Existence results for a singular quasilinear elliptic equation

Let \(\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N\) be a bounded domain with smooth boundary. Existence of a positive solution to the quasilinear equation

$$\begin{aligned} -\text {div}\left[ \left( a(x)+|u|^\theta \right) \nabla u\right] +\frac{\theta }{2}|u|^{\theta -2}u|\nabla u|^2=|u|^{p-2}u \quad \text {in}\ \Omega \end{aligned}$$

with zero Dirichlet boundary condition is proved. Here \(\theta >0\) and a(x) is a measurable function satisfying \(0<\alpha \le a(x)\le \beta \). The equation involves singularity when \(0<\theta \le 1\). As a main novelty with respect to corresponding results in the literature, we only assume \(\theta +2<p<\frac{2^*}{2}(\theta +2)\). The proof relies on a perturbation method and a critical point theory for E-differentiable functionals.

Existence and multiplicity for quasilinear elliptic inclusions with nonmonotone discontinuous multifunction

We develop a flexible tool in terms of appropriately defined sub- and supersolutions that allows for obtaining existence, bounds, and multiplicity of solutions for quasilinear elliptic inclusions with a discontinuous multi-function that need neither be upper nor lower semicontinuous. The problem under consideration may be used to describe certain free boundary problems in mechanical models involving multi-valued constitutive laws. Our approach is based on a combined use of abstract fixed point results for monotone mappings on partially ordered sets, and on the existence and comparison results for multi-valued quasilinear elliptic problems with Clarke’s generalized gradient.     

Existence of a unique solution to a quasilinear elliptic equation

The purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of a unique classical solution u(x) to the quasilinear elliptic equation −∇⋅(a(u)∇u)+v⋅∇u=f, where u(x₀)=u₀ at x₀∈Ω and where n⋅∇u=g on the boundary ∂Ω. We prove that if the functions a, f, v, g satisfy certain conditions, then a unique classical solution u(x) exists. Applications include stationary heat/diffusion problems with convection and with a source/sink, where the value of the solution is known at a spatial location x₀∈Ω, and where n⋅∇u is known on the boundary.

Existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for singular quasilinear problems

In this work we combine perturbation arguments and variational methods to study the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of singular p-Laplacian problems. In the first two theorems we prove the existence of solutions in the sense of distributions. By strengthening the hypotheses, in the third and last result, we establish the existence of two ordered positive weak solutions.

Existence of solutions for degenerate quasilinear elliptic equations

This paper deals with a class of degenerate quasilinear elliptic equations of the form −div(a(x,u,∇u)=g−div(f), where a(x,u,∇u) is allowed to be degenerate with the unknown u. We prove existence of bounded solutions under some hypothesis on f and g. Moreover we prove that there exists a renormalized solution in the case where g∈L¹(Ω) and f∈(L^p′(Ω))^N.

Existence and multiplicity of solutions for semilinear elliptic systems

In this article, it is considered the existence of nonzero solutions for a semilinear elliptic system. First, the existence of one nonzero solution is obtained by applying a version of the generalized mountain pass theorem. Next, a maximum principle is used to derive the existence of a positive and a negative solution. Finally, the generalized Morse theory is used to provides the exist ence of at least three nonzero solutions when the primitive of the nonlinearity has a superquadratic behaviour at infinity.Research partially supported by CNPq/Brazil.
