QUASILINEAR EQUATIONS USING A LINKING STRUCTURE WITH CRITICAL NONLINEARITIES

It is to establish existence of a weak solution for quasilinear elliptic problems assuming that the nonlinear term is critical.The potential V is bounded from below and above by positive constants.Because we are considering a critical term which interacts with higher eigenvalues for the linear problem,we need to apply a linking theorem.Notice that the lack of compactness,which comes from critical problems and the fact that we are working in the whole space,are some obstacles for us to ensure existence of solutions for quasilinear elliptic problems.The main feature in this article is to restore some compact results which are essential in variational methods.Recall that compactness conditions such as the Palais-Smale condition for the associated energy functional is not available in our setting.This difficulty is overcame by taking into account some fine estimates on the critical level for an auxiliary energy functional.

THE OPTIMAL LARGE TIME BEHAVIOR OF3D QUASILINEAR HYPERBOLIC EQUATIONS WITH NONLINEAR DAMPING

We are concerned with the large-time behavior of 3D quasilinear hyperbolic equations with nonlinear damping.The main novelty of this paper is two-fold.First,we prove the optimal decay rates of the second and third order spatial derivatives of the solution,which are the same as those of the heat equation,and in particular,are faster than ones of previous related works.Second,for well-chosen initial data,we also show that the lower optimal L^(2) convergence rate of the k(∈[0,3])-order spatial derivatives of the solution is(1+t)^(-(2+2k)/4).Therefore,our decay rates are optimal in this sense.The proofs are based on the Fourier splitting method,low-frequency and high-frequency decomposition,and delicate energy estimates.

Existence and Concentration of Sign-Changing Solutions of Quasilinear Choquard Equation

In this paper, we study the following quasilinear equation of choquard type: where A(x,t) is given real functions on RN × R and with N ≥ 3, 1 p N, max{N-2p,1} α N, , and ε > 0 is a small parameter, Iα is the Riesz potential. We establish for small ε the existence of a sequence of sign-changing solutions concentrating near a given local minimum point of the bounded potential function V by using the method of invariant sets of descending flow, perturbation method and truncation technique. .

Standing Waves for Quasilinear Schrödinger Equations with Indefinite Nonlinearity

In this article, we consider quasilinear Schrödinger equations of the form Such equations have been derived as models of several physical phenomena. The nonlinearity here corresponds to the superfluid film equation in plasma physics. Unlike all known results in the literature, the nonlinearity is allowed to be indefinite. It is very interesting from physical and mathematical viewpoint. By mountain pass theorem and some special techniques, we prove the existence of solutions for the quasilinear Schrödinger equations with indefinite nonlinearity. This indefinite problem had never been considered so far. So our main results can be regarded as complementary work in the literature.
