Multiple solutions for a Schrdinger-Poisson-Slater equation with external Coulomb potential

Consider the following Schrdinger-Poisson-Slater system,(P)u+ω-β|x|u+λφ(x)u=|u|p-1u,x∈R3,-φ=u2,u∈H1(R3),whereω0,λ0 andβ0 are real numbers,p∈(1,2).Forβ=0,it is known that problem(P)has no nontrivial solution ifλ0 suitably large.Whenβ0,-β/|x|is an important potential in physics,which is called external Coulomb potential.In this paper,we find that(P)withβ0 has totally different properties from that ofβ=0.Forβ0,we prove that(P)has a ground state and multiple solutions ifλcp,ω,where cp,ω0 is a constant which can be expressed explicitly viaωand p.     

Nonradial Entire Large Solutions of Semilinear Elliptic Equations

We consider the problem of whether the equation △u = p（x）f（u） on RN, N ≥ 3, has a positive solution for which lim ｜x｜→∞（x） = ∞ where f is locally Lipschitz continuous, positive, and nondecreasing on （0,oo） and satisfies ∫1∞[F （t）]^- 1/2dt = ∞ where F（t） = ∫0^tf（s）ds. The nonnegative function p is assumed to be asymptotically radial in a certain sense. We show that a sufficient condition to ensure such a solution u exists is that p satisfies ∫0∞ r min｜x｜=r P （x） dr = ∞. Conversely, we show that a necessary condition for the solution to exist is that p satisfies ∫0∞r1＋ε min ｜x｜=rp（x）dr =∞ for all ε〉0.

Here the initial values are compactly supported and Ω belong to R^N is a bounded open region. The blow-up curve, blow-up rate and profile of the solution are discussed.

Suppose that u ∈ C^2（^-Ω） is a solution to the following problem： det（uij） = K（x）f（x,u, Du） in Ω with u = 0 on аΩ. Then u ∈ C^∞（f）） provided that f（x,u,p） is smooth and positive in ^-Ω × R × R^2, K〉0 in Ω and near αΩ, K = d^m ^-K, where d is the distance to αΩ, m some integer bigger than 1 and ^-K smooth and positive on ^-Ω.

In this paper, we study the higher-order semilinear parabolic system{ut＋（-△）^mu=a｜v｜^p-1v,（t,x）∈R^1＋×R^N,vt＋（-△）^mv=b｜u｜^q-1u,（t,x）∈R^1＋×R^N,u（0,x）=φ（x）,v（0,x）=ψ（x）,x∈R^N, where m, p,q 〉 1, a,b ∈R. We prove that the global existence of mild solutions for small initial data with respect to certain norms. Some of these solutions are proved to be asymptotically self-similar.     

GLOBAL ASYMPTOTICS TOWARD THE REREFACTION WAVES FOR A PARABOLIC-ELLIPTIC SYSTEM RELATED TO THE CAMASSA-HOLM SHALLOW WATER EQUATION

This article is concerned with the global existence and large time behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem for a parabolic-elliptic system related to the Camassa-Holm shallow water equation {ut＋（u^2/2）x＋px=εuxx, t〉0,x∈R, -αPxx＋P=f（u）＋α/2ux^2-1/2u^2, t〉0,x∈R, （E） with the initial data u（0,x）=u0（x）→u±, as x→±∞ （I） Here, u_ 〈 u＋ are two constants and f（u） is a sufficiently smooth function satisfying f＂ （u） 〉 0 for all u under consideration. Main aim of this article is to study the relation between solutions to the above Cauchy problem and those to the Riemann problem of the following nonlinear conservation law It is well known that if u_ 〈 u＋, the above Riemann problem admits a unique global entropy solution u^R（x/t） u^R（x/t）={u_,（f′）^-1（x/t）,u＋, x≤f′（u_）t, f′（u_）t≤x≤f′（u＋）t, x≥f′（u＋）t. Let U（t, x） be the smooth approximation of the rarefaction wave profile constructed similar to that of [21, 22, 23], we show that if u0（x） - U（0,x） ∈ H^1（R） and u_ 〈 u＋, the above Cauchy problem （E） and （I） admits a unique global classical solution u（t, x） which tends to the rarefaction wave u^R（x/t） as → ＋∞ in the maximum norm. The proof is given by an elementary energy method.     

SIGN-CHANGING SOLUTIONS FOR SCHRODINGER EQUATIONS WITH VANISHING AND SIGN-CHANGING POTENTIALS

In this article, we study the existence of sign-changing solutions for the following SchrSdinger equation
-△u ＋ λV（x）u = K（x）｜u｜^p-2u x∈R^N, u→0 as ｜x｜→ ＋∞,
2N where N ≥ 3, λ〉 0 is a parameter, 2 〈 p 〈 2N/N-2, and the potentials V（x） and K（x） satisfy some suitable conditions. By using the method based on invariant sets of the descending flow, we obtain the existence of a positive ground state solution and a ground state sign-changing solution of the above equation for small λ, which is a complement of the results obtained by Wang and Zhou in [J. Math. Phys. 52, 113704, 2011].     

Quasilinear elliptic equations with Neumann boundary and singularity

Let Ω be a bounded domain with a smooth C2 boundary in RN（N ≥ 3）, 0 ∈Ω, and n denote the unit outward normal to ЭΩ.We are concerned with the Neumann boundary problems： -div（｜x｜α｜△u｜p-2△u）=｜x｜βup（α,β）-1-λ｜x｜γup-1,u（x）〉0,x∈Ω,Эu/Эn=0 on ЭΩ,where 1〈p〈N and α〈0,β〈0 such that p（α,β）△=p（N＋β）/N-p＋α〉p,y〉α-p.For various parameters α,βorγ,we establish certain existence results of the solutions in the case 0∈Ω or 0∈ЭΩ.     

Uniqueness and radial symmetry of least energy solution for a semilinear Neumann problem

Consider the following Neumann problem
d△u- u ＋ k（x）u^p = 0 and u 〉 0 in B1, δu/δv =0 on OB1,
where d 〉 0, B1 is the unit ball in R^N, k（x） = k（｜x｜） ≠ 0 is nonnegative and in C（-↑B1）, 1 〈 p 〈 N＋2/N-2 with N≥ 3. It was shown in [2] that, for any d 〉 0, problem （＊） has no nonconstant radially symmetric least energy solution if k（x） ≡ 1. By an implicit function theorem we prove that there is d0 〉 0 such that （＊） has a unique radially symmetric least energy solution if d 〉 d0, this solution is constant if k（x） ≡ 1 and nonconstant if k（x） ≠ 1. In particular, for k（x） ≡ 1, do can be expressed explicitly.

W0^1p（x） Versus C^1 Local Minimizers for a Functional with Critical Growth

Let Ω IR^N, （N ≥ 2） be a bounded smooth domain, p is Holder continuous on Ω^-,
1 〈 p^- ：= inf pΩ（x） ≤ p＋ = supp（x） Ω〈∞,
and f：Ω^-× IR be a C^1 function with f（x,s） ≥ 0, V （x,s） ∈Ω × R^＋ and sup ∈Ωf（x,s） ≤ C（1＋s）^q（x）, Vs∈IR^＋,Vx∈Ω for some 0〈q（x） ∈C（Ω^-） satisfying 1 〈p（x） 〈q（x） ≤p^＊ （x） -1, Vx ∈Ω ^- and 1 〈 p^- ≤ p^＋ ≤ q- ≤ q＋. As usual, p＊ （x） = Np（x）/N-p（x） if p（x） 〈 N and p^＊ （x） = ∞- if p（x） if p（x） 〉 N. Consider the functional I： W0^1,p（x） （Ω） →IR defined as
I（u） def= ∫Ω1/p（x）｜△｜^p（x）dx-∫ΩF（x,u^＋）dx,Vu∈W0^1,p（x）（Ω）,
where F （x, u） = ∫0^s f （x,s） ds. Theorem 1.1 proves that if u0 ∈ C^1 （Ω^-） is a local minimum of I in the C1 （Ω^-） ∩C0 （Ω^-）） topology, then it is also a local minimum in W0^1,p（x） （Ω）） topology. This result is useful for proving multiple solutions to the associated Euler-lagrange equation （P） defined below.     

Asymptotics for the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers Equation

We study large time asymptotics of solutions to the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation ut＋uux-uxx＋uxxx=0,x∈R,t〉0. We are interested in the large time asymptotics for the case when the initial data have an arbitrary size. We prove that if the initial data u0 ∈H^s （R）∩L^1 （R）, where s 〉 -1/2, then there exists a unique solution u （t, x） ∈C^∞ （（0,∞）;H^∞ （R）） to the Cauchy problem for the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation, which has asymptotics u（t）=t^-1/2fM（（·）t^-1/2）＋0（t^-1/2） as t →∞, where fM is the self-similar solution for the Burgers equation. Moreover if xu0 （x） ∈ L^1 （R）, then the asymptotics are true u（t）=t^-1/2fM（（·）t^-1/2）＋O（t^-1/2-γ） where γ ∈ （0, 1/2）.     

Local solvability of the cauchy problem of a fifth-order nonlinear dispersive equation

The solvability of the fifth-order nonlinear dispersive equation δtu＋au （δxu）^2＋βδx^3u＋γδx^5u = 0 is studied. By using the approach of Kenig, Ponce and Vega and some Strichartz estimates for the corresponding linear problem,it is proved that if the initial function u0 belongs to H^5（R） and s〉1/4,then the Cauchy problem has a unique solution in C（[-T,T],H^5（R）） for some T〉0.     

The existence of nontrivial solutions to a semilinear elliptic system on without the ambrosetti-rabinowitz condition

In this paper, we prove the existence of at least one positive solution pair （u, v）∈ H1（RN） × H1（RN） to the following semilinear elliptic system {-△u＋u=f（x,v）,x∈RN,-△u＋u=g（x,v）,x∈RN （0.1）,by using a linking theorem and the concentration-compactness principle. The main conditions we imposed on the nonnegative functions f, g ∈C0（RN× R1） are that, f（x, t） and g（x, t） are superlinear at t = 0 as well as at t =＋∞, that f and g are subcritical in t and satisfy a kind of monotonic conditions. We mention that we do not assume that f or g satisfies the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition as usual. Our main result can be viewed as an extension to a recent result of Miyagaki and Souto [J. Diff. Equ. 245（2008）, 3628-3638] concerning the existence of a positive solution to the semilinear elliptic boundary value problem {-△u＋u=f（x,u）,x∈Ω,u∈H0^1（Ω） where Ω ∩→RN is bounded and a result of Li and Yang [G. Li and J. Yang： Communications in P.D.E. Vol. 29（2004） Nos.5＆ 6.pp.925-954, 2004] concerning （0.1） when f and g are asymptotically linear.     

Local and Global Existence of Solutions to Initial Value Problems of Nonlinear Kaup-Kupershmidt Equations

This paper is devoted to studying the initial value problems of the nonlinear Kaup Kupershmidt equations δu/δt ＋ α1 uδ^2u/δx^2 ＋ βδ^3u/δx^3 ＋ γδ^5u/δx^5 = 0, （x,t）∈ E R^2, and δu/δt ＋ α2 δu/δx δ^2u/δx^2 ＋ βδ^3u/δx^3 ＋ γδ^5u/δx^5 = 0, （x, t） ∈R^2. Several important Strichartz type estimates for the fundamental solution of the corresponding linear problem are established. Then we apply such estimates to prove the local and global existence of solutions for the initial value problems of the nonlinear Kaup- Kupershmidt equations. The results show that a local solution exists if the initial function u0（x） ∈ H^s（R）, and s ≥ 5/4 for the first equation and s≥301/108 for the second equation.     

Singularity of the Extremal Solution for Supercritical Biharmonic Equations with Power-Type Nonlinearity

Let B  R~n be the unit ball centered at the origin. The authors consider the following biharmonic equation:{?~2u = λ(1 + u)~p in B,u =?u/?ν= 0 on ?B, where p n+4/ n-4and ν is the outward unit normal vector. It is well-known that there exists a λ* 0 such that the biharmonic equation has a solution for λ∈ (0, λ*) and has a unique weak solution u*with parameter λ = λ*, called the extremal solution. It is proved that u* is singular when n ≥ 13 for p large enough and satisfies u*≤ r~(-4/ (p-1)) - 1 on the unit ball, which actually solve a part of the open problem left in [D`avila, J., Flores, I., Guerra, I., Multiplicity of solutions for a fourth order equation with power-type nonlinearity, Math. Ann., 348(1), 2009, 143–193] .     

Traveling Waves and Capillarity Driven Spreading of Shear-Thinning Fluids

We study capillary spreadings of thin films of liquids of power-law rheology. These satisfy ut＋（u^λ＋2｜uxxx｜^λ-1uxxx）x=0,where u （x, t） represents the thickness of the one-dimensional liquid and λ 〉 1. We look for traveling wave solutions so that u（x,t） =g（x＋ct） and thus g satisfies g＇＇＇=｜g-ε｜^1/λ/g^1＋2/λ sgn（g-ε） We show that for each ε 〉 0 there is an infinitely oscillating solution, gε, such that limt→∞ gε=ε and that gε→ g0 as ε → O, where g0≡ 0 for t ≥ 0 and g0=cλ｜t｜3λ/2λ＋1 for t〈0 for some constant cλ.

By Karamata regular variation theory and constructing comparison functions, the author shows the existence and global optimal asymptotic behaviour of solutions for a semilinear elliptic problem Δu = k（x）g（u）, u 〉 0, x ∈ Ω, u｜δΩ =＋∞, where Ω is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in R^N; g ∈ C^1[0, ∞）, g（0） = g＇（0） = 0, and there exists p 〉 1, such that lim g（sξ）/g（s）=ξ^p, ↓Aξ 〉 0, and k ∈ Cloc^α（Ω） is non-negative non-trivial in D which may be singular on the boundary.     

Existence Results for a Class of Semilinear Elliptic Systems

In this paper, we study the existence of nontrivial solutions for the problem
{-△u=f（x,u,v）＋h1（x）in Ω
-△v=g（x,u,v）＋h2（x）inΩ
u=v=0 onδΩ
where Ω is bounded domain in R^N and h1,h2 ∈ L^2 （Ω）. The existence result is obtained by using the Leray-Schauder degree under the following condition on the nonlinearities f and g：
{lim s,｜t｜→＋∞f（x,s,t）/s=lim ｜s｜,t→＋∞g（x,s,t）/t=λ＋1 uniformly on Ω,
lim -s,｜t｜→＋∞f（x,s,t）/s=lim ｜s｜,-t→＋∞g（x,s,t）/t=λ-,uniformly on Ω,
where λ＋,λ-∈（0）∪σ（-△）,σ（-△）denote the spectrum of -△. The cases （i） where λ＋ = λ_ and （ii） where λ＋≠λ_ such that the closed interval with endpoints λ＋,λ_ contains at most one simple eigenvatue of -△ are considered.
