In this paper, we study the global existence of positive solutions to the norm-preserving non-local heat flow of the porous-media type equations on the compact Riemannian manifold (M, g) with the Cauchy data u0 > 0 on M, where r ≥ 1, p > 1 and λ(t) is chosen to make the L2-norm of the solution u (or a power of u) constant. We show that the limit is an eigenfunction for the Laplacian operator. We use some tricky estimates through the Sobolev imbedding theorem and the Moser iteration method.

Consider the elliptic quasilinear problem:1in Rn, n ≧ 3, whereWe are interested in establishing sufficient conditions on f for the existence of positive solutions u(x) with specified behaviour at ∞. Of special interest to us are criteria which guarantee that u(x) decays at least as fast as |x|−α for some α ≧ 0, given below, in the case f(x, u, ∇u) contains terms of typeThat is: f is of mixed sublinear-super linear type. Our main result is Theorem 3 below which explicitly states sufficient conditions for the existence of such solutions.

Recently, low voltage (≤5kV) scanning electron microscopes have become popular because of their unprecedented advantages, such as minimized charging effects and smaller specimen damage, etc. Perhaps the most important advantage of LVSEM is that they may be able to provide ultrahigh resolution since the interaction volume decreases when electron energy is reduced. It is obvious that no matter how low the operating voltage is, the resolution is always poorer than the probe radius. To achieve 10Å resolution at 5kV (including non-local effects), we would require a probe radius of 5∽6 Å. At low voltages, we can no longer ignore the effects of chromatic aberration because of the increased ratio δV/V. The 3rd order spherical aberration is another major limiting factor. The optimized aperture should be calculated as

This study concerns the existence of positive solutions to classes of boundary value problems of the form−∆u = g(x,u), x ∈ Ω,u(x) = 0, x ∈ ∂Ω,where ∆ denote the Laplacian operator, Ω is a smooth bounded domain in RN (N ≥ 2) with ∂Ω of class C2, and connected, and g(x, 0) < 0 for some x ∈ Ω (semipositone problems). By using the method of sub-super solutions we prove the existence of positive solution to special types of g(x,u).

The boundary value problemis studied with a view to obtaining the existence of positive solutions in C1([0, 1])∩C2((0, 1)). The function f is assumed to be singular in the second variable, with the singularity modeled after the special case f(x, y) = a(x)y−p, p>0.This boundary value problem arises in the search of positive radially symmetric solutions towhere Ω is the open unit ball in ℝN, centered at the origin, Γ is its boundary and |x| is the Euclidean norm of x.

AbstractWe study the existence of positive solutions for fractional elliptic equations of the type (-Δ)1/2u = h(u), u > 0 in (-1,1), u = 0 in ℝ∖(-1,1) where h is a real valued function that behaves like eu2 as u → ∞ . Here (-Δ)1/2 is the fractional Laplacian operator. We show the existence of mountain-pass solution when the nonlinearity is superlinear near t = 0. In case h is concave near t = 0, we show the existence of multiple solutions for suitable range of λ by analyzing the fibering maps and the corresponding Nehari manifold.

SynopsisWe study the blow-up of positive solutions of the Cauchy problem for the semilinear parabolic equationwhere u is a scalar function of the spatial variable x ∈ ℝN and time t > 0, a ∈ ℝV, a ≠ 0, 1 < p and 1 ≦ q. We show that: (a) if p > 1 and 1 ≦ q ≦ p, there always exist solutions which blow up in finite time; (b) if 1 < q ≦ p ≦ min {1 + 2/N, 1 + 2q/(N + 1)} or if q = 1 and 1 < p ≦ l + 2/N, then all positive solutions blow up in finite time; (c) if q > 1 and p > min {1 + 2/N, 1 + 2q/N + 1)}, then global solutions exist; (d) if q = 1 and p > 1 + 2/N, then global solutions exist.

In this study, we continue our study of the Cauchy problem associated with the Brinkman equations [see (1.1) and (1.2) below] which model fluid flow in certain types of porous media. Here, we will consider the flow in the upper half-space \[ \mathbb{R}_{+}^{3}=\left\{\left(x,y,z\right) \in\mathbb{R}^{3}\left\vert z\geqslant 0\right.\right\}, \] under the assumption that the plane $z=0$ is impenetrable to the fluid. This means that we will have to introduce boundary conditions that must be attached to the Brinkman equations. We study local and global well-posedness in appropriate Sobolev spaces introduced below, using Kato's theory for quasilinear equations, parabolic regularization and a comparison principle for the solutions of the problem.

AbstractLet (M, g(t)) be a compact Riemannian manifold and the metric g(t) evolve by the Ricci flow. In the paper, we prove that the eigenvalues of geometric operator −Δφ + $\frac{R}{2}$ are non-decreasing under the Ricci flow for manifold M with some curvature conditions, where Δφ is the Witten Laplacian operator, φ ∈ C2(M), and R is the scalar curvature with respect to the metric g(t). We also derive the evolution of eigenvalues under the normalized Ricci flow. As a consequence, we show that compact steady Ricci breather with these curvature conditions must be trivial.
