Abstract

In this paper, on a bounded domain $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n$, we consider a nonlocal problem of the type $$\cases{-\Delta u=Q(u,\lambda)f(u)&in $\Omega$ \cr&\cr u=0&on $\partial\Omega$\cr}$$ where $Q:H^1_0(\Omega)\times {\bf R}\to {\bf R}$, proving, under suitable assumptions, the existence of at least three weak solutions for each $\lambda$ running in a suitable interval.

On the structure of isolated singularities for semilinear elliptic equations

In this paper, we study isolated singularities of the following semilinear elliptic equation $-\Delta u+\frac12 x\cdot \nabla u+\frac{1}{q-1}u-u^q=0$ in $\Omega \setminus \{0\}$, where $n\ge 3$, $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a domain, $0 \in \Omega$ and $q>1$. This equation arises in the study of blow-up profiles of semilinear heat equations. For $\frac{n}{n-2}<q<\frac{n+2}{n-2}$, we establish a complete classification of isolated singularities for nonnegative solutions and characterize the precise asymptotic behavior of singular solutions. Our results improve those of Guedda and Kirane (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 1995: 3595-3603), where analogous results were obtained only for radially symmetric positive solutions. In addition, we also derive the asymptotic behavior of solutions in the Serrin critical case $q=\frac{n}{n-2}$ and the supercritical case $q>\frac{n+2}{n-2}$.

Lower order term for the fractional Laplacian with a Hardy potential

This paper is concerned with the following semilinear elliptic equation involving the fractional Laplacian: $$(-\Delta)^s u+ g|u|^{p-1}u= \lambda \frac{u}{|x|^{2s}}+f(x),$$ in a bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^N\,(N>2s)$, subject to the zero Dirichlet condition in $\mathbb{R}^N\setminus \Omega$, where $01$ and $f\in L^{(p+1)/p}_g(\Omega)$. Under certain integrability condition on $g$, the existence of solution is proven for every $\lambda\in \mathbb{R}$. Moreover, the regularity of solution is also obtained.

Truncations for fractional Laplacians

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ be a bounded Lipschitz domain. We prove and widely generalize a conjecture of A.\,I.~Nazarov \cite{Naz21}: for $s\in(1,\frac 32)$ the quadratic form $Q^{\rm SP}_s[u]$ of the spectral fractional Dirichlet Laplacian strictly increases under the map $u\mapsto|u|$ provided $u\in\tilde H^s(\Omega)$ changes sign in $\Omega$.

REMOVABLE SETS FOR NONLINEAR WAVE EQUATIONS IN TERMS OF HAUSDORFF MEASURES

We prove Radó theorem for nonlinear wave equations. Considering $u$ as a locally Lipschitz continuous function on an open set $\mathcal{X}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ to be a weak solution of the equations $ \partial_{tt}u-div(|u’|^{p-2}u’)=0$, on $\mathcal{X}\backslash u^{-1}(0)$, where $p \ge 2$, and employing the Hausdorff measure, we show that $u$ is a weak solution of these nonlinear wave equations in the entire $\mathcal{X}.$

On biharmonic equations with $p$-Laplacian and indefinite potentials or critical nonlinearity

In this paper we consider nonlinear biharmonic equations with $p$-Laplacian ($p\ge2$) of the form $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{l} \Delta^2 u - \Delta_p u + V (x) u = f (x, u) \text{,} u \in H^2 (\mathbb{R}^N) \text{,} \end{array} \right. $$ where the potential $V(x)$ may be indefinite. Using local linking and Morse theory, nontrivial solutions are obtained. In case the nonlinearity $f(x,\cdot)$ is odd, we obtain a sequence of large energy solutions. In the second part of the paper, for bounded positive potential, we get multiple solutions for the case that $$f(x,u)=\lambda g (x) | u |^{q - 2} u + | u |^{m - 2} u$$ with exponent $m$ critical or subcritical.

Uniqueness and nondegeneracy of positive solutions to elliptic equations with Robin boundary conditions

In this paper, we study the uniqueness of positive solutions to the semilinear elliptic Robin problem $$ \begin{cases} -\Delta u = u^p,&\text{in } \Omega,\\ u>0,&\text{in } \Omega,\\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} + \beta u = 0,&\text{on } \partial \Omega, \end{cases} $$ where $\beta>0$, $p$ is subcritical, and $\Omega$ is a bounded smooth domain. It is known that the uniqueness of the solution depends on the shape of the domain. Even if $\Omega$ is a ball, the problem is open for arbitrary $\beta>0$, since the method of moving planes does not work for Robin boundary conditions . By scaling arguments and a careful analysis of the linearized problem, we prove uniqueness for any $\beta>0$ provided that $p$ and $\Omega$ satisfy suitable conditions. Finally, we study the effects of concave and convex nonlinearities.
