Eigenvalues of the p ( x )-biharmonic operator with indefinite weight

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the nonlinear eigenvalue problem and proved the existence of a continuous family of eigenvalues, based on the mountain pass lemma and Ekeland's variational principle.
Abstract: In this article, we consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem: $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\Delta(|\Delta u|^{p(x)-2} \Delta u)=\lambda V(x)|u|^{q(x)-2}u,\quad{\rm in} \,\,\Omega\\ u=\Delta u=0, \qquad\qquad\qquad\quad\,\quad\,{\rm on}\,\,\partial \Omega,\end{array} \right.$$ where $${\Omega}$$ is a bounded domain of $${\mathbb{R}^N}$$ with smooth boundary, $${\lambda}$$ is a positive real number, $${p,\, q: \overline{\Omega} \rightarrow (1,+\infty)}$$ are continuous functions, and V is an indefinite weight function. Considering different situations concerning the growth rates involved in the above quoted problem, we prove the existence of a continuous family of eigenvalues. The proofs of the main results are based on the mountain pass lemma and Ekeland’s variational principle.

Abstract: This paper analyzes the nonlocal elliptic system involving the p(x)-biharmonic operator. We give the corresponding variational structure of the problem, and then by means of Ricceri’s Variational theorem and the definition of general Lebesgue-Sobolev space, we obtain sufficient conditions for the infinite solutions to this problem.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the existence of nonsmooth weak solutions to a class of elliptic equations involving a general nonlocal integrodifferential operator LAK, two real parameters, and two weight functions, which can be sign-changing.
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the existence of nontrivial weak solutions to a class of elliptic equations involving a general nonlocal integrodifferential operator LAK, two real parameters, and two weight functions, which can be sign-changing. Considering different situations concerning the growth of the nonlinearities involved in the problem (P), we prove the existence of two nontrivial distinct solutions and the existence of a continuous family of eigenvalues. The proofs of the main results are based on ground state solutions using the Nehari method, Ekeland’s variational principle, and the direct method of the calculus of variations. The difficulties arise from the fact that the operator LAK is nonhomogeneous and the nonlinear term is undefined.

TL;DR: A functional with variable exponent, which provides a model for image denoising, enhancement, and restoration, is studied and the existence, uniqueness, and long-time behavior of the proposed model are established.
Abstract: We study a functional with variable exponent, $1\leq p(x)\leq 2$, which provides a model for image denoising, enhancement, and restoration. The diffusion resulting from the proposed model is a combination of total variation (TV)-based regularization and Gaussian smoothing. The existence, uniqueness, and long-time behavior of the proposed model are established. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the model in image restoration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a duality method in the theory of averaging of nonlinear variational problems with stochastic Lagrangians and derived duality formulas that take account of the regularity problem.
Abstract: Duality methods in the theory of averaging of nonlinear variational problems are developed. The questions of a general nature that are discussed include a detailed analysis of the concept of regularity, an example of a nonregular Lagrangian, and the derivation of duality formulas that take account of the regularity problem. The main content is concerned with the averaging of variational problems with stochastic Lagrangians. Three groups of questions are investigated: 1) averaging of Lagrangians of a general form; 2) averaging of the Lagrangians of plasticity (the theory of the limit load); and 3) averaging of degenerate Lagrangians (problems with random soft or rigid inclusions).
