This paper investigates properties of integral operators in complex variable boundary integral equation in plane elasticity, which is derived from the Somigliana identity in the complex variable form. The generalized Sokhotski-Plemelj's formulae are used to obtain the BIE in complex variable. The properties of some integral operators in the interior problem are studied in detail. The Neumann and Dirichlet problems are analyzed. The prior condition for solution is studied. The solvability of the formulated problems is addressed. Similar analysis is carried out for the exterior problem. It is found that the properties of some integral operators in the exterior boundary value problem (BVP) are quite different from their counterparts in the interior BVP.

The goal of this paper is to study the existence of non-trivial non-negative weak solution for the nonlinear elliptic equation: $$-div(h(x){\nabla}u)=f(x,u)\;in\;{\Omega}$$ with Dirichlet boundary condition in a bounded domain ${\Omega}{\subset}\mathbb{R}^N$, $N{\geq}3$, where $h(x){\in}L^1_{loc}({\Omega})$, $f(x,s)$ has asymptotically linear behavior. The solutions will be obtained in a subspace of the space $H^1_0({\Omega})$ and the proofs rely essentially on a variation of the mountain pass theorem in [12].

In this paper we consider a class of nonlocal parabolic equations in bounded domains with Dirichlet boundary conditions and a new class of nonlinearities. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions by using the compactness method. Then we study the existence and fractal dimension estimates of the global attractor for the continuous semigroup generated by the problem. We also prove the existence of stationary solutions and give a sufficient condition for the uniqueness and global exponential stability of the stationary solution. The main novelty of the obtained results is that no restriction is imposed on the upper growth of the nonlinearities.

The element-free Galerkin (EFG) method is one of meshless methods, which is an efficient method of modeling problems of fluid or solid mechanics with complex boundary shapes and large changes in boundary conditions. This paper discusses the theory of the EFG method and its applications to modeling of groundwater flow. In the EFG method, shape functions are constructed based on the moving least square (MLS) approximation, which requires only set of nodes. The EFG method can eliminate time-consuming mesh generation procedure with irregular shaped boundaries because it does not require any elements. The coupled EFG-FEM technique was introduced to treat Dirichlet boundary conditions. A computer code EFGG was developed and tested for the problems of steady-state and transient groundwater flow in homogeneous or heterogeneous aquifers. The accuracy of solutions by the EFG method was similar to that by the FEM. The EFG method has the advantages in convenient node generation and flexible boundary condition implementation.

We introduce a Heaviside-function formulation of the interaction between incompressible two-phase fluid and a non-deformable solid. Fluid and solid interact in two ways : fluid satises the Dirichlet boundary condition imposed by the velocity field of solid, and solid is accelerated by the surface traction exerted by fluid. The two-way couplings are formulated by the Heaviside function to the interface between solid and fluid. The cumbersome treatment of interface is taken care of by the Heaviside function, and the interaction is discretized in a simple manner. The discretization results in a stable and accurate projection method.

The Shortley-Weller method is a basic finite difference method for solving the Poisson equation with Dirichlet boundary condition. In this article, we review the analysis for supra-convergence of the Shortley-Weller method. Though consistency error is first order accurate at some locations, the convergence order is globally second order. We call this increase of the order of accuracy, supra-convergence. Our review is not a simple copy but serves a basic foundation to go toward yet undiscovered analysis for another supra-convergence: we present a partial result for supra-convergence for the gradient of solution.

In this paper we investigate a relation between the multiplicity of solutions and source terms in a nonlinear suspension bridge equation in the interval $(-\frac{2}{\pi}, \frac{2}{\pi})$, under Dirichlet boundary condition $$ (0.1) u_{tt} + u_{xxxx} + bu^+ = f(x) in (-\frac{2}{\pi}, \frac{2}{\pi}) \times R, $$ $$ (0.2) u(\pm\frac{2}{\pi}, t) = u_{xx}(\pm\frac{2}{\pi}, t) = 0, $$ $$ (0.3) u is \pi - periodic in t and even in x and t, $$ where the nonlinearity - $(bu^+)$ crosses an eigenvalue $\lambda_{10}$. This equation represents a bending beam supported by cables under a load f. The constant b represents the restoring force if the cables stretch. The nonlinearity $u^+$ models the fact that cables expansion but do not resist compression.

The purpose of this paper is to give a sufficient condition for the existence, nonexistence and uniqueness of coexistence of positive solutions to a rather general type of elliptic competition system of the Dirichlet problem on the bounded domain ${\Omega}$ in $R^n$. The techniques used in this paper are upper-lower solutions, maximum principles and spectrum estimates. The arguments also rely on some detailed properties for the solution of logistic equations. This result yields an algebraically computable criterion for the positive coexistence of competing species of animals in many biological models.

In [3, 9], using the theory of noncommutative Dirichlet forms in the sense of Cipriani [6] and the symmetric embedding map, authors constructed the KMS-symmetric Markovian semigroup $\{S_t\}_{t{\geq}0}$ on a von Neumann algebra $\cal{M}$ with an admissible function f and an operator $x\;{\in}\;{\cal{M}}$. We give a sufficient and necessary condition for x so that the semigroup $\{S_t\}_{t{\geq}0}$ acts separately on diagonal and off-diagonal operators with respect to a basis and study some results.

We get one theorem which shows existence of solutions for one-dimensional jumping problem involving p-Laplacian and Dirichlet boundary condition. This theorem is that there exists at least one solution when nonlinearities crossing finite number of eigenvalues, exactly one solutions and no solution depending on the source term. We obtain these results by the eigenvalues and the corresponding normalized eigenfunctions of the p-Laplacian eigenvalue problem when 1 < p < ${\infty}$, variational reduction method and Leray-Schauder degree theory when $2{\leq}$ p < ${\infty}$.
