with ai(x),pi(x) ∈ C1( ), pi(x) > 1,ai(x)≥ 0. Basing on the weighted variable exponent Sobolev space, a new kind of weak solutions of the equation is introduced. Whether the usual Dirichlet homogeneous boundary value condition can be imposed depends on whether ai(x) is degenerate on the boundary or not. If some of {ai(x)} are degenerate on the boundary, a partial boundary value condition is imp...

We study and solve the Dirichlet problem for graphs of prescribed mean curvature in R over general domains Ω without requiring a mean convexity assumption. By using pieces of nodoids as barriers we first give sufficient conditions for the solvability in case of zero boundary values. Applying a result by Schulz and Williams we can then also solve the Dirichlet problem for boundary values satisfy...

We consider a singular perturbed eigenvalue problem for Laplace operator in a cylinder with frequent interchange of type of boundary condition on a lateral surface. These boundary conditions are prescribed by partition of lateral surface in a great number of narrow strips on those the Dirichlet and Neumann conditions are imposed by turns. We study the case of the homogenized problem containing ...

The mixed Dirichlet-Neumann problem for the Laplace equation in an unbounded plane domain with cuts (cracks) is studied. The Dirichlet condition is given on closed curves making up the boundary of the domain, while the Neumann condition is specified on the cuts. The existence of a classical solution is proved by potential theory and a boundary integral equation method. The integral representati...

In this paper we present a comprehensive existence theory for linear and nonlinear reaction random walk systems. The methods are based on semigroup theory for solutions of differential equations on Banach spaces. The solution properties on a bounded domain sensitively depend on the choice of boundary conditions. For Neumann or for periodic boundary conditions, singularities are transported alon...

In this article, we consider a single-phase coupled nonlinear Stefan problem of the water-head and concentration equations with nonlinear source and permeance terms and a Dirichlet boundary condition depending on the free-boundary function. The problem is very important in subsurface contaminant transport and remediation, seawater intrusion and control, and many other applications. While a Land...

The author deals with the quasilinear parabolic equation ut = [uα + g(u)]∆u + buα+1+f(u,∇u) with Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded domain Ω, where f and g are lower order terms. He shows that, under suitable conditions on f and g, whether the solution is bounded or blows up in a finite time depends only on the first eigenvalue of −∆ in Ω with Dirichlet boundary condition. For some spec...

Two piecewise Hermite bicubic orthogonal spline collocation schemes are considered for the approximate solution of elliptic, self-adjoint, nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary value problems on rectangles. In the rst scheme, the nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition is approximated by means of the piecewise Hermite cubic interpolant, while the piecewise cubic interpolant at the boundary Gaus...

We propose a new numerical method for the solution of Bernoulli’s free boundary value problem for harmonic functions in a doubly connected domain D in R2 where an unknown free boundary Γ0 is determined by prescribed Cauchy data on Γ0 in addition to a Dirichlet condition on the known boundary Γ1. Our main idea is to involve the conformal mapping method as proposed and analyzed by Akduman, Haddar...
