- Creator:
- Mawhin, Jean and Szymańska-Dębowska, Katarzyna
- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- nonlocal boundary value problem, lower solution, upper solution, lower slope, upper slope, and Leray-Schauder degree
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- A couple (σ, τ ) of lower and upper slopes for the resonant second order boundary value problem x ′′ = f(t, x, x′ ), x(0) = 0, x ′ (1) = ∫ 1 0 x ′ (s) dg(s), with g increasing on [0, 1] such that ∫ 1 0 dg = 1, is a couple of functions σ, τ ∈ C 1 ([0, 1]) such that σ(t) ≤ τ (t) for all t ∈ [0, 1], σ ′ (t) ≥ f(t, x, σ(t)), σ(1) ≤ ∫ 1 0 σ(s) dg(s), τ ′ (t) ≤ f(t, x, τ (t)), τ (1) ≥ ∫ 1 0 τ (s) dg(s), in the stripe ∫ t 0 σ(s) ds ≤ x ≤ ∫ t 0 τ (s) ds and t ∈ [0, 1]. It is proved that the existence of such a couple (σ, τ ) implies the existence and localization of a solution to the boundary value problem. Multiplicity results are also obtained.

3. Nonlinear elliptic differential equations with multivalued nonlinearities
- Creator:
- Fiacca, Antonella, Matzakos, Nikolas, Papgeorgiou, Nikolas S., and Servadei, Raffaella
- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- upper solution, lower solution, order interval, truncation function, pseudomonotone operator, coercive operator, extremal solution, Yosida approximation, nonsmooth Palais-Smale condition, critical point, and eigenvalue problem
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- In this paper we study nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems with monotone and nonmonotone multivalued nonlinearities. First we consider the case of monotone nonlinearities. In the first result we assume that the multivalued nonlinearity is defined on all $\mathbb{R}$. Assuming the existence of an upper and of a lower solution, we prove the existence of a solution between them. Also for a special version of the problem, we prove the existence of extremal solutions in the order interval formed by the upper and lower solutions. Then we drop the requirement that the monotone nonlinearity is defined on all of $\mathbb{R}$. This case is important because it covers variational inequalities. Using the theory of operators of monotone type we show that the problem has a solution. Finally, in the last part we consider an eigenvalue problem with a nonmonotone multivalued nonlinearity. Using the critical point theory for nonsmooth locally Lipschitz functionals we prove the existence of at least two nontrivial solutions (multiplicity theorem).

4. Periodic problems and problems with discontinuities for nonlinear parabolic equations
- Creator:
- Cardinali, Tiziana and Papageorgiou, Nikolaos S.
- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- pseudomonotone operator, $L$-pseudomonotonicity, operator of type $(S)_{+}$, operator of type $L$-$(S)_{+}$, coercive operator, surjective operator, evolution triple, compact embedding, multifunction, upper solution, lower solution, extremal solution, and $R_{\delta }$-set
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- In this paper we study nonlinear parabolic equations using the method of upper and lower solutions. Using truncation and penalization techniques and results from the theory of operators of monotone type, we prove the existence of a periodic solution between an upper and a lower solution. Then with some monotonicity conditions we prove the existence of extremal solutions in the order interval defined by an upper and a lower solution. Finally we consider problems with discontinuities and we show that their solution set is a compact $R_{\delta }$-set in $(CT,L^2(Z))$.

5. The method of upper and lower solutions for a Lidstone boundary value problem
- Creator:
- Guo, Yanping and Gao, Ying
- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- $n$-parameter eigenvalue problem, Lidstone boundary value problem, lower solution, and upper solution
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- In this paper we develop the monotone method in the presence of upper and lower solutions for the $2$nd order Lidstone boundary value problem \[ u^{(2n)}(t)=f(t,u(t),u^{\prime \prime }(t),\dots ,u^{(2(n-1))}(t)),\quad 0<t<1, u^{(2i)}(0)=u^{(2i)}(1)=0,\quad 0\le i\le n-1, \] where $f\:[0,1]\times \mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is continuous. We obtain sufficient conditions on $f$ to guarantee the existence of solutions between a lower solution and an upper solution for the higher order boundary value problem.
