In the paper we study the equation L _u = f, where L is a degenerate elliptic operator, with Neumann boundary condition in a bounded open set μ. We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions in the space H(μ) for the Neumann problem.

Philos-type oscillation theorems for second order damped elliptic equations

Using general means, we establish several new Philos-type oscillation theorems for the second order damped elliptic differential equation
Σi,j=1 N Di[aij（x）Djy]＋Σi=1 N bi（x）Diy＋c（x）f（y）=0
under quite general assumptions. The obtained results are extensions of the well-known oscillation results due to Kamenev, Philos, Yan for second order linear ordinary differential equations and improve recent results of Xu, Jia and Ma.     

The mixed problem for degenerate elliptic equations of second order

The present paper deals with the mixed boundary value problem for elliptic equations with degenerate rank 0. We first give the formulation of the problem and estimates of solutions of the problem, and then prove the existence of solutions of the above problem for elliptic equations by the above estimates and the method of parameter extension. We use the complex method, namely first discuss the corresponding problem for degenerate elliptic complex equations of first order, afterwards discuss the above problem for degenerate elliptic equations of second order.     

Dirichlet problem for properly elliptic equations of fourth order in the exterior of an ellipse

The present paper considers the Dirichlet problem for properly elliptic equations of fourth order in the exterior of an ellipse. No restrictions on the multiplicities of the roots of the characteristic polynomial are assumed.     

Oscillation of second order semilinear elliptic equations with damping

We obtain some new Kamenev-type oscillation theorems for the second order semilinear elliptic differential equation with damping N ∑i,j=1Di[aij（x）Djy]＋N∑i=1bi（x）Diy＋c（x）f（y）=0 under quite general assumptions. These results are extensions of the recent results of Sun [Sun, Y. G.： New Kamenev-type oscillation criteria of second order nonlinear differential equations with damping. J. Math. Anal. Appl., 291, 341-351 （2004）] in a natural way. In particular, we do not impose any additional conditions on the damped functions bi （x） except the continuity. Several examples are given to illustrate the main results.     

On the wellposedness of the Cauchy problem for weakly hyperbolic equations of higher order

We study the wellposedness in the Gevrey classes G^s and in C^∞ of the Cauchy problem for weakly hyperbolic equations of higher order. In this paper we shall give a new approach to the case that the characteristic roots oscillate rapidly and vanish at an infinite number of points. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The Discontinuous Riemann–Hilbert Problem for Elliptic Complex Equations of First Order

In this article, we first transform the general uniformly elliptic systems of first order equations with certain conditions into the complex equations, and propose the discontinuous Riemann- Hilbert problem and its modified well-posedness for the complex equations. Then we give a priori estimates of solutions of the modified discontinuous Riemann-Hilbert problem for the complex equations and verify its solvability. Finally the solvability results of the original discontinuous Riemann-Hilbert boundary value problem can be derived. The discontinuous boundary value problem possesses many applications in mechanics and physics etc.     

Numbers of subnormal solutions for higher order periodic differential equations

In this paper, we estimate the number of subnormal solutions for higher order linear periodic differential equations, and estimate the growth of subnormal solutions and all other solutions. We also give a representation of subnormal solutions of a class of higher order linear periodic differential equations.     

A discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for time dependent partial differential equations with higher order derivatives

In this paper, we develop a new discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element method for solving time dependent partial differential equations (PDEs) with higher order spatial derivatives. Unlike the traditional local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method, the method in this paper can be applied without introducing any auxiliary variables or rewriting the original equation into a larger system. Stability is ensured by a careful choice of interface numerical fluxes. The method can be designed for quite general nonlinear PDEs and we prove stability and give error estimates for a few representative classes of PDEs up to fifth order. Numerical examples show that our scheme attains the optimal -th order of accuracy when using piecewise -th degree polynomials, under the condition that is greater than or equal to the order of the equation.
