On the nonlinear Neumann problem involving the critical Sobolev exponent on the boundary

In this paper we investigate the solvability of the Neumann problem (1.1) involving the critical Sobolev exponents on the right-hand side of the equation and in the boundary condition. It is assumed that the coefficients Q and P are smooth. We examine the common effect of the mean curvature of the boundary ∂Ω and the shape of the graph of the coefficients Q and P on the existence of solutions of problem (1.1).     

Sign changing solutions to a nonlinear elliptic problem involving the critical Sobolev exponent in pierced domains

We consider the problem in Ω_ε, u=0 on ∂Ω_ε, where Ω_ε:=ΩB(0,ε) and Ω is a bounded smooth domain in , which contains the origin and is symmetric with respect to the origin, N3 and ε is a positive parameter. As ε goes to zero, we construct sign changing solutions with multiple blow up at the origin.     

Existence of multi-bump solutions for a system with critical exponent in RN

We consider the following system with critical exponent in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$:$\{\begin{array}{c}?\mathrm{\Delta }u=K_1(y)u^{2^{?}?1}+\frac{p}{2^{?}}V(y)u^{p?1}{v}^q\text{in}{\mathbb{R}}^N,\hfill \\ ?\mathrm{\Delta }v=K_2(y)v^{2^{?}?1}+\frac{q}{2^{?}}V(y)u^p{v}^{q?1}\text{in}{\mathbb{R}}^N,\hfill \\ u,v>0,y\in {\mathbb{R}}^N,\hfill \end{array}$ where $N\ge 5$, $p,q>1$ and $p+q=2^{?}=\frac{2N}{N?2}$. Using finite dimensional reduction method, we prove the existence of multi-bump solutions. Their bumps can be placed on arbitrarily many or even infinitely many lattice points in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$. Since $p<2$ or $q<2$, we introduce two new norms to avoid singularity.     

Multiple solutions to the pure critical exponent problem in domains with a hole of arbitrary size

We consider the problem \(-\Delta u = \left\vert u\right\vert ^{2^\ast-2} u\,{\rm in}\,\Omega, \quad u = 0\,{\rm on}\,\partial\Omega,\) where Ω is a bounded smooth domain in \(\mathbb{R}^{N}\), N ≥ q3, and \(2^{\ast}=\frac{2N}{N-2}\) is the critical Sobolev exponent. We assume that Ω is annular shaped, i.e. there are constants R ₂ >  R ₁ >  0 such that \(\{x \in \mathbb{R}^{N} : R_{1} < |x| < R_{2}\} \subset \Omega\) and \(0 \not\in \Omega.\) We also assume that Ω is invariant under a group Γ of orthogonal transformations of \(\mathbb{R}^{N}\) without fixed points. We establish the existence of multiple sign changing solutions if, either Γ is arbitrary and R ₁/R ₂ is small enough, or R ₁/R ₂ is arbitrary and the minimal Γ-orbit of Ω is large enough. We believe this is the first existence result for sign changing solutions in domains with holes of arbitrary size. The proof takes advantage of the invariance of this problem under the group of Möbius transformations.

Classification of low energy sign-changing solutions of an almost critical problem

In this paper we make the analysis of the blow up of low energy sign-changing solutions of a semilinear elliptic problem involving nearly critical exponent. Our results allow to classify these solutions according to the concentration speeds of the positive and negative part and, in high dimensions, lead to complete classification of them. Additional qualitative results, such as symmetry or location of the concentration points are obtained when the domain is a ball.

Three positive solutions for Dirichlet problems involving critical Sobolev exponent and sign-changing weight

Furthermore, we use this result and the Lusternik-Schnirelman category to prove that a semilinear elliptic equation involving a sign-changing weight function has at least three positive solutions.
