Nonlinear Neumann Boundary Conditions for Quasilinear Degenerate Elliptic Equations and Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove comparison results between viscosity sub and supersolutions of degenerate elliptic and parabolic equations associated to, possibly non-linear, Neumann boundary conditions. These results are obtained under more general assumptions on the equation (in particular the dependence in the gradient of the solution) and they allow applications to quasilinear, possibly singular, elliptic or parabolic equations. One of the main applications is the extension of the so-called level set approach for equations set in bounded domains with nonlinear Neumann boundary conditions. In such a framework, the level set approach provides a weak notion for the motion of hypersurfaces with curvature dependent velocities and a prescribed contact angle at the boundary.

Bifurcation in a variational problem on a surface with a constraint
We describe a variational problem on a surface under a constraintof geometrical character. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence ofbifurcation points are provided. In local coordinates the problem corresponds toa quasilinear elliptic boundary value problem. The problem can be consideredas a physical model for several applications referring to continuum medium andmembranes.
متن کاملLocal C Estimates for Viscosity Solutions of Neumann-type Boundary Value Problems
In this article, we prove the local C0,α regularity and provide C0,α estimates for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear, possibly degenerate, elliptic equations associated to linear or nonlinear Neumann type boundary conditions. The interest of these results comes from the fact that they are indeed regularity results (and not only a priori estimates), from the generality of the equations and ...
متن کاملExistence of solutions for quasilinear degenerate elliptic equations ∗
In this paper, we study the existence of solutions for quasilinear degenerate elliptic equations of the form A(u) + g(x, u,∇u) = h, where A is a Leray-Lions operator from W 1,p 0 (Ω, w) to its dual. On the nonlinear term g(x, s, ξ), we assume growth conditions on ξ, not on s, and a sign condition on s.
متن کاملExistence of at least three weak solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system
In this paper, applying two theorems of Ricceri and Bonanno, we will establish the existence of three weak solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system. Indeed, we will assign a differentiable nonlinear operator to a differential equation system such that the critical points of this operator are weak solutions of the system. In this paper, applying two theorems of R...
متن کاملExistence of Solutions for Quasilinear Elliptic Equations with Nonlinear Boundary Conditions and Indefinite Weight
In this article, we establish the existence and non-existence of solutions for quasilinear equations with nonlinear boundary conditions and indefinite weight. Our proofs are based on variational methods and their geometrical features. In addition, we prove that all the weak solutions are in C1,β(Ω) for some β ∈ (0, 1).
