In this work, we will prove the existence of bounded solutions for the nonlinear elliptic equations \(- div(a(x,u,\nabla u)) = g(x,u,\nabla u) -divf,\) in the setting of the weighted Sobolev space \(W^{1,p}(\Omega,w)\) where \(a\), \(g\) are Caratheodory functions which satisfy some conditions and \(f\) satisfies suitable summability assumption.

The aim of this paper is to study the boundary enlarged gradient controllability problem governed by parabolic evolution equations. The purpose is to find and compute the control \(u\) which steers the gradient state from an initial gradient one \(\nabla y_{_{0}}\) to a gradient vector supposed to be unknown between two defined bounds \(b_1\) and…

We prove the existence of at least one non-decreasing sequence of positive eigenvalues for the problem, $$\begin{gathered}\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \Delta_{p(x)}^{2}u-\triangle_{p(x)}u= \lambda |u|^{p(x)-2}u, \ \ \quad in \ \Omega \\ u\in W^{2,p(x)}(\Omega)\cap W_{0}^{1,p(x)}(\Omega),\end{array}\right. \end{gathered}$$ Our analysis mainly relies on variational arguments involving Ljusternik-Schnirelmann theory.

Radio frequency Identification (RFID) is currently considered as one of the most used technologies for an automatic identification of objects or people.

Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) are gaining ground and currently are almost part of our everyday life. A C-ITS environment can provide numerous services that soon will become essential to roads’ users. The latter resides in improvement of road safety, entertainment, and commercial services. However, in order to provide such services, the C-ITS environment needs…

Network security is often built on perimeter defense. Sophisticated attacks are able to penetrate the perimeter and access valuable resources in the network. A more complete defense strategy also contains mechanisms to detect and mitigate perimeter breaches. Deceptive systems are a promising technology to detect, deceive and counter infiltration. In this work we provide an…

Multiprocessor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoC) allow the implementation of heterogeneous architectures with a high integration capacity. In recent years, computational requirements MPSoC are increasing exponentially. This complexity, coupled with constantly evolving specifications, has forced designers to consider intrinsically flexible implementations. Deploying applications typical of multimedia domains is difficult, not only due to the heterogeneous parallelism in the…
