We consider different notions of solutions to the p(x)-Laplace equation − div(|Du(x)| Du(x)) = 0 with 1 < p(x) < ∞. We show by proving a comparison principle that viscosity supersolutions and p(x)-superharmonic functions of nonlinear potential theory coincide. This implies that weak and viscosity solutions are the same class of functions, and that viscosity solutions to Dirichlet problems are u...

The paper studies the third problem for the Laplace equation on a cracked bounded planar domain with multiply connected Lipschitz boundary and boundary conditions from Lp. It is shown that, for 1 < p ≤ 2, there is a unique solution of the problem. This solution is constructed for a domain, which boundary is formed by curves with bounded rotation.

This article is devoted to the study of the existence of weak solutions to an initial and boundary value problem for a parabolic p(x)-Laplace equation with convection term. Using the De Giorgi iteration technique, the authors establish the critical a priori L∞-estimates and thus prove the existence of weak solutions.

In this paper, the convergence of iterative learning control with initial state error for some fractional equation is studied. According to the Laplace transform and the M-L function, the concept of mild solutions is showed. The sufficient conditions of convergence for the open and closed P-type iterative learning control are obtained. Some examples are given to illustrate our main results.

In this paper we find explicit lower bounds for Dirichlet eigenvalues of a weighted quasilinear elliptic system of resonant type in terms of the eigenvalues of a single p-Laplace equation. Also we obtain asymptotic bounds by studying the spectral counting function which is defined as the number of eigenvalues smaller than a given value.

In this paper we establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions for nonlinear evolution equations on Banach space with locally monotone operators, which is a generalization of the classical result by J.L. Lions for monotone operators. In particular, we show that local monotonicity implies the pseudo-monotonicity. The main result is applied to various types of PDE such as reaction-diffusion...

In this paper, a Laplace transform decomposition algorithm (LTDA) is proposed to solve the Riccati equation. Comparisons are made among the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the proposed method. It is shown that the homotopy perturbation method with a specific convex homotopy is equivalent to the Adomian decomposition method and the Laplace transform...

The inhomogeneous normalized infinity Laplace equation was derived from the tug-of-war game in [PSSW] with the positive right-hand-side as a running payoff. The existence, uniqueness and comparison with polar quadratic functions were proved in [PSSW] by the game theory. In this paper, the normalized infinity Laplacian, formally written as 4∞u = | 5 u|−2 ∑n i,j=1 ∂xiu∂xju∂ xixju, is defined in a...

The relationship between solutions of the sinh-Laplace equation and the determination of various kinds of surfaces of constant Gaussian curvature, both positive and negative, will be investigated here. It is shown that when the metric is given in a particular set of coordinates, the Gaussian curvature is related to the sinh-Laplace equation in a direct way. The fundamental equations of surface ...

Abstract. Cell-centered and vertex-centered finite volume schemes for the Laplace equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions are considered on triangular meshes and their Voronoi duals. On a two-dimensional convex polygonal domain, it is shown that a suitable combination of the solutions of these two schemes converges with second-order accuracy towards the exact solution in the L n...
