In this paper we prove the existence of a positive solution of the nonlinear and nonlocal elliptic equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$ \[ (-\Delta)^s u =\varepsilon h u^q+u^{2_s^*-1} \] in the convex case $1\leq q<2_s^*-1$, where $…
Using mountain pass arguments and the Karsuh-Kuhn-Tucker Theorem, we prove the existence of at least two positive solution of the anisotropic discrete Dirichlet boundary value problem. Our results generalize and improve those of [15].
We consider the $2m$-th order elliptic boundary value problem $Lu=f(x,u)$ on a bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset\R^N$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions on $\partial\Omega$. The operator $L$ is a uniformly elliptic linear operator of…

The present paper establishes a certain duality between the Dirichlet and Regularity problems for elliptic operators with $t$-independent complex bounded measurable coefficients ($t$ being the transversal direction to the boundary). To be…
In this short note, we consider the Dirichlet problem associated to an even order elliptic system with antisymmetric first order potential. Given any continuous boundary data, we show that weak solutions are continuous up to boundary.
In the present paper we investigate the inverse problem of identifying simultaneously the diffusion matrix, source term and boundary condition as well as the state in the Neumann boundary value problem for an elliptic partial differential…

We use some tools from nonlinear analysis to study two examples of singular stochastic elliptic PDEs that cannot be solved by the contraction principle or the Schauder fixed point theorem. Let $\xi$ stand for a spatial white noise on a…
A Lax-Oleinik type explicit formula for 1D scalar balance laws has been recently obtained for the pure initial value problem by Adimurthi et al. in [1]. In this article, by introducing a suitable boundary functional, we establish a…
In this paper we derive a necessary optimality condition for a local optimal solution of some control problems. These optimal control problems are governed by a semi-linear Vettsel boundary value problem of a linear elliptic equation. The…
The second-grade fluid equations are a model for viscoelastic fluids, with two parameters: $\alpha > 0$, corresponding to the elastic response, and $\nu > 0$, corresponding to viscosity. Formally setting these parameters to $0$ reduces the…
We provide new general methods in the calculus of variations for the anisotropic Plateau problem in arbitrary dimension and codimension. A new direct proof of Almgren's 1968 existence result is presented; namely, we produce from a class of…
We establish two Phragm\'en--Lindel\"{o}f theorems for a fully nonlinear elliptic equation. We consider a dynamic boundary condition that includes both spatial variable and time derivative terms. As a spatial term, we consider a non-linear…
In this work we demonstrate that a class of some one and two phase free boundary problems can be recast as nonlocal parabolic equations on a submanifold. The canonical examples would be one-phase Hele Shaw flow, as well as its two-phase…
We present a constructive method to devise boundary conditions for solutions of second-order elliptic equations so that these solutions satisfy specific qualitative properties such as: (i) the norm of the gradient of one solution is bounded…
