EXISTENCE RESULT FOR A CLASS OF N-LAPLACIAN EQUATIONS INVOLVING CRITICAL GROWTH

In this paper, we consider a class of N-Laplacian equations involving critical growth{-?_N u = λ|u|~(N-2) u + f(x, u), x ∈ ?,u ∈ W_0~(1,N)(?), u(x) ≥ 0, x ∈ ?,where ? is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in R~N(N 2), f(x, u) is of critical growth. Based on the Trudinger-Moser inequality and a nonstandard linking theorem introduced by Degiovanni and Lancelotti, we prove the existence of a nontrivial solution for any λ λ_1, λ = λ_?(? = 2, 3, ···), and λ_? is the eigenvalues of the operator(-?_N, W_0~(1,N)(?)),which is defined by the Z_2-cohomological index.     

EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS FOR SEMILINEAR ELLIPTIC EQUATIONS INVOLVING CRITICAL SOBOLEV EXPONENTS AND HARDY TERMS

This paper deals with the existence of solutions to the elliptic equation -△uμu/|x|2=λu |u|2*-2u f(x, u) in Ω, u = 0 on ( a)Ω, where Ω is a bounded domain in RN(N≥3),0∈Ω,2*=2N/N-2,λ＞0,λ(a)σμ, σμ is the spectrum of the operator -△- μI/|x|2with zero Dirichlet boundary condition, 0 ＜μ＜-μ,-μ=(N-2)2/4,f(x,u) is an asymmetric lower order perturbation of |u|2*-1 at infinity. Using the dual variational methods, the existence of nontrivial solutions is proved.     

Multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of concave-convex elliptic equations with critical growth

In this article, the following concave and convex nonlinearities elliptic equations involving critical growth is considered,{-△u=g(x)|u|2*-2u+λf(x)|u|q-2u,x∈Ω,u=0,x∈■Ω where Ω■R~N(N≥3) is an open bounded domain with smooth boundary, 1 q 2, λ 0.2*=2 N/(N-2)is the critical Sobolev exponent,f∈L2~*/(2~*-q)(Ω)is nonzero and nonnegative,and g ∈ C(■) is a positive function with k local maximum points. By the Nehari method and variational method,k+1 positive solutions are obtained. Our results complement and optimize the previous work by Lin [MR2870946, Nonlinear Anal. 75(2012) 2660-2671].     

GROUND STATES FOR FRACTIONAL SCHR?DINGER EQUATIONS WITH ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS AND CRITICAL GROWTH

In this article, we study the following fractional Schr?dinger equation with electromagnetic fields and critical growth (-?)_A~su + V(x)u = |u|~(2_s~*-2) u + λf(x, |u|~2)u, x ∈ R~N,where(-?)_A~s is the fractional magnetic operator with 0 s 1, N 2s, λ 0, 2_s~*=2N/(N-2s),f is a continuous function, V ∈ C(R~N, R) and A ∈ C(R~N, R~N) are the electric and magnetic potentials, respectively. When V and f are asymptotically periodic in x, we prove that the equation has a ground state solution for large λ by Nehari method.     

A critical Trudinger-Moser inequality involving a degenerate potential and nonlinear Schrödinger equations

The classical critical Trudinger-Moser inequality in R~2 under the constraint ∫_(R_2)(|▽u|~2+|u|~2)dx≤1 was established through the technique of blow-up analysis or the rearrangement-free argument:for any τ 0,it holds that ■ and 4π is sharp.However,if we consider the less restrictive constraint ∫_(R_2)(|▽u|~2+|u|~2)dx≤1,where V(x) is nonnegative and vanishes on an open set in R~2,it is unknown whether the sharp constant of the Trudinger-Moser inequality is still 4π.The loss of a positive lower bound of the potential V(x) makes this problem become fairly nontrivial.The main purpose of this paper is twofold.We will first establish the Trudinger-Moser inequality ■ when V is nonnegative and vanishes on an open set in R~2.As an application,we also prove the existence of ground state solutions to the following Sciridinger equations with critical exponeitial growth:-Δu+V(x)u=f u) in R~2,(0.1)where V(x)≥0 and vanishes on an open set of R~2 and f has critical exponential growth.Having a positive constant lower bound for the potential V(x)(e.g.,the Rabinowitz type potential) has been the standard assumption when one deals with the existence of solutions to the above Schr?dinger equations when the nonlinear term has the exponential growth.Our existence result seems to be the first one without this standard assumption.     

MULTIPLE NONTRIVIAL SOLUTIONS FOR A CLASS OF SEMILINEAR POLYHARMONIC EQUATIONS

In this paper, we are concerned with the following problem:(-△)ku = λf(x)|u|q-2u + g(x)|u|k*-2u, x ∈Ω,u ∈ Hk0(Ω),where Ω is a bounded domain in RNwith N ≥ 2k + 1, 1 q 2, λ 0, f, g are continuous functions on Ω which are somewhere positive but which may change sign on Ω. k* =2N N-2k is the critical Sobolev exponent. By extracting the Palais-Smale sequence in the Nehari manifold, the existence of multiple nontrivial solutions to this equation is verified.     

THE REGULARITY OF QUASI-MINIMA AND ω-MINIMA OF INTEGRAL FUNCTIONALS

In this article, we have two parts. In the first part, we are concerned with the locally Hlder continuity of quasi-minima of the following integral functional ∫Ωf(x, u, Du)dx, (1) where Ω is an open subset of Euclidean N-space (N ≥ 3), u:Ω→ R,the Carath′eodory function f satisfies the critical Sobolev exponent growth condition |Du|p* |u|p*-a(x) ≤ f(x,u,Du) ≤ L(|Du|p+|u|p* + a(x)), (2) where L≥1, 1pN,p* = Np/N-p , and a(x) is a nonnegative function that lies in a suitable Lp space. In the second part, we study the locally Hlder continuity of ω-minima of (1). Our method is to compare the ω-minima of (1) with the minima of corresponding function determined by its critical Sobolev exponent growth condition. Finally, we obtain the regularity by Ekeland’s variational principal.     

INFINITELY MANY SIGN-CHANGING SOLUTIONS FOR THE BRZIS-NIRENBERG PROBLEM INVOLVING HARDY POTENTIAL

In this article, we give a new proof on the existence of infinitely many signchanging solutions for the following Brézis-Nirenberg problem with critical exponent and a Hardy potential -?u- μu/(|x|~2)= λu + |u|~2~(*-2)u in ?, u = 0 on ??,where ? is a smooth open bounded domain of R~N which contains the origin, 2~*=(2N)/(N-2) is the critical Sobolev exponent. More precisely, under the assumptions that N ≥ 7, μ∈ [0, -4),2and =(N-2)~2/4, we show that the problem admits infinitely many sign-changing solutions for each fixed λ 0. Our proof is based on a combination of invariant sets method and Ljusternik-Schnirelman theory.     

Existence of Semiclassical States for a Quasilinear Schr?dinger Equation on R~N with Exponential Critical Growth

We study a quasilinear Schr?dinger equation{-ε~NΔNu+V(x)|u|~(N-2)u=Q(x)f(u) in R~N,0u∈W~(1,N)(R~N),u(x)|x|→∞→0,where V,Q are two continuous real functions on R~N and ε0 is a real parameter.Assume that the nonlinearity f is of exponential critical growth in the sense of Trudinger–Moser inequality,we are able to establish the existence and concentration of the semiclassical solutions by variational methods.     

The Ground State Solutions for Kirchhoff-Schr¨odinger Type Equations with Singular Exponential Nonlinearities in RN*

In this paper, the authors consider the following singular Kirchhoff-Schr¨odinger problem M Z RN |u|N + V (x)|u|N dx (N u + V (x)|u|N?2u) = f(x, u) |x|η in RN , (Pη) where 0 < η < N, M is a Kirchhoff-type function and V (x) is a continuous function with positive lower bound, f(x, t) has a critical exponential growth behavior at infinity.Combining variational techniques with some estimates, they get the existence of ground state solution for (Pη). Moreover, they also get the same result without the A-R condition.     

Qualitative Analysis of Bifurcating Solutions in the Lengyel-Epstein Model

One of the most fundamental problems in theoretical biology is to explain the mechanisms by which patterns and forms are created in the＇living world. In his seminal paper ＂The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis＂, Turing showed that a system of coupled reaction-diffusion equations can be used to describe patterns and forms in biological systems. However, the first experimental evidence to the Turing patterns was observed by De Kepper and her associates（1990） on the CIMA reaction in an open unstirred reactor, almost 40 years after Turing＇s prediction. Lengyel and Epstein characterized this famous experiment using a system of reaction-diffusion equations. The Lengyel-Epstein model is in the form as follows     

RECENT PROGRESS ON SPHERICAL HARMONIC APPROXIMATION MADE BY BNU RESEARCH GROUP ——In memory of Professor Sun Yongsheng

As early as in 1990, Professor Sun Yongsheng, suggested his students at Beijing Normal University to consider research problems on the unit sphere. Under his guidance and encouragement his students started the research on spherical harmonic analysis and approximation. In this paper, we incompletely introduce the main achievements in this area obtained by our group and relative researchers during recent 5 years （2001-2005）. The main topics are： convergence of Cesaro summability, a.e. and strong summability of Fourier-Laplace series; smoothness and K-functionals; Kolmogorov and linear widths.     

(0,1 ;0)-INTERPOLATION ON INFINITE INTERVAL (-∞, +∞)

In this paper, we study the explicit representation and convergence of (0, 1; 0)-interpolation on infinite interval, which means to determine a polynomial of degree ≤ 3n - 2 when the function values are prescribed at two set of points namely the zeros of Hn(x) and H′n(x) and the first derivatives at the zeros of H′n(x).     

On a class of self-similar processes with stationary increments in higher order Wiener chaoses

We study a class of self-similar processes with stationary increments belonging to higher order Wiener chaoses which are similar to Hermite processes. We obtain an almost sure wavelet-like expansion of these processes. This allows us to compute the pointwise and local Hölder regularity of sample paths and to analyse their behaviour at infinity. We also provide some results on the Hausdorff dimension of the range and graphs of multidimensional anisotropic self-similar processes with stationary increments defined by multiple Wiener–Itô integrals.     

A REPRESENTATION FORMULA RELATED TO SCHR(O)DINGER OPERATORS

Schr(o)dinger operator is a central subject in the mathematical study of quantum mechanics.Consider the Schrodinger operator H = -△ V on R, where △ = d2/dx2 and the potential function V is real valued. In Fourier analysis, it is well-known that a square integrable function admits an expansion with exponentials as eigenfunctions of -△. A natural conjecture is that an L2 function admits a similar expansion in terms of "eigenfunctions" of H, a perturbation of the Laplacian (see [7], Ch. Ⅺ and the notes), under certain condition on V.     

On a class of Riemann surfaces

It is considered the class of Riemann surfaces with dimT1 = 0, where T1 is a subclass of exact harmonic forms which is one of the factors in the orthogonal decomposition of the spaceΩH of harmonic forms of the surface, namely The surfaces in the class OHD and the class of planar surfaces satisfy dimT1 = 0. A.Pfluger posed the question whether there might exist other surfaces outside those two classes. Here it is shown that in the case of finite genus g, we should look for a surface S with dimT1 = 0 among the surfaces of the form Sg\K , where Sg is a closed surface of genus g and K a compact set of positive harmonic measure with perfect components and very irregular boundary.
