Sign-preserving Property for Some Fourth-order Elliptic Operators in One Dimension and Radial Symmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
For a class of one-dimensional linear elliptic fourth-order equations with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions it is shown that a non-positive and non-vanishing right-hand side gives rise to a negative solution. A similar result is obtained for the same class of equations for radially symmetric solutions in a ball or in an annulus. Several applications are given, including applications to nonlinear equations and eigenvalue problems.

Positivity preserving property for a class of biharmonic elliptic problems
The lack of a general maximum principle for biharmonic equations suggests to study under which boundary conditions the positivity preserving property holds. We show that this property holds in general domains for suitable linear combinations of Dirichlet and Navier boundary conditions. The spectrum of this operator exhibits some unexpected features: radial data may generate nonradial solutions....

The general setting that we will discuss, can be written as follows: Mu = f. Here M : X → Y is some given operator for ordered spaces X,Y . The question for this generic equation is: Can one classify M for which it holds that f ≥ 0 =⇒ u ≥ 0? In other words, when do we a have a positivity preserving property in the sense that a positive source gives a positive solution. • Our main focus is on pa...

متن کاملRadial Symmetry and Monotonicity Results for an Integral Equation
In this paper, we consider radial symmetry property of positive solutions of an integral equation arising from some higher order semi-linear elliptic equations on the whole space Rn. We do not use the usual way to get symmetric result by using moving plane method. The nice thing in our argument is that we only need a Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev type inequality. Our main result is Theorem 1 below.

We prove the one-dimensional symmetry of solutions to elliptic equations of the form −div(ea(|∇u|)∇u) = f(u)e, under suitable energy conditions. Our results hold without any restriction on the dimension of the ambient space.
