Abstract

Under the assumption λ>0 and f verifying f(x,y,0)=0 in D, 2F(x,y,u)uf(x,y,u)0, u0, and if Ω=R×D, we show the convexity of function E(t)=D|u(t,x,y)|2dxdy, where u:Ω is a solution of problem λ(2u/t2)(/x)(p(x,y)(u/x))(/y)(q(x,y)(u/y))+f(x,y,u)=0 in Ω, u+ε(u/n)=0 on Ω, considered in H2(Ω)L(Ω), p,q:D¯ are two nonnull functions on D, ε is a positive real number, and D=]a1,b1[×]a2,b2[, (F(x,y,s)=0sf(x,y,t)dt).
