On degenerate non-uniformly elliptic problems

Viscosity Subsolutions and Supersolutions for Non-uniformly and Degenerate Elliptic Equations

In the present paper we study the Dirichlet boundary value problem for quasilinear elliptic equations including non-uniformly and degenerate ones. In particular, we consider mean curvature equation and pseudo p-Laplace equation as well. It is well-known that the proof of the existence of continuous viscosity solutions is based on Ishii’s implementation of Perron’s method. In order to use this m...

Some Possibly Degenerate Elliptic Problems with Measure Data and Non Linearity on the Boundary

The goal of this paper is to study some possibly degenerate elliptic equation in a bounded domain with a nonlinear boundary condition involving measure data. We investigate two types of problems: the first one deals with the laplacian in a bounded domain with measure supported on the domain and on the boundary. A second one deals with the same type of data but involves a degenerate weight in th...

Eigenvalue Problems for Degenerate Nonlinear Elliptic Equations in Anisotropic Media

We study nonlinear eigenvalue problems of the type −div(a(x)∇u) = g(λ,x,u) in RN , where a(x) is a degenerate nonnegative weight. We establish the existence of solutions and we obtain information on qualitative properties as multiplicity and location of solutions. Our approach is based on the critical point theory in Sobolev weighted spaces combined with a Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg-type inequal...

Uniformly Elliptic Operators on Riemannian Manifolds

Given a Riemannian manifold (M, g), we study the solutions of heat equations associated with second order differential operators in divergence form that are uniformly elliptic with respect to g . Typical examples of such operators are the Laplace operators of Riemannian structures which are quasi-isometric to g . We first prove some Poincare and Sobolev inequalities on geodesic balls. Then we u...
