In this paper, we study the non-existence of solutions for the following (model) problem in a bounded open subset Ω of RN: with Dirichlet boundary conditions, where p > 1, q > 1 and μ is a bounded Radon measure. We prove that if λ is a measure which is concentrated on a set of zero r capacity (p < r ≤ N), and if q > r (p − 1)/(r − p), then there is no solution to the above problem, in the sense that if one approximates the measure λ with a sequence of regular functions fn, and if un is the sequence of solutions of the corresponding problems, then un converges to zero.We also study the non-existence of solutions for the bilateral obstacle problem with datum a measure λ concentrated on a set of zero p capacity, with u in for every υ in K, finding again that the only solution obtained by approximation is u = 0.

SynopsisWe consider the equation Lφ − λpφ + γqφ2 = f on a bounded domain in Rn with homogeneous Neumann-Dirichlet boundary conditions. L is a negative definite uniformly elliptic differential operator, while, p, q and f are positive functions. We show that there exists exactly one positive solution for each λ ∈ R and γ > 0. This solution can be analytically continued throughout Re γ > 0: it is a Laplace transform of a positive measure. The measure is bounded prior to the bifurcation point of the associated “homogeneous” equation and unbounded after. Noting that any Laplace transform of positive measure has associated with it a natural sequence of Tchebycheff systems, it now follows that one can obtain monotonically converging upper and lower bounds which are provided by the generalized Padé approximants generated from the Tchebycheff systems.

We prove the existence of a weak solution for the degenerate nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet boundary-value problem Lu-μug1+hu,∇ug2=f in Ω, u=0 on ∂Ω, in a suitable weighted Sobolev space, where Ω⊂ℝn is a bounded domain and h is a continuous bounded nonlinearity.

AbstractWe consider the nonlinear elliptic equation with quadratic convection $$ -\Delta u + g(u) |\nabla u|^2=\lambda f(u) $$ - Δ u + g ( u ) | ∇ u | 2 = λ f ( u ) in a smooth bounded domain $$ \Omega \subset {\mathbb {R}}^N $$ Ω ⊂ R N ($$ N \ge 3$$ N ≥ 3 ) with zero Dirichlet boundary condition. Here, $$ \lambda $$ λ is a positive parameter, $$ f:[0, \infty ):(0\infty ) $$ f : [ 0 , ∞ ) : ( 0 ∞ ) is a strictly increasing function of class $$C^1$$ C 1 , and g is a continuous positive decreasing function in $$ (0, \infty ) $$ ( 0 , ∞ ) and integrable in a neighborhood of zero. Under natural hypotheses on the nonlinearities f and g, we provide some new regularity results for the extremal solution $$u^*$$ u ∗ . A feature of this paper is that our main contributions require neither the convexity (even at infinity) of the function $$ h(t)=f(t)e^{-\int _0^t g(s)ds}$$ h ( t ) = f ( t ) e - ∫ 0 t g ( s ) d s , nor that the functions $$ gh/h'$$ g h / h ′ or $$ h'' h/h'^2$$ h ′ ′ h / h ′ 2 admit a limit at infinity.
