Abstract This work, motivated by the rapid developments in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) structures, especially actuators and grippers, analyses the dynamics of a thermo-mechanical system consisting of a horizontal beam joined at one end to a vertical rod. As a result of thermal expansion or vibration of the rod, the other end may come into contact with another part of the MEMS device and that closes an electrical circuit, which is the actuating or switching function of such a beam–rod system. The interaction between the rod's contacting end and the supporting device is described by a normal compliance contact law for the displacements and by an inclusion-type Barber's heat exchange condition for the temperature. The heat-exchange coefficient is a multi-function taking into account the air resistance in the gap when there is no contact and the contact pressure when contact occurs. The model consists of a nonlinear variational inclusion for the temperature coupled with a nonlinear variational equation for the displacements. The existence of a weak solution to the problem is proved by using the Galerkin method, a regularization of Barber's condition with the Yosida approximation of a maximal monotone operator, and a priori estimates.

Abstract.In the present paper we investigate a three-dimensional boundary-contact problem of dynamics for a homogeneous hemitropic elastic medium with regard to friction. We prove the uniqueness theorem using the corresponding Green formulas and positive definiteness of the potential energy. To analyze the existence of solutions we reduce equivalently the problem under consideration to a spatial variational inequality. We consider a special parameter-dependent regularization of this variational inequality which is equivalent to the relevant regularized variational equation depending on a real parameter and study its solvability by the Faedo–Galerkin method. Some a priori estimates for solutions of the regularized variational equation are established and with the help of an appropriate limiting procedure the existence theorem for the original contact problem with friction is proved.

Abstract In this paper, we obtain generalized weighted Sobolev-Morrey estimates with weights from the Muckenhoupt class Ap by establishing boundedness of several important operators in harmonic analysis such as Hardy-Littlewood operators and Calderon-Zygmund singular integral operators in generalized weighted Morrey spaces. As a consequence, a priori estimates for the weak solutions Dirichlet boundary problem uniformly elliptic equations of higher order in generalized weighted Sobolev-Morrey spaces in a smooth bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝn are obtained.

The Rosenau-Korteweg-de Vries equation describes the wave-wave and wave-wall interactions. In this paper, we prove that, as the diffusion parameter is near zero, it coincides with the Korteweg-de Vries equation. The proof relies on deriving suitable a priori estimates together with an application of the Aubin-Lions Lemma.

AbstractIn this paper, we present new estimates for the entropy dissipation of the Landau–Fermi–Dirac equation (with hard or moderately soft potentials) in terms of a weighted relative Fisher information adapted to this equation. Such estimates are used for studying the large time behaviour of the equation, as well as for providing new a priori estimates (in the soft potential case). An important feature of such estimates is that they are uniform with respect to the quantum parameter. Consequently, the same estimations are recovered for the classical limit, that is the Landau equation.

Abstract A priori bounds constitute a crucial and powerful tool in the investigation of initial boundary value problems for linear and nonlinear fractional and integer order differential equations in bounded domains. We present herein a collection of a priori estimates of the solution for an initial boundary value problem for a singular fractional evolution equation (generalized time-fractional wave equation) with mass absorption. The Riemann–Liouville derivative is employed. Results of uniqueness and dependence of the solution upon the data were obtained in two cases, the damped and the undamped case. The uniqueness and continuous dependence (stability of solution) of the solution follows from the obtained a priori estimates in fractional Sobolev spaces. These spaces give what are called weak solutions to our partial differential equations (they are based on the notion of the weak derivatives). The method of energy inequalities is used to obtain different a priori estimates.

Abstract In this work, we consider the density-dependent incompressible inviscid Boussinesq equations in $\mathbb{R}^{N}\ (N\geq 2)$ R N ( N ≥ 2 ) . By using the basic energy method, we first give the a priori estimates of smooth solutions and then get a blow-up criterion. This shows that the maximum norm of the gradient velocity field controls the breakdown of smooth solutions of the density-dependent inviscid Boussinesq equations. Our result extends the known blow-up criteria.

In this paper, we establish global Sobolev a priori estimates for [Formula: see text]-viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic equations as follows: [Formula: see text] by considering minimal integrability condition on the data, i.e. [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] and a regular domain [Formula: see text], and relaxed structural assumptions (weaker than convexity) on the governing operator. Our approach makes use of techniques from geometric tangential analysis, which consists in transporting “fine” regularity estimates from a limiting operator, the Recession profile, associated to [Formula: see text] to the original operator via compactness methods. We devote special attention to the borderline case, i.e. when [Formula: see text]. In such a scenery, we show that solutions admit [Formula: see text] type estimates for their second derivatives.
