Estimates of Eigenvalues of a Semiperiodic Dirichlet Problem for a Class of Degenerate Elliptic Equations

And Pointwise Estimates for a Class of Degenerate Elliptic Equations

In this paper we prove a Sobolev-Poincaré inequality for a class of function spaces associated with some degenerate elliptic equations. These estimates provide us with the basic tool to prove an invariant Harnack inequality for weak positive solutions. In addition, Holder regularity of the weak solutions follows in a standard way. 1 Let Sf = YJl ,=i 9j(ajjdj) be a second-order degenerate ellipt...

Solvability of Nonlinear Dirichlet Problem for a Class of Degenerate Elliptic Equations

The Dirichlet Problem for a Class of Elliptic Difference Equations

Under suitable assumptions on the order of nonlinearity we prove existence and uniqueness theorems for difference Dirichlet problems of divergence type. We also show that the discrete solutions converge to a solution of the continuous problem. We do not assume that our equation comes from a variational problem. Some of our results are constructive or allow for the application of constructive me...

Existence Results for a Dirichlet Quasilinear Elliptic Problem

In this paper, existence results of positive classical solutions for a class of second-order differential equations with the nonlinearity dependent on the derivative are established. The approach is based on variational methods.

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
