On a p-Laplace equation with multiple critical nonlinearities

Using the Mountain-Pass Theorem of Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz we prove that $?{\mathrm{\Delta }}_{p}u?\mu {|x|}^{?p}{u}^{p?1}={|x|}^{?s}{u}^{p^{?}(s)?1}+u^{p^{?}?1}$ admits a positive weak solution in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ of class $D_1^p({\mathbb{R}}^n)\cap C^1({\mathbb{R}}^n?\{0\})$, whenever $\mu <{\mu }_1$, and ${\mu }_1={[(n?p)/p]}^p$. The technique is based on the existence of extremals of some Hardy–Sobolev type embeddings of independent interest. We also show that if $u\in D_1^p({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ is a weak solution in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ of $?{\mathrm{\Delta }}_{p}u?\mu {|x|}^{?p}{|u|}^{p?2}u={|x|}^{?s}{|u|}^{p^{?}(s)?2}u+{|u|}^{q?2}u$, then $u\equiv 0$ when either $1<q<p^{?}$, or $q>p^{?}$ and u is also of class $L_{\mathrm{loc}}^{\infty }({\mathbb{R}}^n?\{0\})$.     

On the positive radial solutions of a class of singular semilinear elliptic equations

In this paper, we consider the following elliptic equation(0.1)$\mathit{div}\left(A\right(|x|\left)\mathrm{?}u\right)+B(|x|)u^p=0\text{in}{\mathbb{R}}^n,$ where $p>1$, $n?3$, $A(|x|)>0$ is differentiable in ${\mathbb{R}}^n?\{0\}$ and $B(|x|)$ is a given nonnegative Hölder continuous function in ${\mathbb{R}}^n?\{0\}$. The asymptotic behavior at infinity and structure of separation property of positive radial solutions with different initial data for (0.1) are discussed. Moreover, the existence and separation property of infinitely many positive solutions for Hardy equation and an equation related to Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequality are obtained respectively, as special cases.     

Multiple positive solutions for semilinear elliptic systems

This article investigates the effect of the coefficient $f(z)$ of the critical nonlinearity. For sufficiently small $\lambda ,\mu >0$, there are at least k positive solutions of the semilinear elliptic systems$\{\begin{array}{c}?\mathrm{\Delta }u=\lambda g(z){|u|}^{p?2}u+\frac{\alpha }{\alpha +\beta }f(z){|u|}^{\alpha ?2}u{|v|}^{\beta }\text{in}\Omega ;\hfill \\ ?\mathrm{\Delta }v=\mu h(z){|v|}^{p?2}v+\frac{\beta }{\alpha +\beta }f(z){|u|}^{\alpha }{|v|}^{\beta ?2}v\text{in}\Omega ;\hfill \\ u=v=0\text{on}?\Omega ,\hfill \end{array}$ where $0\in \Omega ?{\mathbb{R}}^N$ is a bounded domain, $\alpha >1$, $\beta >1$ and $2<p<\alpha +\beta =2^{?}$ for $N>4$.     

On the sub poly-harmonic property for solutions to (−Δ)pu < 0 in Rn

In this note, we mainly study the relation between the sign of ${(?\mathrm{\Delta })}^{p}u$ and ${(?\mathrm{\Delta })}^{p?i}u$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ with $p?2$ and $n?2$ for $1?i?p?1$. Given the differential inequality ${(?\mathrm{\Delta })}^{p}u<0$, first we provide several sufficient conditions so that ${(?\mathrm{\Delta })}^{p?1}u<0$ holds. Then we provide conditions such that ${(?\mathrm{\Delta })}^{i}u<0$ for all $i=1,2,\dots ,p?1$, which is known as the sub poly-harmonic property for u. In the last part of the note, we revisit the super poly-harmonic property for solutions to ${(?\mathrm{\Delta })}^{p}u={\mathrm{e}}^{2pu}$ and ${(?\mathrm{\Delta })}^{p}u=u^q$ with $q>0$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$.     

Blow-up solutions of inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equations on torus

In this paper, we study blow-up solutions to the Cauchy problem of the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation${\mathrm{\partial }}_{t}u=i(f(x)\mathrm{\Delta }u+\nabla f(x)·\nabla u+k(x)|u{|}^{2}u)$on ${\mathbb{T}}^2$. We present the $L^2$-concentration property for general initial data and investigate the $L^2$-minimality.     

Uniqueness of degree-one Ginzburg–Landau vortex in the unit ball in dimensions N ≥ 7

For $\epsilon >0$, we consider the Ginzburg–Landau functional for ${\mathbb{R}}^N$-valued maps defined in the unit ball $B^N?{\mathbb{R}}^N$ with the vortex boundary data x on $?B^N$. In dimensions $N\ge 7$, we prove that, for every $\epsilon >0$, there exists a unique global minimizer $u_{\epsilon }$ of this problem; moreover, $u_{\epsilon }$ is symmetric and of the form $u_{\epsilon }(x)=f_{\epsilon }(|x|)\frac{x}{|x|}$ for $x\in B^N$.     

Pointwise asymptotic behavior of modulated periodic reaction–diffusion waves

By working with the periodic resolvent kernel and the Bloch-decomposition, we establish pointwise bounds for the Green function of the linearized equation associated with spatially periodic traveling waves of a system of reaction–diffusion equations. With our linearized estimates together with a nonlinear iteration scheme developed by Johnson–Zumbrun, we obtain $L^p$-behavior ($p?1$) of a nonlinear solution to a perturbation equation of a reaction–diffusion equation with respect to initial data in $L^1\cap H^2$ recovering and slightly sharpening results obtained by Schneider using weighted energy and renormalization techniques. We obtain also pointwise nonlinear estimates with respect to two different initial perturbations $|u_0|?E_0{e}^{?{|x|}^2/M}$, ${|u_0|}_{H^2}?E_0$ and $|u_0|?E_0{(1+|x|)}^{?r}$, $r>2$, ${|u_0|}_{H^2}?E_0$ respectively, $E_0>0$ sufficiently small and $M>1$ sufficiently large, showing that behavior is that of a heat kernel. These pointwise bounds have not been obtained elsewhere, and do not appear to be accessible by previous techniques.     

Boundary regularity criteria for the 6D steady Navier–Stokes and MHD equations

It is shown in this paper that suitable weak solutions to the 6D steady incompressible Navier–Stokes and MHD equations are Hölder continuous near boundary provided that either $r^{?3}{\int }_{B_r^{+}}|u(x){|}^{3}dx$ or $r^{?2}{\int }_{B_r^{+}}|\mathrm{?}u(x){|}^{2}dx$ is sufficiently small, which implies that the 2D Hausdorff measure of the set of singular points near the boundary is zero. This generalizes recent interior regularity results by Dong–Strain [5].
