Singular points of solutions of some elliptic systems on the plane

In the present paper, the structure of solutions of some important classes of singular elliptic systems on the plane are investigated. In particular, it is proved that the solutions of such systems have in principle nonanalytic behavior in the neighborhood of fixed singular points. These results make it possible to state correctly the boundary value problems and give their complete analysis.

Critical points of solutions of degenerate elliptic equations in the plane

We study the minimizer u of a convex functional in the plane which is not Gâteaux-differentiable. Namely, we show that the set of critical points of any C ¹-smooth minimizer can not have isolated points. Also, by means of some appropriate approximating scheme and viscosity solutions, we determine an Euler–Lagrange equation that u must satisfy. By applying the same approximating scheme, we can pair u with a function v which may be regarded as the stream function of u in a suitable generalized sense.

A note on regular points for solutions of elliptic systems

A vector valued function u(x), solution of a quasilinear elliptic system cannot be too close to a straight line without being regular.     

Singular systems on the plane and in space

The author studies singular systems, i.e., vector fields with a continuum of singular points, examines the bifurcation of a slow-fast separatrix loop, and establishes a criterion for the realizability of the slow field.     

Singular solutions of Hessian elliptic equations in five dimensions

We show that for any δ∈[0,1)$\delta \in [0,1)$ there exists a homogeneous order 2−δ$2-\delta$ analytic outside zero solution to a uniformly elliptic Hessian equation in R⁵${\mathbb{R}}^5$.     

Singular solutions of Hessian fully nonlinear elliptic equations

We study Hessian fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations and show that the second derivatives of viscosity solutions of those equations (in 12 or more dimensions) can blow up in an interior point of the domain. We prove that the optimal interior regularity of such solutions is no more than C1+?, showing the optimality of the known interior regularity result. The same is proven for Isaacs equations. We prove the existence of non-smooth solutions to fully nonlinear Hessian uniformly elliptic equations in 11 dimensions. We study also the possible singularity of solutions of Hessian equations defined in a neighborhood of a point and prove that a homogeneous order 0<α<1 solution of a Hessian uniformly elliptic equation in a punctured ball should be radial.     

Singular solutions of elliptic equations with nonstandard growth

We prove a removability result for nonlinear elliptic equations withp (x)‐type nonstandard growth and estimate the growth of solutions near a nonremovable isolated singularity. To accomplish this, we employ a Harnack estimate for possibly unbounded solutions and the fact that solutions with nonremovable isolated singularities are p (x)‐superharmonic functions (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Singular quasilinear elliptic systems involving gradient terms

In this paper we establish the existence of at least one smooth positive solution for a singular quasilinear elliptic system involving gradient terms. The approach combines the sub-supersolutions method and Schauder’s fixed point theorem.     

An index formula for elliptic systems in the plane

An index formula is proved for elliptic systems of P.D.E.'s with boundary values in a simply connected region in the plane. Let denote the elliptic operator and the boundary operator. In an earlier paper by the author, the algebraic condition for the Fredholm property, i.e. the Lopatinskii condition, was reformulated as follows. On the boundary, a square matrix function defined on the unit cotangent bundle of was constructed from the principal symbols of the coefficients of the boundary operator and a spectral pair for the family of matrix polynomials associated with the principal symbol of the elliptic operator. The Lopatinskii condition is equivalent to the condition that the function have invertible values. In the present paper, the index of is expressed in terms of the winding number of the determinant of .

     

Singular solutions of elliptic equations on a perturbed cone

In this work we obtain positive singular solutions of

$\{\begin{array}{ccc}?\mathrm{\Delta }u(y)\hfill & \hfill =\hfill & u{(y)}^p\text{ in }y\in {\mathrm{\Omega }}_t,\hfill \\ u\hfill & \hfill =\hfill & 0\text{ on }y\in ?{\mathrm{\Omega }}_t,\hfill \end{array}$

where ${\mathrm{\Omega }}_t$ is a sufficiently small $C^{2,\alpha }$ perturbation of the cone $\mathrm{\Omega }:=\{x\in {\mathbb{R}}^N:x=r\theta ,r>0,\theta \in S\}$ where $S?S^{N?1}$ has a smooth nonempty boundary and where $p>1$ satisfies suitable conditions. By singular solution we mean the solution is singular at the ‘vertex of the perturbed cone’. We also consider some other perturbations of the equation on the unperturbed cone Ω and here we use a different class of function spaces.     

Symmetry properties of solutions of semilinear elliptic equations in the plane

If g is a nondecreasing nonnegative continuous function we prove that any solution of –u+g(u)=0 in a half plane which blows-up locally on the boundary, in a fairly general way, depends only on the normal variable. We extend this result to problems in the complement of a disk. Our main application concerns the exponential nonlinearity g(u)=e^au, or power–like growths of g at infinity. Our method is based upon a combination of the Kelvin transform and moving plane method.Mathematics Subject Classification (1991): 35J60Revised version: 30 June 2004
