Abstract
We examine Petviashvilli’s method for solving the equation ϕ-Δϕ=|ϕ|p-1ϕ on a bounded domain Ω⊂Rd with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove a local convergence result, using spectral analysis, akin to the result for the problem on R by Pelinovsky and Stepanyants in [16]. We also prove a global convergence result by generating a suite of nonlinear inequalities for the iteration sequence, and we show that the sequence has a natural energy that decreases along the sequence.
