Overdetermined Elliptic Systems

We consider linear overdetermined systems of partial differential equations. We show that the introduction of weights classically used for the definition of ellipticity is not necessary, as any system that is elliptic with respect to some weights becomes elliptic without weights during its completion to involution. Furthermore, it turns out that there are systems which are not elliptic for any choice of weights but whose involutive form is nevertheless elliptic. We also show that reducing the given system to lower order or to an equivalent system with only one unknown function preserves ellipticity.     

Linear systems on rational elliptic surfaces and elliptic fibrations on K3 surfaces

We consider K3 surfaces which are double covers of rational elliptic surfaces. The former are endowed with a natural elliptic fibration, which is induced by the latter. There are also other elliptic fibrations on such K3 surfaces, which are necessarily induced by special linear systems on the rational elliptic surfaces. We describe these linear systems. In particular, we observe that every conic bundle on the rational surface induces a genus 1 fibration on the K3 surface and we classify the singular fibers of the genus 1 fibration on the K3 surface it terms of singular fibers and special curves on the conic bundle on the rational surface.     

The weak maximum principle for a class of strongly coupled elliptic differential systems

A classical counterexample due to E. De Giorgi, shows that the weak maximum principle does not remain true for general linear elliptic differential systems. Since then, there were some efforts to establish the weak maximum principle for special elliptic differential systems, but the existing works are addressing only the cases of weakly coupled systems, or almost-diagonal systems, or even some systems coupling in various lower order terms. In this paper, by contrast, we present maximum modulus estimates for weak solutions to some coupled elliptic differential systems with different principal parts, under some mild assumptions. The systems under consideration are strongly coupled in the second order terms and other lower order terms, without restrictions on the size of ratios of the different principal part coefficients, or on the number of equations and space variables.     

Invariant convex bodies for strongly elliptic systems

We consider uniformly strongly elliptic systems of the second order with bounded coefficients. First, sufficient conditions for the invariance of convex bodies are obtained for linear systems without zero order term on bounded domains and quasilinear systems of special form on bounded domains and on a class of unbounded domains. These conditions are formulated in algebraic form. They describe relation between the geometry of the invariant convex body and the coefficients of the system. Next, necessary conditions, which are also sufficient, for the invariance of some convex bodies are found for elliptic homogeneous systems with constant coefficients in a half-space. The necessary conditions are derived by using a criterion on the invariance of convex bodies for normalized matrix-valued integral transforms also obtained in the paper. In contrast with the previous studies of invariant sets for elliptic systems, no a priori restrictions on the coefficient matrices are imposed.     

Remarks on ellipticity and regularity for non-inhibited shells and other constrained systems

We examine ellipticity properties for three examples of constrained systems with a Lagrange multiplier. The system of incompressible elasticity is in the restricted context of the Grubb-Geymonat elliptic systems. The Reissner-Mindlin system of plates is in the Agmon-Douglis-Nirenberg context. The system of thin shells which are not geometrically rigid is elliptic or hyperbolic at elliptic or hyperbolic points of the surface, respectively; moreover, this property is only concerned with equations, without boundary conditions. Some properties of the wave fronts and propagation of singularities are given.     

Liouville-type theorems and decay estimates for solutions to higher order elliptic equations

Liouville-type theorems are powerful tools in partial differential equations. Boundedness assumptions of solutions are often imposed in deriving such Liouville-type theorems. In this paper, we establish some Liouville-type theorems without the boundedness assumption of nonnegative solutions to certain classes of elliptic equations and systems. Using a rescaling technique and doubling lemma developed recently in Polá?ik et al. (2007) [20], we improve several Liouville-type theorems in higher order elliptic equations, some semilinear equations and elliptic systems. More specifically, we remove the boundedness assumption of the solutions which is required in the proofs of the corresponding Liouville-type theorems in the recent literature. Moreover, we also investigate the singularity and decay estimates of higher order elliptic equations.     

Sharp Regularity for Elliptic Systems Associated with Transmission Problems

The paper concerns regularity theory for linear elliptic systems with divergence form arising from transmission problems. Estimates in BMO, Dini and Hölder spaces are derived simultaneously and the gaps among of them are filled by using Campanato–John–Nirenberg spaces. Results obtained in the paper are parallel to the classical regularity theory for elliptic systems.

Bifurcation from trivial solution for elliptic systems with nonlinear boundary conditions

In this paper, we investigate semilinear elliptic systems having a parameter with nonlinear Neumann boundary conditions over a smooth bounded domain. The objective of our study is to analyse bifurcation component of positive solutions from trivial solution and their stability. The results are obtained via classical bifurcation theorem from a simple eigenvalue, by studying the eigenvalue problem of elliptic systems.     

Petrovskii elliptic systems in the extended Sobolev scale

Petrovskii elliptic systems of linear differential equations given on a closed smooth manifold are investigated in the extended Sobolev scale. This scale consists of all Hilbert spaces that are interpolation spaces with respect to the Hilbert Sobolev scale. Theorems of solvability of the elliptic systems in the extended Sobolev scale are proved. An a priori estimate for solutions is obtained, and their local regularity is studied.     

Generalized Quasilinearization Method for a Class of Semilinear Elliptic Systems

In this paper, the method of generalized quasilinearization is extended to a class of semilinear elliptic systems, and the sequences which are the solutions of linear differential equations that converge to the unique solution of the given semilinear elliptic system are obtained.     

Local boundedness of solutions to quasilinear elliptic systems

The mathematical analysis to achieve everywhere regularity in the interior of weak solutions to nonlinear elliptic systems usually starts from their local boundedness. Having in mind De Giorgi’s counterexamples, some structure conditions must be imposed to treat systems of partial differential equations. On the contrary, in the scalar case of a general elliptic single equation a well established theory of regularity exists. In this paper we propose a unified approach to local boundedness of weak solutions to a class of quasilinear elliptic systems, with a structure condition inspired by Ladyzhenskaya–Ural’tseva’s work for linear systems, as well as valid for the general scalar case. Our growth assumptions on the nonlinear quantities involved are new and general enough to include anisotropic systems with sharp exponents and the p, q-growth case.     

Matrix polynomials and the index problem for elliptic systems

The main new results of this paper concern the formulation of algebraic conditions for the Fredholm property of elliptic systems of P.D.E.'s with boundary values, which are equivalent to the Lopatinskii condition. The Lopatinskii condition is reformulated in a new algebraic form (based on matrix polynomials) which is then used to study the existence of homotopies of elliptic boundary value problems. The paper also contains an exposition of the relevant parts of the theory of matrix polynomials and the theory of elliptic systems of P.D.E.'s.

     

A new process for constructing coefficients of elliptic complex equations in multiply connected domains

This article concerns the inverse problem for linear elliptic systems of first-order equations with Riemann–Hilbert-type map in multiply connected domains. First the formulation and the complex form of the problem for the systems are given, and then the coefficients of the elliptic complex equations for the above problem are constructed by a complex analytic method, where the advantage of the methods in other papers is absorbed, and the used method in this article is more simple and the obtained result is more general. As an application of the above results, we can derive the corresponding results of the inverse problem for second-order elliptic equations from Dirichlet to Neumann map in multiply connected domains.

Potential bounds in problems on quasilinear elliptic equations

We study quasilinear elliptic equations with strong nonlinear terms and systems of such equations. The methods developed by the authors in [1], [2] are used to prove the existence of solutions for boundary—value problems using some information on behavior of potential bounds for nonlinearities; the L–characteristics of elliptic operators and their fractional powers play an important role. New conditions are suggested for the existence of classical solutions of quasilinear second order elliptic equations.     

Standard and Economical Cascadic Multigrid Methods for the Mortar Finite Element Methods

In this paper, standard and economical cascadic multigrid methods are con-sidered for solving the algebraic systems resulting from the mortar finite element meth-ods. Both cascadic multigrid methods do not need full elliptic regularity, so they can be used to tackle more general elliptic problems. Numerical experiments are reported to support our theory.
