Combining the definition of Schwarzian derivative for conformal mappings between Riemannian manifolds given by Osgood and Stowe with that for parametrized curves in Euclidean space given by Ahlfors, we establish injectivity criteria for holomorphic curves φ : D → C. The result can be considered a generalization of a classical condition for univalence of Nehari.

Theorems due to Nehari and Ahlfors give sufficient conditions for the univalence of an analytic function in relation to the growth of its Schwarzian derivative. Nehari's theorem is for the unit disc and was generalized by Ahifors to any simply-connected domain bounded by a quasiconformal circle. In both cases the growth is measured in terms of the hyperbolic metric of the domain. In this paper ...

It is shown that, by a suitable embedding in the standard H1-optimal control problem, the generalized H1-optimal control problem can be recast as a 1-block Nehari problem. Since an explicit solution exists for the latter, there appears to be little need for the iterative polynomial-based solution procedures recently presented in the literature.

In this work we extend an inequality of Nehari to the eigenvalues of weighted quasilinear problems involving the p-laplacian when the weight is a monotonic function. We apply it to different eigenvalue problems.

We study the combined effect of concave and convex nonlinearities on the number of positive solutions for a fractional system involving critical Sobolev exponents. With the help of the Nehari manifold, we prove that the system admits at least two positive solutions when the pair of parameters (λ, μ) belongs to a suitable subset of R.

This article concerns the diffusion system ∂tu−∆xu + V (x)u = g(t, x, v), −∂tv −∆xv + V (x)v = f(t, x, u), where z = (u, v) : R × RN → R2, V (x) ∈ C(RN , R) is a general periodic function, g, f are periodic in t, x and asymptotically linear in u, v at infinity. We find a minimizing Cerami sequence of the energy functional outside the Nehari-Pankov manifold N and therefore obtain ground state so...

In this paper, a quasilinear elliptic system is investigated, which involves concave-convex nonlinearities and nonlinear boundary condition. By Nehari manifold, fibering method and analytic techniques, the existence of multiple nontrivial nonnegative solutions to this equation is verified.

for some α (0≤α< 1). We say that f(z) is in the class ∑C(α) of such functions. The class ∑∗(α) and various other subclasses of ∑ have been studied rather extensively by Nehari and Netanyahu [9], Clunie [4], Pommerenke [11, 12], Miller [7], Royster [13], and others (cf., e.g., Bajpai [2], Goel and Sohi [6], Mogra et al. [8], Uralegaddi and Ganigi [15], Cho et al. [3], Aouf [1], and Uralegaddi an...

In this note we use the Nehari manifold and fibering maps to show existence of positive solutions for a nonlinear biharmonic equation in a bounded smooth domain in Rn, when n = 5, 6, 7. Mathematics Subject Classification: 35J35, 35J40
