The Poisson equation in homogeneous Sobolev spaces
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2004, Issue 36, Page 1909-1921, 2004., 2004 We consider Poisson′s equation in an n‐dimensional exterior domain G(n ≥ 2) with a sufficiently smooth boundary. We prove that for external forces and boundary values given in certain Lq(G)‐spaces there exists a solution in the homogeneous Sobolev space S2,q(G), containing functions being local in Lq(G) and having second‐order derivatives in Lq(G ...

Generalized Cahn‐Hilliard equations based on a microforce balance
Journal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2003, Issue 4, Page 165-185, 2003., 2003 We present some models of Cahn‐Hilliard equations based on a microforce balance proposed by M. Gurtin. We then study the existence and uniqueness of solutions.

Positive solutions of higher order quasilinear elliptic equations
Abstract and Applied Analysis, Volume 7, Issue 8, Page 423-452, 2002., 2002 The higher order quasilinear elliptic equation −Δ(Δp(Δu)) = f(x, u) subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions may have unique and regular positive solution. If the domain is a ball, we obtain a priori estimate to the radial solutions via blowup. Extensions to systems and general domains are also presented. The basic ingredients are the maximum principle,

Abstract and Applied Analysis, Volume 7, Issue 10, Page 547-561, 2002., 2002 We study the location of the peaks of solution for the critical growth problem −ε 2Δu+u=f(u)+u 2*−1, u > 0 in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded domain; 2* = 2N/(N − 2), N ≥ 3, is the critical Sobolev exponent and f has a behavior like up, 1 < p < 2* − 1.

Uniqueness of weak solution for nonlinear elliptic equations in divergence form
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 23, Issue 5, Page 313-318, 2000., 2000 We study the uniqueness of weak solutions for quasilinear elliptic equations in divergence form. Some counterexamples are given to show that our uniqueness result cannot be improved in the general case.

A Picard‐Maclaurin theorem for initial value PDEs
Abstract and Applied Analysis, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 47-63, 2000., 2000 In 1988, Parker and Sochacki announced a theorem which proved that the Picard iteration, properly modified, generates the Taylor series solution to any ordinary differential equation (ODE) on ℜn with a polynomial generator. In this paper, we present an analogous theorem for partial differential equations (PDEs) with polynomial generators and analytic ...

Oscillatory and periodic solutions to a diffusion equation of neutral type
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 313-348, 1999., 1999 We examine a PDE with piecewise constant time delay. The equation is of neutral type since it contains the derivative ut at different values of the t‐argument. Furthermore, the argument deviation changes its sign within intervals of unit length, so that the given PDE is alternately of retarded and advanced type.

Nonlinear functional integrodifferential equations in Hilbert space
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 22, Issue 4, Page 847-854, 1999., 1999 Let X be a Hilbert space and let Ω ⊂ Rn be a bounded domain with smooth boundary ∂Ω. We establish the existence and norm estimation of solutions for the parabolic partial functional integro‐differential equation in X by using the fundamental solution.

Multiple solutions for a problem with resonance involving the p‐Laplacian
Abstract and Applied Analysis, Volume 3, Issue 1-2, Page 191-201, 1998., 1998 In this paper we will investigate the existence of multiple solutions for the problem where Δpu = div(|∇u|p−2∇u) is the p‐Laplacian operator, Ω⫅ℝN is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, h and g are bounded functions, N ≥ 1 and 1 < p < ∞. Using the Mountain Pass Theorem and the Ekeland Variational Principle, we will show the existence of at least ...

Boundary value problems for the diffusion equation with piecewise continuous time delay
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 20, Issue 1, Page 187-195, 1997., 1996 A study is made of partial differential equations with piecewise constant arguments. Boundary value problems for three types of equations are discussed delayed; alternately of advanced and retarded type; and most importantly, an equation of neutral type (that is, including the derivative at different values of time t).
