Isotropic problem with non homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition and L1-data
Boureima SAWADOGO, Stanislas OUARO, Adama KABORE
The purpose of this paper is to study an isotropic problem with non homogeneous Dirichlet
boundary condition and L1-data in a variable-exponent Sobolev space. We start by showing
the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution when the source term is bounded. Finally,
we use a problem-based approach to prove the existence and uniqueness o(...)

Kossi Latevi, Pélagie R. Nadinga, Delphine Ouattara, Innocent Sibiri Yaméogo, Olivier Gnankiné and Souleymane Nacro
Chilo zacconius is one of the main rice stem borers in Burkina Faso. A study was conducted on its biology under controlled conditions of 25.46 ±1 °C temperature, 75.94 ±4% relative humidity, and a 12-hour photoperiod. To do this, immature populations of the insect were sampled in rice fields at Bama, western Burkina Faso for mass rearing of th(...)
