In this article we implement a method for the computation of a nonlinear elliptic problem with nonstandard growth driven by the $p(x)-$Laplacian operator. Our implementation is based in the {\em decomposition--coordination} method that…
We establish the existence of at least two solutions of the {\it Prandtl-Batchelor} like elliptic problem driven by a power nonlinearity and a singular term. The associated energy functional is nondifferentiable and hence the usual…

We study viscosity solutions to a system of nonlinear degenerate parabolic partial integro-differential equations with interconnected obstacles. This type of problem occurs in the context of optimal switching problems when the dynamics of…
We summarise three applications of the obstacle problem to membrane contact, elastoplastic torsion and cavitation modelling, and show how the resulting models can be solved using mixed finite elements. It is challenging to construct fixed…
