A comparison theorem for super- and subsolutions of \(\nabla ^2 u + f (u) = 0\) and its application to water waves with vorticity



Abstract: A comparison theorem is proved for a pair of solutions that satisfy in a weak sense opposite differential inequalities with nonlinearity of the form f(u) with f belonging to the class Llocp. The solutions are assumed to have non-vanishing gradients in the domain, where the inequalities are considered. The comparison theorem is applied to the problem describing steady, periodic water waves with vorticity in the case of arbitrary free-surface profiles including overhanging ones. Bounds for these profiles as well as streamfunctions and admissible values of the total head are obtained.
