This paper is concerned with Liouville-type theorems of positive weak solutions to elliptic $m$-Laplace equation and inequality with the logarithmic nonlinearity $u^q(\log u)^p (q,p\geqslant0)$. Using a direct Bernstein method we obtain a first range of values of $m,q,p$ in which all positive weak solutions of equation are constants, this holds in the following cases: (i) $1 \lt m \lt 2$, $m-1 \lt q \lt 1$, $0 \lt p \lt q$; (ii) $m \gt 1$, $q\geqslant1$, $0 \lt p \lt 1$. When $q=1$, the positive weak solutions are required to be bounded. Based on transformation of inequality and the utilization of suitable cut-off functions, we establish a Liouville-type theorem for positive weak solutions of inequality; this result also remains valid on complete noncompact Riemannian manifold.
In this note, we prove that minimizers of convex functionals with a convexity constraint and a general class of Lagrangians can be approximated by solutions to fourth-order Abreu-type equations. Our result generalizes that of Le (Twisted Harnack inequality and approximation of variational problems with a convexity constraint by singular Abreu equations. Adv. Math.434 (2023)) where the case of quadratically growing Lagrangians was treated.
where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain, $p\geq 2$. Firstly, under suitable assumptions on $\rho$, if $g$ is at most mass-critical at infinity, we prove the existence of infinitely many solutions. Secondly, for $\rho$ large, if $g$ is mass-supercritical, we perform a blow-up analysis to show the nonexistence of finite Morse index solutions. At last, for $\rho$ suitably small, combining with the monotonicity argument, we obtain a multiplicity result. In particular, when $p=2$, we obtain the existence of infinitely many normalized solutions.
where $N \geq 3$, $K(x)=exp(|x|^{\alpha}/4)$, $\alpha\geq 2$ and $f$ is a continuous function, with hypotheses that will be given later. We apply the method to cases where $f$ is singular, where $f$ behaves like a logistic function, showing in both cases the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution.
We study the existence and multiplicity of positive bounded solutions for a class of nonlocal, non-variational elliptic problems governed by a nonhomogeneous operator with unbalanced growth, specifically the double phase operator. To tackle these challenges, we employ a combination of analytical techniques, including the sub-super solution method, variational and truncation approaches, and set-valued analysis. Furthermore, we examine a one-dimensional fixed-point problem.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first workaddressing nonlocal double phase problems using these methods.
In this article, we are concerned with the static Schrödinger equation with the van der Waals potential. Such an equation can be transformed into a system of integral equations. We present the nonexistence of two classes of positive solutions. One is a class of locally bounded positive super-solutions, and the other is a class of positive solutions with some integrability. To prove the nonexistence of positive integrable solutions, we investigate their qualitative properties, involving the radial symmetry, the better integrability, the differentiability, and the decay estimates at infinity. Here, the regularity lifting lemma, the method of moving planes in integral forms, and the Pohozaev identity in integral forms play important roles.
In this paper, we consider a Hénon-type equation for the Grushin operator. After proving a radial lemma, we establish the existence of a solution for a superlinear and supercritical problem. Additionally, we derive a symmetry-breaking result for ground-state solutions in the subcritical case.
where $2_{s}^{*}=\frac{2N}{N-2s}$, $s\in(\frac{1}{2},1)$, $N \gt 2s$, Ω is a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, ɛ is a small parameter, and the boundary Σ is given in different ways according to the different definitions of the fractional Laplacian operator $(-\Delta)^{s}$. The operator $(-\Delta)^{s}$ is defined in two types: the spectral fractional Laplacian and the restricted fractional Laplacian. For the spectral case, Σ stands for $\partial \Omega$; for the restricted case, Σ is $\mathbb{R}^{N}\setminus \Omega$. Firstly, we provide a positive confirmation of the fractional Brezis–Peletier conjecture, that is, the above almost critical problem has a single bubbling solution concentrating around the non-degenerate critical point of the Robin function. Furthermore, the non-degeneracy andlocal uniqueness of this bubbling solution are established.
where $a\geq 0$, b > 0, the function V(x) is a trapping potential in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^3$, $\beta^*:=\frac{b}{2}|Q|_2^{\frac{8}{3}}$ and Q is the unique positive radially symmetric solution of equation $-2\Delta u+\frac{1}{3}u-|u|^{\frac{8}{3}}u=0$ in $\mathbb R^3.$ We consider the existence of constraint minimizers for the associated energy functional involving the parameter a. The minimizer corresponds to the normalized ground state of above problem, and it exists if and only if a > 0. Moreover, when V(x) attains its flattest global minimum at an inner point or only at the boundary of Ω, we analyze the fine limit profiles of the minimizers as $a\searrow 0$, including mass concentration at an inner point or near the boundary of Ω. In particular, we further establish the local uniqueness of the minimizer if it is concentrated at a unique inner point.
Where $N\geq 3$, $\omega,\lambda \gt 0$, $p\in \left(\frac{N+\alpha}{N}, \frac{N+\alpha}{N-2}\right)\setminus\left\{\frac{N+\alpha+2}{N}\right\}$ and µ will appear as a Lagrange multiplier. We assume that $0\leq V\in L^{\infty}_{loc}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ has a bottom $int V^{-1}(0)$ composed of $\ell_0$$(\ell_{0}\geq1)$ connected components $\{\Omega_i\}_{i=1}^{\ell_0}$, where $int V^{-1}(0)$ is the interior of the zero set $V^{-1}(0)=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^N| V(x)=0\}$ of V. It is worth pointing out that the penalization technique is no longer applicable to the local sublinear case $p\in \left(\frac{N+\alpha}{N},2\right)$. Therefore, we develop a new variational method in which the two deformation flows are established that reflect the properties of the potential. Moreover, we find a critical point without introducing a penalization term and give the existence result for $p\in \left(\frac{N+\alpha}{N}, \frac{N+\alpha}{N-2}\right)\setminus\left\{\frac{N+\alpha+2}{N}\right\}$. When ω is fixed and satisfies $\omega^{\frac{-(p-1)}{-Np+N+\alpha+2}}$ sufficiently small, we construct a $\ell$-bump $(1\leq\ell\leq \ell_{0})$ positive normalization solution, which concentrates at $\ell$ prescribed components $\{\Omega_i\}^{\ell}_{i=1}$ for large λ. We also consider the asymptotic profile of the solutions as $\lambda\rightarrow\infty$ and $\omega^{\frac{-(p-1)}{-Np+N+\alpha+2}}\rightarrow 0$.
where $\alpha,\beta$ are real parameters, $n \gt 2,\, q \gt k\geqslant 1$ and $S_k(D^2v)$ stands for the k-Hessian operator of v. Our results are based mainly on the analysis of an associated dynamical system and energy methods. We derive some properties of the solutions of the above equation for different ranges of the parameters α and β. In particular, we describe with precision its asymptotic behaviour at infinity. Further, according to the position of q with respect to the first critical exponent $\frac{(n+2)k}{n}$ and the Tso critical exponent $\frac{(n+2)k}{n-2k}$ we study the existence of three classes of solutions: crossing, slow decay or fast decay solutions. In particular, if k > 1 all the fast decay solutions have a compact support in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The results also apply to construct self-similar solutions of type I to a related nonlinear evolution equation. These are self-similar functions of the form $u(t,x)=t^{-\alpha}v(xt^{-\beta})$ with suitable α and β.
Let n be a positive integer and f belong to the smallest ring of functions $\mathbb R^n\to \mathbb R$ that contains all real polynomial functions of n variables and is closed under exponentiation. Then there exists $d\in \mathbb N$ such that for all $m\in \{0,\dots , n\}$ and $c\in \mathbb R^{m}$, if $x\mapsto f(c,x)\colon \mathbb R^{n-m}\to \mathbb R$ is harmonic, then it is polynomial of degree at most d. In particular, f is polynomial if it is harmonic.
This paper continues the analysis of Schrödinger type equations with distributional coefficients initiated by the authors in a recent paper in Journal of Differential Equations (425) 2025. Here, we consider coefficients that are tempered distributions with respect to the space variable and are continuous in time. We prove that the corresponding Cauchy problem, which in general cannot even be stated in the standard distributional setting, admits a Schwartz very weak solution which is unique modulo negligible perturbations. Consistency with the classical theory is proved in the case of regular coefficients and Schwartz Cauchy data.
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 1$, be an open bounded connected set. We consider the indefinite weighted eigenvalue problem $-\Delta u =\lambda m u$ in Ω with $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$, $m\in L^\infty(\Omega)$ and with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. We study weak* continuity, convexity and Gâteaux differentiability of the map $m\mapsto1/\lambda_1(m)$, where $\lambda_1(m)$ is the principal eigenvalue. Then, denoting by $\mathcal{G}(m_0)$ the class of rearrangements of a fixed weight m0, under the assumptions that m0 is positive on a set of positive Lebesgue measure and $\int_\Omega m_0\,dx \lt 0$, we prove the existence and a characterization of minimizers of $\lambda_1(m)$ and the non-existence of maximizers. Finally, we show that, if Ω is a cylinder, then every minimizer is monotone with respect to the direction of the generatrix. In the context of the population dynamics, this kind of problems arise from the question of determining the optimal spatial location of favourable and unfavourable habitats for a population to survive.
In this article, we consider a fully nonlinear equation associated with the Christoffel–Minkowski problem in hyperbolic space. By using the full rank theorem, we establish the existence of h-convex solutions when the prescribed functions on the right-hand side are under some appropriate assumption.
In this paper we prove a general uniqueness result in the inverse boundary value problem for the weighted p-Laplace equation in the plane, with smooth weights. We also prove a uniqueness result in dimension 3 and higher, for real analytic weights that are subject to a smallness condition on one of their directional derivatives. Both results are obtained by linearizing the equation at a solution without critical points. This unknown solution is then recovered, together with the unknown weight.
This article studies the optimal boundary regularity of harmonic maps between a class of asymptotically hyperbolic spaces. To be precise, given any smooth boundary map with nowhere vanishing energy density, this article provides an asymptotic expansion formula for harmonic maps under the assumption of $C^1$ up to the boundary.
where $\beta\geq0$, c > 0, $\lambda\in \mathbb{R}$, $I_\mu=\frac{1}{|x|^\mu}$ with $\mu\in (0,4)$, F(u) is the primitive function of f(u), and f is a continuous function with exponential critical growth in the sense of the Adams inequality. By using a minimax principle based on the homotopy stable family, we obtain that the above problem admits at least one normalized ground state solution.
where $2^*=\frac{2N}{N-2}$, $\lambda_i\in (0,\Lambda_N), \Lambda_N:= \frac{(N-2)^2}{4}$, and $\beta_{ij}=\beta_{ji}$ for i ≠ j. By virtue of variational methods, we establish the existence and nonexistence of least energy solutions for the purely cooperative case ($\beta_{ij} \gt 0$ for any i ≠ j) and the simultaneous cooperation and competition case ($\beta_{i_{1}j_{1}} \gt 0$ and $\beta_{i_{2}j_{2}} \lt 0$ for some $(i_{1}, j_{1})$ and $(i_{2}, j_{2})$). Moreover, it is shown that fully nontrivial ground state solutions exist when $\beta_{ij}\ge0$ and $N\ge5$, but NOT in the weakly pure cooperative case ($\beta_{ij} \gt 0$ and small, i ≠ j) when $N=3,4$. We emphasize that this reveals that the existence of ground state solutions differs dramatically between $N=3, 4$ and higher dimensions $N\geq 5$. In particular, the cases of N = 3 and $N\geq 5$ are more complicated than the case of N = 4 and the proofs heavily depend on the dimension. Some novel tricks are introduced for N = 3 and $N\ge5$.
