We consider the uniqueness of the inverse problem for a semilinear elliptic differential equation with Dirichlet condition. The necessary and sufficient condition of a unique solution is obtained. We improved the results obtained by Isakov and Sylvester (1994) for the same problem.

where K(x)μC2,b(V9 ), a, pμ(0, 1) and l is a real parameter. Such singular elliptic problems arise in the contexts of chemical heterogeneous catalysts, nonNewtonian fluids and also the theory of heat conduction in electrically conducting materials, see [3, 5, 8, 9] for a detailed discussion. Obviously (1.1) cannot have a solution uμC2(V9 ) if K(x) is not vanishing near ∂V. However, under variou...

We establish an existence result for semilinear elliptic problems with the associated functional not satisfying the Palais-Smale condition. The nonlinearity of our problem does not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition.

we prove the existence of steady 2-dimensional flows, containing a bounded vortex, and approaching a uniform flow at infinity. the data prescribed is the rearrangement class of the vorticity field. the corresponding stream function satisfies a semilinear elliptic partial differential equation. the result is proved by maximizing the kinetic energy over all flows whose vorticity fields are rearra...

Our goal is to establish the theorems of existence and multiple of positive entire solutions for a class quasilinear elliptic equations in RN with the Schauder-Tychonoff fixed point theorem as the principal tool. In many articles, the theorems of existence and multiple of positive entire solutions for a class semilinear elliptic equations are established. The results of the semilinear equations...

In this paper we extend the idea of interpolated coefficients for semilinear problems to the finite volume element method based on rectangular partition. At first we introduce bilinear finite volume element method with interpolated coefficients for a boundary value problem of semilinear elliptic equation. Next we derive convergence estimate in H 1-norm and superconvergence of derivative. Finall...

Abstract. We consider a control constrained optimal control problem governed by a semilinear elliptic equation with nonlocal interface conditions. These conditions occur during the modeling of diffuse-gray conductive-radiative heat transfer. The problem arises from the aim to optimize the temperature gradient within crystal growth by the physical vapor transport (PVT) method. Based on a minimum...
