Tautenhahn (2002) studied the Lavrentiev regularization method (LRM) to approximate a stable solution for the ill-posed nonlinear equation κ (u) = v , where κ : D (κ) ⊆ X ⟶ X is a nonlinear monotone operator and X is a Hilbert space. The operator in the example used in Tautenhahn's paper was not a monotone operator. So, the following question arises. Can we use LRM for ill-posed nonlinear equations when the involved operator is not monotone? This paper provides a sufficient condition to employ the Lavrentiev regularization technique to such equations whenever the operator involved is non-monotone. Under certain assumptions, the error analysis and adaptive parameter choice strategy for the method are discussed. Moreover, the developed theory is applied to two well-known ill-posed problems—inverse gravimetry and growth law problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study a noncoercive nonlinear elliptic operator with a drift term in an unbounded domain. The singular first-order term grows like | E (x) | | ∇ u | , where E (x) is a vector field belonging to a suitable Morrey-type space. Our operator arises as a stationary equation of diffusion–advection problems. We prove existence, regularity, and uniqueness theorems for a Dirichlet problem. To obtain our main results, we use the weak maximum principle and the same a priori estimates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) with a non-Hermitian term is the model for various phenomena in nonlinear open quantum systems. We deal with the Cauchy problem for the nonlocal generalization of multidimensional NLSE with a non-Hermitian term. Using the ideas of the Maslov method, we propose the method of constructing asymptotic solutions to this equation within the framework of semiclassically concentrated states. The semiclassical nonlinear evolution operator and symmetry operators for the leading term of asymptotics are derived. Our approach is based on the solutions of the auxiliary dynamical system that effectively linearizes the problem under certain algebraic conditions. The formalism proposed is illustrated with the specific example of the NLSE with a non-Hermitian term that is the model of an atom laser. The analytical asymptotic solution to the Cauchy problem is obtained explicitly for this example. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We consider a Cauchy problem for differential equations in a Hilbert space X. The problem is stated in a time interval I, which can be finite or infinite. We use a fixed point argument for history-dependent operators to prove the unique solvability of the problem. Then, we establish convergence criteria for both a general fixed point problem and the corresponding Cauchy problem. These criteria provide the necessary and sufficient conditions on a sequence { u n } , which guarantee its convergence to the solution of the corresponding problem, in the space of both continuous and continuously differentiable functions. We then specify our results in the study of a particular differential equation governed by two nonlinear operators. Finally, we provide an application in viscoelasticity and give a mechanical interpretation of the corresponding convergence result. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
