By the fixed point index, spectral theory of the linear operators, and lower and upper solutions method, we prove that there exists a constant λ* > 0 such that for λ∈ (0, λ * ), NBVP has at least two positive solutions; for λ = λ* , NBVP has at least one positive solution; for λ > λ* , NBVP has no solution.     

MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS FOR AN INHOMOGENEOUS SEMILINEAR ELLIPTIC EQUATION IN R~N

In this paper, the authors study the existence and nonexistence of multiple positive solutions for problem(*)μwhere h ∈ H-1(RN), N ≥ 3, |f(x,u)| ≤ C1up-1 + C2u with C1 > 0, C2∈ [0,1) being some constants and 2 < p < ∞. Under some assumptions on f and h, they prove that there exists a positive constant μ* <∞ such that problem (*)μ has at least one positive solution uμ if μ,∈ (0,μ*), there are no solutions for (*)μ if μ, > μ* and uμ is increasing with respect to μ∈ (0,μ*); furthermore, problem (*)μ has at least two positive solution for μ ∈ (0,μ*) and a unique positive solution for μ, =μ* if p ≤2N/N-2.     

Singularity of the Extremal Solution for Supercritical Biharmonic Equations with Power-Type Nonlinearity

Let B  R~n be the unit ball centered at the origin. The authors consider the following biharmonic equation:{?~2u = λ(1 + u)~p in B,u =?u/?ν= 0 on ?B, where p n+4/ n-4and ν is the outward unit normal vector. It is well-known that there exists a λ* 0 such that the biharmonic equation has a solution for λ∈ (0, λ*) and has a unique weak solution u*with parameter λ = λ*, called the extremal solution. It is proved that u* is singular when n ≥ 13 for p large enough and satisfies u*≤ r~(-4/ (p-1)) - 1 on the unit ball, which actually solve a part of the open problem left in [D`avila, J., Flores, I., Guerra, I., Multiplicity of solutions for a fourth order equation with power-type nonlinearity, Math. Ann., 348(1), 2009, 143–193] .     

Multiple Positive Solutions for a Nonlinear Elliptic Equation Involving Hardy–Sobolev–Maz'ya Term

In this paper, we study the existence and nonexistence of multiple positive solutions for the following problem involving Hardy–Sobolev–Maz'ya term:-Δu- λu/|y|2=|u|pt-1u/|y|t+ μf(x), x ∈Ω,where Ω is a bounded domain in RN(N ≥ 2), 0 ∈Ω, x =(y, z) ∈ Rk× RN-kand pt =N +2-2t N-2(0 ≤ t ≤2). For f(x) ∈ C1(Ω)\{0}, we show that there exists a constant μ* 0 such that the problem possessesat least two positive solutions if μ∈(0, μ*) and at least one positive solution if μ = μ*. Furthermore,there are no positive solutions if μ∈(μ*, +∞).

We study the multiplicity of positive solutions and their limiting behavior as ε tends to zero for a class of coupled nonlinear Schrdinger system in RN . We relate the number of positive solutions to the topology of the set of minimum points of the least energy function for ε suffciently small. Also, we verify that these solutions concentrate at a global minimum point of the least energy function.     

TWO POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO THREE-POINT SINGULAR BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS

In this article, we consider the existence of two positive solutions to nonlinear second order three-point singular boundary value problem: -u′′(t) = λf(t, u(t)) for all t ∈ (0, 1) subjecting to u(0) = 0 and αu(η) = u(1), where η∈ (0, 1), α∈ [0, 1), and λ is a positive parameter. The nonlinear term f(t, u) is nonnegative, and may be singular at t = 0, t = 1, and u = 0. By the fixed point index theory and approximation method, we establish that there exists λ* ∈ (0, +∞], such that the above problem has at least two positive solutions for any λ∈ (0, λ*) under certain conditions on the nonlinear term f.

The asymptotic behavior of Chern-Simons Higgs model on a compact Riemann surface with boundary

We study the self-dual Chern-Simons Higgs equation on a compact Riemann surface with the Neumann boundary condition.In the previous paper,we show that the Chern-Simons Higgs equation with parameter λ0 has at least two solutions(uλ1,uλ2) for λ sufficiently large,which satisfy that uλ1→u0 almost everywhere as λ→∞,and that uλ2→∞ almost everywhere as λ→∞,where u 0 is a(negative) Green function on M.In this paper,we study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions as λ→∞,and prove that uλ2-uλ2 converges to a solution of the Kazdan-Warner equation if the geodesic curvature of the boundary M is negative,or the geodesic curvature is nonpositive and the Gauss curvature is negative where the geodesic curvature is zero.     

EXISTENCE OF POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO SEMILINEAR ELLIPTIC SYSTEMS IN IRN WITH ZERO MASS

In this paper, we prove the existence of at least one positive solution pairto the following semilinear elliptic systemby using a linking theorem, where K（x）is a positive function in L^s（R^N） for some s 〉 1and the nonnegative functions f, g ∈ C（R, R） are of quasicritical growth, superlinear atinfinity. We do not assume that f or g satisfies the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition as usual. Our main result can be viewed as a partial extension of a recent result of Alves, Souto and Montenegro in [1] concerning the existence of a positive solution to the following semilinear elliptic problemand a recent result of Li and Wang in [22] concerning the existence of nontrivial solutions to a semilinear elliptic system of Hamiltonian type in R^N.
