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].     

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 ${?}_{t}u=\mathrm{\Delta }u+e^u$.     

The existence of three positive solutions of m-point boundary value problems for some dynamic equations on time scales

In this paper, we define a new operator which improves and generalizes a $p$-Laplacian operator for some $p>1$. By using this operator, we consider the existence of triple positive solutions of $m$-point boundary value problems for some dynamic equations on time scales $\begin{array}{c}{\left[\phi \left(p\left(t\right)u^{\Delta }\left(t\right)\right)\right]}^{?}+a\left(t\right)f\left(u\left(t\right)\right)=0\text{,}t\in {[0,T]}_{T^{\kappa }\cap T_k}\text{,}\hfill \\ u\left(0\right)?B_0\left(\sum _{i=1}^{m?2}{\alpha }_i{u}^{\Delta }\left({\xi }_i\right)\right)=0\text{,}{u}^{\Delta }\left(T\right)=0\text{,}\hfill \end{array}$ where $\phi :R\to R$ is an increasing homeomorphism and positive homomorphism and $\phi \left(0\right)=0$. We show the existence of at least three positive solutions with suitable growth conditions imposed on the nonlinear term by using a new fixed-point theorem.     

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.     

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.
