We study the summability up to the boundary of the second derivatives of solutions to a class of Dirichlet boundary value problems involving the p-Laplace operator. Our results are meaningful for the cases when the Hopf’s Lemma cannot be applied to ensure that there are no critical points of the solution on the boundary of the domain.

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.

We study the problem of existence of positive, spherically symmetric strong solutions of quasilinear elliptic equations involvingp-Laplacian in the ball. We allow simultaneous strong dependence of the right-hand side on both the unknown function and its gradient. The elliptic problem is studied by relating it to the corresponding singular ordinary integro-differential equation. Solvability range is obtained in the form of simple inequalities involving the coefficients describing the problem. We also study a posteriori regularity of solutions. An existence result is formulated for elliptic equations on arbitrary bounded domains in dependence of outer radius of domain.
