Exact Multiplicity of Sign-Changing Solutions for a Class of Second-Order Dirichlet Boundary Value Problem with Weight Function
Using bifurcation techniques and Sturm comparison theorem, we establish exact multiplicity results of sign-changing or constant sign solutions for the boundary value problems uâł+a(t)f(u)=0, tâ(0, 1), u(0)=0, and u(1)=0, where fâC(â,â) satisfies f(0)=0 and the limits fâ=lim|s|ââ(f(s)/s), f0=lim|s|â0(f(s)/s)â{0,â}. Weight function a(t)âC1[0,1] satisfies a(t)>0 on [0,1]
Nonlinear Differential Equations on Bounded and Unbounded Domains
Differential equations represent one of the strongest connections between Mathematics and real life. This is due to the fact that almost all the physical phenomena, as well as many other in economy, biology or chemistry, are modelled by differential equations.
This Thesis includes a detailed study of nonlinear differential equations, both on bounded and unbounded domains.
In particular, we analyze the qualitative properties of the solutions of nonlinear differential equations, focusing on the study of constant sign solutions on the whole domain of definition or, at least, on some subset of it.
The main technique is based on the construction of an abstract formulation included into functional analysis, in which the solutions of the differential equations coincide with the fixed points of certain operators
Asymmetric Robin problems with indefinite potential and concave terms
We consider a parametric semilinear Robin problem driven by the Laplacian
plus an indefinite and unbounded potential. In the reaction, we have the
competing effects of a concave term appearing with a negative sign and of an
asymmetric asymptotically linear term which is resonant in the negative
direction. Using variational methods together with truncation and perturbation
techniques and Morse theory (critical groups) we prove two multiplicity
theorems producing four and five respectively nontrivial smooth solutions when
the parameter is small
On the solvability of a boundary value problem for p-Laplacian differential equations
Using barrier strip conditions, we study the existence of -solutions of the boundary value problem where . The question of the existence of positive monotone solutions is also affected
Existence and multiplicity of solutions to boundary value problems associated with nonlinear first order planar systems
The monograph is devoted to the study of nonlinear first order systems in the plane where the principal term is the gradient of a positive and positively 2-homogeneous Hamiltonian (or the convex combination of two of such gradients). After some preliminaries about positively 2-homogeneous autonomous systems, some results of existence and multiplicity of T-periodic solutions are presented in case of bounded or sublinear nonlinear perturbations. Our attention is mainly focused on the occurrence of resonance phenomena, and the corresponding results rely essentially on conditions of Landesman-Lazer or Ahmad-Lazer-Paul type. The techniques used are predominantly topological, exploiting the theory of coincidence degree and the use of the Poincar\ue9-Birkhoff fixed point theorem. At the end, other boundary conditions, including the Sturm-Liouville ones, are taken into account, giving the corresponding existence and multiplicity results in a nonresonant situation via the shooting method and topological arguments
