In this paper‎, ‎we prove a multiplicity result for some biharmonic elliptic equation of Kirchhoff type and involving nonlinearities with critical exponential growth at infinity‎. ‎Using some variational arguments and exploiting the symmetries of the problem‎, ‎we establish a multiplicity result giving two nontrivial solutions‎.

This paper is an attempt to determine quasi-static thermal stresses in a thin elliptical plate which is subjected to transient temperature on the top face with zero temperature on the lower face and the homogeneous boundary condition of the third kind on the fixed elliptical curved surface. The solution to conductivity equation is elucidated by employing a classical method. The solution of stre...

We present an implementation of Böhmer’s finite element method for fully nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations on convex polygonal domains, based on a modified Argyris element and BernsteinBézier techniques. Our numerical experiments for several test problems, involving the classical Monge-Ampère equation and an unconditionally elliptic equation, confirm the convergence and error bo...

In this paper, dependent and independent variable transformations are introduced to solve a generalized sinh–Gordon equation by using the binary F-expansion method and the knowledge of elliptic equation and Jacobian elliptic functions. Many different new exact solutions such as double periodic wave and complex wave solutions are obtained. Some previous results are extended. 2013 Elsevier Inc. A...

1. Introduction The stationary behaviour of semiconductor devices is governed by a set of nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations. This includes a nonlinear Poisson equation and two nonlinear continuity equations. Using Gummel's method [2] we can decouple the nonlinear elliptic system so that at each step we solve an equation of the form

We study the existence of weak solutions to a mixture model for tumour growth that consists of a Cahn–Hilliard–Darcy system coupled with an elliptic reactiondiffusion equation. The Darcy law gives rise to an elliptic equation for the pressure that is coupled to the convective Cahn–Hilliard equation through convective and source terms. Both Dirichlet and Robin boundary conditions are considered ...

Schrödinger equation, the neutron transport equation, Maxwell's equations, and the Dirac equation. A notable feature of the book is the treatment of second-order elliptic and parabolic problems in L and L spaces. Fattorini does a nice job of explaining the Agmon-Douglis-Nirenberg elliptic machinery (in the second-order case), making it accessible to a wide audience. An important feature of the ...

This paper presents a finite-element dimension splitting algorithm (DSA) for a three-dimensional (3D) elliptic equation in a cubic domain. The main idea of DSA is that a 3D elliptic equation can be transformed into a series of two-dimensional (2D) elliptic equations in the X–Y plane along the Z-direction. The convergence speed of the DSA for a 3D elliptic equation depends mainly on the mesh sca...

We used what we called extended Fan’s sub-equation method and a new compound Riccati equations rational expansion method to construct the exact travelling wave solutions of the Davey-Stewartson DS equations. The basic idea of the proposed extended Fan’s subequation method is to take fulls advantage of the general elliptic equations, involving five parameters, which have many new solutions and w...
