We study semilinear elliptic equations with Hardy potential $\mathrm{(E)} \; -L_\mu u+u^q=0$ in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^N$. Here $q>1$, $L_\mu=\Delta+\frac{\mu}{\delta_\Omega^2}$ and…

This work reformulates the complete electrode model of electrical impedance tomography in order to enable more efficient numerical solution. The model traditionally assumes constant contact conductances on all electrodes, which leads to a…
Let $\Omega $ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R} ^N $, and let $u\in C^1 (\overline{\Omega }) $ be a weak solution of the following overdetermined BVP: $-\nabla (g(|\nabla u|)|\nabla u|^{-1} \nabla u )=f(|x|,u)$, $ u>0 $ in $\Omega $ and…
