We present a numerical method for a class of boundary value problems on the unit interval which feature a type of exponential and product nonlinearities. Also, we consider singular case. We construct a kind of spectral collocation method based on shifted Jacobi polynomials to implement this method. A number of specific numerical examples demonstrate the accuracy and the efficiency of the propos...

In this survey we report on some recent results related to various singular phenomena arising in the study of some classes of nonlinear elliptic equations. We establish qualitative results on the existence, nonexistence or the uniqueness of solutions and we focus on the following types of problems: (i) blow-up boundary solutions of logistic equations; (ii) Lane-Emden-Fowler equations with singu...

We consider recovery of low-rank matrices from noisy data by shrinkage of singular values, in which a single, univariate nonlinearity is applied to each of the empirical singular values. We adopt an asymptotic framework, in which the matrix size is much larger than the rank of the signal matrix to be recovered, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the low-rank piece stays constant. For a variety of...

The behavior of the “minimal branch” is investigated for quasilinear eigenvalue problems involving the p-Laplace operator, considered in a smooth bounded domain of RN , and compactness holds below a critical dimension N #. The nonlinearity f (u) lies in a very general class and the results we present are new even for p = 2. Due to the degeneracy of p-Laplace operator, for p = 2 it is crucial to...

We report on some recent existence and uniqueness results for elliptic equations subject to Dirichlet boundary condition and involving a singular nonlinearity. We take into account the following types of problems: (i) singular problems with sublinear nonlinearity and two parameters; (ii) combined effects of asymptotically linear and singular nonlinearities in bifurcation problems; (iii) bifurca...
