ON A BI-HARMONIC EQUATION INVOLVING CRITICAL EXPONENT: EXISTENCE AND MULTIPLICITY RESULTS

In this paper, we consider the problem of existence as well as multiplicity results for a bi-harmonic equation under the Navier boundary conditions: △2 u = K(x)u p , u > 0 in Ω , △u = u = 0 on Ω , where Ω is a smooth domain in R n , n 5, and p + 1 = 2 n n 4 is the critical Sobolev exponent. We obtain highlightly a new criterion of existence, which provides existence results for a dense subset of positive functions, and generalizes Bahri-Coron type criterion in dimension six. Our argument gives also estimates on the Morse index of the obtained solutions and extends some known results. Moreover, it provides, for generic K, Morse inequalities at infinity, which delivers lower bounds for the number of solutions. As further applications of this Morse theoretical approach, we prove more existence results.     

Harnack Differential Inequalities for the Parabolic Equation ut=LF(u) on Riemannian Manifolds and Applications

In this paper, let(M~n, g) be an n-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold with the mdimensional Bakry–mery Ricci curvature bounded below. By using the maximum principle, we first prove a Li–Yau type Harnack differential inequality for positive solutions to the parabolic equation u_t= LF(u)=ΔF(u)-f·F(u),on compact Riemannian manifolds Mn, where F∈C~2(0, ∞), F0 and f is a C~2-smooth function defined on M~n. As application, the Harnack differential inequalities for fast diffusion type equation and porous media type equation are derived. On the other hand, we derive a local Hamilton type gradient estimate for positive solutions of the degenerate parabolic equation on complete Riemannian manifolds. As application, related local Hamilton type gradient estimate and Harnack inequality for fast dfiffusion type equation are established. Our results generalize some known results.     

A critical Trudinger-Moser inequality involving a degenerate potential and nonlinear Schrödinger equations

The classical critical Trudinger-Moser inequality in R~2 under the constraint ∫_(R_2)(|▽u|~2+|u|~2)dx≤1 was established through the technique of blow-up analysis or the rearrangement-free argument:for any τ 0,it holds that ■ and 4π is sharp.However,if we consider the less restrictive constraint ∫_(R_2)(|▽u|~2+|u|~2)dx≤1,where V(x) is nonnegative and vanishes on an open set in R~2,it is unknown whether the sharp constant of the Trudinger-Moser inequality is still 4π.The loss of a positive lower bound of the potential V(x) makes this problem become fairly nontrivial.The main purpose of this paper is twofold.We will first establish the Trudinger-Moser inequality ■ when V is nonnegative and vanishes on an open set in R~2.As an application,we also prove the existence of ground state solutions to the following Sciridinger equations with critical exponeitial growth:-Δu+V(x)u=f u) in R~2,(0.1)where V(x)≥0 and vanishes on an open set of R~2 and f has critical exponential growth.Having a positive constant lower bound for the potential V(x)(e.g.,the Rabinowitz type potential) has been the standard assumption when one deals with the existence of solutions to the above Schr?dinger equations when the nonlinear term has the exponential growth.Our existence result seems to be the first one without this standard assumption.     

The existence and concentration of weak solutions to a class of p-Laplacian type problems in unbounded domains

In this paper,we study the existence and concentration of weak solutions to the p-Laplacian type elliptic problem-εp△pu+V(z)|u|p-2u-f(u)=0 in Ω,u=0 on ■Ω,u0 in Ω,Np2,where Ω is a domain in RN,possibly unbounded,with empty or smooth boundary,εis a small positive parameter,f∈C1(R+,R)is of subcritical and V:RN→R is a locally Hlder continuous function which is bounded from below,away from zero,such that infΛVmin ■ΛV for some open bounded subset Λ of Ω.We prove that there is anε00 such that for anyε∈(0,ε0],the above mentioned problem possesses a weak solution uεwith exponential decay.Moreover,uεconcentrates around a minimum point of the potential V inΛ.Our result generalizes a similar result by del Pino and Felmer(1996)for semilinear elliptic equations to the p-Laplacian type problem.     

On the Complex Difference Equation of Hypergeometric Type on Non-uniform Lattices

In this article,we obtain a new fundamental theorems for Nikiforov-Uvarov-Suslov complex difference equation of hypergeometric type by the method of Euler integral transformation,its expression is different from Suslov’s Theorem.We also establish the adjoint equation for Nikiforov-Uvarov-Suslov difference equation of hypergeometric type on non-uniform lattices,and prove it to be a difference equation of hypergeometric type on non-uniform lattices as well.The particular solutions of the adjoint equation are then obtained.As an appliction of these particular solutions,we use them to obtain the particular solutions for the original difference equation of hypergeometric type on non-uniform lattices and other important results.     

MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS FOR THE p＆q-LAPLACIAN PROBLEM WITH CRITICAL EXPONENT

In this paper, we study the existence of multiple solutions for the following nonlinear elliptic problem of p＆q-Laplacian type involving the critical Sobolev exponent：{-△pu-△qu=│u│^p＊-2u＋μ│u│^r-2u in Ω u│δΩ=0,where Ω belong to R^N is a bounded domain,N〉p,p^＊=Np/N-p is the critical Sobolev exponent and μ 〉0. We prove that if 1 〈 r 〈 q 〈 p 〈 N, then there is a μ0 〉 0, such that for any μ∈ （0, μ0）, the above mentioned problem possesses infinitely many weak solutions. Our result generalizes a similar result in [8] for p-Laplacian type problem.     

EXISTENCE,MULTIPLICITY AND STABILITY RESULTS FOR POSITIVE SOLUTIONS OF NONLINEAR p-LAPLACIAN EQUATIONS

This paper studies the existence of positive solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the nonlinear equation involving p-Laplacian operator:-△pu=λf(u) on a bounded smooth domain Ω in Rn. The authors extend part of the Crandall-Rabinowitz bifurcation theory to this problem. Typical examples are checked in detail and multiplicity of the solutions are illustrated. Then the stability for the associated parabolic equation is considered and a Fujita-type result is presented.     

一类奇异三阶三点边值问题的正解

In this paper,we study the existence of positive solutions for the nonlinear singular third-order three-point boundary value problemu （t） = λa（t）f（t,u（t））,u（0） = u （1） = u （η） = 0,where λ is a positive parameter and 0 ≤ η 1 2 .By using the classical Krasnosel’skii’s fixed point theorem in cone,we obtain various new results on the existence of positive solution,and the solution is strictly increasing.Finally we give an example.     

MULTIPLICITY AND CONCENTRATION BEHAVIOUR OF POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR SCHRDINGER-KIRCHHOFF TYPE EQUATIONS INVOLVING THE p-LAPLACIAN IN R~N

In this article, we study the multiplicity and concentration behavior of positive solutions for the p-Laplacian equation of Schrdinger-Kirchhoff type -εpMεp_N∫RN|▽u|p△pu+V(x)|u|p-2u=f(u) in R~N, where △_p is the p-Laplacian operator, 1 p N, M :R~+→R~+ and V :R~N→R~+are continuous functions,ε is a positive parameter, and f is a continuous function with subcritical growth. We assume that V satisfies the local condition introduced by M. del Pino and P. Felmer. By the variational methods, penalization techniques, and LyusternikSchnirelmann theory, we prove the existence, multiplicity, and concentration of solutions for the above equation.     

Infinitely Many Solutions for Schr?dinger–Choquard–Kirchhoff Equations Involving the Fractional p-Laplacian

In this article,we show the existence of infinitely many solutions for the fractional pLaplacian equations of Schr?dinger-Kirchhoff type equation ■ ,where(-△)_p~s is the fractional p-Laplacian operator,[u]_(s,p) is the Gagliardo p-seminorm,0 s 1 q p N/s,α∈(0,N),M and V are continuous and positive functions,and k(x) is a non-negative function in an appropriate Lebesgue space.Combining the concentration-compactness principle in fractional Sobolev space and Kajikiya's new version of the symmetric mountain pass lemma,we obtain the existence of infinitely many solutions which tend to zero for suitable positive parameters λ and β.     

Relative rearrangement and Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent

We apply the techniques of monotone and relative rearrangements to the nonrearrangement invariant spaces L^p()(Ω) with variable exponent. In particular, we show that the maps uL^p()(Ω)→k(t)u_*L^p_*()(0,measΩ) and uL^p()(Ω)→u_*L^p*()(0,measΩ) are locally -Hölderian (u_* (resp. p^*) is the decreasing (resp. increasing) rearrangement of u (resp. p)). The pointwise relations for the relative rearrangement are applied to derive the Sobolev embedding with eventually discontinuous exponents.     

Density and invariant means in left amenable semigroups

A left cancellative and left amenable semigroup S satisfies the Strong Følner Condition. That is, given any finite subset H of S and any >0, there is a finite nonempty subset F of S such that for each sH, |sFF|<|F|. This condition is useful in defining a very well behaved notion of density, which we call Følner density, via the notion of a left Følner net, that is a net F_ααD of finite nonempty subsets of S such that for each sS, (|sF_αF_α|)/|F_α| converges to 0. Motivated by a desire to show that this density behaves as it should on cartesian products, we were led to consider the set LIM₀(S) which is the set of left invariant means which are weak^* limits in l_∞(S)^* of left Følner nets. We show that the set of all left invariant means is the weak^* closure of the convex hull of LIM₀(S). (If S is a left amenable group, this is a relatively old result of C. Chou.) We obtain our desired density result as a corollary. We also show that the set of left invariant means on is actually equal to . We also derive some properties of the extreme points of the set of left invariant means on S, regarded as measures on βS, and investigate the algebraic implications of the assumption that there is a left invariant mean on S which is non-zero on some singleton subset of βS.     

Exact solitary and periodic wave solutions for a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation

The generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation (GNLS) iu_t + u_xx + βu²u + γu⁴u + iα (u²u)_x + iτ(u²)_xu = 0 is studied. Using the bifurcation of travelling waves of this equation, some exact solitary wave solutions were obtained in [Wang W, Sun J,Chen G, Bifurcation, Exact solutions and nonsmooth behavior of solitary waves in the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Int J Bifucat Chaos 2005:3295–305.]. In this paper, more explicit exact solitary wave solutions and some new smooth periodic wave solutions are obtained.     

On some d-dimensional dual hyperovals in

Let d≥3. Let H be a d+1-dimensional vector space over GF(2) and {e₀,…,e_d} be a specified basis of H. We define Supp(t){e_t1,…,e_tl}, a subset of a specified base for a non-zero vector t=e_t1++e_tl of H, and Supp(0)0/. We also define J(t)Supp(t) if |Supp(t)| is odd, and J(t)Supp(t){0} if |Supp(t)| is even.For s,tH, let {a(s,t)} be elements of H(HH) which satisfy the following conditions: (1) a(s,s)=(0,0), (2) a(s,t)=a(t,s), (3) a(s,t)≠(0,0) if s≠t, (4) a(s,t)=a(s^′,t^′) if and only if {s,t}={s^′,t^′}, (5) {a(s,t)|tH} is a vector space over GF(2), (6) {a(s,t)|s,tH} generate H(HH). Then, it is known that S{X(s)|sH}, where X(s){a(s,t)|tH{s}}, is a dual hyperoval in PG(d(d+3)/2,2)=(H(HH)){(0,0)}.In this note, we assume that, for s,tH, there exists some x_s,t in GF(2) such that a(s,t) satisfies the following equation: Then, we prove that the dual hyperoval constructed by {a(s,t)} is isomorphic to either the Huybrechts’ dual hyperoval, or the Buratti and Del Fra’s dual hyperoval.     

Strong characterizing sequences for subgroups of compact groups

In [A. Biró, V.T. Sós, Strong characterizing sequences in simultaneous Diophantine approximation, J. Number Theory 99 (2003) 405–414] we proved that if Γ is a subgroup of the torus R/Z generated by finitely many independent irrationals, then there is an infinite subset AZ which characterizes Γ in the sense that for γR/Z we have ∑_aAaγ<∞ if and only if γΓ. Here we consider a general compact metrizable Abelian group G instead of R/Z, and we characterize its finitely generated free subgroups Γ by subsets AG^*, where G^* is the Pontriagin dual of G. For this case we prove stronger forms of the analogue of the theorem of the above mentioned work, and we find necessary and sufficient conditions for a kind of strengthening of this statement to be true.     

The Approximation Functional and Interpolation with Perturbed Continuity

The continuity conditions at the endpoints of interpolation theorems, Ta_BjM_j a_Aj for j=0, 1, can be written with the help of the approximation functional: E(t, Ta; B₁, B₀)_L^∞M₀ a_A0 and E(t, Ta; B₀, B₁)_L^∞M₁ a_A1. As a special case of the results we present here we show that in the hypotheses of the interpolation theorem the L^∞ norms can be replaced by BMO( ₊) norms. This leads to a strong version of the Stein-Weiss theorem on interpolation with change of measure. Another application of our results is that the condition fL⁰, i.e., f*L^∞, where f*(γ)=μ{|f|>γ} is the distribution function of f, can be replaced in interpolation with L(p, q) spaces by the weaker f*BMO( ₊).     

LOCAL TIME ANALYSIS OF ADDITIVE LEVY PROCESSES WITH DIFFERENT L(E)VY EXPONENTS

Let X1 XN be independent, classical Levy processes on R^d with Levy exponents ψ1,…, ψN, respectively. The corresponding additive Levy process is defined as the following N-parameter random field on R^d, X（t） △= X1（t1） ＋ ... ＋ XN（tN）, At∈N. Under mild regularity conditions on the ψi＇s, we derive estimate for the local and uniform moduli of continuity of local times of X = {X（t）; t ∈R^N}.     

The eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian equations

This article studies the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian equations △u = -λu, x ∈Ω, u = 0, x ∈ (δ)Ω, where Ω (∩) Rn is a smooth bounded convex domain. By using the method of appropriate barrier function combined with the maximum principle, authors obtain a sharp lower bound of the difference of the first two eigenvalues for the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem. This study improves the result of S.T.Yau et al.

Let L_q (1q<∞) be the space of functions f measurable on I=[−1,1] and integrable to the power q, with normL_∞ is the space of functions measurable on I with normWe denote by AC the set of all functions absolutely continuous on I. For nN, q[1,∞] we setW_n,q={f:f⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾AC, f⁽ⁿ⁾L_q}.In this paper, we consider the problem of accuracy of constants A, B in the inequalities (1)|| f^(m)||_qA|| f||_p+B|| f^(m+k+1)||_r, mN, kW; p,q,r[1,∞], fW_m+k+1,r.
