Multiple solutions of a quasilinear elliptic problem involving nonlinear boundary condition on exterior domain

In this paper, we study the multiplicity of non‐negative solutions for the quasilinear p‐Laplacian equation with the nonlinear boundary condition (1) where Δ_p denotes the p‐Laplacian operator, defined by △ _pu = div( | ? u | ^{p ? 2} ? u),1 < p < N, Ω is a smooth exterior domain in . is the outward normal derivative, . The parameters p,q,r are either or . The weight functions a(x),h(x),g(x) satisfy some suitable conditions. Using the decomposition of the Nehari manifold and the variational methods, we prove that problem (1) has at least two positive solutions provided 0 < | λ | < λ₁ for some λ₁.

Existence and Multiplicity of solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system on unbounded domains involving nonlinear boundary conditions

We prove two existence results for the nonlinear elliptic boundary value system involving $p$-Laplacian over an unbounded domain in $R^N$ with noncompact boundary. The proofs are based on variational methods applied to weighted spaces.     

A semilinear elliptic system involving nonlinear boundary condition and sign-changing weight function

In this paper, we study the combined effect of concave and convex nonlinearities on the number of solutions for a semilinear elliptic system (Eλ,μ) involving nonlinear boundary condition and sign-changing weight function. With the help of the Nehari manifold, we prove that the system has at least two nontrivial nonnegative solutions when the pair of the parameters (λ,μ) belongs to a certain subset of R².

On the existence of solutions for an elliptic system of equations with arbitrary order growth

Let BR be the ball centered at the origin with radius R in RN ( N ≥2). In this paper we study the existence of solution for the following elliptic systemu -△u+λu=p/(p + q)κ(| x |)) u(p-1)vq1,x ∈BR1,-△u+λu=p/(p + q)κ(| x |)) upv(q-1)1,x ∈BR1,u > 01,v > 01,x ∈ BR1,(u)/(v)=01,(v)/(v)=01,x ∈BRwhereλ > 0 , μ > 0 p ≥ 2, q ≥ 2,ν is the unit outward normal at the boundary BR . Under certainassumptions on κ ( | x | ), using variational methods, we prove the existence of a positive and radially increasing solution for this problem without growth conditions on the nonlinearity.

Multiple solutions of a coupled nonlinear Schrödinger system

We will consider the relation between the number of positive standing waves solutions for a class of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger system in RN and the topology of the set of minimum points of potential V(x). The main characteristics of the system are that its functional is strongly indefinite at zero and there is a lack of compactness in RN. Combining the dual variational method with the Nehari technique and using the Concentration-Compactness Lemma, we obtain the existence of multiple solutions associated to the set of global minimum points of the potential V(x) for ? sufficiently small. In addition, our result gives a partial answer to a problem raised by Sirakov about existence of solutions of the perturbed system.

Existence and multiplicity results for singular quasilinear elliptic equation on unbounded domain

In this paper, we are interested in the existence and multiplicity results of solutions for the singular quasilinear elliptic problem with concave–convex nonlinearities (0.1) where is an unbounded exterior domain with smooth boundary ?Ω, 1 < p < N,0 ≤ a < (N ? p) ∕ p,λ > 0,1 < s < p < r < q = pN ∕ (N ? pd),d = a + 1 ? b,a ≤ b < a + 1. By the variational methods, we prove that problem 0.1 admits a sequence of solutions u_k under the appropriate assumptions on the weight functions H(x) and H(x). For the critical case, s = q,h(x) = | x | ^{? bq}, we obtain that problem 0.1 has at least a nonnegative solution with p < r < q and a sequence of solutions u_k with 1 < r < p < q and J(u_k) → 0 as k → ∞ , where J(u) is the energy functional associated to problem 0.1 .

On the existence of solutions for quasilinear elliptic problems with radial potentials on exterior ball

In this paper, we are concerned with a class of quasilinear elliptic problems with radial potentials and a mixed nonlinear boundary condition on exterior ball domain. Based on a compact embedding from a weighted Sobolev space to a weighted L^s space, the existence of nontrivial solutions is obtained via variational methods.     

Positive solutions of quasilinear parabolic systems with nonlinear boundary conditions

The aim of this paper is to investigate the existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior of solutions for a coupled system of quasilinear parabolic equations under nonlinear boundary conditions, including a system of quasilinear parabolic and ordinary differential equations. Also investigated is the existence of positive maximal and minimal solutions of the corresponding quasilinear elliptic system as well as the uniqueness of a positive steady-state solution. The elliptic operators in both systems are allowed to be degenerate in the sense that the density-dependent diffusion coefficients Di(ui) may have the property Di(0)=0 for some or all i. Our approach to the problem is by the method of upper and lower solutions and its associated monotone iterations. It is shown that the time-dependent solution converges to the maximal solution for one class of initial functions and it converges to the minimal solution for another class of initial functions; and if the maximal and minimal solutions coincide then the steady-state solution is unique and the time-dependent solution converges to the unique solution. Applications of these results are given to three model problems, including a porous medium type of problem, a heat-transfer problem, and a two-component competition model in ecology. These applications illustrate some very interesting distinctive behavior of the time-dependent solutions between density-independent and density-dependent diffusions.     

Blow‐up analysis for a system of heat equations coupled via nonlinear boundary conditions

In this paper, we study a system of heat equations coupled via nonlinear boundary conditions (1) Here p, q>0. We prove that the solutions always blow up in finite time for non‐trivial and non‐negative initial values. We also prove that the blow‐up occurs only on S_R = ?B_R for Ω = B_R = {x ? ?ⁿ:|x|<R}and under some assumptions on the initial values. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
