In the present paper we consider an abstract partial dif-ferential equation of the form $\frac{\partial^2u}{{\partial}t^2}-\frac{\partial^2u}{{\partial}x^2}+A(x.t)u=f(x, t)$, where ${A(x, t):(x, t){\epsilon}\bar{G} }$ is a family of linear closed operators and $G=GU{\partial}G$, G is a suitable bounded region in the (x, t)-plane with bound-are ${\partial}G$. It is assumed that u is given on the boundary ${\partial}G$. The objective of this paper is to study the considered Dirichlet problem for a wide class of operators $A(x, t)$. A Dirichlet problem for non-elliptic partial differential equations of higher orders is also considerde.

Let $N{\geq}1$ and p > 1. Let ${\Omega}$ be a domain of $\mathbb{R}^N$. In this article we shall establish Kato's inequalities for quasilinear degenerate elliptic operators of the form $A_pu$ = divA(x,$\nabla$u) for $u{\in}K_p({\Omega})$, ), where $K_p({\Omega})$ is an admissible class and $A(x,\xi)\;:\;{\Omega}{\times}\mathbb{R}^N{\rightarrow}\mathbb{R}^N$ is a mapping satisfying some structural conditions. If p = 2 for example, then we have $K_2({\Omega})\;= \;\{u\;{\in}\;L_{loc}^1({\Omega})\;:\;\partial_ju,\;\partial_{j,k}^2u\;{\in}\;L_{loc}^1({\Omega})\;for\;j,k\;=\;1,2,{\cdots},N\}$. Then we shall prove that $A_p{\mid}u{\mid}\;\geq$ (sgn u) $A_pu$ and $A_pu^+\;\geq\;(sgn^+u)^{p-1}\;A_pu$ in D'(${\Omega}$) with $u\;\in\;K_p({\Omega})$. These inequalities are called Kato's inequalities provided that p = 2. The class of operators $A_p$ contains the so-called p-harmonic operators $L_p\;=\;div(\mid{{\nabla}u{\mid}^{p-2}{\nabla}u)$ for $A(x,\xi)={\mid}\xi{\mid}^{p-2}\xi$.

Using variational methods, we prove some results on the nonexistence and multiplicity of weak solutions for a class of semilinear elliptic systems of two equations involving Grushin type operators with sign-changing nonlinearities. We also shows that the similar results can be obtained for systems of m equations, where m is arbitrary.

We consider the boundary value problem with a Dirichlet condition for a second order linear uniformly elliptic operator in a non-divergence form. We study some properties of a barrier at infinity which was introduced by Meyers and Serrin to investigate a solution in an exterior domains. Also, we construct a modified barrier for more general domain than an exterior domain.

In this article, we consider a singular and a degenerate elliptic operators in a divergence form. The singularities exist on a part of boundary, and comparable to the logarithmic distance function or its inverse. If we assume that the operator can be treated in a pointwise sense than distribution sense, with this operator we obtain a priori Harnack continuity near the boundary. In the proof we transform the singular elliptic operator to uniformly bounded elliptic operator with unbounded first order terms. We study this type of estimations considering a De Giorgi conjecture. In his conjecture, he proposed a certain ellipticity condition to guarantee a continuity of a solution.

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.

The ill-posed elliptic wave propagation problems can be transformed into well-posed initial value problems of the reflection and transmission operators characterizing the material structure of the given model by the combination of wave field splitting and invariant imbedding methods. In general, the derived scattering operator equations are of first-order in range, nonlinear, nonlocal, and stiff and oscillatory with a subtle fixed and movable singularity structure. The phase space and path integral analysis reveals that construction and reconstruction algorithms depend crucially on a detailed symbol analysis of the scattering operators. Some information about the singularity structure of the scattering operator symbols is presented and analyzed in the transversely homogeneous limit.

In this paper, we study the solvability of the nonlinear Dirichlet problem with sum of the operators of independent non standard growths $$-div\({\mid}{\nabla}u{\mid}^{p_1(x)-2}{\nabla}u\)-\sum\limits^n_{i=1}D_i\({\mid}u{\mid}^{p_0(x)-2}D_iu\)+c(x,u)=h(x),\;{\in}{\Omega}$$ in a bounded domain ${\Omega}{\subset}{\mathbb{R}}^n$. Here, one of the operators in the sum is monotone and the other is weakly compact. We obtain sufficient conditions and show the existence of weak solutions of the considered problem by using monotonicity and compactness methods together.

In this paper, we first apply parabolic inequalities and a maximum principle to give a new proof for symmetry and monotonicity of solutions to fractional elliptic equations with gradient term by the method of moving planes. Under the condition of suitable initial value, by maximum principles for the fractional parabolic equations, we obtain symmetry and monotonicity of positive solutions for each finite time to nonlinear fractional parabolic equations in a bounded domain and the whole space. More generally, if bounded domain is a ball, then we show that the solution is radially symmetric and monotone decreasing about the origin for each finite time. We firmly believe that parabolic inequalities and a maximum principle introduced here can be conveniently applied to study a variety of nonlocal elliptic and parabolic problems with more general operators and more general nonlinearities.
