In this paper we give conditions for the existence of, and describe the asymtotic behavior of, radial positive solutions of the nonlinear elliptic equation of Emden-Fowler type with convection term ∆_p u + 𝛼|u|^q-1u + 𝛽x.∇(|u|^q-1u) = 0 for x ∈ ℝ^N, where p > 2, q > 1, N ≥ 1, 𝛼 > 0, 𝛽 > 0 and ∆_p is the p-Laplacian operator. In particular, we determine ${\lim}_{r{\rightarrow}}{\infty}\,r^{\frac{p}{q+1-p}}\,u(r)$ when $\frac{{\alpha}}{{\beta}}$ > N > p and $q\,{\geq}\,{\frac{N(p-1)+p}{N-p}}$.

It is well known that if P(x,D) is an elliptic differential operator, with real analytic coefficients, and P(x,D)u = 0 in an open, connected subset .ohm..mem.R$^{n}$ , then u is real analytic in .ohm. Hence, if there exists x$_{0}$ .mem..ohm. such that u vanishes of .inf. order at x$_{0}$ , u must be identically 0. If a differential operator P(x, D) has the above property, we say that p(x,D) has the strong unique continuation property (s.u.c.p.). If, on the other hand, P(x,D)u = 0 in .ohm., and u = 0 in .ohm.', an open subset of .ohm., implies that u = 0 in .ohm. we say that P(x,D)u = 0 in .ohm., and suppu .contnd. K .contnd. .ohm implies that u = 0 in .ohm. we sat that P(x,D) has the weak unique continuation property (m.u.c.p.).

A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardlogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator.

In this paper, we study some characterizations of unbounded domains. Among these, so-called G-domain is introduced by Cabre for the Aleksandrov-Bakelman-Pucci maximum principle of second order linear elliptic operator in a non-divergence form. This domain is generalized to wG-domain by Vitolo for the maximum principle of an unbounded domain, which contains G-domain. We study the properties of these domains and compare some other characterizations. We prove that sA-domain is wG-domain, but using the Cantor set, we are able to construct a example which is wG-domain but not sA-domain.

We prove that for any continuous function f on the s-harmonic (1{\infty})$ boundary of a complete Riemannian manifold M, there exists a solution, which is a limit of a sequence of bounded energy finite solutions in the sense of supremum norm, for a certain elliptic operator A on M whose boundary value at each s-harmonic boundary point coincides with that of f. If $E_1,\;E_2,...,E_{\iota}$ are s-nonparabolic ends of M, then we also prove that there is a one to one correspondence between the set of bounded energy finite solutions for A on M and the Cartesian product of the sets of bounded energy finite solutions for A on $E_i$ which vanish at the boundary ${\partial}E_{\iota}\;for\;{\iota}=1,2,...,{\iota}$

In this paper, we deal with the discrete p-Laplacian operators with a potential term having the smallest nonnegative eigenvalue. Such operators are classified as its smallest eigenvalue is positive or zero. We discuss differences between them such as an existence of solutions of p-Laplacian equations on networks and properties of the energy functional. Also, we give some examples of Poisson equations which suggest a difference between linear types and nonlinear types. Finally, we study characteristics of the set of a potential those involving operator has the smallest positive eigenvalue.

We give alternative proof of the existence theorem for certain elliptic systems describing competing interactions with nonlinear di usion. The existence of positive solution depends on the sign of the principal eigenvalue of suitable operators of Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger type. If the sign of such operators are both positive, then system has a positive solution. The main tool employed is the fixed point index of compact operator on positive cones.

We are concerned with elliptic equations in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$, driven by a non-local integro-differential operator, which involves the fractional Laplacian. The main aim of this paper is to prove the existence of small solutions for our problem with negative energy in the sense that the sequence of solutions converges to 0 in the $L^{\infty}$-norm by employing the regularity type result on the $L^{\infty}$-boundedness of solutions and the modified functional method.

Gradient recovery techniques for the second order elliptic boundary value problem are well known. In particular, the Midpoint and the Vertex Recovery Operator have been studied by various authors and under suitable assumptions on the regularity of the unknown solution superconvergence property of these recovered gradients have been proved. In this paper we extend these results to the recovered gradient of the finite element approximation to a model initial-boundary value problem, and go on to prove superconvergence result for this recovered gradient in a discrete (in time) error norm.

Using Green's theorem, elliptic boundary value problems can be converted to boundary integral equations. A numerical methods for boundary integral equations are boundary elementary method(BEM). BEM has advantages over finite element method(FEM) whenever the fundamental solutions are known. Helmholtz type equations arise naturally in many physical applications. In a boundary integral formulation for the exterior Neumann there occurs a hypersingular operator which exhibits a strong singularity like $\frac{1}{|x-y|^3}$ and hence is not an integrable function. In this paper we are going to remove this hypersingularity by reducing the regularity of test functions.
