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the zero set $V^{-1}(0)=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^N| V(x)=0\}$ of V. It is worth pointing out that the penalization technique is no longer applicable to the local sublinear case $p\in \left(\frac{N+\alpha}{N},2\right)$.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.
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.
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.
and discuss generalized weighted Hardy-type inequalities associated with the measure $d\mu=e^{v(x)}dx$. As an application, we obtain several Liouville-type results for positive solutions of the non-linear elliptic problem with singular lower order term
where Ω is a bounded or an unbounded exterior domain in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$, $N \gt p \gt 1$, $B+p-1 \gt 0$, as well as of the non-autonomous quasilinear elliptic problem
We establish that if α > 1 and $n\geq3$ or if $\alpha\in (1-\epsilon_0, 1)$ with $n=2m\geq4$, then $v_{\alpha}\equiv0$. As an application, we present a new proof of the classical Beckner inequality.
This article focuses on two kinds of generalized special Lagrangian type equations. We investigate the Dirichlet problem for these equations with supercritical phase and critical phase in $\mathbb {R}^n$, deriving the a priori estimates and establishing the existence under the assumption of a subsolution. Furthermore, we also consider the corresponding special Lagrangian curvature type equations with supercritical phase and critical phase.
This work investigates the online machine learning problem of prediction with expert advice in an adversarial setting through numerical analysis of, and experiments with, a related partial differential equation. The problem is a repeated two-person game involving decision-making at each step informed by $n$ experts in an adversarial environment. The continuum limit of this game over a large number of steps is a degenerate elliptic equation whose solution encodes the optimal strategies for both players. We develop numerical methods for approximating the solution of this equation in relatively high dimensions ($n\leq 10$) by exploiting symmetries in the equation and the solution to drastically reduce the size of the computational domain. Based on our numerical results we make a number of conjectures about the optimality of various adversarial strategies, in particular about the non-optimality of the COMB strategy.
where $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N(N\ge3)$ denotes a smooth bounded domain, ν represents the unit outer normal vector to $\partial \Omega$, c is a positive constant, and λ acts as a Lagrange multiplier. When the non-linearity f exhibits a general mass supercritical growth at infinity, we establish the existence of normalized solutions, which are not necessarily positive solutions and can be characterized as mountain pass type critical points of the associated constraint functional. Our approach provides a uniform treatment of various non-linearities, including cases such as $f(u)=|u|^{p-2}u$, $|u|^{q-2}u+ |u|^{p-2}u$, and $-|u|^{q-2}u+|u|^{p-2}u$, where $2 \lt q \lt 2+\frac{4}{N} \lt p \lt 2^*$. The result is obtained through a combination of a minimax principle with Morse index information for constrained functionals and a novel blow-up analysis for the NLS equation under Neumann boundary conditions.
In this article, we investigate necessary and sufficient conditions on the perturbation ρ for the existence of positive least energy solutions of the critical singular semilinear elliptic equation $ -\Delta u = \frac{|u|^{2^{*}(s)-2}}{|x|^s}u + \rho(u) $ with Dirichlet boundary condition in a bounded smooth domain in $\mathbb R^n$ containing the origin, where $2^*(s)=\frac{2(n-s)}{n-2}$, $0\leq s \lt 2 \lt n$. We show that the almost necessary and sufficient condition obtained for the case s = 0 in [1] differs conceptually when $0 \lt s \lt 2$.
In the article, we investigate Trudinger–Moser type inequalities in presence of logarithmic kernels in dimension N. A sharp threshold, depending on N, is detected for the existence of extremal functions or blow-up, where the domain is the ball or the entire space $\mathbb{R}^N$. We also show that the extremal functions satisfy suitable Euler–Lagrange equations. When the domain is the entire space, such equations can be derived by a N-Laplacian Schrödinger equation strongly coupled with a higher order fractional Poisson’s equation. The results extends [16] to any dimension $N \geq 2$.
where $\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^{n}$ is a bounded domain of class $C^{1,1}$, $1<p<({n+s})/({n-s}),\,n>\max \{1, 2s \}, 0<s<1, d>0$ and $\mathcal {N}_{s}u$ is the nonlocal Neumann derivative. We show that for small $d,$ the least energy solutions $u_d$ of the above problem achieve an $L^{\infty }$-bound independent of $d.$ Using this together with suitable $L^{r}$-estimates on $u_d,$ we show that the least energy solution $u_d$ achieves a maximum on the boundary of $\Omega $ for d sufficiently small.
having prescribed mass $\int_{\mathbb{R}^{N}}|u|^2 =a^2,$ where a > 0 is a constant, λ appears as a Lagrange multiplier. We focus on the pure L2-supercritical case and combination case of L2-subcritical and L2-supercritical nonlinearities
where $\lambda>0$ is a parameter, $h>1$ and $\Delta _\infty ^h u=|Du|^{h-3} \langle D^2uDu,Du \rangle $ is the highly degenerate and h-homogeneous operator related to the infinity Laplacian. The nonlinear term $f(x,t,p):\Omega \times (0,\infty )\times \mathbb {R}^{n}\rightarrow \mathbb {R}$ is a continuous function and may exhibit singularity at $t\rightarrow 0^{+}$. We establish the comparison principle by the double variables method for the general equation $\Delta _\infty ^h u=F(x,u,Du)$ under some conditions on the term $F(x,t,p)$. Then, we establish the existence of viscosity solutions to the singular boundary value problem in a bounded domain based on Perron’s method and the comparison principle. Finally, we obtain the existence result in the entire Euclidean space by the approximation procedure. In this procedure, we also establish the local Lipschitz continuity of the viscosity solution.
In this paper, we consider the closed spacelike solution to a class of Hessian quotient equations in de Sitter space. Under mild assumptions, we obtain an existence result using standard degree theory based on a priori estimates.
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.
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.
