چکیده
Abstract. We discuss a general framework for the numerical solution of a family of semilinear elliptic problems whose leading differential operator is the Laplacian. A problem is first transformed to one on a standard domain via a conformal mapping. The boundary value problem on the standard domain is then reduced to an equivalent integral operator equation. We employ the Galerkin method to solve the integral operator equation, using the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the standard domain. An error analysis of the method is given.

Existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of semilinear elliptic system with nonlinear boundary conditions
This study concerns the existence and multiplicity of positive weak solutions for a class of semilinear elliptic systems with nonlinear boundary conditions. Our results is depending on the local minimization method on the Nehari manifold and some variational techniques. Also, by using Mountain Pass Lemma, we establish the existence of at least one solution with positive energy.
متن کاملA two-phase free boundary problem for a semilinear elliptic equation
In this paper we study a two-phase free boundary problem for a semilinear elliptic equation on a bounded domain $Dsubset mathbb{R}^{n}$ with smooth boundary. We give some results on the growth of solutions and characterize the free boundary points in terms of homogeneous harmonic polynomials using a fundamental result of Caffarelli and Friedman regarding the representation of functions whose ...
متن کاملQuadratic convergence of monotone iterates for semilinear elliptic obstacle problems
In this paper, we consider the numerical solution for the discretization of semilinear elliptic complementarity problems. A monotone algorithm is established based on the upper and lower solutions of the problem. It is proved that iterates, generated by the algorithm, are a pair of upper and lower solution iterates and converge monotonically from above and below, respectively, to the solution o...
متن کاملNumerical verification of positiveness for solutions to semilinear elliptic problems
In this paper, we propose a numerical method for verifying the positiveness of solutions to semilinear elliptic boundary value problems. We provide a sufficient condition for a solution to an elliptic problem to be positive in the domain of the problem, which can be checked numerically without requiring a complicated computation. Although we focus on the homogeneous Dirichlet case in this paper...
