Eigenvalue Problems for Degenerate Nonlinear Elliptic Equations in Anisotropic Media

چکیده
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 inequality. A specific minimax method is developed without making use of Palais-Smale condition.

Degenerate kernel approximation method for solving Hammerstein system of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind
Degenerate kernel approximation method is generalized to solve Hammerstein system of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. This method approximates the system of integral equations by constructing degenerate kernel approximations and then the problem is reduced to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. Convergence analysis is investigated and on some test problems, the propo...
متن کاملAlexandroff-Bakelman-Pucci estimate and Harnack inequality for degenerate fully non-linear elliptic equations
In this paper, we study fully non-linear elliptic equations in nondivergence form which can be degenerate when “the gradient is small”. Typical examples are either equations involving the m-Laplace operator or BellmanIsaacs equations from stochastic control problems. We establish an AlexandroffBakelman-Pucci estimate and we prove a Harnack inequality for viscosity solutions of such degenerate e...

متن کاملhigher integrability of the gradient in degenerate elliptic equations
We prove that under some global conditions on the maximum and the minimum eigenvalue of the matrix of the coefficients, the gradient of the (weak) solution of some degenerate elliptic equations has higher integrability than expected. Technically we adapt the Giaquinta-Modica regularity method in some degenerate cases. When the dimension is two, a consequence of our result is a new Hölder contin...
متن کاملA numerical method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations based on Sinc-Galerkin method
In this paper, we consider two dimensional nonlinear elliptic equations of the form $ -{rm div}(a(u,nabla u)) = f $. Then, in order to solve these equations on rectangular domains, we propose a numerical method based on Sinc-Galerkin method. Finally, the presented method is tested on some examples. Numerical results show the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method.
