A comparison result for radial solutions of the mean curvature equation
We establish two comparison results between the solutions of a class of mean curvature equations and pieces of arcs of circles that satisfy the same Neumann boundary condition. Finally we present a number of examples where our estimates can be applied, some of them have a physical motivation.
متن کاملSolutions to the mean curvature equation by fixed point methods
We give conditions on the boundary data, in order to obtain at least one solution for the problem (1) below, withH a smooth function. Our motivation is a better understanding of the Plateau’s problem for the prescribed mean curvature equation.
متن کاملExistence and Regularity of Weak Solutions to the Prescribed Mean Curvature Equation for a Nonparametric Surface
It is known that for the parametric Plateau’s problem, weak solutions can be obtained as critical points of a functional (see [2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11]). The nonparametric case has been studied for H = H(x,y) (and generally H = H(x1, . . . ,xn) for hypersurfaces in Rn+1) by Gilbarg, Trudinger, Simon, and Serrin, among other authors. It has been proved [5] that there exists a solution for any smooth ...
متن کاملExistence and regularity of extremal solutions for a mean-curvature equation
We study a class of semi-linear mean curvature equations −Mu = H + λf(u) where M is the mean curvature operator. We show that there exists an extremal parameter λ∗ such that this equation admits a minimal weak solutions for all λ ∈ [0, λ∗], while no weak solutions exists for λ > λ∗. In the radial case, we then show that minimal solutions are classical solutions for all λ ∈ [0, λ∗] and that anot...
متن کاملThe onset of multi-valued solutions of a prescribed mean curvature equation with singular nonlinearity
The existence and multiplicity of solutions to a quasilinear, elliptic partial differential equation (PDE) with singular non-linearity is analyzed. The PDE is a recently derived variant of a canonical model used in the modeling of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). It is observed that the bifurcation curve of solutions terminates at single deadend point, beyond which no classical solutions...
