We prove that entire bounded monotone solutions to a certain class of fully nonlinear equations in 2D are one-dimensional. Our result also gives a new (non-variational) proof of the well known De Giorgi's conjecture.
In this paper we introduce an integer-valued degree for second order fully nonlinear elliptic operators with nonlinear oblique boundary conditions. We also give some applications to the existence of solutions of certain nonlinear elliptic equations arising from a Yamabe problem with boundary and reflector problems.
We prove global Holder estimates for solution of fully nonlinear elliptic or degenerate elliptic equations in unbounded domains under geometric conditions on the domain a' la Cabre'.
Integral estimates for weak solutions to a class of Dirichlet problems for nonlinear, fully anisotropic, elliptic equations with a zero order term are obtained using symmetrization techniques.
We establish an optimal C^{1,α}-regularity for viscosity solutions of degenerate/singular fully nonlinear elliptic equations by finding minimal regularity requirements on the associated operator.
We investigate the homogeneous Dirichlet problem in uniformly convex domains for a large class of degenerate elliptic equations with singular zero order term. In particular we establish sharp existence and uniqueness results of positive viscosity solutions.
In this paper, we prove the pointwise boundary differentiability for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic equations. This generalizes the previous related results for linear equations. The geometrical conditions in this paper are pointwise and more general than before. Moreover, our proofs are relatively simple.
We establish some existence results for a class of critical elliptic problems with singular exponential nonlinearities. We do not assume any global sign conditions on the nonlinearity, which makes our results new even in the nonsingular case.
We investigate partial symmetry of solutions to semi-linear and quasi-linear elliptic problems with convex nonlinearities, in domains that are either axially symmetric or radially symmetric.
We prove weighted and mixed-norm Sobolev estimates for fully nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations in the whole space under a relaxed convexity condition with almost VMO dependence on space-time variables. The corresponding interior and boundary estimates are also obtained.
In this paper, we prove the existence and regularity of weak positive solutions for a class of nonlinear elliptic equations with a singular nonlinearity, lower order terms and $L^{1}$ datum in the setting of variable exponent Sobolev spaces. We will prove that the lower order term has some regularizing effects on the solutions. This work generalizes some results given in \cite{1}.
In this paper, we study the exterior Dirichlet problem for the fully nonlinear elliptic equation $f(λ(D^{2}u))=1$. We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions of existence of radial solutions with prescribed asymptotic behavior at infinity.
We obtain Dini type estimates for a class of concave fully nonlinear nonlocal elliptic equations of order $σ\in (0,2)$ with rough and non-symmetric kernels. The proof is based on a novel application of Campanato's approach and a refined $C^{σ+α}$ estimate in [8].
We prove that the existence of a solution to a fully nonlinear elliptic equation in a bounded domain $Ω$ with an overdetermined boundary condition prescribing both Dirichlet and Neumann constant data forces the domain $Ω$ to be a ball. This is a generalization of Serrin's classical result from 1971.
We consider an one-phase free boundary problem for a degenerate fully non-linear elliptic operators with non-zero right hand side. We use the approach present in \cite{DeSilva} to prove that flat free boundaries and Lipschitz free boundaries are $C^{1, γ}$.
It is shown by means of reiterated two-scale convergence in the Sobolev-Orlicz setting, that the sequence of solutions of a class of highly oscillatory problems involving nonlinear elliptic operators with nonstandard growth, converges to a solution of a suitable homogeneous nonlinear elliptic equation associated to an operator with nonstandard growth.
We find a solution of a quasilinear elliptic equation with Dirichlet's boundary condition on a smooth bounded domain and involving an unbounded continuous nonlinearity with oscillatory behavior near the origin.
We provide the Alexandroff-Bakelman-Pucci estimate and global $C^{1, α}$-regularity for a class of singular/degenerate fully nonlinear elliptic equations. We also derive the existence of a viscosity solution to the Dirichlet problem with the associated operator.
We study the existence and uniqueness for weak solutions to some classes of anisotropic elliptic Dirichlet problems with data belonging to the natural dual space.
This paper concerns fully nonlinear elliptic obstacle problems with oblique boundary conditions. We investigate the existence, uniqueness and $W^{2,p}$-regularity results by finding approximate non-obstacle problems with the same oblique boundary condition and then making a suitable limiting process.
In this paper, we establish a global $C^2$ estimates to the Neumann problem for a class of fullly nonlinear elliptic equations. By the method of continuity, we establish the existence theorem of $k$-admissible solutions of the Neumann problems.
We establish quantitative asymptotic behavior of positive solutions of a family of nonlinear elliptic equations on the half cylinder near the end. This unifies the study of isolated singularities of some semilinear elliptic equations, such as the Yamabe equation, Hardy-Hénon equation etc.
We study existence of principal eigenvalues of fully nonlinear integro-differential elliptic equations with a drift term via the Krein-Rutman theorem which based on regularity up to boundary of viscosity solutions. We also show the simplicity of the eigenfunctions in viscosity sense by a nonlocal version of ABP estimate.
We study partial analyticity of solutions to elliptic systems and analyticity of level sets of solutions to nonlinear elliptic systems. We consider several applications, including analyticity of flow lines for bounded stationary solutions to the 2-d Euler equation, and analyticity of water waves with and without surface tension.
We prove $W^{2,\varepsilon}$ estimates for viscosity supersolutions of fully nonlinear, uniformly elliptic equations where $\varepsilon$ decays polynomially with respect to the ellipticity ratio of the equations. Our result is related to a conjecture of Armstrong-Silvestre-Smart [Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 65 (2012), no. 8, 1169--1184] which predicts a linear decay for $\varepsilon$ with respect to the ellipticity ratio of the equations.
We study the asymptotic behaviour of positive solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic equations in a ball, as the exponent of the power nonlinearity approaches a critical value. We show that solutions concentrate and blow up at the center of the ball, while a suitable associated energy remains invariant.
We prove existence and non existence results for fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic inequalities, by showing that the classical Keller--Osserman condition on the zero order term is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of entire sub solutions.
In this work we establish local $C^{2,α}$ regularity estimates for flat solutions to non-convex fully nonlinear elliptic equations provided the coefficients and the source function are of class $C^{0,α}$. For problems with merely continuous data, we prove that flat solutions are locally $C^{1,\text{Log-Lip}}$.
We provide regularity results at the boundary for continuous viscosity solutions to nonconvex fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations and inequalities in Euclidian domains. We show that (i) any solution of two sided inequalities with Pucci extremal operators is $C^{1,α}$ on the boundary; (ii) the solution of the Dirichlet problem for fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations is $C^{2,α}$ on the boundary; (iii) corresponding asymptotic expansions hold. This is an extension to viscosity solutions of the classical Krylov estimates for smooth solutions.
We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a compact manifold near an elliptic periodic geodesic. Using a geometric optics construction, we construct quasimodes to a nonlinear stationary problem which are highly localized near the periodic geodesic. We show the nonlinear Schrödinger evolution of such a quasimode remains localized near the geodesic, at least for short times.
In the present paper, we study sharp C^{1;α} regularity results with boundary Neumann condition for viscosity solutions for a class of degenerate fully non-linear elliptic equations with Neumann boundary conditions.
In this paper, we use variational methods to prove the existence of positive solution for the following class of elliptic equation $$ -ε^{2}Δ{u}+V(z)u=f(u) \,\,\, \mbox{in} \,\,\, \mathbb{R}^{2}, $$ where $ε>0$ is a positive parameter, $V$ is a saddle-like potential and $f$ has an exponential critical growth.
We consider singular perturbations of eigenvalue problems. We prove that to these problems correspond simple eigenvalues and we study their asymptotic behavior. As a result, we prove global bifurcation results for non uniformly and fully nonlinear elliptic equations. These equations are defined on smooth enough bounded domains and the solutions belonging in these branches are smooth and positive.
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) bifurcation for a class of singular elliptic problems with subquadratic convection term. In some concrete situations we also establish the asymptotic behaviour of the solution around the bifurcation point. Our …
We study the boundary continuity of solutions to fully nonlinear elliptic equations. We first define a capacity for operators in non-divergence form and derive several capacitary estimates. Secondly, we formulate the Wiener criterion, which characterizes a regular boundary point via potential theory. Our approach utilizes the asymptotic behavior of homogeneous solutions, together with Harnack inequality and the comparison principle.
We study the Cauchy problem for the generalized elliptic and non-elliptic derivative nonlinear Schrodinger equations, the existence of the scattering operators and the global well posedness of solutions with small data in Besov spaces and in modulation spaces are obtained. In one spatial dimension, we get the sharp well posedness result with small data in critical homogeneous Besov spaces. As a by-product, the existence of the scattering operators with small data is also shown. In order to show these results, the global versions of the estimates for the maximal functions on the elliptic and no…
We obtain an error estimate between viscosity solutions and δ-viscosity solutions of nonhomogeneous fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations. The main assumption, besides uniform ellipticity, is that the nonlinearity is Lipschitz-continuous in space with linear growth in the Hessian. We also establish a rate of convergence for monotone and consistent finite difference approximation schemes for such equations.
We will study solvability of nonlinear second-order elliptic system of partial differential equations with nonlinear boundary conditions. We study the generalized Steklov Robin eigensystem (with possibly matrices weights) in which the spectral parameter is both in the system and on the boundary. We prove the existence of solutions for nonlinear system when both nonlinearities in the differential system and on the boundary interact, in some sense, with the generalized spectrum of Steklov Robin. The method of proof makes use of Leray-Schauder degree.
We establish a Lipschitz stability inequality for the problem of determining the nonlinear term in a quasilinear elliptic equation by boundary measurements. We give a proof based on a linearization procedure together with special solutions constructed from the fundamental solution of the linearized problem.
We study a nonlinear equation with an elliptic operator having degenerate coercivity. We prove the existence of a W^{1,1}_0 solution which is distributional or entropic, according to the growth assumptions on a lower order term in divergence form.
We consider the uniqueness of positive solutions to semilinear elliptic equations with double power nonlinearities. We deduce the uniqueness from the argument in the classical paper by Peletier and Serrin, thereby recovering a part of the uniqueness result of Ouyang and Shi.
We prove a $C^{1,α}$ interior regularity theorem for fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic integro-differential equations without assuming any regularity of the kernel. We then give some applications to linear theory and higher regularity of a special class of nonlinear operators.
In this paper, we study fully non-linear elliptic equations in non-divergence form which can be degenerate when "the gradient is small". Typical examples are either equations involving the $m$-Laplace operator or Bellman-Isaacs equations from stochastic control problems. We establish an Alexandroff-Bakelman-Pucci estimate and we prove a Harnack inequality for viscosity solutions of such degenerate elliptic equations.
We investigate qualitative properties of positive singular solutions of some elliptic systems in bounded and unbounded domains. We deduce symmetry and monotonicity properties via the moving plane procedure. Moreover, in the unbounded case, we study some cooperative elliptic systems involving critical nonlinearities in $\mathbb{R}^n$.
We consider a semilinear elliptic equation in a bounded domain with zero boundary conditions. The nonlinearity is discontinuous and monotone, but it is not a Carathéodory's function. The existence theorem has been proved.
