We prove that if u is a locally Lipschitz continuous function on an open set chi subset of Rn + 1 satisfying the nonlinear heat equation partial derivative(t)u = Delta(vertical bar u vertical bar(p-1) u), p > 1, weakly away from the zero set u(-1) (0) in chi, then u is a weak solution to this equation in all of chi.
We discuss the relaxation of a class of nonlinear elliptic Cauchy problems with data on a piece S of the boundary surface by means of a variational approach known in the optimal control literature as "equation error method". By the Cauchy problem is meant any boundary value problem for an unknown function y in a domain X with the property that the data on S, if combined with the differential equations in X, allow one to determine all derivatives of y on S by means of functional equations. In the case of real analytic data of the Cauchy problem, the existence of a local solution near S is guaranteed by the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem. We also admit overdetermined elliptic systems, in which case the set of those Cauchy data on S for which the Cauchy problem is solvable is very "thin". For this reason we discuss a variational setting of the Cauchy problem which always possesses a generalised solution.
Let A be a nonlinear differential operator on an open set X subset of R-n and S a closed subset of X. Given a class F of functions in X, the set S is said to be removable for F relative to A if any weak solution of A(u) = 0 in XS of class F satisfies this equation weakly in all of X. For the most extensively studied classes F, we show conditions on S which guarantee that S is removable for F relative to A.

Let X be a smooth n-dimensional manifold and D be an open connected set in X with smooth boundary OD. Perturbing the Cauchy problem for an elliptic system Au = f in D with data on a closed set Gamma subset of partial derivativeD, we obtain a family of mixed problems depending on a small parameter epsilon > 0. Although the mixed problems are subjected to a noncoercive boundary condition on partial derivativeDF in general, each of them is uniquely solvable in an appropriate Hilbert space D-T and the corresponding family {u(epsilon)} of solutions approximates the solution of the Cauchy problem in D-T whenever the solution exists. We also prove that the existence of a solution to the Cauchy problem in D-T is equivalent to the boundedness of the family {u(epsilon)}. We thus derive a solvability condition for the Cauchy problem and an effective method of constructing the solution. Examples for Dirac operators in the Euclidean space R-n are treated. In this case, we obtain a family of mixed boundary problems for the Helmholtz equation
The inhomogeneous partial derivative-equation is an inexhaustible source of locally unsolvable equations, subelliptic estimates and other phenomena in partial differential equations. Loosely speaking, for the analysis on complex manifolds with boundary nonelliptic problems are typical rather than elliptic ones. Using explicit integral representations we assign a Fredholm complex to the Dolbeault complex over an arbitrary bounded domain in C-n. (C) 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
