چکیده
In this paper using the critical point theory of Chang [4] for locally Lipschitz functionals we prove an existence theorem for noncoercive Neumann problems with discontinuous nonlinearities. We use the mountain-pass theorem to obtain a nontrivial solution.

Global and local estimates for nonlinear noncoercive elliptic equations with measure data
We study nonlinear noncoercive elliptic problems with measure data, proving first that the global estimates already known when the problem is coercive are still true for noncoercive problems. We then prove new estimates, on sets far from the support of the singular part of the right-hand side, in the energy space associated to the operator, which entails additional regularity results on the sol...
متن کاملExistence of Solutions for Some Noncoercive Elliptic Problems Involving Derivatives of Nonlinear Terms
We study a nonlinear equation with an elliptic operator having degenerate coercivity. We prove the existence of a W 1,1 0 (Ω) solution which is distributional or entropic, according to the growth assumptions on a lower order term in divergence form. To Ildefonso: But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you [9]
متن کاملA least-squares method for second order noncoercive elliptic partial differential equations
In this paper, we consider a least-squares method proposed by Bramble, Lazarov and Pasciak (1998) which can be thought of as a stabilized Galerkin method for noncoercive problems with unique solutions. We modify their method by weakening the strength of the stabilization terms and present various new error estimates. The modified method has all the desirable properties of the original method; i...
متن کاملAdaptive Finite Element Methods for Elliptic Problems with Discontinuous Coefficients
Elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) with discontinuous diffusion coefficients occur in application domains such as diffusions through porous media, electro-magnetic field propagation on heterogeneous media, and diffusion processes on rough surfaces. The standard approach to numerically treating such problems using finite element methods is to assume that the discontinuities lie on th...
متن کاملL∞-error Estimate for a Noncoercive System of Elliptic Quasi-variational Inequalities: a Simple Proof
In this paper we provide a simple proof to derive L∞-error estimate for a noncoercive system of quasi-variational inequalities related to the management of energy production. The key idea is a discrete L∞-stability property owned by the corresponding coercive problem.
