Nonexistence and symmetry of solutions to some fractional laplacian equations in the upper half space

In this article, we consider the fractional Laplacian equation(-△)~(α/2)u = K(x)f(u), x ∈ R_+~n,u ≡ 0, x/∈R_+~n,where 0 α 2, R_+~n:= {x =(x_1, x_2, ···, x_n)|x n 0}. When K is strictly decreasing with respect to |x′|, the symmetry of positive solutions is proved, where x′=(x_1, x_2, ···, x_(n-1)) ∈R~(n-1). When K is strictly increasing with respect to x n or only depend on x n, the nonexistence of positive solutions is obtained.     

Multiplicity of solutions of weighted (p,q)-Laplacian with small source

In this article, we study the existence of infinitely many solutions to the degenerate quasilinear elliptic system-div(h_1(x)|▽u|~(p-2)▽u)=d(x)|u|~(r-2)u+G_u(x,u,v) in Ω,-div(h_2(x)|▽u|~(p-2)▽v)=f(x)|v|~(s-2)v + G_u(x,u,v) in Ω,u=v=0 on ■Ω where Ω is a bonded domain in R~N with smooth boundary ■Ω,N≥2,1 r p ∞,1 s q ∞; h_1(x) and h_2(x) are allowed to have "essential" zeroes at some points inΩ; d(x)|u|~(r-2)u and f(x)|v|~(s-2)v are small sources with Gu(x,u,v), Gv(x,u,v) being their high-order perturbations with respect to(u,v) near the origin, respectively.     

A proof of the Tn conjecture: Centralizers,Jacobians and spectrally arbitrary sign patterns

We prove the so-called $T_n$ conjecture: for every real-monic polynomial $p(x)$ of degree $n?2$ there exists an n by n matrix with sign pattern$T_n=\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}\hfill -\hfill & \hfill +\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill \\ \hfill -\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill \hfill & \hfill ?\hfill \\ \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill \\ \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill \hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill +\hfill \\ \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill -\hfill & \hfill +\hfill \end{array}\right]\text{,}$whose characteristic polynomial is $p(x)$. The proof converts the problem of determining the nonsingularity of a certain Jacobi matrix to the problem of proving the non-existence of a nonzero matrix B that commutes with a nilpotent matrix with sign pattern $T_n$ and has zeros in positions $(1\text{,}1)$, and $(j+1\text{,}j)$ for $j=2\text{,}\dots \text{,}n-1$.     

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].     

Homogenization of a Dirichlet semilinear elliptic problem with a strong singularity at u = 0 in a domain with many small holes

In the present paper we perform the homogenization of the semilinear elliptic problem

$\{\begin{array}{cc}{u}^{\epsilon }\ge 0\hfill & \text{in}{\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon },\hfill \\ ?divA(x)D{u}^{\epsilon }=F(x,u^{\epsilon })\hfill & \text{in}{\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon },\hfill \\ u^{\epsilon }=0\hfill & \text{on}?{\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon }.\hfill \end{array}$

In this problem $F(x,s)$ is a Carathéodory function such that $0\le F(x,s)\le h(x)/\mathrm{\Gamma }(s)$ a.e. $x\in \mathrm{\Omega }$ for every $s>0$, with h in some $L^r(\mathrm{\Omega })$ and Γ a $C^1([0,+\infty [)$ function such that $\mathrm{\Gamma }(0)=0$ and ${\mathrm{\Gamma }}^{\prime }(s)>0$ for every $s>0$. On the other hand the open sets ${\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon }$ are obtained by removing many small holes from a fixed open set Ω in such a way that a “strange term” $\mu u^0$ appears in the limit equation in the case where the function $F(x,s)$ depends only on x.We already treated this problem in the case of a “mild singularity”, namely in the case where the function $F(x,s)$ satisfies $0\le F(x,s)\le h(x)(\frac{1}{s}+1)$. In this case the solution $u^{\epsilon }$ to the problem belongs to $H_0^1({\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon })$ and its definition is a “natural” and rather usual one.In the general case where $F(x,s)$ exhibits a “strong singularity” at $u=0$, which is the purpose of the present paper, the solution $u^{\epsilon }$ to the problem only belongs to $H_{\text{loc}}^1({\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon })$ but in general does not belong to $H_0^1({\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon })$ anymore, even if $u^{\epsilon }$ vanishes on $?{\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\epsilon }$ in some sense. Therefore we introduced a new notion of solution (in the spirit of the solutions defined by transposition) for problems with a strong singularity. This definition allowed us to obtain existence, stability and uniqueness results.In the present paper, using this definition, we perform the homogenization of the above semilinear problem and we prove that in the homogenized problem, the “strange term” $\mu u^0$ still appears in the left-hand side while the source term $F(x,u^0)$ is not modified in the right-hand side.     

Global existence and blow-up of solutions for the heat equation with exponential nonlinearity

We are concerned with the existence of global in time solution for a semilinear heat equation with exponential nonlinearity

(P)$\{\begin{array}{cc}{?}_{t}u=\mathrm{\Delta }u+e^u,\hfill & x\in {\mathbf{R}}^N,t>0,\hfill \\ u(x,0)=u_0(x),\hfill & x\in {\mathbf{R}}^N,\hfill \end{array}$

where $u_0$ is a continuous initial function. In this paper, we consider the case where $u_0$ decays to ?∞ at space infinity, and study the optimal decay bound classifying the existence of global in time solutions and blowing up solutions for (P). In particular, we point out that the optimal decay bound for $u_0$ is related to the decay rate of forward self-similar solutions of ${?}_{t}u=\mathrm{\Delta }u+e^u$.     

Global existence and stabilization in a degenerate chemotaxis-Stokes system with mildly strong diffusion enhancement

A class of chemotaxis-Stokes systems generalizing the prototype

$\{\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill n_t+u?\mathrm{?}n& \hfill =\hfill & \mathrm{?}?\left(n^{m?1}\mathrm{?}n\right)?\mathrm{?}?\left(n\mathrm{?}c\right),\hfill \\ \hfill c_t+u?\mathrm{?}c& \hfill =\hfill & \mathrm{\Delta }c?nc,\hfill \\ \hfill u_t+\mathrm{?}P& \hfill =\hfill & \mathrm{\Delta }u+n\mathrm{?}?,\mathrm{?}?u=0,\hfill \end{array}$

is considered in bounded convex three-dimensional domains, where $?\in W^{2,\infty }(\mathrm{\Omega })$ is given.The paper develops an analytical approach which consists in a combination of energy-based arguments and maximal Sobolev regularity theory, and which allows for the construction of global bounded weak solutions to an associated initial-boundary value problem under the assumption that

(0.1)$m>\frac{9}{8}.$

Moreover, the obtained solutions are shown to approach the spatially homogeneous steady state $(\frac{1}{|\mathrm{\Omega }|}{\int }_{\mathrm{\Omega }}{n}_0,0,0)$ in the large time limit.This extends previous results which either relied on different and apparently less significant energy-type structures, or on completely alternative approaches, and thereby exclusively achieved comparable results under hypotheses stronger than (0.1).     

Existence of ground state solutions to Hamiltonian elliptic system with potentials

In this paper, we investigate nonlinear Hamiltonian elliptic system{-?u + b(向量)(x) · ?u +(V(x) + τ)u = K(x)g(v) in R~N,-?v-(向量)b(x)·?v +(V(x) + τ)v = K(x)f(u) in R~N,u(x) → 0 and v(x) → 0 as |x| →∞,where N ≥ 3, τ 0 is a positive parameter and V, K are nonnegative continuous functions,f and g are both superlinear at 0 with a quasicritical growth at infinity. By establishing a variational setting, the existence of ground state solutions is obtained.     

Equiconvergence of spectral decompositions of 1D Dirac operators with regular boundary conditions

One dimensional Dirac operators $L_{bc}\left(v\right)y=i\left(\begin{array}{cc}\hfill 1\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill \\ \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?1\hfill \end{array}\right)\frac{dy}{dx}+v\left(x\right)y\text{,}y=\left(\begin{array}{c}\hfill y_1\hfill \\ \hfill y_2\hfill \end{array}\right)\text{,}x\in [0,\pi ]\text{,}$ considered with $L^2$-potentials $v\left(x\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cc}\hfill 0\hfill & \hfill P\left(x\right)\hfill \\ \hfill Q\left(x\right)\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill \end{array}\right)$ and subject to regular boundary conditions ($bc$), have discrete spectrum. For strictly regular $bc$, the spectrum of the free operator $L_{bc}\left(0\right)$ is simple while the spectrum of $L_{bc}\left(v\right)$ is eventually simple, and the corresponding normalized root function systems are Riesz bases. For expansions of functions of bounded variation about these Riesz bases, we prove the uniform equiconvergence property and point-wise convergence on the closed interval $[0,\pi ]$. Analogous results are obtained for regular but not strictly regular $bc$.     

Weak solutions of semilinear elliptic equation involving Dirac mass

In this paper, we study the elliptic problem with Dirac mass

(1)$\{\begin{array}{c}?\mathrm{\Delta }u=V{u}^p+k{\delta }_0\text{in}{\mathbb{R}}^N,\hfill \\ \underset{|x|\to +\infty }{\lim }?u(x)=0,\hfill \end{array}$

where $N>2$, $p>0$, $k>0$, ${\delta }_0$ is the Dirac mass at the origin and the potential V is locally Lipchitz continuous in ${\mathbb{R}}^N?\{0\}$, with non-empty support and satisfying

$0\le V(x)\le \frac{{\sigma }_1}{|x{|}^{a_0}(1+|x{|}^{a_{\infty }?a_0})},$

with $a_0<N$, $a_0<a_{\infty }$ and ${\sigma }_1>0$. We obtain two positive solutions of (1) with additional conditions for parameters on $a_{\infty },a_0$, p and k. The first solution is a minimal positive solution and the second solution is constructed via Mountain Pass Theorem.
