We establish the existence of weak solutions of coupled systems of elliptic partial differential equations with quasimonotone nonlinearities in the differential equation and on the boundary.
We consider elliptic systems with superlinear and subcritical boundary conditions and a bifurcation parameter as a multiplicative factor. By combining the rescaling method with degree theory and elliptic regularity theory, we prove the existence of a connected branch of positive weak solutions that bifurcates from infinity as the parameter approaches zero. Furthermore, under additional conditions on the nonlinearities near zero, we obtain a global connected branch of positive solutions bifurcating from zero, which possesses a unique bifurcation point from infinity when the parameter is zero. Finally, we analyze the behavior of this branch and discuss the number of positive weak solutions with respect to the parameter using bifurcation theory, degree theory, and sub- and super-solution methods.
We study the solvability of $(p,q)$-Laplacian problems with nonlinear reaction terms and non-homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. First, we provide a complete description of the spectrum of the eigenvalue problem involving the $(p,q)$-Laplacian with weights and a spectral parameter present in both the differential equation and on the boundary. Then, using variational methods and critical point theory, we prove the existence of weak solutions for the nonlinear problem when the nonlinearities involved remain asymptotically, in some sense, below the first eigenvalue of the $q$-Laplacian problem with weights and a spectral parameter present in both the differential equation and on the boundary. We also establish an existence result for the nonlinear problem when the nonlinearities involved remain asymptotically below the first Steklov-Neumann eigenvalue-line, which is a line connecting the first Steklov and first Neumann eigenvalues for $q$-Laplacian problems with weights and a spectral parameter present either in the differential equation or on the boundary.
We use De Giorgi-Nash-Moser iteration scheme to establish that weak solutions to a coupled system of elliptic equations with critical growth on the boundary are in $L^\infty(\Omega)$. Moreover, we provide an explicit $L^\infty(\Omega)$- estimate of weak solutions with subcritical growth on the boundary, in terms of powers of $H^1(\Omega)$-norms, by combining the elliptic regularity of weak solutions with Gagliardo--Nirenberg interpolation inequality.
We establish an explicit $L^\infty(\Om)$ a priori estimate for weak solutions to subcritical elliptic problems with nonlinearity on the boundary, in terms of the powers of their $H^1(\Om)$ norms. To prove our result, we combine in a novel way Moser type estimates together with elliptic regularity and Gagliardo--Nirenberg interpolation inequality. We illustrate our result with an application to subcritical problems satisfying Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition.
We consider an elliptic problem with nonlinear boundary condition involving nonlinearity with superlinear and subcritical growth at infinity and a bifurcation parameter as a factor. We use re-scaling method, degree theory and continuation theorem to prove that there exists a connected branch of positive solutions bifurcating from infinity when the parameter goes to zero. Moreover, if the nonlinearity satisfies additional conditions near zero, we establish a global bifurcation result, and discuss the number of positive solution(s) with respect to the parameter using bifurcation theory and degree theory.
