Quasilinear elliptic equations on $$\mathbb{R}^N $$with infinitely many solutions

We give verifiable conditions ensuring that second order quasilinear elliptic equations on have infinitely many solutions in the Sobolev space for generic right-hand sides. This amounts to translating in concrete terms the more elusive hypotheses of an abstract theorem. Salient points include the proof that a key denseness property is equivalent to the existence of nontrivial solutions to an auxiliary problem, and an estimate of the size of the set of critical points of nonlinear Schrödinger operators. Conditions for the real-analyticity of Nemytskii operators are also discussed.     

Existence of sign-changing solutions for semilinear singular elliptic equations with critical Sobolev exponents

We consider the semilinear elliptic problem in Ω, u=0 on ∂Ω, where 0∈Ω is a smooth bounded domain in RN, N?4, , is the critical Sobolev exponent, f(x,⋅) has subcritical growth at infinity, K(x)>0 is continuous. We prove the existence of sign-changing solutions under different assumptions when Ω is a usual domain and a symmetric domain, respectively.     

Multiple sign-changing solutions for a class of semilinear elliptic equations in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$

In this paper, we study the following semilinear elliptic equations $$-\triangle u+V(x)u=f(x,u), \ \ x\in \mathbb{R}^{N},$$ where $V\in C(\mathbb{R}^{N}, \mathbb{R})$ and $f\in C(\mathbb{R}^{N}\times\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{R})$. Under some suitable conditions, we prove that the equation has three solutions of mountain pass type: one positive, one negative, and sign-changing. Furthermore, if $f$ is odd with respect to its second variable, this problem has infinitely many sign-changing solutions.     

Pointwise estimates for relative fundamental solutions of heat equations in $${\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{C}}$$

Let be a subharmonic, nonharmonic polynomial and a parameter. Define , a closed, densely defined operator on . If and , we solve the heat equations , u(0,z) = f(z) and , . We write the solutions via heat semigroups and show that the solutions can be written as integrals against distributional kernels. We prove that the kernels are C ^∞ off of the diagonal {(s, z, w) : s = 0 and z = w} and find pointwise bounds for the kernels and their derivatives.      

Positive solutions of linear elliptic equations with critical growth in the Neumann boundary condition

We study the existence of positive solutions of a linear elliptic equation with critical Sobolev exponent in a nonlinear Neumann boundary condition. We prove a result which is similar to a classical result of Brezis and Nirenberg who considered a corresponding problem with nonlinearity in the equation. Our proof of the fact that the dimension three is critical uses a new Pohoaev-type identity.AMS Subject Classification: Primary: 35J65; Secondary: 35B33.
