Multiplicity of positive solutions for semilinear elliptic problems in unbounded domains

In this paper, we study the effect of domain shape on the multiplicity of positive solutions for the semilinear elliptic equations. We prove a Palais-Smale condition in unbounded domains and assert that the semilinear elliptic equation in unbounded domains has multiple positive solutions.     

Stable solutions of semilinear elliptic problems in convex domains

In this note, we consider semilinear equations , with zero Dirichlet boundary condition, for smooth and nonnegative f, in smooth, bounded, strictly convex domains of . We study positive classical solutions that are semi-stable. A solution u is said to be semi-stable if the linearized operator at u is nonnegative definite. We show that in dimension two, any positive semi-stable solution has a unique, nondegenerate, critical point. This point is necessarily the maximum of u. As a consequence, all level curves of u are simple, smooth and closed. Moreover, the nondegeneracy of the critical point implies that the level curves are strictly convex in a neighborhood of the maximum of u. Some extensions of this result to higher dimensions are also discussed.

环域上一类拟线性椭圆型方程的正径向解的存在性

The existence of positive radial solutions of the equation -din( |Du|p-2Du)=f(u) is studied in annular domains in Rn,n≥2. It is proved that if f(0)≥0, f is somewherenegative in (0,∞), limu→0^ f‘ (u)=0 and limu→∞ (f(u)/u^p-1)=∞, then there is alarge positive radial solution on all annuli. If f(0)≤0 and satisfies certain conditions, then the equation has no radial solution if the annuli are too wide.     

A reduction method for semilinear elliptic equations and solutions concentrating on spheres

We show that any general semilinear elliptic problem with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions in an annulus A⊆R^2m$A\subseteq {\mathbb{R}}^{2m}$, m?2$m?2$, invariant by the action of a certain symmetry group can be reduced to a nonhomogeneous similar problem in an annulus D⊂R^m+1$D\subset {\mathbb{R}}^{m+1}$, invariant by another related symmetry. We apply this result to prove the existence of positive and sign changing solutions of a singularly perturbed elliptic problem in A   which concentrate on one or two (m−1)$(m-1)$ dimensional spheres. We also prove that the Morse indices of these solutions tend to infinity as the parameter of concentration tends to infinity.     

Bounded positive solutions of semilinear elliptic equations

In this paper, by using the fixed point theory, under quite general conditions on the nonlinear term, we obtain an existence result of bounded positive solutions of semilinear elliptic equations in exterior domain of Rn, n?3.     

Asymptotic behavior of solutions of semilinear elliptic equations in unbounded domains: Two approaches

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior as x₁→+∞ of solutions of semilinear elliptic equations in quarter- or half-spaces, for which the value at x₁=0 is given. We prove the uniqueness and characterize the one-dimensional or constant profile of the solutions at infinity. To do so, we use two different approaches. The first one is a pure PDE approach and it is based on the maximum principle, the sliding method and some new Liouville type results for elliptic equations in the half-space or in the whole space RN. The second one is based on the theory of dynamical systems.     

Positive solutions to sublinear second-order divergence type elliptic equations in cone-like domains

Multiplicity and asymptotic behavior of solutions for quasilinear elliptic equations with small perturbations

This paper considers the following general form of quasilinear elliptic equation with a small perturbation:$\{\begin{array}{c}?{\sum }_{i,j=1}^N{D}_j(a_{ij}(x,u)D_{i}u)+\frac{1}{2}{\sum }_{i,j=1}^N{D}_t{a}_{ij}(x,u)D_{i}u{D}_{j}u\hfill \\ =f(x,u)+\epsilon g(x,u),x\in \mathrm{\Omega },u\in H_0^1(\mathrm{\Omega }),\hfill \end{array}$ where $\mathrm{\Omega }?{\mathbb{R}}^N(N\ge 3)$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary and $|\epsilon |$ small enough. We assume the main term in the equation to have a mountain pass structure but do not suppose any conditions for the perturbation term $\epsilon g(x,u)$. Then we prove the equation possesses a positive solution, a negative solution and a sign-changing solution. Moreover, we are able to obtain the asymptotic behavior of these solutions as $\epsilon \to 0$.     

Exact multiplicity and global structure of solutions for a class of semilinear elliptic equations

In this paper, we establish an exact multiplicity result of solutions for a class of semilinear elliptic equation. We also obtain a precise global bifurcation diagram of the solution set. As a result, an open problem presented by C.-H. Hsu and Y.-W. Shih [C.-H. Hsu, Y.-W. Shih, Solutions of semilinear elliptic equations with asymptotic linear nonlinearity, Nonlinear Anal. 50 (2002) 275-283] is completely solved. Our argument is mainly based on bifurcation theory and continuation method.     

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].     

Existence and uniqueness of positive solution for nonhomogeneous sublinear elliptic equations

In this paper, we study the existence and the uniqueness of positive solution for the sublinear elliptic equation, −Δu+u=p|u|sgn(u)+f in RN, N?3, 0<p<1, f∈L²(RN), f>0 a.e. in RN. We show by applying a minimizing method on the Nehari manifold that this problem has a unique positive solution in H¹(RN)∩Lp+1(RN). We study its continuity in the perturbation parameter f at 0.
