We continue to study the nonlinear fourth-order problem TΔu – DΔ2u = λ/(L + u)2, –L < u < 0 in Ω, u = 0, Δu = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω ⊂ ℝN is a bounded smooth domain and λ > 0 is a parameter. When N = 2 and Ω is a convex domain, we know that there is λc > 0 such that for λ ∊ (0, λc) the problem possesses at least two regular solutions. We will see that the convexity assumption on Ω can be removed, i.e. the main results are still true for a general bounded smooth domain Ω. The main technique in the proofs of this paper is the blow-up argument, and the main difficulty is the analysis of touch-down behaviour.

This paper is mainly concerned with the global asymptotic behaviour of the unique solution to a class of singular Dirichlet problems − Δu = b(x)g(u), u > 0, x ∈ Ω, u|∂Ω = 0, where Ω is a bounded smooth domain in ℝ n , g ∈ C1(0, ∞) is positive and decreasing in (0, ∞) with $\lim _{s\rightarrow 0^+}g(s)=\infty$ , b ∈ Cα(Ω) for some α ∈ (0, 1), which is positive in Ω, but may vanish or blow up on the boundary properly. Moreover, we reveal the asymptotic behaviour of such a solution when the parameters on b tend to the corresponding critical values.

In this article, we have determined the remainder term for Hardy–Sobolev inequality in H1(Ω) for Ω a bounded smooth domain and studied the existence, non existence and blow up of first eigen value and eigen function for the corresponding Hardy–Sobolev operator with Neumann boundary condition.

The structure of positive boundary blow-up solutions to semilinear problems of the form −Δu = λf(u) in Ω, u = ∞ on ∂Ω, Ω ⊂ RN a bounded smooth domain, is studied for a class of nonlinearities f ∈ C1 ([0, ∞)\{z2}) satisfying f (0) = f(z1) = f (z2) = 0 with 0 < z1 < z2, f < 0 in (0, z1)∪(z2, ∞), f > 0 in (z1, z2). Two positive boundary-layer solutions and infinitely many positive spike-layer solutions are obtained for λ sufficiently large.

Abstract Let Ω be a bounded smooth domain in $\mathbb {R}^{N}$ which contains a ball of radius R centered at the origin, N ≥ 3. Under suitable symmetry assumptions, for each δ ∈ (0, R), we establish the existence of a sequence (um, δ) of nodal solutions to the critical problem $$\begin{align*}-\Delta u=|u|^{2^{\ast}-2}u\text{ in }\Omega_{\delta}:=\{x\in\Omega :\left\vert x\right\vert>\delta\},\quad u=0\text{ on }\partial \Omega_{\delta},\nonumber\end{align*}$$ where $2^{\ast }:=\frac {2N}{N-2}$ is the critical Sobolev exponent. We show that, if Ω is strictly star-shaped then, for each $m\in \mathbb {N},$ the solutions um, δ concentrate and blow up at 0, as $\delta \rightarrow 0,$ and their limit profile is a tower of nodal bubbles, that is, it is a sum of rescaled nonradial sign-changing solutions to the limit problem $$\begin{align*}-\Delta u=|u|^{2^{\ast}-2}u, \quad u\in D^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^{N}),\nonumber\end{align*}$$ centered at the origin.

AbstractThis paper is concerned with the boundary behavior of the unique convex solution to a singular Dirichlet problem for the Monge–Ampère equation\operatorname{det}D^{2}u=b(x)g(-u),\quad u<0,\,x\in\Omega,\qquad u|_{\partial% \Omega}=0,where Ω is a strictly convex and bounded smooth domain in{\mathbb{R}^{N}}, with{N\geq 2},{g\in C^{1}((0,\infty),(0,\infty))}is decreasing in{(0,\infty)}and satisfies{\lim_{s\rightarrow 0^{+}}g(s)=\infty}, and{b\in C^{\infty}(\Omega)}is positive in Ω, but may vanish or blow up on the boundary. We find a new structure condition ongwhich plays a crucial role in the boundary behavior of such solution.

We consider the problem Δu = λf(u) in Ω, u(x) tends to +∞ as x approaches ∂Ω. Here, Ω is a bounded smooth domain in RN, N ≥ 1 and λ is a positive parameter. In this paper, we are interested in analysing the role of the sign changes of the function f in the number of solutions of this problem. As a consequence of our main result, we find that if Ω is star-shaped and f behaves like f(u) = u(u−a)(u−1) with ½ < a < 1, then there is a solution bigger than 1 for all λ and there exists λ0 > 0 such that, for λ < λ0, there is no positive solution that crosses 1 and, for λ > λ0, at least two solutions that cross 1. The proof is based on a priori estimates, the construction of barriers and topological-degree arguments.

AbstractIn this paper, we analyse the semilinear fourth-order problem ( − Δ)2 u = g(u) in exterior domains of ℝN. Assuming the function g is nondecreasing and continuous in [0, + ∞) and positive in (0, + ∞), we show that positive classical supersolutions u of the problem which additionally verify − Δu &gt; 0 exist if and only if N ≥ 5 and $$\int_0^\delta \displaystyle{{g(s)}\over{s^{(({2(N-2)})/({N-4}))}}} {\rm d}s \lt + \infty$$ for some δ &gt; 0. When only radially symmetric solutions are taken into account, we also show that the monotonicity of g is not needed in this result. Finally, we consider the same problem posed in ℝN and show that if g is additionally convex and lies above a power greater than one at infinity, then all positive supersolutions u automatically verify − Δu &gt; 0 in ℝN, and they do not exist when the previous condition fails.
