Research paper thumbnail of Local boundedness of solutions to some anisotropic elliptic systems

Contemporary Mathematics, 2013

ABSTRACT The authors present a method to get local boundedness for the minimizers u:Ω⊂ℝ n →ℝ m , ... more ABSTRACT The authors present a method to get local boundedness for the minimizers u:Ω⊂ℝ n →ℝ m , n≥2, m≥1, u∈W 1,1 (Ω;ℝ m ), of the integral ∫ Ω f(x,Du)dx without assuming any condition on the boundary data. The integrand is supposed to have anisotropic behaviour with respect to the m×n matrix ξ=(ξ i α ) ∑ i=1 n |ξ i | p i ≤f(x,ξ)≤c1+∑ i=1 n |ξ i | q with suitable exponents 1≤p i ≤q· The machinery relies on reduction to the corresponding Euler system and application of the Moser iteration technique.

First, the problem Δu+f(u)=h in G, u=ϕ on ∂G, under suitable assumptions on f, and where G is an open bounded domain in ℝ N , is studied, and results in the very well-known paper by A. Ambrosetti and G. Prodi [Ann. Mat. Pura Appl., IV. Ser. 93, 231- 246 (1972; Zbl 0288.35020)] are extended to the case ϕ≠0. In section 2, results asserting the existence of exactly three solutions due to A. Ambrosetti and G. Mancini [Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 3, 635-645 (1979; Zbl 0433.35025)] for h=0 and ϕ=0 are extended to small h and ϕ. Finally, it is shown that the problem u '' +f(u)=0, where f is C 2 and f ' (t)<1, has as many 2π- periodic solutions as zeroes has f.

Die Verff. beweisen Abschätzungen für ess sup u, wobei u die positive, L 2 -normierte Eigenfunktion zum 1. Eigenwert des Problems (1) ist. Eine der Abschätzungen gilt nur für m=3, die andere für 2≤m<6. Das Maximum von u kann jeweils allein durch den Eigenwert und das Maß von G abgeschätzt werden. Der Beweis arbeitet mit einer Symmetrisierungs-Technik (rearrangement of functions) und stützt sich wesentlich auf ein Ergebnis von G. Talenti [Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa, Cl. Sci., IV. Ser. 3, 697-718 (1976; Zbl 0341.35031)].
