,u) in Ω, u=0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded smooth domain in RN. Denote by the set of all Carathéodory functions f:Ω×R→R such that for a.e. x∈Ω, f(x,⋅) is Lipschitzian with Lipschitz constant L, f(x,0)=0 and , and denote by (resp. ) the set of λ>0 such that has at least one nonzero classical (resp. weak) solution. Let λ₁ be the first eigenvalue for the Laplacian-Dirichlet problem. We prove that and . Our result is a positive answer to Ricceri's conjecture if use f(x,u) instead of f(u) in the conjecture.     

Local well-posedness for the dispersion generalized periodic KdV equation

In this paper, we set up the local well-posedness of the initial value problem for the dispersion generalized periodic KdV equation: t_∂u+x_∂α|Dx|u=x_∂u², u(0)=φ for α>2, and φ∈Hs(T). And we show that the is a lower endpoint to obtain the bilinear estimates (1.2) and (1.3) which are the crucial steps to obtain the local well-posedness by Picard iteration. The case α=2 was studied in Kenig et al. (1996) [10].     

Asymptotic behavior of positive solutions for heat equation with nonlinear term

We study the nonlinear parabolic equation , in Rn×(0,∞) with boundary condition u(x,0)=u₀(x), not necessarily bounded function. The nonlinearity φ((x,t),u) is required to satisfy some conditions related to the parabolic Kato class P^∞(Rn) while allowing existence of positive solutions of the equation and continuity of such solutions. Our approach is based on potential theory tools.     

Solutions of non-periodic super-quadratic Dirac equations

This paper is concerned with solutions to the Dirac equation: −i∑αkk_∂u+aβu+M(x)u=Ru(x,u). Here M(x) is a general potential and R(x,u) is a self-coupling which is super-quadratic in u at infinity. We use variational methods to study this problem. By virtue of some auxiliary system related to the “limit equation” of the Dirac equation, we construct linking levels of the variational functional ΦM such that the minimax value cM based on the linking structure of ΦM satisfies , where is the least energy of the “limit equation”. Thus we can show the c(C)-condition holds true for all and consequently obtain one least energy solution to the Dirac equation.     

A simple proof for a theorem of Luxemburg and Zaanen

In this paper a simple proof for the following theorem, due to Luxemburg and Zaanen is given: an Archimedean vector lattice A is Dedekind σ-complete if and only if A has the principal projection property and A is uniformly complete. As an application, we give a new and short proof for the following version of Freudenthal's spectral theorem: let A be a uniformly complete vector lattice with the principal projection property and let 0<u∈A. For any element w in A such that 0?w?u there exists a sequence in A which satisfies , where each element sn is of the form , with real numbers α₁,…,αk such that 0?αi?1 (i=1,…,k) and mutually disjoint components p₁,…,pk of u.     

A maximum principle for evolution Hamilton-Jacobi equations on Riemannian manifolds

We establish a maximum principle for viscosity subsolutions and supersolutions of equations of the form ut+F(t,dxu)=0, u(0,x)=u₀(x), where is a bounded uniformly continuous function, M is a Riemannian manifold, and . This yields uniqueness of the viscosity solutions of such Hamilton-Jacobi equations.     

On global attractor for m-Laplacian parabolic equation with local and nonlocal nonlinearity

In this paper, we study the long-time behavior of solutions for m-Laplacian parabolic equation in Ω×(0,∞) with the initial data u(x,0)=u₀(x)∈Lq, q?1, and zero boundary condition in ∂Ω. Two cases for a(x)?a₀>0 and a(x)?0 are considered. We obtain the existence and Lp estimate of global attractor A in Lp, for any p?max{1,q}. The attractor A is in fact a bounded set in if a(x)?a₀>0 in Ω, and A is bounded in if a(x)?0 in Ω.
