A singular nonlinear elliptic equation with natural growth in the gradient

This paper is devoted to the existence and regularity of the homogenous Dirichlet boundary value problem for a singular nonlinear elliptic equation with natural growth in the gradient. By certain transformations, the problem can be transformed formally into either a Dirichlet problem or boundary blowup problems without gradient term, for which the corresponding existence results are also derived, which is a partial extension and supplement to the previous works.

On solvability of a class of nonlinear elliptic type equation with variable exponent

In this paper, we study the Dirichlet problem for the implicit degenerate nonlinear elliptic equation with variable exponent in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$. We obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution without regularization and any restriction between the exponents. Furthermore, we define the domain of the operator generated by posed problem and investigate its some properties and also its relations with known spaces that enable us to prove existence theorem.     

Regularity for the porous medium equation with variable exponent: The singular case

We extend to the singular case the results of [E. Henriques, J.M. Urbano, Intrinsic scaling for PDEs with an exponential nonlinearity, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 55 (5) (2006) 1701-1721] concerning the regularity of weak solutions of the porous medium equation with variable exponent. The method of intrinsic scaling is used to show that local weak solutions are locally continuous.     

Subcritical perturbations of a singular quasilinear elliptic equation involving the critical Hardy–Sobolev exponent

In this work we improve some known results for a singular operator and also for a wide class of lower-order terms by proving a multiplicity result. The proof is made by applying the generalized mountain-pass theorem due to Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz. To do this, we show that the minimax levels are in a convenient range by combining a special class of approximating functions, due to Gazzola and Ruf, with the concentrating functions of the best Sobolev constant.     

A new perturbation to a critical elliptic problem with a variable exponent

In this paper, we study the following critical elliptic problem with a variable exponent:■,where ■, and ? is a smooth bounded domain in R^N(N≥4). We show that for small enough, there exists a family of bubble solutions concentrating at the negative stable critical point of the function a(x). This is a new perturbation to the critical elliptic equation in contrast to the usual subcritical or supercritical perturbation, and gives the first existence result for the critical elliptic probl...     

Two solutions for a singular elliptic equation with critical growth at infinity

We look for positive solutions for the singular equation $-\Delta u-\frac{1}{2}\left(x\cdot \nabla u\right)=\mu h\left(x\right)u^{q-1}+\lambda u+u^{(N+2)/(N-2)},\text{in }{\mathbb{R}}^N,$ where $N\ge 3$, $\lambda >0$, $\mu >0$ is a parameter, $0<q<1$ and $h$ has some summability properties. By using a perturbation method and critical point theory, we obtain two solutions when $max\{1,N/4\}<\lambda <N/2$ and the parameter $\mu >0$ is small.

Problems for elliptic singular equations with a gradient term

We investigate the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for a class of second-order nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations with singular data. In particular, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the solution near the boundary up to the second order under various assumptions on the growth of the coefficients of the equation.     

Entropy solutions for a doubly nonlinear elliptic problem with variable exponent

We study the boundary value problem in Ω, u=0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a smooth bounded domain in RN (N?3) and is a p(x)-Laplace type operator with p(.):Ω→[1,+∞) a measurable function and b a continuous and nondecreasing function from R→R. We prove the existence and uniqueness of an entropy solution for L¹-data f.     

On a semilinear elliptic equation with singular term and Hardy–Sobolev critical growth

In a previous work [6], we got an exact local behavior to the positive solutions of an elliptic equation. With the help of this exact local behavior, we obtain in this paper the existence of solutions of an equation with Hardy–Sobolev critical growth and singular term by using variational methods. The result obtained here, even in a particular case, relates with a partial (positive) answer to an open problem proposed in: A. Ferrero and F. Gazzola, Existence of solutions for singular critical growth semilinear elliptic equations, J. Differential Equations 177 , 494–522 (2001). (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Problems for elliptic singular equations with a quadratic gradient term

We investigate the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for a class of second-order elliptic partial differential equations with a quadratic gradient term and singular data. In particular, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the solution near the boundary under suitable assumptions on the growth of the coefficients of the equation.     

Nonnegative solutions of an elliptic equation with a singular potential

We study the behavior of nonnegative solutions of the Dirichlet problem for a linear elliptic equation with a singular potential in the ball B = B(0,R) ⊂ R ⁿ (n ≥ 3), R ≤ 1. We find an exact condition on the potential ensuring the existence or absence of a nonnegative solution of that problem.     

Positive solutions of a semilinear elliptic equation with singular nonlinearity

This paper is devoted to the study of positive solutions of the semilinear elliptic equation Δu+K(|x|)u−p=0, x∈Rn with n?3 and p>0. Asymptotic behaviours of sky states and uniqueness of singular sky states are obtained via invariant manifold theory of dynamical systems. The Dirichlet problem in exterior domains is also studied. It is proved that this problem has infinitely many positive solutions with fast growth.
