Multiple positive solutions for a semilinear elliptic equation with critical Sobolev exponent

In this paper, we study a class of semilinear elliptic equations with Hardy potential and critical Sobolev exponent. By means of the Ekeland variational principle and Mountain Pass theorem, multiple positive solutions are obtained.     

The convergence rate for a semilinear parabolic equation with a critical exponent

We study solutions to the Cauchy problem for a semilinear parabolic equation with a nonlinearity which is critical in the sense of Joseph and Lundgren and establish the rate of convergence to regular steady states. In the critical case, this rate contains a logarithmic term which does not appear in the supercritical case.     

Positive solution to semilinear parabolic equation associated with critical Sobolev exponent

We study the semilinear parabolic equation ${u_{t}- \Delta u = u^{p}, u \geq 0}$ on the whole space R ^N , ${N \geq 3}$ associated with the critical Sobolev exponent p = (N + 2)/(N ? 2). Similarly to the bounded domain case, there is threshold blowup modulus concerning the blowup in finite time. Furthermore, global in time behavior of the threshold solution is prescribed in connection with the energy level, blowup rate, and symmetry.     

Decay estimates for the critical semilinear wave equation

In this paper we prove that finite energy solutions (with added regularity) to the critical wave equation □u + u⁵ = 0 on ³ decay to zero in time. The proof is based on a global space-time estimate and dilation identity.

Multiplicity and uniqueness of positive solutions for nonhomogeneous semilinear elliptic equation with critical exponent

In this paper, we consider the following problem

$$\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - \Delta u\left( x \right) + u\left( x \right) = \lambda \left( {{u^p}\left( x \right) + h\left( x \right)} \right),\;x \in {\mathbb{R}^N},} \\ {u\left( x \right) \in {H^1}\left( {{\mathbb{R}^N}} \right),\;u\left( x \right) \succ 0,\;x \in {\mathbb{R}^N},\;} \end{array}} \right.\;\left( * \right)$$

, where λ > 0 is a parameter, p = (N+2)/(N?2). We will prove that there exists a positive constant 0 < λ* < +∞ such that (*) has a minimal positive solution for λ ∈ (0, λ*), no solution for λ > λ*, a unique solution for λ = λ*. Furthermore, (*) possesses at least two positive solutions when λ ∈ (0, λ*) and 3 ≤ N ≤ 5. For N ≥ 6, under some monotonicity conditions of h we show that there exists a constant 0 < λ** < λ* such that problem (*) possesses a unique solution for λ ∈ (0, λ**).

     

Rates of convergence to zero for a semilinear parabolic equation with a critical exponent

We study nonnegative solutions to the Cauchy problem for a semilinear parabolic equation with a nonlinearity which is critical in the sense of Joseph and Lundgren. We establish the rate of convergence to zero of solutions that start from initial data which are near the singular steady state. In the critical case, this rate contains a logarithmic term which does not appear in the supercritical case and makes the calculations more delicate.     

The critical Fujita exponent for a diffusion equation with a potential term

We study the initial-boundary-value problem of the diffusion equation u _t = Δu ^m ? V (x)u ^m + u ^p in a conelike domain D = [1,∞) × Ω, where V (x) ~ ω ₂ |x| ^?2 with ω ₂ > 0. Let ω ₁ denote the smallest Dirichlet eigenvalue for the Laplace–Beltrami operator on Ω, and let l denote the positive root of l ² + (n ? 2)l = ω ₁ + ω ₂. We prove that if m < p ≤ m + 2/(n + l), then the problem has no global nonnegative solutions for any nonnegative u ₀ unless u ₀ = 0; if p > m + 2/(n + l), then the problem has global solutions for some \( {u_0}\gneq 0 \) .     

Critical exponent for semilinear damped wave equations in the N-dimensional half space

We generalize a previous result of Ikehata (Math. Methods Appl. Sci., in press), which studies the critical exponent problem of a semilinear damped wave equation in the one-dimensional half space, to the general N-dimensional half space case. That is to say, one can show the small data global existence of solutions of a mixed problem for the equation u_tt−Δu+u_t=|u|^p with the power p satisfying p∗(N)=1+2/(N+1)<p?N/[N−2]+ if we deal with the problem in the N-dimensional half space.

Second critical exponent for a higher-order semilinear parabolic system

This paper studies a higher-order semilinear parabolic system. We obtain the second critical exponent to characterize the critical space-decay rate of the initial data in the co-existence parameter region of global and non-global solutions. Together with the critical Fujita exponent established by Pang et al.(2006),this gives a clear and complete picture to the Fujita phenomena in the coupled higher-order semilinear parabolic system.
