This paper deals with boundary value problems for nonlinear monotone potential operators. An analysis of the nonlinear (monotone potential) Sturm–Liouville operator Au := − ( k((u′)2)u′(x) )′+q(x)u(x), x ∈ (a, b) shows that the potential of this operator as well as the potential of related boundary value problems play an important role not only for solvability of these problems, but also for li...

The characteristic of effective properties of physical processes in heterogeneous media is a basic modeling and computational problem for many applications. As standard numerical discretization of such multiscale problems (e.g. with classical finite element method (FEM)) is often computationally prohibitive, there is a need for a novel computational algorithm able to capture the effective behav...

In this article, we give the extended trial equation method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations with higher order nonlinearity. By use of this method, the exact travel-ing wave solutions including soliton solution, singular soliton solutions, rational function solution and elliptic integral function solution to one-dimensional general improved KdV (GIKdV) equation and Rðm; nÞ e...

Pseudo-monotonicity seems to be a good notion to deal with convergence in non-linear terms of partial differential equations. J.-L. Lions [16] used two different definitions of pseudo-monotonicity for elliptic and parabolic problems, and derived associated existence results. Nonlinear elliptic-parabolic equations are intermediate equations for which an intermediate pseudo-monotonicity is define...
