We consider nonlinear parabolic equations of the type $$ u_t - div a(x, t, Du)= f(x,t) on \Omega_T = \Omega\times (-T,0), $$ under standard growth conditions on $a$, with $f$ only assumed to be integrable. We prove general decay estimates…

We go further in the investigation of the Robin problem $(P_{\alpha})$: $-\Delta u=a(x)u^{q}$ in $\Omega$, $u\geq0$ in $\Omega$, $\partial_{\nu}u=\alpha u$ on $\partial \Omega$; on a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{N}$, with $a$…

Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\geq 3$) such that $0\in\partial \Omega$. In this memoir, we consider issues of non-existence, existence, and multiplicity of variational solutions in $H_{1,0}^2(\Omega)$ for the…

Here is one of the results obtained in this paper: Let $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n$ be a smooth bounded domain, let $q>1$, with $q<{{n+2}\over {n-2}}$ if $n\geq 3$ and let $\lambda_1$ be the first eigenvalue of the problem $$\cases{-\Delta…

We are concerned with nonexistence results for a class of quasilinear parabolic differential problems with a potential in $\Omega\times(0,+\infty)$, where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain. In particular, we investigate how the behavior of the…

We consider equations of the form $\Delta u +\lambda^2 V(x)e^{\,u}=\rho$ in various two dimensional settings. We assume that $V>0$ is a given function, $\lambda>0$ is a small parameter and $\rho=\mathcal O(1)$ or $\rho\to +\infty$ as…
