Isolated singularities of solutions to quasi-linear elliptic equations with absorption

We study the problem of removability of isolated singularities for a general second-order quasi-linear equation in divergence form −divA(x,u,∇u)+a₀(x,u)+g(x,u)=0 in a punctured domain Ω?{0}, where Ω is a domain in Rn, n?3. The model example is the equation −Δpu+gu|u|^p−2+u|u|^q−1=0, q>p−1>0, p<n. Assuming that the lower-order terms satisfy certain non-linear Kato-type conditions, we prove that for all point singularities of the above equation are removable, thus extending the seminal result of Brezis and Véron.     

Isolated singularities for some types of curvature equations

We consider the removability of isolated singularities for the curvature equations of the form H_k[u]=0, which is determined by the kth elementary symmetric function, in an n-dimensional domain. We prove that, for 1?k?n−1, isolated singularities of any viscosity solutions to the curvature equations are always removable, provided the solution can be extended continuously at the singularities. We also consider the class of “generalized solutions” and prove the removability of isolated singularities.     

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 $\epsilon \to 0$.     

Two types of quasilinear elliptic equations with degenerate coerciveness and slightly superlinear growth

The existence of positive solutions for two types of quasilinear elliptic equations with degenerate coerciveness and slightly superlinear growth is established. Especially, we solve an open problem proposed in the literature (Mercaldo and Peral, 2008).     

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.     

Bifurcation problems for a class of degenerate quasilinear elliptic equations

In this paper we consider the bifurcation problem -div A（x, u）=λa（x）｜u｜^p-2u＋f（x,u,λ） in Ω with p 〉 1.Under some proper assumptions on A（x,ξ）,a（x） and f（x,u,λ）,we show that the existence of an unbounded branch of positive solutions bifurcating Irom the principal eigenvalue of the problem --div A（x, u）=λa（x）｜u｜^p-2u.     

Some remarks on Liouville type results for quasilinear elliptic equations

For a wide class of nonlinearities satisfying

0$\space in $(0,a)$\space and $f(u)<0$\space in $(a,\infty)$ ,}\end{displaymath}">

we show that any nonnegative solution of the quasilinear equation over the entire must be a constant. Our results improve or complement some recently obtained Liouville type theorems. In particular, we completely answer a question left open by Du and Guo.

     

Potential bounds in problems on quasilinear elliptic equations

We study quasilinear elliptic equations with strong nonlinear terms and systems of such equations. The methods developed by the authors in [1], [2] are used to prove the existence of solutions for boundary—value problems using some information on behavior of potential bounds for nonlinearities; the L–characteristics of elliptic operators and their fractional powers play an important role. New conditions are suggested for the existence of classical solutions of quasilinear second order elliptic equations.     

Classification and non-existence results for weak solutions to quasilinear elliptic equations with Neumann or Robin boundary conditions

We classify positive solutions to a class of quasilinear equations with Neumann or Robin boundary conditions in convex domains. Our main tool is an integral formula involving the trace of some relevant quantities for the problem.Under a suitable condition on the nonlinearity, a relevant consequence of our results is that we can extend to weak solutions a celebrated result obtained for stable solutions by Casten and Holland and by Matano.     

Existence and multiplicity results for quasilinear elliptic differential systems

We use a nonsmooth critical point theory to prove existence results for a variational system of quasilinear elliptic equations in both the sublinear and superlinear cases. We extend a technique of Bartsch to obtain multiplicity results when the system is invariant under the action of a compact Lie group. The problem is rather different from its scalar version, because a suitable condition on the coefficients of the system seems to be necessary in order to prove the convergence of the Palais-Smale sequences. Such condition is in some sense a restriction to the "distance" between the quasilinear operator and a semilinear one.

A concentration-compactness principle at infinity and positive solutions of some quasilinear elliptic equations in unbounded domains

In this paper, we formulate a concentration-compactness principle at infinity which extends a result introduced by J. Chabrowski [Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations 3 (1995) 493-512]. Then we consider some quasilinear elliptic equations in some classes of unbounded domains by solving their corresponding constrained minimization problems under certain conditions. We show the existence of positive solutions of those equations via the concentration-compactness principle at infinity, which extends some results in [Differential Integral Equations 6 (1993) 1281-1298].     

On the removability of isolated singular points for degenerating nonlinear elliptic equations

The well known results on the removable singularity of elliptic equations are generalized to the class of degenerating nonlinear elliptic equations. A sufficient condition for the isolated singular point to be removable has been found. In the absence of degeneration, this condition coincides with already known results.
