This paper generalizes the results of [13] and then provides an interesting example. We construct a family of $W$-like maps $\{W_a\}$ with a turning fixed point having slope $s_1$ on one side and $-s_2$ on the other. Each $W_a$ has an…

We study the regularity of minimizers to the functional \[ J(w)=\int_{\Omega} a^{ij}w_iw_j + Q\chi_{\{w>0\}}, \] over a bounded domain $\Omega$ and among the class of nonnegative functions in $W^{1,2}(\Omega)$ with prescribed boundary data.…

Assume that $Au=f,\quad (1)$ is a solvable linear equation in a Hilbert space $H$, $A$ is a linear, closed, densely defined, unbounded operator in $H$, which is not boundedly invertible, so problem (1) is ill-posed. It is proved that the…
