A Priori Estimates and Existence of Positive Solutions for a Quasilinear Elliptic Equation

On the basis of some new Liouville theorems, under suitableconditions, a priori estimates are obtained of positive solutionsof the problem where R^N (N 2) is a bounded smooth domain, p>1 and isa parameter, , q are given constants such that p–1<<p*–1, <q, p*=Np/(N–p) if N > p and p*= when N p, and a(x) is a continuous nonnegative function. Makinguse of the Leray–Schauder degree of a compact mappingand a priori estimates, the paper finds that the problem abovepossesses at least one positive solution. It also discussesthe corresponding perturbed problem, where a(x) is replacedby a(x)+, >0. The results are strikingly different from thoseobtained for the case =p–1.

Homoclinic Solutions and Chaos in Ordinary Differential Equations with Singular Perturbations

Ordinary differential equations are considered which contain a singular perturbation. It is assumed that when the perturbation parameter is zero, the equation has a hyperbolic equilibrium and homoclinic solution. No restriction is placed on the dimension of the phase space or on the dimension of intersection of the stable and unstable manifolds. A bifurcation function is established which determines nonzero values of the perturbation parameter for which the homoclinic solution persists. It is further shown that when the vector field is periodic and a transversality condition is satisfied, the homoclinic solution to the perturbed equation produces a transverse homoclinic orbit in the period map. The techniques used are those of exponential dichotomies, Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and scales of Banach spaces. A much simplified version of this latter theory is developed suitable for the present case. This work generalizes some recent results of Battelli and Palmer.

     

A Priori Feedback Estimates for Multiscale Reaction-Diffusion Systems

We study the approximation of a multiscale reaction–diffusion system posed on both macroscopic and microscopic space scales. The coupling between the scales is done through micro–macro flux conditions. Our target system has a typical structure for reaction–diffusion flow problems in media with distributed microstructures (also called, double porosity materials). Besides ensuring basic estimates for the convergence of two-scale semi-discrete Galerkin approximations, we provide a set of a priori feedback estimates and a local feedback error estimator that help in designing a distributed-high-errors strategy to allow for a computationally e?cient zooming in and out from microscopic structures. The error control on the feedback estimates relies on two-scale-energy, regularity, and interpolation estimates as well as on a fine bookeeping of the sources responsible with the propagation of the (multiscale) approximation errors. The working technique based on a priori feedback estimates is in principle applicable to a large class of systems of PDEs with dual structure admitting strong solutions.
