We consider a Dirichlet problem driven by the anisotropic $(p,q)$-Laplacian and with a reaction that has the competing effects of a singular term and of a parametric superlinear perturbation. Based on variational tools along with truncation and comparison techniques, we prove a bifurcation-type result describing the changes in the set of positive solutions as the parameter varies.
We consider possibly degenerate and singular elliptic equations in a possibly anisotropic medium. We obtain monotonicity results for the energy density, rigidity results for the solutions and classification results for the singularity/degeneracy/anisotropy allowed. As far as we know, these results are new even in the case of non-singular and non-degenerate anisotropic equations.
We consider a class of singular weighted anisotropic $p$-Laplace equations. We provide sufficient condition on the weight function that may vanish or blow up near the origin to ensure the existence of at least one weak solution in the purely singular case and at least two different weak solutions in the purturbed singular case.
In this paper, we deal with anisotropic singular perturbations of some class of elliptic problem. We study the asymptotic behavior of the solution in certain second order pseudo Sobolev space.
In this article we study the asymptotic behavior, of the solution of a nonlinear elliptic, anisotropic singular perturbations problem in cylindrical domain, the limit problem is given and strong convergences are proved, we also give an application to intergo-differential problems.
We study the local behavior of bounded local weak solutions to a class of anisotropic singular equations that involves both non-degenerate and singular operators. Throughout a parabolic approach to expansion of positivity we obtain the interior Hölder continuity, and some integral and pointwise Harnack inequalities.
We prove existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions of nonlocal heat equations associated to anisotropic stable diffusion operators. The main features are that the right-hand side has very few regularity and that the spectral measure can be singular in some directions. The proofs require having good enough estimates for the corresponding heat kernels and their derivatives.
We establish existence results for a class of mixed anisotropic and nonlocal $p$-Laplace equation with singular nonlinearities. We consider both constant and variable singular exponents. Our argument is based on an approximation method. To this end, we also discuss the necessary regularity properties of weak solutions of the associated non-singular problems. More precisely, we obtain local boundedness of subsolutions, Harnack inequality for solutions and weak Harnack inequality for supersolutions.
In this article we give an extention of the L^2-theory of anisotropic singular perturbations for elliptic problems. We study a linear and some nonlinear problems involving L^p data (1<p<2). Convergences in pseudo Sobolev spaces are proved for weak and entropy solutions, and rate of convergence is given in cylindrical domains
This article consists of study of anisotropic double phase problems with singular term and sign changing subcritical as well as critical nonlinearity. Seeking the help of well known Nehari manifold technique, we establish existence of at least two opposite sign energy solutions in the subcritical case and one negative energy solution in the critical case. The results in the critical case is even new in the classical $p$-Laplacian case.
In this paper we consider a Dirichlet problem driven by an anisotropic $(p,q)$-differential operator and a parametric reaction having the competing effects of a singular term and of a superlinear perturbation. We prove a bifurcation-type theorem describing the changes in the set of positive solutions as the parameter moves. Moreover, we prove the existence of a minimal positive solution and determine the monotonicity and continuity properties of the minimal solution map.
In this article, we deal with some problems involving a class of singularly perturbed elliptic operator. We prove the asymptotic preserving of a general Galerkin method associated to a semilinear problem. We use a particular Galerkin approximation to estimate the convergence rate on the whole domain, for the linear problem. Finally, we study the asymptotic behavior of the semigroup generated.
The aim of this paper is to study a class of positive solutions of the fast diffusion equation with specific persistent singular behavior. First, we construct new types of solutions with anisotropic singularities. Depending on parameters, either these solutions solve the original equation in the distributional sense, or they are not locally integrable in space-time. We show that the latter also holds for solutions with snaking singularities, whose existence has been proved recently by M. Fila, J.R. King, J. Takahashi, and E. Yanagida. Moreover, we establish that in the distributional sense, is…
We consider the Wulff-type energy functional $$ \mathcal{W}_Ω(u) := \int_ΩB(H(\nabla u (x))) - F(u(x)) \, dx, $$ where $B$ is positive, monotone and convex, and $H$ is positive homogeneous of degree 1. The critical points of this functional satisfy a possibly singular or degenerate, quasilinear equation in an anisotropic medium. We prove that the gradient of the solution is bounded at any point by the potential $F(u)$ and we deduce several rigidity and symmetry properties.
We study nonlocal operators acting on functions in the Euclidean space. The operators under consideration generate anisotropic jump processes, e.g., a jump process that behaves like a stable process in each direction but with a different index of stability. Its generator is the sum of one-dimensional fractional Laplace operators with different orders of differentiability. We study such operators in the general framework of bounded measurable coefficients. We prove a weak Harnack inequality and Hölder regularity results for solutions to corresponding integro-differential equations.
We consider a nonlinear parametric Neumann problem driven by the anisotropic $(p,q)$-Laplacian and a reaction which exhibits the combined effects of a singular term and of a parametric superlinear perturbation. We are looking for positive solutions. Using a combination of topological and variational tools together with suitable truncation and comparison techniques, we prove a bifurcation-type result describing the set of positive solutions as the positive parameter $λ$ varies. We also show the existence of minimal positive solutions $u_λ^*$ and determine the monotonicity and continuity propert…
In this paper we consider a very singular elliptic equation that involves an anisotropic diffusion operator, including one-Laplacian, and is perturbed by a $p$-Laplacian-type diffusion operator with $1<p<\infty$. This equation seems analytically difficult to handle near a facet, the place where the gradient vanishes. Our main purpose is to prove that weak solutions are continuously differentiable even across the facet. Here it is of interest to know whether a gradient is continuous when it is truncated near a facet. To answer this affirmatively, we consider an approximation problem, and use st…
For a given Finsler-Minkowski norm $\mathcal{F}$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ and a bounded smooth domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ $\big(N\geq 2\big)$, we establish the following weighted anisotropic Sobolev inequality $$ S\left(\int_Ω|u|^q f\,dx\right)^\frac{1}{q}\leq\left(\int_Ω\mathcal{F}(\nabla u)^p w\,dx\right)^\frac{1}{p},\quad\forall\,u\in W_0^{1,p}(Ω,w)\leqno{\mathcal{(P)}} $$ where $W_0^{1,p}(Ω,w)$ is the weighted Sobolev space under a class of $p$-admissible weights $w$, where $f$ is some nonnegative integrable function in $Ω$. We discuss the case $0<q<1$ and observe that $$ μ(Ω):=\inf_{u\in W_{0…
Let $p_i\geq 2$ and consider the following anisotropic $p$-Laplace equation $$ -\sum_{i=1}^{N}\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i}\Big(\Big|\frac{\partial u}{\partial x_i}\Big|^{p_i-2}\frac{\partial u}{\partial x_i}\Big)=g(x)f(u),\,\,u>0\text{ in }Ω. $$ Under suitable hypothesis on the weight function $g$ we present an existence result for $f(u)=e^\frac{1}{u}$ in a bounded smooth domain $Ω$ and nonexistence results for $f(u)=-e^\frac{1}{u}$ or $-(u^{-δ}+u^{-γ}),$ $δ,γ>0$ with $Ω=\mathbb{R}^N$ respectively.
This paper concerns with the heat equation in the half-space $\mathbb{R}_{+}^{n}$ with nonlinearity and singular potential on the boundary $\partial\mathbb{R}_{+}^{n}$. We develop a well-posedness theory (without using Kato and Hardy inequalities) that allows us to consider critical potentials with infinite many singularities and anisotropy. Motivated by potential profiles of interest, the analysis is performed in weak $L^{p}$-spaces in which we prove key linear estimates for some boundary operators arising from the Duhamel integral formulation in $\mathbb{R}_{+}^{n}$. Moreover, we investigate…
We consider the time-harmonic acoustic wave scattering by a bounded {\it anisotropic inhomogeneity} embedded in an unbounded {\it anisotropic} homogeneous medium. The material parameters may have discontinuities across the interface between the inhomogeneous interior and homogeneous exterior regions. The corresponding mathematical problem is formulated as a transmission problems for a second order elliptic partial differential equation of Helmholtz type with discontinuous variable coefficients. Using a localised quasi-parametrix based on the harmonic fundamental solution, the transmission prob…
In this article, we study the following anisotropic p-Laplacian equation with variable exponent given by \begin{equation*} (P)\left\{\begin{split} -Δ_{H,p}u&=\frac{\la f(x)}{u^{q(x)}}+g(u)\text{ in }Ω,\\ u&>0\text{ in }Ω,\,u=0\text{ on }\partialΩ, \end{split}\right. \end{equation*} under the assumption $Ω$ is a bounded smooth domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with $p,N\geq 2$, $\la>0$ and $0<q \in C(\bar \Om)$. For the purely singular case that is $g\equiv 0$, we proved existence and uniqueness of solution. We also demonstrate the existence of multiple solution to $(P)$ provided $f\equiv 1$ and $g(u)=u…
We study a large family of axisymmetric Riesz-type singular interaction potentials with anisotropy in three dimensions. We generalize some of the results of our recent work in two dimensions to the present setting. For potentials with linear interpolation convexity, their associated global energy minimizers are given by explicit formulas whose supports are ellipsoids. We show that for less singular anisotropic Riesz potentials, the global minimizer may collapse into one or two dimensional concentrated measures which minimize restricted isotropic Riesz interaction energies. Some partial aspects…
In this paper we study a gradient flow generated by the Landau-de Gennes free energy that describes nematic liquid crystal configurations in the space of $Q$-tensors. This free energy density functional is composed of three quadratic terms as the elastic energy density part, and a singular potential in the bulk part that is considered as a natural enforcement of a physical constraint on the eigenvalues of $Q$. The system is a non-diagonal parabolic system with a singular potential which trends to infinity logarithmically when the eigenvalues of $Q$ approaches the physical boundary. We give a r…
In this paper we consider the 2D Ericksen-Leslie equations which describes the hydrodynamics of nematic Liquid crystal with external body forces and anisotropic energy modeling the energy of applied external control such as magnetic or electric field. Under general assumptions on the initial data, the external data and the anisotropic energy, we prove the existence and uniqueness of global weak solutions with finitely many singular times. If the initial data and the external forces are sufficiently small, then we establish that the global weak solution does not have any singular times and is r…
We prove quantitative estimates for flows of vector fields subject to anisotropic regularity conditions: some derivatives of some components are (singular integrals of) measures, while the remaining derivatives are (singular integrals of) integrable functions. This is motivated by the regularity of the vector field in the Vlasov-Poisson equation with measure density. The proof exploits an anisotropic variant of the argument of Crippa and De Lellis and suitable estimates for the difference quotients in such anisotropic context. In contrast to regularization methods, this approach gives quantita…
The purpose of this article is to study very weak solutions of elliptic equation $$ -Δu+g(u)=2k\frac{\partial δ_0}{\partial x_N }+jδ_0\quad {\rm in}\quad\ \ B_1(0),\qquad u=0\quad {\rm on}\quad\ \ \partial B_1(0), $$ where $k>0$, $j\ge0$, $B_1(0)$ denotes the unit ball centered at the origin in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with $N\geq2$, $g:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is an odd, nondecreasing and $C^1$ function, $δ_0$ is the Dirac mass concentrated at the origin and $\frac{\partialδ_0}{\partial x_N}$ is defined in the distribution sense that $$ \langle\frac{\partial δ_0}{\partial x_N},ζ\rangle=\frac{\partialζ(…
We prove the existence of a solution to a singular anisotropic elliptic equation in a bounded open subset $Ω$ of $\mathbb R^N$ with $N\ge 2$, subject to a homogeneous boundary condition: \begin{equation} \label{eq0} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \mathcal A u+ Φ(u,\nabla u)=Ψ(u,\nabla u)+ \mathfrak{B} u \quad& \mbox{in } Ω,\\ u=0 & \mbox{on } \partialΩ. \end{array} \right. \end{equation} Here $ \mathcal A u=-\sum_{j=1}^N |\partial_j u|^{p_j-2}\partial_j u$ is the anisotropic $\overrightarrow{p}$-Laplace operator, while $\mathfrak B$ is an operator from $W_0^{1,\overrightarrow{p}}(Ω)$ into $W^{-1,\o…
We study the perfect conductivity problem when two perfectly conducting inclusions are closely located to each other in an anisotropic background medium. We establish optimal upper and lower gradient bounds for the solution in any dimension which characterize the singular behavior of the electric field as the distance between the inclusions goes to zero.
We consider a class of quasi-linear anisotropic elliptic equations, possibly degenerate or singular, which are of interest in several applications such as computer vision and continuum mechanics. We prove a Hopf Lemma as well as local and global regularity estimates for positive solutions, generalizing previous results known in the context of p-Laplacian equations.
We study Sobolev spaces with weights in the half-space $\mathbb{R}^{N+1}_+=\{(x,y): x \in \mathbb{R}^N, y>0\}$, adapted to the singular elliptic operators \begin{equation*} \mathcal L =y^{α_1}Δ_{x} +y^{α_2}\left(D_{yy}+\frac{c}{y}D_y -\frac{b}{y^2}\right). \end{equation*}
We prove that viscosity solutions of geometric equations in step two Carnot groups can be equivalently reformulated by restricting the set of test functions at the singular points. These are characteristic points for the level sets of the solutions and are usually difficult to deal with. A similar property is known in the euclidian space, and in Carnot groups is based on appropriate properties of a suitable homogeneous norm. We also use this idea to extend to Carnot groups the definition of generalised flow, and it works similarly to the euclidian setting. These results simplify the handling o…
Anisotropic finite elements for elliptic problems with singular data
Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires(布宜诺斯艾利斯大学自然科学与数学学院);Inst. de Investigaciones Matemáticas “Luis A. Santaló”, CONICET-UBA(CONICET-UBA路易斯·A·桑塔洛数学研究所)
We establish small energy Hölder bounds for minimizers $u_\varepsilon$ of \[E_\varepsilon (u):=\int_ΩW(\nabla u)+ \frac{1}{\varepsilon^2} \int_Ωf(u),\] where $W$ is a positive definite quadratic form and the potential $f$ constrains $u$ to be close to a given manifold $\mathcal N$. This implies that, up to subsequence, $u_\varepsilon$ converges locally uniformly to an $\mathcal N$-valued $W$-harmonic map, away from its singular set. We treat general energies, covering in particular the 3D Landau-de Gennes model for liquid crystals, with three distinct elastic constants. Similar results are kno…
We prove Strichartz estimates for Maxwell equations in media in the fully anisotropic case with Hölder-continuous coefficients. To this end, we use the FBI transform to conjugate the problem to phase space. After reducing to a scalar estimate by means of a matrix symmetrizer, we show oscillatory integral estimates for a variable-coefficient Fourier extension operator. The characteristic surface has conical singularities for any non-vanishing time frequency. Combined with energy estimates, we improve the local well-posedness for certain fully anisotropic quasilinear Maxwell equations.
