Iterative Methods for Nonlinear Elliptic Equations

‖f(u)− f(v)‖−1 ≤ L‖u− v‖−1. We drop the dependence of f on x to emphasis the nonlinearity in u. Let Vh ⊂ H 0 (Ω) be the linear finite element space associated to a quasi-uniform mesh Th. The nonlinear Garlerkin method is: find uh ∈ Vh such that (2) Auh = f(uh) in Vh, where A : H 0 (Ω)→ H−1(Ω) is the elliptic operator defined by −∆. We shall assume the existence and locally uniqueness of the sol...

Perturbing Fully Nonlinear Second Order Elliptic Equations

We present two types of perturbations with reverse effects on some scalar fully nonlinear second order elliptic differential operators: on the other hand, first order perturbations which destroy the global solvability of the Dirichlet problem, in smooth bounded domains of Rn; on the other hand, an integral perturbation which restore the local solvability, on compact connected manifolds without ...

Nonlinear degenerate elliptic equations with measure data

In this paper we prove existence results for some nonlinear degenerate elliptic equations with data in the space of bounded Radon measures and we improve the results already obtained in Cirmi G.R., On the existence of solutions to non-linear degenerate elliptic equations with measure data, Ricerche Mat. 42 (1993), no. 2, 315–329.

Nonlinear Elliptic Partial Difference Equations on Graphs

This article initiates the study of nonlinear elliptic partial difference equations (PdE) on graphs. We seek solutions u : V → R to the semilinear elliptic difference equation −Lu + f(u) = 0 on a graph G = (V,E), where L is the (negative) Laplacian on the graph G. We extend techniques used to prove existence theorems and derive numerical algorithms for the partial differential equation (PDE) ∆u...
