Sub-harmonicity,monotonicity formula and finite Morse index solutions of an elliptic equation with negative exponent

A monotonicity formula for stable solutions to a class of weighted semilinear elliptic equations with "negative exponent" is established.It is well known that such a monotonicity formula plays an essential role in the study of finite Morse index solutions of equations with "positive exponent".Unlike the positive exponent case,we will see that both the monotonicity formula and the sub-harmonicity play crucial roles in classifying positive finite Morse index solutions to the equations with negative exponent and obtaining sharp results for their asymptotic behaviors.     

Morse theory for indefinite nonlinear elliptic problems

Using the heat flow as a deformation, a Morse theory for the solutions of the nonlinear elliptic equation:

−Δu−λu=a₊(x)|u|^q−1u−a₋(x)|u|^p−1u+h(x,u)$-\mathrm{\Delta }u-\lambda u=a_{+}(x){|u|}^{q-1}u-a_{-}(x){|u|}^{p-1}u+h(x,u)$

Eigenvalue problems for anisotropic quasilinear elliptic equations with variable exponent

In this paper we are concerned with a new class of anisotropic quasilinear elliptic equations with a power-like variable reaction term. One of the main features of our work is that the differential operator involves partial derivatives with different variable exponents, so that the functional-analytic framework relies upon anisotropic Sobolev and Lebesgue spaces. Existence and nonexistence results are deeply influenced by the competition between the growth rates of the anisotropic coefficients. Our main results point out some striking phenomena related to the existence of a continuous spectrum in several distinct situations.     

On the Morse critical groups for indefinite sublinear elliptic problems

We consider the Dirichlet problem for the equation −Δu=αu+m(x)u|u|^q−2+g(x,u), where q∈(1,2) and m changes sign. We prove that the Morse critical groups at zero of the energy functional of the problem are trivial. As a consequence, existence and bifurcation of nontrivial solutions of the problem are established.

Existence and multiplicity of weak solutions for elliptic Dirichlet problems with variable exponent

Under appropriate growth conditions on the nonlinearity, the existence of multiple solutions for nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet problems with variable exponent is established. The approach is based on variational methods. Some applications and examples illustrate the obtained results.     

Infinitely many solutions for elliptic problems with variable exponent and nonlinear boundary conditions

We analyze a class of quasilinear elliptic problems involving a p(·)-Laplace-type operator on a bounded domain W ì \mathbb R^N{\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^N}, N ≥ 2, and we deal with nonlinear conditions on the boundary. Working on the variable exponent Lebesgue–Sobolev spaces, we follow the steps described by the “fountain theorem” and we establish the existence of a sequence of weak solutions.

Finite Morse index solutions of exponential problems

We prove that the problem −Δu=eu$-\mathrm{\Delta }u={\mathrm{e}}^u$ has no negative finite Morse index solution on R³${\mathbb{R}}^3$ and give some applications to bounded domain problems.     

Symmetry of solutions to semilinear elliptic equations via Morse index

In this paper we prove symmetry results for solutions of semilinear elliptic equations in a ball or in an annulus in , , in the case where the nonlinearity has a convex first derivative. More precisely we prove that solutions having Morse index are foliated Schwarz symmetric, i.e. they are axially symmetric with respect to an axis passing through the origin and nonincreasing in the polar angle from this axis. From this we deduce, under some additional hypotheses on the nonlinearity, that the nodal set of sign changing solutions with Morse index intersects the boundary of the domain.

Existence of radial solutions with prescribed number of zeros for elliptic equations and their Morse index

In this paper we consider radially symmetric solutions of the nonlinear Dirichlet problem Δu+f(|x|,u)=0 in Ω, where Ω is a ball in RN, N?3 and f satisfies some appropriate assumptions. We prove existence of radially symmetric solutions with k prescribed number of zeros. Moreover, when f(|x|,u)=K(|x|)|u|^p−1u, using the uniqueness result due to Tanaka (2008) [21], we verify that these solutions are non-degenerate and we prove that their radial Morse index is exactly k.     

Perturbation methods in semilinear elliptic problems involving critical hardy-sobolev exponent

In this article, we deal with a class of semilinear elliptic equations which are perturbations of the problems with the critical Hardy-Sobolev exponent. Some existence results are given via an abstract perturbation method in critical point theory.
