Description: Title: Iterative Scaling Method for Numerical Solution of Kirchhoff-type Problems

Abstract: Kirchhoff-type problems considered here are quasilinear elliptic PDEs that involve the H1-norm of the solution as a perturbation to the coefficients. An implicit scaling iterative algorithm is proposed to numerically solve such problems. Some desirable properties of the algorithm are proved. The numerical solutions obtained can help with the understanding of such problems in areas like the sharpness of analytical results.
