A Maximum Principle Result for a General Fourth Order Semilinear Elliptic Equation

چکیده
We obtain maximum principles for solutions of some general fourth order elliptic equations by modifying an auxiliary function introduced by L.E. Payne. We give a brief application of these maximum principles by deducing apriori bounds on a certain quantity of interest.

A two-phase free boundary problem for a semilinear elliptic equation
In this paper we study a two-phase free boundary problem for a semilinear elliptic equation on a bounded domain $Dsubset mathbb{R}^{n}$ with smooth boundary. We give some results on the growth of solutions and characterize the free boundary points in terms of homogeneous harmonic polynomials using a fundamental result of Caffarelli and Friedman regarding the representation of functions whose ...
متن کاملOptimal Control of a Semilinear PDE with Nonlocal Radiation Interface Conditions
Abstract. We consider a control constrained optimal control problem governed by a semilinear elliptic equation with nonlocal interface conditions. These conditions occur during the modeling of diffuse-gray conductive-radiative heat transfer. The problem arises from the aim to optimize the temperature gradient within crystal growth by the physical vapor transport (PVT) method. Based on a minimum...
متن کاملPositivity preserving property for a class of biharmonic elliptic problems
The lack of a general maximum principle for biharmonic equations suggests to study under which boundary conditions the positivity preserving property holds. We show that this property holds in general domains for suitable linear combinations of Dirichlet and Navier boundary conditions. The spectrum of this operator exhibits some unexpected features: radial data may generate nonradial solutions....
متن کاملSemilinear Elliptic Equations and Fixed Points
In this paper, we deal with a class of semilinear elliptic equation in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ R , N ≥ 3, with C boundary. Using a new fixed point result of the Krasnoselskii’s type for the sum of two operators, an existence principle of strong solutions is proved. We give two examples where the nonlinearity can be critical.
متن کاملMultiplicity for a nonlinear fourth order elliptic equation in Maxwell-Chern-Simons vortex theory
We prove the existence of at least two solutions for a fourth order equation, which includes the vortex equations for the U(1) and CP (1) self-dual Maxwell-Chern-Simons models as special cases. Our method is variational, and it relies on an “asymptotic maximum principle” property for a special class of supersolutions to this fourth order equation.
