  • A loop type component in the non-negative solutions set of an indefinite elliptic problem
    Humberto Ramos Quoirin; Kenichiro Umezu, We prove the existence of a loop type component of non-negative solutions for an indefinite elliptic equation with a homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. This result complements our previous results obtained in [12], where the existence of another loop type component was established in a different situation. Our proof combines local and global bifurcation theory, rescaling and regularizing arguments, a priori bounds, and Whyburn's topological method. A further investigation of the loop type component established in [12] is also provided., American Institute of Mathematical Sciences

  • Positive solutions of an elliptic Neumann problem with a sublinear indefinite nonlinearity
    Uriel Kaufmann; Humberto Ramos Quoirin; Kenichiro Umezu, Let Ω ⊂ RN (N≥ 1) be a bounded and smooth domain and a: Ω → R be a sign-changing weight satisfying ∫ ΩaOpenSPiltSPi 0. We prove the existence of a positive solution uq for the problem [Equation not available: see fulltext.]if q0OpenSPiltSPi qOpenSPiltSPi 1 , for some q0= q0(a) CloseSPigtSPi 0. In doing so, we improve the existence result previously established in Kaufmann et al. (J Differ Equ 263:4481–4502, 2017). In addition, we provide the asymptotic behavior of uq as q→ 1 -. When Ω is a ball and a is radial, we give some explicit conditions on q and a ensuring the existence of a positive solution of (Pa , q). We also obtain some properties of the set of q’s such that (Pa , q) admits a solution which is positive on Ω ¯. Finally, we present some results on nonnegative solutions having dead cores. Our approach combines bifurcation techniques, a priori bounds and the sub-supersolution method., Birkhauser Verlag AG

  • Positivity results for indefinite sublinear elliptic problems via a continuity argument
    U. Kaufmann; H. Ramos Quoirin; K. Umezu, We establish a positivity property for a class of semilinear elliptic problems involving indefinite sublinear nonlinearities. Namely, we show that any nontrivial nonnegative solution is positive for a class of problems the strong maximum principle does not apply to. Our approach is based on a continuity argument combined with variational techniques, the sub and supersolutions method and some a priori bounds. Both Dirichlet and Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions are considered. As a byproduct, we deduce some existence and uniqueness results. Finally, as an application, we derive some positivity results for indefinite concave-convex type problems. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved., ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE

  • An indefinite concave-convex equation under a Neumann boundary condition I
    Humberto Ramos Quoirin; Kenichiro Umezu, We investigate the problem (P (lambda)) -Delta u = lambda b(x)|u| (q-2) u + a(x)|u| (p-2) u in Omega, a,u/a,n = 0 on a,Omega, where Omega is a bounded smooth domain in R (N) (N ae<yen> 2), 1 < q < 2 < p, lambda a R, and a, b a with 0 < alpha < 1. Under certain indefinite type conditions on a and b, we prove the existence of two nontrivial nonnegative solutions for small |lambda|. We then characterize the asymptotic profiles of these solutions as lambda -> 0, which in some cases implies the positivity and ordering of these solutions. In addition, this asymptotic analysis suggests the existence of a loop type component in the non-negative solutions set. We prove the existence of such a component in certain cases, via a bifurcation and a topological analysis of a regularized version of (P (lambda))., HEBREW UNIV MAGNES PRESS

  • An Indefinite concave-convex equation under a Neumann boundary condition II
    Humberto Ramos Quoirin; Kenichiro Umezu, We proceed with the investigation of the problem
    (P-lambda) -Delta u = lambda b(x)vertical bar u vertical bar(q-2)u + a(x)vertical bar u vertical bar(p-2)u in Omega, a partial derivative/partial derivative n = 0 on partial derivative Omega,
    where Omega is a bounded smooth domain in R-N (N >= 2), 1 < q < 2 < p, lambda is an element of R, and a, b is an element of C-alpha(<(Omega)over bar>) with 0 < alpha < 1. Dealing now with the case b >= 0, b 0, we show the existence (and several properties) of an unbounded subcontinuum of nontrivial nonnegative solutions of (P-lambda). Our approach is based on a priori bounds, a regularisation procedure, and Whyburn's topological method., JULIUSZ SCHAUDER CTR NONLINEAR STUDIES

  • On a concave-convex elliptic problem with a nonlinear boundary condition
    Humberto Ramos Quoirin; Kenichiro Umezu, We investigate an indefinite superlinear elliptic equation coupled with a sublinear Neumann boundary condition (depending on a positive parameter ), which provides a concave-convex nature to the problem. We establish a global multiplicity result for positive solutions in the spirit of Ambrosetti-Brezis-Cerami and obtain their asymptotic profiles as . Furthermore, we also analyse the case where the nonlinearity is concave. Our arguments are based on a bifurcation analysis, a comparison principle, and variational techniques., SPRINGER HEIDELBERG

  • Positive steady states of an indefinite equation with a nonlinear boundary condition: existence, multiplicity, stability and asymptotic profiles
    Humberto Ramos Quoirin; Kenichiro Umezu, We investigate positive steady states of an indefinite superlinear reaction-diffusion equation arising from population dynamics, coupled with a nonlinear boundary condition. Both the equation and the boundary condition depend upon a positive parameter lambda, which is inversely proportional to the diffusion rate. We establish several multiplicity results when the diffusion rate is large and analyze the asymptotic profiles and the stability properties of these steady states as the diffusion rate grows to infinity. In particular, our results show that in some cases bifurcation from zero and from infinity occur at lambda = 0. Our approach combines variational and bifurcation techniques., SPRINGER HEIDELBERG

  • Bifurcation for a logistic elliptic equation with nonlinear boundary conditions: A limiting case
    Humberto Ramos Quoirin; Kenichiro Umezu, We investigate bifurcation from the zero solution for a logistic elliptic equation with a sign-definite nonlinear boundary condition. In view of the lack of regularity of the term on the boundary, the abstract theory on bifurcation from simple eigenvalues due to Crandall and Rabinowitz does not apply. A regularization procedure and a topological method due to Whyburn are used to prove the existence and the global behavior at infinity of a subcontinuum of nontrivial non-negative weak solutions. The direction of the bifurcation component at zero is also investigated. This paper treats a limiting case of our previous work [19], where the case of sign-changing nonlinear boundary conditions is considered. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

  • The effects of indefinite nonlinear boundary conditions on the structure of the positive solutions set of a logistic equation
    Humberto Ramos Quoirin; Kenichiro Umezu, We investigate a semilinear elliptic equation with a logistic nonlinearity and an indefinite nonlinear boundary condition, both depending on a parameter A. Overall, we analyze the effect of the indefinite nonlinear boundary condition on the structure of the positive solutions set. Based on variational and bifurcation techniques, our main results establish the existence of three nontrivial non-negative solutions for some values of A., as well as their asymptotic behavior. These results suggest that the positive solutions set contains an S-shaped component in some case, as well as a combination of a C-shaped and an S-shaped components in another case.

  • Global structure of supercritical bifurcation with turning points for the logistic elliptic equation with nonlinear boundary conditions
    Kenichiro Umezu, In this paper, we give rather complete descriptions of the global bifurcation diagrams of positive solutions for the logistic elliptic equation with nonlinear boundary conditions in three cases of an included weight function. Besides the abstract theory of local and global bifurcation, careful observation of the reduced bifurcation equation in finite dimensional space and blow up arguments for the corresponding initial boundary value problem play an important role in characterizing the global behavior of the bifurcating positive solutions for values of a parameter. The critical case is dealt with by using a topological technique proposed by Whyburn. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • Bifurcation approach to a logistic elliptic equation with a homogeneous incoming flux boundary condition
    Kenichiro Umezu, In this paper, we consider a semilinear elliptic boundary value problem in a smooth bounded domain, having the so-called logistic nonlinearity that originates from population dynamics, with a nonlinear boundary condition. Although the logistic nonlinearity has an absorption effect in the problem, the nonlinear boundary condition is induced by the homogeneous incoming flux on the boundary. The objective of our study is to analyze the existence of a bifurcation component of positive solutions from trivial solutions and its asymptotic behavior and stability. We perform this analysis using the method developed by Lyapunov and Schmidt, based on a scaling argument. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved., ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE

  • Global bifurcation results for semilinear elliptic boundary value problems with indefinite weights and nonlinear boundary conditions
    Kenichiro Umezu, We investigate the global nature of bifurcation components of positive solutions of a general class of semilinear elliptic boundary value problems with nonlinear boundary conditions and having linear terms with sign-changing coefficients. We first show that there exists a subcontinuum, i.e., a maximal closed and connected component, emanating from the line of trivial solutions at a simple principal eigenvalue of a linearized eigenvalue problem. We next consider sufficient conditions such that the subcontinuum is unbounded in some space for a semilinear elliptic problem arising from population dynamics. Our approach to establishing the existence of the subcontinuum is based on the global bifurcation theory proposed by Lpez-Gmez. We also discuss an a priori bound of solutions and deduce from it some results on the multiplicity of positive solutions., BIRKHAUSER VERLAG AG

    Kenichiro Umezu, This paper studies blowing-up properties of a unique positive principal eigenvalue for a linear elliptic eigenvalue problem with an indefinite weight function and Neumann boundary condition. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the blowing-up property are discussed, based on the variational characterization of the unique positive principal eigenvalue. A counterexample is constructed, which shows that a known necessary and sufficient condition for the blowing-up property in the Dirichlet boundary condition case no longer remains true in the Neumann case., The Royal Society of Edinburgh
