1. Topics in Nonlinear Elliptic Differential Equations
Sammanfattning : In this thesis we examine the existence of solutions to nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations via variational methods.In Paper I we consider the existence of constrained minimizers which correspond to solutions of equations involving the iterated Laplacian, the iterated p-Laplacian and the critical Sobolev exponent.

2. Convergence analysis of domain decomposition methods : Nonlinear elliptic and linear parabolic equations
Sammanfattning : Domain decomposition methods are widely used tools for solving partial differential equations in parallel. However, despite their long history, there is a lack of rigorous convergence theory for equations with non-symmetric differential operators. This includes both nonlinear elliptic equations and linear parabolic equations. LÄS MER
3. Two Problems in non-linear PDE’s with Phase Transitions
Sammanfattning : This thesis is in the field of non-linear partial differential equations (PDE), focusing on problems which show some type of phase-transition. A single phase Hele-Shaw flow models a Newtoninan fluid which is being injected in the space between two narrowly separated parallel planes. LÄS MER
4. Nonlinear elliptic problems with boundary blow-up
Sammanfattning : A classical problem in differential geometry is the prescribed curvature problemin a bounded domain, where the task is to conformally deform the Euclidean metric to another complete Riemannian metric with a prescribed curvature function.If this function is negative, the problem is equivalent to solving a nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation with boundary blow-up.

5. On some Nonlinear Aspects of Wave Motion
Sammanfattning : In the first part of this thesis we consider the governing equations for capillary water waves given by the Euler equations with a free surface under the influence of surface tension over a flat bottom. We look for two-dimensional steady periodic waves. The problem is first transformed to a nonlinear elliptic equation in a rectangle. LÄS MER
