Abstract: We investigate the Cauchy problem for a class of nonlinear elliptic operators with Cinfty-coefficients at a regular set OmegasubsetRn. The Cauchy data are given at a manifold GammasubsetpartialOmega and our goal is to reconstruct the trace of the H1(Omega) solution of a nonlinear elliptic equation at partialOmega/Gamma. We propose two iterative methods based on the segmenting Mann iteration applied to fixed point equations, which are closely related to the original problem. The first approach consists in obtaining a corresponding linear Cauchy problem and analyzing a linear fixed point equation; a convergence proof is given and convergence rates are obtained. On the second approach a nonlinear fixed point equation is considered and a fully nonlinear iterative method is investigated; some preliminary convergence results are proven and a numerical analysis is provided.


The authors denote by nonlinear elliptic Cauchy the following problem: \( -\nabla \cdot ( q( u) \nabla u) =h,\;\)in \(\Omega \subset {\mathbb R}^n,\;u=f,\) at \(\Gamma \subset \partial \Omega ,\;q( u) u_\nu =g,\) at \(\Gamma .\) The main goal is to reconstruct the trace of the \(H^1( \Omega ) \) solution of the nonlinear elliptic equation at \(\partial \Omega /\Gamma .\) Ones propose two iterative methods based on the segmenting Mann iteration applied to fixed point equations, which are closely related to the original problem. In the framework of the first approach the authors obtain a corresponding linear Cauchy problem and they analyze a linear fixed point equation; a convergence proof is given and convergence rates are obtained. In the second approach the authors deduce a nonlinear fixed point equation for the solution of the Cauchy problem and a fully nonlinear iterative method is considered.
