Topological degree for solutions of fourth order mean field equations

We consider the following fourth order mean field equation with Navier boundary condition $$\Delta^2 u = \rho \frac{h(x) e^{u}}{\int_\Omega h e^{u}}\,\,{\rm in}\, \Omega,{\quad}u = \Delta u = 0\,\,{\rm on}\,\partial \Omega,\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad(*)$$ where h is a C ^2,?? positive function, ?? is a bounded and smooth domain in ${\mathbb{R}^4}$ . We prove that for ${\rho \in (32m\sigma_3, 32(m + 1)\sigma_3)}$ the degree-counting formula for (*) is given by $$d(\rho)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\frac{1}{m!} (-\chi (\Omega) +1) \cdot\cdot \cdot (-\chi(\Omega)+m) & {\rm for}\, m >0 ,\\ 1 & {\rm for}\, m=0\end{array}\right.$$ where ??(??) is the Euler characteristic of ??. Similar result is also proved for the corresponding Dirichlet problem $$\Delta^2 u = \rho \frac{h(x) e^{u}}{\int_\Omega h e^{u}}\quad{\rm in}\,\Omega, \quad u = \nabla u = 0 \quad {\rm on}\,\,\partial \Omega.\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad(**)$$      

Radial and non radial solutions for Hardy–Hénon type elliptic systems

We discuss existence and non-existence of positive solutions for the following system of Hardy and Hénon type: $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} {-\Delta v=|x|^{\alpha}u^{p},\,-\Delta u=|x|^{\beta}v^{q} \,\,{\rm in}\, \Omega,}\\ {u=v=0 \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad{\rm on}\, \partial \Omega}, \end{array}\right.$$ where ${\Omega\ni 0}$ is a bounded domain in ${\mathbb{R}^{N}}$ , N ≥ 3, p, q > 1, and α, β > ?N. We also study symmetry breaking for ground states when Ω is the unit ball in ${\mathbb{R}^{N}}$ .     

A remark on global existence of solutions of shadow systems

Let ?? be an open, bounded domain in ${\mathbb{R}^n\;(n \in \mathbb{N})}$ with smooth boundary ???. Let p, q, r, d ₁, ?? be positive real numbers and s be a non-negative number which satisfies ${0 < \frac{p-1}{r} < \frac{q}{s+1}}$ . We consider the shadow system of the well-known Gierer?CMeinhardt system: $$ \left \{ \begin{array}{l@{\quad}l} \displaystyle{u_t = d_1\Delta u - u + \frac{u^p}{\xi^q}}, & \quad {\rm in}\;\Omega \times (0,T), \\ \displaystyle{\tau \xi_t = -\xi + \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int\nolimits_\Omega\frac{u^r}{\xi^s} {\rm d}x}, & \quad {\rm in}\;(0,T), \\ \displaystyle{\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} =0}, & \quad {\rm on}\;\partial \Omega \times (0,T), \\ \displaystyle{\xi(0) = \xi_0 >0 , \quad u(\cdot,0) = u_0(\cdot)} \geq 0 & \quad {\rm in}\;\Omega. \end{array} \right. $$ We prove that solutions of this system exist globally in time under some conditions on the coefficients. Our results are based on a priori estimates of the solutions and improve the global existence results of Li and Ni in [4].     

Stability estimates for nonlinear hyperbolic problems with nonlinear Wentzell boundary conditions

Of concern is the nonlinear hyperbolic problem with nonlinear dynamic boundary conditions $$\left\{ \begin{array}{lll} u_{tt} ={\rm div} (\mathcal{A} \nabla u)-\gamma (x,u_t), && \quad {\rm in} \; (0, \infty) \times \Omega,\\ u(0, \cdot)=f, \, u_t(0,\cdot)=g, && \quad {\rm in}\; \Omega, \\ u_{tt} + \beta \partial^ \mathcal{A}_\nu u+c(x)u+ \delta (x,u_t)-q \beta \Lambda_{\rm LB} u=0,&& \quad {\rm on} \;(0, \infty ) \times \partial \Omega . \end{array}\right. $$ for t ≥  0 and ${x \in \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N}$ ; the last equation holds on the boundary ?Ω. Here ${\mathcal{A}= \{a_{ij}(x)\}_{ij}}$ is a real, hermitian, uniformly positive definite N × N matrix; ${\beta \in C(\partial \Omega)}$ , with β > 0; ${\gamma:\Omega \times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}; \delta:\partial \Omega \times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}; \,c:\partial \Omega \to \mathbb{R}; \, q \ge 0, \Lambda_{\rm LB}}$ is the Laplace–Beltrami operator on ?Ω, and ${\partial^\mathcal{A}_\nu u}$ is the conormal derivative of u with respect to ${\mathcal{A}}$ ; everything is sufficiently regular. We prove explicit stability estimates of the solution u with respect to the coefficients ${\mathcal{A},\,\beta,\,\gamma,\,\delta,\,c,\,q}$ , and the initial conditions f, g. Our arguments cover the singular case of a problem with q = 0 which is approximated by problems with positive q.     

Limits as p → ∞ of p-laplacian eigenvalue problems perturbed with a concave or convex term

We investigate the asymptotic behaviour as p → ∞ of sequences of positive weak solutions of the equation $$\left\{\begin{array}{l}-\Delta_p u = \lambda\,u^{p-1}+ u^{q(p)-1}\quad {\rm in}\quad \Omega,\\ u = 0 \quad {\rm on}\quad \partial\Omega,\end{array} \right.$$ where λ > 0 and either 1 < q(p) < p or p < q(p), with ${{\lim_{p\to\infty}{q(p)}/{p}=Q\neq1}}$ . Uniform limits are characterized as positive viscosity solutions of the problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{l}\min\left\{|\nabla u (x)| - \max\{\Lambda\,u (x),u ^Q(x)\}, -\Delta_{\infty}u (x)\right\} = 0 \quad {\rm in} \quad \Omega,\\ u = 0\quad {\rm on}\quad \partial\Omega.\end{array}\right.$$ for appropriate values of Λ > 0. Due to the decoupling of the nonlinearity under the limit process, the limit problem exhibits an intermediate behavior between an eigenvalue problem and a problem with a power-like right-hand side. Existence and non-existence results for both the original and the limit problems are obtained.     

Strong Regularizing Effect of a Gradient Term in the Heat Equation with a Weight

We deal with the following parabolic problem, $$(P)\left\{\begin{array}{lll} u_t - \Delta{u} + |\nabla{u}|^q \quad=\quad \lambda{g}(x)u + f(x, t),\quad u > 0 \; {\rm in} \; \Omega \; \times \; (0, T),\\ \qquad\quad\quad\; u(x, t) \quad=\quad 0 \quad{\rm on}\; {\partial}{\Omega}\; \times ; (0, T),\\ \qquad\quad\quad\; u(x, 0) \quad=\quad u_{0}(x), \quad x \in {\Omega},\end{array}\right.$$ where is a bounded regular domain or ${\Omega = \mathbb{R}^N}$ , ${1 < q \leq 2, \lambda > 0\; {\rm and}\; f \geq 0, u_{0} \geq 0}$ are in a suitable class of functions. We give assumptions on g with respect to q for which for all λ >  0 and all ${f \in L^1(\Omega_T ), f \geq 0}$ , problem (P) has a positive solution. Under some additional conditions on the data, the Cauchy problem and the asymptotic behavior of the solution are also considered.     

{W^{1,1}_0} -solutions for elliptic problems having gradient quadratic lower order terms

In this paper we deal with solutions of problems of the type $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-{\rm div} \Big(\frac{a(x)Du}{(1+|u|)^2} \Big)+u = \frac{b(x)|Du|^2}{(1+|u|)^3} +f \quad &{\rm in} \, \Omega,\\ u=0 &{\rm on} \partial \, \Omega, \end{array} \right.$$ where ${0 < \alpha \leq a(x) \leq \beta, |b(x)| \leq \gamma, \gamma > 0, f \in L^2 (\Omega)}$ and Ω is a bounded subset of ${\mathbb{R}^N}$ with N ≥ 3. We prove the existence of at least one solution for such a problem in the space ${W_{0}^{1, 1}(\Omega) \cap L^{2}(\Omega)}$ if the size of the lower order term satisfies a smallness condition when compared with the principal part of the operator. This kind of problems naturally appears when one looks for positive minima of a functional whose model is: $$J (v) = \frac{\alpha}{2} \int_{\Omega}\frac{|D v|^2}{(1 + |v|)^{2}} + \frac{12}{\int_{\Omega}|v|^2} - \int_{\Omega}f\,v , \quad f \in L^2(\Omega),$$ where in this case a(x) ≡ b(x) = α > 0.     

A weighted Hardy inequality and nonexistence of positive solutions

In this article, we prove that the following weighted Hardy inequality $$\begin{array}{ll}\big(\frac{|{d-p}|}{p}\big)^{p}\, \int\limits_{\Omega}\, \frac{|{u}|^{p}}{|{x}|^{p}}\;d\mu \\ \quad \quad \le \int\limits_{\Omega}\,|{\nabla u}|^{p}\;d\mu+ \big(\frac{|{d-p}|}{p}\big)^{p-1}\,\textrm{sgn}(d-p)\,\int\limits_{\Omega}|{u}|^{p}\,\frac{(x^{t}Ax)^{p/2}}{|{x}|^{p}}\; d\mu \quad \quad \quad (1) \end{array}$$ holds with optimal Hardy constant ${\big(\frac{|d-p|}{p}\big)^{p}}$ for all ${u \in W^{1,p}_{\mu,0}(\Omega)}$ if the dimension d ≥ 2, 1 < p < d, and for all ${u \in W^{1,p}_{\mu,0}(\Omega{\setminus}\{0\})}$ if p > d ≥ 1. Here we assume that Ω is an open subset of ${\mathbb{R}^{d}}$ with ${0 \in \Omega}$ , A is a real d × d-symmetric positive definite matrix, c > 0, and $$ d \mu: = \rho(x) \,dx \qquad \textrm{with} \quad \rho(x) = c \cdot \exp(-\frac{1}{p}(x^{t}Ax)^{p/2}), \quad x \in\Omega.\quad \quad (2) $$ If p > d ≥ 1, then we can deduce from (1) a weighted Poincaré inequality on ${W^{1,p}_{\mu,0}(\Omega \setminus\{0\})}$ . Due to the optimality of the Hardy constant in (1), we can establish the nonexistence (locally in time) of positive weak solutions of a p-Kolmogorov parabolic equation perturbed by a singular potential in dimension d = 1, for 1 < p <  + ∞, and when Ω =  ]0, + ∞[.     

Attractors for a class of semi-linear degenerate parabolic equations

We consider degenerate parabolic equations of the form $$\left. \begin{array}{ll}\,\,\, \partial_t u = \Delta_\lambda u + f(u) \\u|_{\partial\Omega} = 0, u|_{t=0} = u_0\end{array}\right.$$ in a bounded domain ${\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N}$ , where Δ_λ is a subelliptic operator of the type $$\quad \Delta_\lambda:= \sum_{i=1}^{N} \partial_{x_i}(\lambda_{i}^{2} \partial_{x_i}),\qquad \lambda = (\lambda_1,\ldots, \lambda_N).$$ We prove global existence of solutions and characterize their longtime behavior. In particular, we show the existence and finite fractal dimension of the global attractor of the generated semigroup and the convergence of solutions to an equilibrium solution when time tends to infinity.     

Existence and multiplicity results for Pucci’s operators involving nonlinearities with zeros

We study the problem $$ \left\{\begin{array}{ll} {-\varepsilon^{2}\mathcal{M}^+_{\lambda,\Lambda}(D^{2}u) = f (x, u)} \quad\; {\rm in} \; \Omega,\\ {u = 0} \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad {\rm on} \; \partial{\Omega}, \end{array} \right.$$ where Ω is a smooth bounded domain in ${\mathbb{R}^{N},N > 2,}$ and show it possesses nontrivial solutions for small values of ε provided f is a nonnegative continuous function which has a positive zero. The multiplicity result is based on degree theory together with a new Liouville type theorem for ${-{M}^+_{\lambda,\Lambda}(D^{2}u) = f(u)}$ in ${\mathbb{R}^{N}}$ for nonnegative nonlinearities with zeros.     

Multiple sign-changing solutions for a semilinear Neumann problem and the topology of the configuration space of the domain boundary

We study the existence of multiple sign-changing solutions of the problem $$-d^2 \Delta u + u =f(u)\quad {\rm in}\,\Omega,\quad\dfrac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}=0 \quad {\rm in}\,\partial \Omega,$$ where d > 0 is small enough, Ω is a domain in ${\mathbb{R}^{N}}$ (N ≥ 2) whose boundary is nonempty, compact and smooth and ${f \in C(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})}$ is a function satisfying a subcritical growth condition. We give lower estimates of the number of the sign-changing solutions by the category of a set related to the configuration space ${\{(x,y)\in\partial\Omega\times\partial\Omega:x \neq y\}}$ of the boundary ?Ω.     

Existence and Multiplicity of Positive Solutions to a Quasilinear Elliptic Equation with Strong Allee Effect Growth Rate

In this paper we consider a p-Laplacian equation with strong Allee effect growth rate and Dirichlet boundary condition $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} {\rm div} (|\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u) + \lambda f(x,u)=0, &\quad x \in \Omega, \\ u=0, &\quad x \in \partial \Omega, \qquad \qquad ^ {(P_\lambda)} \end{array}\right.$$ where Ω is a bounded smooth domain in ${\mathbb{R}^N}$ for ${N \ge 1, p > 1}$ , and λ is a positive parameter. By using variational methods and a suitable truncation technique, we prove that problem (P _λ) has at least two positive solutions for large parameter and it has no positive solutions for small parameter. In addition, a nonexistence result is investigated.     

Exact multiplicity results for a singularly perturbed Neumann problem

In this paper we study the number of the boundary single peak solutions of the problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\varepsilon^{2} \Delta u + u = u^{p}, \quad {\rm in}\, \Omega \\ u > 0, \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad {\rm in}\, \Omega \\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial {\nu}} = 0, \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\,\,\, {\rm on}\, \partial {\Omega}\end{array}\right.$$ for ${\varepsilon}$ small and p subcritical. Under some suitable assumptions on the shape of the boundary near a critical point of the mean curvature, we are able to prove exact multiplicity results. Note that the degeneracy of the critical point is allowed.     

Multiple positive solutions of singular and critical elliptic problem in {\mathbb{R}^2} with discontinuous nonlinearities

Let Ω be a bounded domain in ${\mathbb{R}^2}$ with smooth boundary. We consider the following singular and critical elliptic problem with discontinuous nonlinearity: $$(P_\lambda)\left \{\begin{array}{ll} - \Delta u = \lambda \left(\frac{m(x, u) e^{\alpha{u}^2}}{|x|^{\beta}} + u^{q}g(u - a)\right),\quad{u} > 0 \quad {\rm in} \quad \Omega\\u \quad \quad = 0\quad {\rm on} \quad \partial \Omega \end{array}\right.$$ where ${0\leq q < 1 ,0< \alpha\leq4\pi}$ and ${\beta \in [0, 2)}$ such that ${\frac{\beta}{2} + \frac{\alpha}{4\pi} \leq 1}$ and ${{g(t - a) = \left\{\begin{array}{ll}1, t \leq a\\ 0, t > a.\end{array}\right.}}$ Under the suitable assumptions on m(x, t) we show the existence and multiplicity of solutions for maximal interval for λ.     

Infinitely many solutions for an elliptic problem involving critical Sobolev growth and Hardy potential

In this paper, we will prove the existence of infinitely many solutions for the following elliptic problem with critical Sobolev growth and a Hardy potential: $$-\Delta u-\frac{\mu}{|x|^2}u = |u|^{2^{\ast}-2}u+a u\quad {\rm in}\;\Omega,\quad u=0 \quad {\rm on}\; \partial\Omega,\qquad (*)$$ under the assumptions that N ≥ 7, ${\mu\in \left[0,\frac{(N-2)^2}4-4\right)}$ and a > 0, where ${2^{\ast}=\frac{2N}{N-2}}$ , and Ω is an open bounded domain in ${\mathbb{R}^N}$ which contains the origin. To achieve this goal, we consider the following perturbed problem of (*), which is of subcritical growth, $$-\Delta u-\frac{\mu}{|x|^2}u = |u|^{2^{\ast}-2-\varepsilon_n}u+au \quad {\rm in}\,\Omega, \quad u=0 \quad {\rm on}\;\partial\Omega,\qquad(\ast\ast)_n$$ where ${\varepsilon_{n} > 0}$ is small and ${\varepsilon_n \to 0}$ as n → + ∞. By the critical point theory for the even functionals, for each fixed ${\varepsilon_{n} > 0}$ small, (**) _n has a sequence of solutions ${u_{k,\varepsilon_{n}} \in H^{1}_{0}(\Omega)}$ . We obtain the existence of infinitely many solutions for (*) by showing that as n → ∞, ${u_{k,\varepsilon_{n}}}$ converges strongly in ${H^{1}_{0}(\Omega)}$ to u _k , which must be a solution of (*). Such a convergence is obtained by applying a local Pohozaev identity to exclude the possibility of the concentration of ${\{u_{k,\varepsilon_n}\}}$ .     

Some remarks on quasilinear parabolic problems with singular potential and a reaction term

In this paper we deal with the following quasilinear parabolic problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{l@{\quad}l} (u^\theta)_t - \Delta_p {u} = \lambda \frac{u^{p - 1}}{|x|^{p}} + u^q + f,\,\, u \geq 0 \quad {\rm in} \;\;\Omega \times (0, T),\\ u(x, t) = 0 \quad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad {\rm on}\; \partial \Omega \times(0, T),\\ u(x, 0) = u_0(x), \,\,\, \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad x \in\; \Omega,\end{array}\right.$$ where θ is either 1 or (p ? 1), \({N \geq 3, \,\Omega \subset \mathcal{IR}^N}\) is either a bounded regular domain containing the origin or \({\Omega \equiv \mathcal{IR}^N}\) , 1 < p < N, q > 0 and u ₀ ≥  0, f ≥  0 with suitable hypotheses. The aim of this work is to get natural conditions to show the existence or the nonexistence of nonnegative solutions. In the case of nonexistence result, we analyze blow-up phenomena for approximated problems in connection with the classical Harnack inequality, in the Moser sense, more precisely in connection with a strong maximum principle. We also study when finite time extinction (1 < p < 2) and finite speed propagation (p > 2) occur related to the reaction power.     

Regularity lifting of weak solutions for nonlinear sub-Laplace equations on homogeneous groups

Let G be a homogeneous group, and let X ₁, X ₂, … , X _m be left invariant real vector fields being homogeneous of degree one on G. We consider the following Dirichlet boundary value problem of the sub-Laplace equation involving the critical exponent and singular term: $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-\sum_{j=1}^{m}X_j^2u(x)-\frac{a}{\|x\|^\nu}u(x)=u^{\frac{Q+2}{Q-2}}(x), x\in\Omega,\\ u(x)=0, \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\,\,\,\, x\in \partial\Omega,\end{array}\right.$$ where ${\Omega\subset G}$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary and ${\mathbf{0}\in\Omega}$ , Q is the homogeneous dimension of G, ${a\in \mathbb{R},\ \nu <2 }$ . We boost u to ${L^p(\Omega)}$ for any ${1\leq p < \infty}$ if ${u\in S^{1,2}_0(\Omega)}$ is a weak solution of the problem above.     

Sign-definiteness of q-eigenfunctions for a super-linear p-Laplacian eigenvalue problem

We consider the following q-eigenvalue problem for the p-Laplacian $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-{\rm div}\big( |\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u\big) = \lambda \|u\|_{L^{q}(\Omega)}^{p-q}|u|^{q-2}u \quad \quad\, {\rm in} \,\,\,\, \Omega\\ \quad\quad\quad \quad \quad \quad u = 0 \quad\qquad\qquad \quad\quad \,\,{\rm on } \,\,\,\, \partial\Omega,\end{array}\right.$$ where \({\lambda\in\mathbb{R},}\) p > 1, Ω is a bounded and smooth domain of \({\mathbb{R}^{N},}\) N > 1, \({1\leq q < p^{\star}}\) , \({p^{\star}=\frac{Np}{N-p}}\) if p < N and \({p^{\star}=\infty}\) if \({p\geq N.}\) Let λ _q denote the first q-eigenvalue. We prove that in the super-linear case, \({p < q < p^{\star},}\) there exists \({\epsilon_{q}>0}\) such that if \({\lambda\in(\lambda_{q},\lambda _{q}+\epsilon_{q})}\) is a q-eigenvalue, then any corresponding q-eigenfunction does not change sign in Ω. As a consequence of this result we obtain, in the super-linear case, the isolatedness of λ _q for those Ω such that the Lane–Emden problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-{\rm div}\big(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u\big) = |u|^{q-2}u \qquad\quad\quad\quad \,\,{\rm in}\,\,\,\Omega\\ \quad\quad\quad \quad \quad \quad u = 0 \quad\qquad\qquad \quad\quad \,{\rm on } \,\,\, \partial\Omega,\end{array}\right.$$ has exactly one positive solution.     

Quadratic derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equations in two space dimensions
