In this paper, we consider the Hénon problem in the ball with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We study the asymptotic profile of radial solutions and then deduce the exact computation of their Morse index when the exponent [Formula: see text] is close to [Formula: see text]. Next we focus on the planar case and describe the asymptotic profile of some solutions which minimize the energy among functions which are invariant for reflection and rotations of a given angle [Formula: see text]. By considerations based on the Morse index we see that, depending on the values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], such least energy solutions can be radial, or nonradial and different one from another.

Abstract We consider nonlinear 2nd-order elliptic problems of the type $$\begin{align*} & -\Delta u=f(u)\ \textrm{in}\ \Omega, \qquad u=0\ \textrm{on}\ \partial \Omega, \end{align*}$$where $\Omega $ is an open $C^{1,1}$–domain in ${{\mathbb{R}}}^N$, $N\geq 2$, under some general assumptions on the nonlinearity that include the case of a sublinear pure power $f(s)=|s|^{p-1}s$ with $0<p<1$ and of Allen–Cahn type $f(s)=\lambda (s-|s|^{p-1}s)$ with $p>1$ and $\lambda>\lambda _2(\Omega )$ (the second Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian). We prove the existence of a least energy nodal (i.e., sign changing) solution and of a nodal solution of mountain-pass type. We then give explicit examples of domains where the associated levels do not coincide. For the case where $\Omega $ is a ball or annulus and $f$ is of class $C^1$, we prove instead that the levels coincide and that least energy nodal solutions are nonradial but axially symmetric functions. Finally, we provide stronger results for the Allen–Cahn type nonlinearities in case $\Omega $ is either a ball or a square. In particular, we give a complete description of the solution set for $\lambda \sim \lambda _2(\Omega )$, computing the Morse index of the solutions.

We study the elliptic system −Δu = δ(x)−avp in Ω, −Δv = δ(x)−buq in Ω, subject to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here, Ω ⊂ ℝN, N ≥ 1, is a smooth and bounded domain, δ(x) = dist(x, ∂Ω), a, b ≥ 0 and p, q ∈ ℝ satisfy pq > −1. The existence, non-existence and uniqueness of solutions are investigated in terms of a, b, p and q.

We prove the existence of (a pair of) least energy sign changing solutions of [Formula: see text] when Ω is a bounded domain in ℝN, N = 5 and λ is slightly smaller than λ1, the first eigenvalue of -Δ with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions on Ω.

AbstractIn this note, we prove the Payne-type conjecture about the behaviour of the nodal set of least energy sign-changing solutions for the equation $-\Delta _p u = f(u)$ in bounded Steiner symmetric domains $ \Omega \subset {{\open R}^N} $ under the zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. The nonlinearity f is assumed to be either superlinear or resonant. In the latter case, least energy sign-changing solutions are second eigenfunctions of the zero Dirichlet p-Laplacian in Ω. We show that the nodal set of any least energy sign-changing solution intersects the boundary of Ω. The proof is based on a moving polarization argument.

Abstract We find the most general solution to Chern-Simons AdS3 gravity in Fefferman-Graham gauge. The connections are equivalent to geometries that have a non-trivial curved boundary, characterized by a 2-dimensional vielbein and a spin connection. We define a variational principle for Dirichlet boundary conditions and find the boundary stress tensor in the Chern-Simons formalism. Using this variational principle as the departure point, we show how to treat other choices of boundary conditions in this formalism, such as, including the mixed boundary conditions corresponding to a $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ -deformation.

Abstract The gravitational charge algebra of generic asymptotically locally (A)dS spacetimes is derived in n dimensions. The analysis is performed in the Starobinsky/Fefferman-Graham gauge, without assuming any further boundary condition than the minimal falloffs for conformal compactification. In particular, the boundary structure is allowed to fluctuate and plays the role of source yielding some symplectic flux at the boundary. Using the holographic renormalization procedure, the divergences are removed from the symplectic structure, which leads to finite expressions. The charges associated with boundary diffeomorphisms are generically non-vanishing, non-integrable and not conserved, while those associated with boundary Weyl rescalings are non-vanishing only in odd dimensions due to the presence of Weyl anomalies in the dual theory. The charge algebra exhibits a field-dependent 2-cocycle in odd dimensions. When the general framework is restricted to three-dimensional asymptotically AdS spacetimes with Dirichlet boundary conditions, the 2-cocycle reduces to the Brown-Henneaux central extension. The analysis is also specified to leaky boundary conditions in asymptotically locally (A)dS spacetimes that lead to the Λ-BMS asymptotic symmetry group. In the flat limit, the latter contracts into the BMS group in n dimensions.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to extend results from [A. Cañada, J. A. Montero and S. Villegas, Lyapunov inequalities for partial differential equations, J. Funct. Anal. 237 (2006), 1, 176–193] about Lyapunov-type inequalities for linear partial differential equations to nonlinear partial differential equations with 𝑝-Laplacian with zero Neumann or Dirichlet boundary conditions.

Abstract In the present paper, a class of fourth-order nonlinear difference equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions or periodic boundary conditions are considered. Based on the invariant sets of descending flow in combination with the mountain pass lemma, we establish a series of sufficient conditions on the existence of multiple solutions for these boundary value problems. In addition, some examples are provided to demonstrate the applicability of our results.
