The present paper deals with the mixed boundary value problem for elliptic equations with degenerate rank 0. We first give the formulation of the problem and estimates of solutions of the problem, and then prove the existence of solutions of the above problem for elliptic equations by the above estimates and the method of parameter extension. We use the complex method, namely first discuss the corresponding problem for degenerate elliptic complex equations of first order, afterwards discuss the above problem for degenerate elliptic equations of second order

STRONG COMPACTNESS OF APPROXIMATE SOLUTIONS TO DEGENERATE ELLIPTIC-HYPERBOLIC EQUATIONS WITH DISCONTINUOUS FLUX FUNCTION

Under a non-degeneracy condition on the nonlinearities we show that sequences of approximate entropy solutions of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic equations are strongly precompact in the general case of a Caratheodory flux vector. The proofs are based on deriving localization principles for H-measures associated to sequences of measurevalued functions. This main result implies existence of solutions to degenerate parabolic convection-diffusion equations with discontinuous flux. Moreover, it provides a framework in which one can prove convergence of various types of approximate solutions, such as those generated by the vanishing viscosity method and numerical schemes.

Existence and Multiplicity Results for a Degenerate Elliptic Equation

The goal of this paper is to study the multiplicity result of positive solutions of a class of degenerate elliptic equations. On the basis of the mountain pass theorems and the sub- and supersolutions argument for p-Laplacian operators, under suitable conditions on the nonlinearity f（x, s）, we show the following problem：-△pu=λu^α-a（x）u^q in Ω,u│δΩ=0 possesses at least two positive solutions for large λ, where Ω is a bounded open subset of R^N, N ≥ 2, with C^2 boundary, λ is a positive parameter, Ap is the p-Laplacian operator with p 〉 1, α, q are given constants such that p - 1 〈α 〈 q, and a（x） is a continuous positive function in Ω^-.

This paper is focused on studying the structure of solutions bounded from below to degenerate elliptic equations with Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions in unbounded domains.After establishing the weak maximum principles,the global boundary Holder estimates and the boundary Harnack inequalities of the equations,we show that all solutions bounded from below are linear combinations of two special solutions(exponential growth at one end and exponential decay at the other)with a bounded solution to the degenerate equations.

Smoothness of the Gradient of Weak Solutions of Degenerate Linear Equations

Let Q（x） be a nonnegative definite, symmetric matrix such that √Q（X） is Lipschitz con- tinuous. Given a real-valued function b（x） and a weak solution u（x） of div（QVu） = b, we find sufficient conditions in order that √Qu has some first order smoothness. Specifically, if is a bounded open set in Rn, we study when the components of vVu belong to the first order Sobolev space W1＇2（Ω） defined by Sawyer and Wheeden. Alternately we study when each of n first order Lipschitz vector field derivatives Xiu has some first order smoothness if u is a weak solution in Ω of ^-^-1 X^Xiu ＋ b = O. We do not assume that {Xi}is a HSrmander collection of vector fields in ~. The results signal ones for more general equations.

Multiplicity of solutions for the semilinear subelliptic Dirichlet problem

In this paper,we study the semilinear subelliptic equation{−△Xu=f(x,u)+g(x,u)inΩ,u=0 on∂Ω,where△X=−∑m i=1 Xi∗Xi is the self-adjoint Hormander operator associated with the vector fields X=(X_(1),X_(2),...,X_(m))satisfying the Hormander's condition,f(x,u)∈C(Ω×R),g(x,u)is a Carathéodory function onΩ×R,andΩis an open bounded domain in R~n with smooth boundary.Combining the perturbation from the symmetry method with the approaches involving the eigenvalue estimate and the Morse index in estimating the minimax values,we obtain two kinds of existence results for multiple weak solutions to the problem above.Furthermore,we discuss the difference between the eigenvalue estimate approach and the Morse index approach in degenerate situations.Compared with the classical elliptic cases,both approaches here have their own strengths in the degenerate cases.This new phenomenon implies that the results in general degenerate cases would be quite different from the situations in classical elliptic cases.
