On the weighted elliptic problems involving multi-singular potentials and multi-critical exponents

Suppose Ω belong to R^N（N≥3） is a smooth bounded domain,ξi∈Ω,0〈ai〈√μ,μ：=（（N-1）/2）^2,0≤μi〈（√μ-ai）^2,ai〈bi〈ai＋1 and pi：=2N/N-2（1＋ai-bi）are the weighted critical Hardy-Sobolev exponents, i = 1, 2,..., k, k ≥ 2. We deal with the conditions that ensure the existence of positive solutions to the multi-singular and multi-critical elliptic problem ∑i=1^k（-div（｜x-ξi｜^-2ai△↓u）-μiu/｜x-ξi｜^2（1＋ai）-u^pi-1/｜x-ξi｜^bipi）=0with Dirichlet boundary condition, which involves the weighted Hardy inequality and the weighted Hardy-Sobolev inequality. The results depend crucially on the parameters ai, bi and #i, i -- 1, 2,..., k.

Using the Moser iteration, we prove the asymptotic behavior of solutions at the origin. In addition, by exploiting the Mountain-Pass theorem, we establish the existence of solutions.

Self-similar solutions for a convection-diffusion equation with absorption inR N

We prove the existence of a positive and smooth solution for the following semilinear elliptic problem: % MathType!End!2!1! for anya∈R ^N , 1<p<1+2/N andq=(p+1)/2. This solution decays exponentially as |x|→+∞. Moreover, if |a| is sufficiently small, this positive and rapidly decaying solution is unique. The existence of a positive, self-similar solution % MathType!End!2!1! follows for the following convection-diffusion equation with absorption: % MathType!End!2!1!. It is also a very singular solution. This solution decays as |x|→+∞ for anyt>0 fixed. Because of the nonvariational nature of the elliptic problem, a fixed point method is used for proving the existence result. The uniqueness is proved applying the Implicit Function Theorem.

Existence of Nonnegative Solutions for a Class of Systems Involving Fractional (p,q)-Laplacian Operators

The authors study the following Dirichlet problem of a system involving fractional (p, q)-Laplacian operators:

$$\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\left( { - \Delta } \right)_p^su = \lambda a\left( x \right){{\left| u \right|}^{p - 2}}u + \lambda b\left( x \right){{\left| u \right|}^{\alpha - 2}}{{\left| v \right|}^\beta }u + \frac{{\mu \left( x \right)}}{{\alpha \delta }}{{\left| u \right|}^{\gamma - 2}}{{\left| v \right|}^\delta }uin\Omega ,} \\ {\left( { - \Delta } \right)_q^sv = \lambda c\left( x \right){{\left| v \right|}^{q - 2}}v + \lambda b\left( x \right){{\left| u \right|}^\alpha }{{\left| v \right|}^{\beta - 2}}v + \frac{{\mu \left( x \right)}}{{\beta \gamma }}{{\left| u \right|}^\gamma }{{\left| v \right|}^{\delta - 2}}vin\Omega ,} \\ {u = v = 0on{\mathbb{R}^N}\backslash \Omega ,} \end{array}} \right.$$

where λ > 0 is a real parameter, Ω is a bounded domain in R ^N , with boundary ?Ω Lipschitz continuous, s ∈ (0, 1), 1 < p ≤ q < ∞, sq < N, while (?Δ) _p ^s u is the fractional p-Laplacian operator of u and, similarly, (?Δ) _q ^s v is the fractional q-Laplacian operator of v. Since possibly p ≠ q, the classical definitions of the Nehari manifold for systems and of the Fibering mapping are not suitable. In this paper, the authors modify these definitions to solve the Dirichlet problem above. Then, by virtue of the properties of the first eigenvalue λ₁ for a related system, they prove that there exists a positive solution for the problem when λ < λ₁ by the modified definitions. Moreover, the authors obtain the bifurcation property when λ → λ₁^-. Finally, thanks to the Picone identity, a nonexistence result is also obtained when λ ≥ λ₁.

Sharp Affine and Improved Moser–Trudinger–Adams Type Inequalities on Unbounded Domains in the Spirit of Lions

The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, we prove sharp singular affine Moser–Trudinger inequalities on both bounded and unbounded domains in \({\mathbb {R}}^{n}\). In particular, we will prove the following much sharper affine Moser–Trudinger inequality in the spirit of Lions (Rev Mat Iberoamericana 1(2):45–121, 1985) (see our Theorem 1.4): Let \(\alpha _{n}=n\left( \frac{n\pi ^{\frac{n}{2}}}{\Gamma (\frac{n}{2}+1)}\right) ^{\frac{1}{n-1}}\), \(0\le \beta <n\) and \(\tau >0\). Then there exists a constant \(C=C\left( n,\beta \right) >0\) such that for all \(0\le \alpha \le \left( 1-\frac{\beta }{n}\right) \alpha _{n}\) and \(u\in C_{0}^{\infty }\left( {\mathbb {R}}^{n}\right) \setminus \left\{ 0\right\} \) with the affine energy \(~{\mathcal {E}}_{n}\left( u\right) <1\), we have

$$\begin{aligned} {\displaystyle \int \nolimits _{{\mathbb {R}}^{n}}} \frac{\phi _{n,1}\left( \frac{2^{\frac{1}{n-1}}\alpha }{\left( 1+{\mathcal {E}}_{n}\left( u\right) ^{n}\right) ^{\frac{1}{n-1}}}\left| u\right| ^{\frac{n}{n-1}}\right) }{\left| x\right| ^{\beta }}dx\le C\left( n,\beta \right) \frac{\left\| u\right\| _{n}^{n-\beta }}{\left| 1-{\mathcal {E}}_{n}\left( u\right) ^{n}\right| ^{1-\frac{\beta }{n}}}. \end{aligned}$$

Moreover, the constant \(\left( 1-\frac{\beta }{n}\right) \alpha _{n}\) is the best possible in the sense that there is no uniform constant \(C(n, \beta )\) independent of u in the above inequality when \(\alpha >\left( 1-\frac{\beta }{n}\right) \alpha _{n}\). Second, we establish the following improved Adams type inequality in the spirit of Lions (Theorem 1.8): Let \(0\le \beta <2m\) and \(\tau >0\). Then there exists a constant \(C=C\left( m,\beta ,\tau \right) >0\) such that

$$\begin{aligned} \underset{u\in W^{2,m}\left( {\mathbb {R}}^{2m}\right) , \int _{ {\mathbb {R}}^{2m}}\left| \Delta u\right| ^{m}+\tau \left| u\right| ^{m} \le 1}{\sup } {\displaystyle \int \nolimits _{{\mathbb {R}}^{2m}}} \frac{\phi _{2m,2}\left( \frac{2^{\frac{1}{m-1}}\alpha }{\left( 1+\left\| \Delta u\right\| _{m}^{m}\right) ^{\frac{1}{m-1}}}\left| u\right| ^{\frac{m}{m-1}}\right) }{\left| x\right| ^{\beta }}dx\le C\left( m,\beta ,\tau \right) , \end{aligned}$$

for all \(0\le \alpha \le \left( 1-\frac{\beta }{2m}\right) \beta (2m,2)\). When \(\alpha >\left( 1-\frac{\beta }{2m}\right) \beta (2m,2)\), the supremum is infinite. In the above, we use

$$\begin{aligned} \phi _{p,q}(t)=e^{t}- {\displaystyle \sum \limits _{j=0}^{j_{\frac{p}{q}}-2}} \frac{t^{j}}{j!},\,\,\,j_{\frac{p}{q}}=\min \left\{ j\in {\mathbb {N}} :j\ge \frac{p}{q}\right\} \ge \frac{p}{q}. \end{aligned}$$

The main difficulties of proving the above results are that the symmetrization method does not work. Therefore, our main ideas are to develop a rearrangement-free argument in the spirit of Lam and Lu (J Differ Equ 255(3):298–325, 2013; Adv Math 231(6): 3259–3287, 2012), Lam et al. (Nonlinear Anal 95: 77–92, 2014) to establish such theorems. Third, as an application, we will study the existence of weak solutions to the biharmonic equation

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} \Delta ^{2}u+V(x)u=f(x,u)\text { in }{\mathbb {R}}^{4}\\ u\in H^{2}\left( {\mathbb {R}}^{4}\right) ,~u\ge 0 \end{array} \right. , \end{aligned}$$

where the nonlinearity f has the critical exponential growth.

     

A Covering Lemma on the Unit Sphere and Application to the Fourier-Laplace Convergence

A covering lemma on the unit sphere is established and then is applied to establish an almost everywhere convergence test of Marcinkiewicz type for the Fourier-Laplace series on the unit sphere which can be stated as follows： Theorem Suppose f ∈ L（En-1）, n≥ 3.
