Semilinear elliptic equations for the fractional Laplacian involving critical exponential growth

We establish the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions for a class of nonlocal equations involving the fractional Laplacian operator, nonlinearities with critical exponential growth, and potentials that may change sign. The proofs of our existence results rely on minimization methods and the mountain pass theorem. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Singular Hamiltonian elliptic systems with critical exponential growth in dimension two

We will focus on the existence of nontrivial solutions to the following Hamiltonian elliptic system where are numbers belonging to the interval [0, 2), V is a continuous potential bounded below on by a positive constant and the functions f and g possess exponential growth range established by Trudinger–Moser inequalities in Lorentz–Sobolev spaces. The proof involves linking theorem and a finite‐dimensional approximation.

In this article, the following concave and convex nonlinearities elliptic equations involving critical growth is considered,{-△u=g(x)|u|2*-2u+λf(x)|u|q-2u,x∈Ω,u=0,x∈■Ω where Ω■R~N(N≥3) is an open bounded domain with smooth boundary, 1 q 2, λ 0.2*=2 N/(N-2)is the critical Sobolev exponent,f∈L2~*/(2~*-q)(Ω)is nonzero and nonnegative,and g ∈ C(■) is a positive function with k local maximum points.

Semiclassical ground state solutions for a Schrödinger equation in with critical exponential growth

Consider a Schrödinger equation where and are two continuous real functions on , ε is a positive parameter, the nonlinearity f is assumed to be of critical exponential growth in the sense of the Trudinger‐Moser inequality. By truncating the potentials and , we are able to establish some new existence and concentration results for critical Schrödinger equation in by variational methods. As a particular case, we observe that the concentration appears at the maximum set of the nonlinear potential which complements the results in 6 , 23 .

Multiplicity of solutions for quasilinear elliptic systems with critical growth

We study the existence of multiple solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system of gradient type with critical growth and the possibility of coupling on the subcritical term. The solutions are obtained from a version of the Symmetric Mountain Pass Theorem. The Concentration-Compactness Principle allows to verify that the Palais-Smale condition is satisfied below a certain level. The authors were partially supported by CNPq/Brazil     

Positive solutions for a class of singular quasilinear Schrödinger equations with critical Sobolev exponent

We prove the existence of positive solutions of the following singular quasilinear Schrödinger equations at critical growth

$?\mathrm{\Delta }u?\lambda c(x)u?\kappa \alpha (\mathrm{\Delta }(|u{|}^{2\alpha }))|u{|}^{2\alpha ?2}u=|u{|}^{q?2}u+|u{|}^{2^{?}?2}u,u\in D^{1,2}({\mathbb{R}}^N),$

via variational methods, where $\lambda \ge 0$, $c:{\mathbb{R}}^N\to {\mathbb{R}}^{+}$, $\kappa >0$, $0<\alpha <1/2$, $2<q<2^{?}$. It is interesting that we do not need to add a weight function to control $|u{|}^{q?2}u$.

Compact embedding results of Sobolev spaces and existence of positive solutions to quasilinear equations

In this paper, we study mainly the existence of multiple positive solutions for a quasilinear elliptic equation of the following form on ${\mathbf{R}}^N$, when $N\ge 2$,

(0.1)$?{\mathrm{\Delta }}_{N}u+V(x){\left|u\right|}^{N?2}u=\lambda {\left|u\right|}^{r?2}u+f(x,u).$

Here, $V(x)>0:{\mathbf{R}}^N\to \mathbf{R}$ is a suitable potential function, $r\in (1,N)$, $f(x,u)$ is a continuous function of N-superlinear and subcritical exponential growth without having the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition, while $\lambda >0$ is a constant. A suitable Moser–Trudinger inequality and the compact embedding $W_{\mathrm{V}}^{1,N}\left({\mathbf{R}}^N\right)?L^r\left({\mathbf{R}}^N\right)$ are proved to study problem (0.1). Moreover, the compact embedding $H_{\mathrm{V}}^1\left({\mathbf{R}}^N\right)?L_{\mathrm{K}}^t\left({\mathbf{R}}^N\right)$ is also analyzed to investigate the existence of a positive ground state to the following nonlinear Schrödinger equation

(0.2)$?\mathrm{\Delta }u+V(x)u=K(x)g(u)$

with potentials vanishing at infinity in a measure-theoretic sense when $N\ge 3$.

Multiplicity and asymptotic behavior of solutions for quasilinear elliptic equations with small perturbations

This paper considers the following general form of quasilinear elliptic equation with a small perturbation:$\{\begin{array}{c}?{\sum }_{i,j=1}^N{D}_j(a_{ij}(x,u)D_{i}u)+\frac{1}{2}{\sum }_{i,j=1}^N{D}_t{a}_{ij}(x,u)D_{i}u{D}_{j}u\hfill \\ =f(x,u)+\epsilon g(x,u),x\in \mathrm{\Omega },u\in H_0^1(\mathrm{\Omega }),\hfill \end{array}$ where $\mathrm{\Omega }?{\mathbb{R}}^N(N\ge 3)$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary and $|\epsilon |$ small enough. We assume the main term in the equation to have a mountain pass structure but do not suppose any conditions for the perturbation term $\epsilon g(x,u)$. Then we prove the equation possesses a positive solution, a negative solution and a sign-changing solution. Moreover, we are able to obtain the asymptotic behavior of these solutions as $\epsilon \to 0$.
