where $\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^{3}$ is a bounded domain, either convex or with $\mathcal {C}^{1,1}$ boundary, $\nu$ is the exterior normal, $\lambda <0$ is a real parameter, $2^{\ast }_{\alpha }=3+\alpha$ with $0<\alpha <3$ is the upper critical exponent due to the Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev inequality. By introducing some suitable Coulomb spaces involving curl operator $W^{\alpha,2^{\ast }_{\alpha }}_{0}(\mathrm {curl};\Omega )$, we are able to obtain the ground state solutions of the curl–curl equation via the method of constraining Nehari–Pankov manifold. Correspondingly, some sharp constants of the Sobolev-like inequalities with curl operator are obtained by a nonlocal version of the concentration–compactness principle.
The paper is concerned with positive solutions to problems of the type
\[ -\Delta_{\mathbb{B}^{N}} u - \lambda u = a(x) |u|^{p-1}\;u + f \text{ in }\mathbb{B}^{N}, \quad u \in H^{1}{(\mathbb{B}^{N})}, \]
where $\mathbb {B}^N$ denotes the hyperbolic space, $1< p<2^*-1:=\frac {N+2}{N-2}$, $\;\lambda < \frac {(N-1)^2}{4}$, and $f \in H^{-1}(\mathbb {B}^{N})$ ($f \not \equiv 0$) is a non-negative functional. The potential $a\in L^\infty (\mathbb {B}^N)$ is assumed to be strictly positive, such that $\lim _{d(x, 0) \rightarrow \infty } a(x) \rightarrow 1,$ where $d(x,\, 0)$ denotes the geodesic distance. First, the existence of three positive solutions is proved under the assumption that $a(x) \leq 1$. Then the case $a(x) \geq 1$ is considered, and the existence of two positive solutions is proved. In both cases, it is assumed that $\mu ( \{ x : a(x) \neq 1\}) > 0.$ Subsequently, we establish the existence of two positive solutions for $a(x) \equiv 1$ and prove asymptotic estimates for positive solutions using barrier-type arguments. The proofs for existence combine variational arguments, key energy estimates involving hyperbolic bubbles.
In this paper, we consider the following non-linear system involving the fractional Laplacian0.1
\begin{equation} \left\{\begin{array}{@{}ll} (-\Delta)^{s} u (x)= f(u,\,v), \\ (-\Delta)^{s} v (x)= g(u,\,v), \end{array} \right. \end{equation}
in two different types of domains, one is bounded, and the other is an infinite cylinder, where $0< s<1$. We employ the direct sliding method for fractional Laplacian, different from the conventional extension and moving planes methods, to derive the monotonicity of solutions for (0.1) in $x_n$ variable. Meanwhile, we develop a new iteration method for systems in the proofs. Hopefully, the iteration method can also be applied to solve other problems.
We study minimizers of the Allen–Cahn system. We consider the $\varepsilon$-energy functional with Dirichlet values and we establish the $\Gamma$-limit. The minimizers of the limiting functional are closely related to minimizing partitions of the domain. Finally, utilizing that the triod and the straight line are the only minimal cones in the plane together with regularity results for minimal curves, we determine the precise structure of the minimizers of the limiting functional, and thus the limit of minimizers of the $\varepsilon$-energy functional as $\varepsilon \rightarrow 0$.
In the present paper we deal with a quasi-linear elliptic equation depending on a sublinear nonlinearity involving the gradient. We prove the existence of a nontrivial nodal solution employing the theory of invariant sets of descending flow together with sub-supersolution techniques, gradient regularity arguments, strong comparison principle for the $p$-Laplace operator. The same conclusion is obtained for an eigenvalue problem under a different set of assumptions.
The odd nonlinearity $f(x,u)$ is $p(x)$-sublinear at $u=0$ but the related limit need not be uniform for $x\in \Omega $. Except being subcritical, no additional assumption is imposed on $f(x,u)$ for $|u|$ large. By applying Clark’s theorem and a truncation method, we obtain a sequence of solutions with negative energy and approaching the zero function $u=0$.
For $s_1,\,s_2\in (0,\,1)$ and $p,\,q \in (1,\, \infty )$, we study the following nonlinear Dirichlet eigenvalue problem with parameters $\alpha,\, \beta \in \mathbb {R}$ driven by the sum of two nonlocal operators:
where $\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^d$ is a bounded open set. Depending on the values of $\alpha,\,\beta$, we completely describe the existence and non-existence of positive solutions to (P). We construct a continuous threshold curve in the two-dimensional $(\alpha,\, \beta )$-plane, which separates the regions of the existence and non-existence of positive solutions. In addition, we prove that the first Dirichlet eigenfunctions of the fractional $p$-Laplace and fractional $q$-Laplace operators are linearly independent, which plays an essential role in the formation of the curve. Furthermore, we establish that every nonnegative solution of (P) is globally bounded.
We consider Calderón's problem for the connection Laplacian on a real-analytic vector bundle over a manifold with boundary. We prove a uniqueness result for this problem when all geometric data are real-analytic, recovering the topology and geometry of a vector bundle up to a gauge transformation and an isometry of the base manifold.
In this paper, we study the Dirichlet problem for systems of mean value equations on a regular tree. We deal both with the directed case (the equations verified by the components of the system at a node in the tree only involve values of the unknowns at the successors of the node in the tree) and the undirected case (now the equations also involve the predecessor in the tree). We find necessary and sufficient conditions on the coefficients in order to have existence and uniqueness of solutions for continuous boundary data. In a particular case, we also include an interpretation of such solutions as a limit of value functions of suitable two-players zero-sum games.
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^N$ ($N\geq 3$) be a $C^2$ bounded domain and $\Sigma \subset \partial \Omega$ be a $C^2$ compact submanifold without boundary, of dimension $k$, $0\leq k \leq N-1$. We assume that $\Sigma = \{0\}$ if $k = 0$ and $\Sigma =\partial \Omega$ if $k=N-1$. Let $d_{\Sigma }(x)=\mathrm {dist}\,(x,\Sigma )$ and $L_\mu = \Delta + \mu \,d_{\Sigma }^{-2}$, where $\mu \in {\mathbb {R}}$. We study boundary value problems ($P_\pm$) $-{L_\mu} u \pm |u|^{p-1}u = 0$ in $\Omega$ and $\mathrm {tr}_{\mu,\Sigma}(u)=\nu$ on $\partial \Omega$, where $p>1$, $\nu$ is a given measure on $\partial \Omega$ and $\mathrm {tr}_{\mu,\Sigma}(u)$ denotes the boundary trace of $u$ associated to $L_\mu$. Different critical exponents for the existence of a solution to ($P_\pm$) appear according to concentration of $\nu$. The solvability for problem ($P_+$) was proved in [3, 29] in subcritical ranges for $p$, namely for $p$ smaller than one of the critical exponents. In this paper, assuming the positivity of the first eigenvalue of $-L_\mu$, we provide conditions on $\nu$ expressed in terms of capacities for the existence of a (unique) solution to ($P_+$) in supercritical ranges for $p$, i.e. for $p$ equal or bigger than one of the critical exponents. We also establish various equivalent criteria for the existence of a solution to ($P_-$) under a smallness assumption on $\nu$.
The asymptotic mean value Laplacian—AMV Laplacian—extends the Laplace operator from $\mathbb {R}^n$ to metric measure spaces through limits of averaging integrals. The AMV Laplacian is however not a symmetric operator in general. Therefore, we consider a symmetric version of the AMV Laplacian, and focus lies on when the symmetric and non-symmetric AMV Laplacians coincide. Besides Riemannian and 3D contact sub-Riemannian manifolds, we show that they are identical on a large class of metric measure spaces, including locally Ahlfors regular spaces with suitably vanishing distortion. In addition, we study the context of weighted domains of $\mathbb {R}^n$—where the two operators typically differ—and provide explicit formulae for these operators, including points where the weight vanishes.
where $a, \epsilon, \eta \gt 0$, q is L2-subcritical, p is L2-supercritical, $\lambda\in \mathbb{R}$ is an unknown parameter that appears as a Lagrange multiplier and h is a positive and continuous function. It is proved that the numbers of normalized solutions are at least the numbers of global maximum points of h when ϵ is small enough. The solutions obtained are local minimizers and probably not ground state solutions for the lack of symmetry of the potential h. Secondly, the stability of several different sets consisting of the local minimizers is analysed. Compared with the results of the corresponding autonomous equation, the appearance of the potential h increases the number of the local minimizers and the number of the stable sets. In particular, our results cover the Sobolev critical case $p=2N/(N-2)$.
We study the possible singularities of an m-subharmonic function $\varphi $ along a complex submanifold V of a compact Kähler manifold, finding a maximal rate of growth for $\varphi $ which depends only on m and k, the codimension of V. When $k < m$, we show that $\varphi $ has at worst log poles along V, and that the strength of these poles is moreover constant along V. This can be thought of as an analogue of Siu’s theorem.
We will present the proof of existence and uniqueness of renormalized solutions to a broad family of strongly non-linear elliptic equations with lower order terms and data of low integrability. The leading part of the operator satisfies general growth conditions settling the problem in the framework of fully anisotropic and inhomogeneous Musielak–Orlicz spaces. The setting considered in this paper generalized known results in the variable exponents, anisotropic polynomial, double phase and classical Orlicz setting.
Starting from loop equations, we prove that the wave functions constructed from topological recursion on families of degree $2$ spectral curves with a global involution satisfy a system of partial differential equations, whose equations can be seen as quantizations of the original spectral curves. The families of spectral curves can be parametrized with the so-called times, defined as periods on second type cycles, and with the poles. These equations can be used to prove that the WKB solution of many isomonodromic systems coincides with the topological recursion wave function, which proves that the topological recursion wave function is annihilated by a quantum curve. This recovers many known quantum curves for genus zero spectral curves and generalizes this construction to hyperelliptic curves.
In this paper, we address two boundary cases of the classical Kazdan–Warner problem. More precisely, we consider the problem of prescribing the Gaussian and boundary geodesic curvature on a disk of $\mathbb {R}^2$, and the scalar and mean curvature on a ball in higher dimensions, via a conformal change of the metric. We deal with the case of negative interior curvature and positive boundary curvature. Using a Ljapunov–Schmidt procedure, we obtain new existence results when the prescribed functions are close to constants.
In this paper, we are concerned with the non-existence of positive solutions of a Hartree–Poisson system:
\begin{equation*}\left\{\begin{aligned}&-\Delta u=\left(\frac{1}{|x|^{n-2}}\ast v^p\right)v^{p-1},\quad u \gt 0\ \text{in} \ \mathbb{R}^{n},\\&-\Delta v=\left(\frac{1}{|x|^{n-2}}\ast u^q\right)u^{q-1},\quad v \gt 0\ \text{in} \ \mathbb{R}^{n},\end{aligned}\right.\end{equation*}
where $n \geq3$ and $\min\{p,q\} \gt 1$. We prove that the system has no positive solution under a Serrin-type condition. In addition, the system has no positive radial classical solution in a Sobolev-type subcritical case. In addition, the system has no positive solution with some integrability in this Sobolev-type subcritical case. Finally, the relation between a Liouville theorem and the estimate of boundary blowing-up rates is given.
where $q\ge p\ge2$, r > q, $0 \lt \mu \lt N$ and $w,f \in L^1_{\rm loc}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ are two non-negative functions such that $w(x) \le C_1|x|^a$ and $f(x) \ge C_2|x|^b$ for all $|x| \gt R_0$, where $R_0,C_1,C_2 \gt 0$ and $a,b\in\mathbb{R}$. Under some appropriate assumptions on p, q, r, µ, a, b and N, we prove various Liouville-type theorems for weak solutions which are stable or stable outside a compact set of $\mathbb{R}^N$. First, we establish the standard integral estimates via stability property to derive the non-existence results for stable weak solutions. Then, by means of the Pohožaev identity, we deduce the Liouville-type theorem for weak solutions which are stable outside a compact set.
We consider the two-dimensional minimisation problem for $\inf \{ E_a(\varphi ):\varphi \in H^1(\mathbb {R}^2)\ \text {and}\ \|\varphi \|_2^2=1\}$, where the energy functional $ E_a(\varphi )$ is a cubic-quintic Schrödinger functional defined by $E_a(\varphi ):=\tfrac 12\int _{\mathbb {R}^2}|\nabla \varphi |^2\,dx-\tfrac 14a\int _{\mathbb {R}^2}|\varphi |^4\,dx+\tfrac 16a^2\int _{\mathbb {R}^2}|\varphi |^6\,dx$. We study the existence and asymptotic behaviour of the ground state. The ground state $\varphi _{a}$ exists if and only if the $L^2$ mass a satisfies $a>a_*={\lVert Q\rVert }^2_2$, where Q is the unique positive radial solution of $-\Delta u+ u-u^3=0$ in $\mathbb {R}^2$. We show the optimal vanishing rate $\int _{\mathbb {R}^2}|\nabla \varphi _{a}|^2\,dx\sim (a-a_*)$ as $a\searrow a_*$ and obtain the limit profile.
In this paper, we prove some weighted sharp inequalities of Trudinger–Moser type. The weights considered here have a logarithmic growth. These inequalities are completely new and are established in some new Sobolev spaces where the norm is a mixture of the norm of the gradient in two different Lebesgue spaces. This fact allowed us to prove a very interesting result of sharpness for the case of doubly exponential growth at infinity. Some improvements of these inequalities for the weakly convergent sequences are also proved using a version of the Concentration-Compactness principle of P.L. Lions. Taking profit of these inequalities, we treat in the last part of this work some elliptic quasilinear equation involving the weighted $(N,q)-$Laplacian operator where $1 < q < N$ and a nonlinearities enjoying a new type of exponential growth condition at infinity.
