By means of variational methods we investigate existence, non-existence as well as regularity of weak solutions for a system of nonlocal equations involving the fractional laplacian operator and with nonlinearity reaching the critical growth and interacting, in a suitable sense, with the spectrum of the operator.

Motivated by searching for positive radially symmetric solutions in a fixed exterior domain in RN for partial differential equations involving the curvature operator, the global positiveness and uniqueness of (*) is also considered. Several examples illustrate the discrepancies between the bounded and unbounded Φ. The results for the curvature operator and the classical Φ-Laplacian are compared...

Abstract. In the objective of studying concentration and oscillation properties of eigenfunctions of the discrete Laplacian on regular graphs, we construct a pseudo-differential calculus on homogeneous trees, their universal covers. We define symbol classes and associated operators. We prove that these operators are bounded on L and give adjoint and product formulas. Finally we compute the symb...

Let T be a time scale. We study the existence of positive solutions for the nonlinear four-point singular boundary value problem with p-Laplacian dynamic delay differential equations on time scales, subject to some boundary conditions. By using the fixed-point index theory, the existence of positive solution and many positive solutions for nonlinear four-point singular boundary value problem wi...

We introduce a family of post-critically finite fractal trees indexed by the number of branches they possess. Then we produce a Laplacian operator on graph approximations to these fractals and use spectral decimation to describe the spectrum of the Laplacian on these trees. Lastly we consider the behavior of the spectrum as the number of branches increases. MCS: 28A80, 34B45, 15A18, 60J45, 94C9...

In this paper, we study a Fokker-Planck equation of the form ut = I[u] + div(xu) where the operator I, which is usually the Laplacian, is replaced here with a general Lévy operator. We prove by the entropy production method the exponential decay in time of the solution to the only steady state of the associated stationnary equation.

This paper compares the performance of different edge detection methods like Sobel, Prewitt, Robert’s, Canny, Laplacian, Laplacian of Gaussian with Gabor filter on number of images. It has been concluded that in case of natural images a Gabor filter yields better results than other operators but in case of medical images like CT, PET, MRI, the Canny operator shows better results as it provides ...

We prove a CR version of the Obata’s result for the first eigenvalue of the sub-Laplacian in the setting of a compact strictly pseudoconvex pseudohermitian three dimensional manifold with non-negative CR-Paneitz operator which satisfies a Lichnerowicz type condition. We show that if the first positive eigenvalue of the sub-Laplacian takes the smallest possible value then, up to a homothety of t...

In this paper, we use bifurcation method to investigate the existence and multiplicity of one-sign solutions of the p-Laplacian involving a linear/superlinear nonlinearity with zeros. To do this, we first establish a bifurcation theorem from infinity for nonlinear operator equation with homogeneous operator. To deal with the superlinear case, we establish several topological results involving s...
