SynopsisAn existence theorem is obtained for a fourth-order semilinear elliptic problem in RN involving the critical Sobolev exponent (N + 4)/(N − 4), N>4. A preliminary result is that the best constant in the Sobolev embedding L2N/(N–4) (RN) is attained by all translations and dilations of (1 + ∣x∣2)(4-N)/2. The best constant is found to be

By looking for critical points of functionals defined in some subspaces of , invariant under some subgroups of O (N), we prove the existence of many positive non-radial solutions for the following semilinear elliptic problem involving critical Sobolev exponent on an annulus, where 2* − 1 := (N + 2)/(N − 2) (N ≥ 4), the domain is an annulus and f : R+ × R+ → R is a C1 function, which is a subcritical perturbation.

SynopsisWe analyse the set of nonnegative, global, and radial solutions (radial solutions, for short) of the equationwhere 0 < p < 1, and is a radial and almost everywhere nonnegative function. We show that radial solutions of (E) exist if f(r) = o(r2p/1−1−p) or if f(r) ≈ cr2p/1−p as r → ∞, whereWhen f(r) = c*r2p/1−p + h(r) with h(r) = o(r2p/1−p) as r → ∞, radial solutions continue to exist if h(r) is sufficiently small at infinity. Existence, however, breaks down if h(r) > 0,Whenever they exist, radial solutions are characterised in terms of their asymptotic behaviour as r → ∞.

For a sign-changing function a(x) we consider the solutions of the following semilinear elliptic problem in ℝn with n ≥ 3:where γ > 0 and 0 < q < 1 < p < (n + 2)/(n − 2). Under an appropriate growth assumption on a− at infinity, we show that all solutions are compactly supported. When Ω+ = {x ∈ ℝn | a(x) > 0} has several connected components, we prove that there exists an interval on γ in which the solutions exist. In particular, if a(x) = a(|x|), by applying the mountain-pass theorem there are at least two solutions with radial symmetry that are positive in Ω+.

SynopsisIn this paper we study the following boundary value problemwhere Ω is a bounded domain in Rn, n≧3, x ∈Rn, p* = 2n/(n – 2) is the critical exponent for the Sobolev embedding is a real parameter and f(x, t) increases, at infinity, more slowly than .By using variational techniques, we prove the existence of multiple solutions to the equations (0.1), in the case when λ belongs to a suitable left neighbourhood of an arbitrary eigenvalue of −Δ, and the existence of at least one solution for any λ sufficiently large.

In this paper, we consider the existence of multiple solutions of biharmonic equations boundary value problemwhere Ω is a bounded smooth domain in ℝN, N ≥ 5; λ ∈ ℝ1 is a given constant; p = 2N/(N − 4) is the critical Sobolev exponent for the embedding ; Δ2 = ΔΔ denotes iterated N-dimensional Laplacian; f(x) is a given function. Some results on the existence and non-existence of multiple solutions for the above problem have been obtained by Ekeland's variational principle and the mountain-pass lemma under some assumptions on f(x) and N.

By means of Minimax theory, we study the existence of one nontrivial solution and multiple nontrivial solutions for a fourth-order semilinear elliptic problem with Navier boundary conditions.
