Nonlinear analysis and semilinear elliptic problems by Antonio Ambrosetti, Andrea Malchiodi

By Antonio Ambrosetti, Andrea Malchiodi

Many difficulties in technological know-how and engineering are defined via nonlinear differential equations, which might be notoriously tough to unravel. throughout the interaction of topological and variational principles, equipment of nonlinear research may be able to take on such basic difficulties. This graduate textual content explains a number of the key ideas in a manner that would be favored by means of mathematicians, physicists and engineers. ranging from trouble-free instruments of bifurcation conception and research, the authors hide a couple of extra glossy issues from severe element concept to elliptic partial differential equations. a sequence of Appendices supply handy money owed of various complex issues that might introduce the reader to components of present examine. The booklet is abundantly illustrated and lots of chapters are rounded off with a collection of routines.

Boundary Value Problems: And Partial Differential Equations

Boundary worth difficulties is the prime textual content on boundary worth difficulties and Fourier sequence for execs and scholars in engineering, technological know-how, and arithmetic who paintings with partial differential equations. during this up-to-date version, writer David Powers offers a radical assessment of fixing boundary price difficulties related to partial differential equations via the tools of separation of variables.

Invertible Point Transformations and Nonlinear Differential Equations

The invertible aspect transformation is a robust device within the examine of nonlinear differential and distinction questions. This booklet offers a entire creation to this method. traditional and partial differential equations are studied with this method. The ebook additionally covers nonlinear distinction equations.

Dynamical systems and numerical analysis

This publication unites the research of dynamical platforms and numerical answer of differential equations. the 1st 3 chapters include the weather of the speculation of dynamical platforms and the numerical answer of initial-value difficulties. within the last chapters, numerical tools are formulted as dynamical platforms and the convergence and balance homes of the tools are tested.

Once more, one can show that lim deg(fk , , p) does not depend upon the choice of the sequence fk and thus one can define the degree of f by setting deg(f , , p) = limk deg(fk , , p). An important property of the degree defined above is the invariance by homotopy. An homotopy is a map h = h(λ, x) such that h ∈ C([0, 1] × , Rn ). An homotopy is admissible (with respect to and p), if h(λ, x) = p for all (λ, x) ∈ [0, 1] × ∂ . 5) Homotopy invariance: if h is an admissible homotopy, then deg(h(λ, ·), , p) is constant with respect to λ ∈ [0, 1].

In the definition of the degree, let us choose ϕ in such a way that supp[ϕ] ⊂]0, α1 [. Then ϕ(|f (x) − p|) ≡ 0 on \ 0 and this yields ϕ(|f (x) − p|)Jf (x) dx = ϕ(|f (x) − p|)Jf (x) dx. 0 Since, by definition, the former integral equals deg(f , , p) while the latter equals deg(f , 0 , p), we conclude that deg(f , , p) = deg(f , 0 , p). 7) only. 8) holds. 1). 15 If p is a regular value of f ∈ C 1 ( , Rn ) ∩ C( , Rn ), then deg(f , , p) = sgn[Jf (x)]. 10, is always an integer. As usual, it suffices to consider C 1 maps.

24) has a (positive) solution u such that uε ≤ u ≤ uM . It is also possible to prove that such a u is unique. 4 in Chapter 11. 2 Problems at resonance In this subsection we will deal with a class of elliptic problems at resonance. 25) where f is a bounded function and λ∗ is an eigenvalue of − with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. 25) might have no solution at all. Actually, if u is a 1 We consider smooth sub- and super-solutions, but it would be possible to deal with weak (say H 1 ) sub- and super-solutions.
