Problems with value terms (and values)

Boundary value problems for elliptic operators with singular drift terms

Let Ω be a Lipschitz domain in R, n ≥ 3, and L = divA∇ − B∇ be a second order elliptic operator in divergence form with real coefficients such that A is a bounded elliptic matrix and the vector field B ∈ Lloc(Ω) is divergence free and satisfies the growth condition dist(X, ∂Ω)|B(X)| ≤ ε1 for ε1 small in a neighbourhood of ∂Ω. For these elliptic operators we will study on the basis of the theory...

Initial-boundary Value Problems for Conservation Laws with Source Terms and the Degasperis-procesi Equation

We consider conservation laws with source terms in a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We first prove the existence of a strong trace at the boundary in order to provide a simple formulation of the entropy boundary condition. Equipped with this formulation, we go on to establish the well-posedness of entropy solutions to the initial-boundary value problem. The proof utilizes th...

Positive solutions of higher-order Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems with derivative-dependent nonlinear terms

wherem≥ 3 and 1≤ q≤m – 2. We note that the nonlinear term F involves derivatives. This makes the problem challenging, and such cases are seldom investigated in the literature. In this paper we develop a new technique to obtain existence criteria for one or multiple positive solutions of the boundary value problem. Several examples with known positive solutions are presented to dwell upon the us...

Existence of Solution to Initial-Boundary Value Problems of the Cahn-Hilliard Equation with Nonlocal Terms

In this paper, inspired from the study on denoising, segmentation and reconstruction in image processing, and combining with the theories of two phase flows, we introduce one class of initial-boundary value problem of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with nonlocal terms. Then, by using the Schauder fixed point theorem, we obtain the existence of weak solutions to this initial boundary value problem f...
