AbstractWe examine the elliptic system given by$$\left\{ {\matrix{ {-\Delta u = \lambda f(v)} \hfill &amp; {{\rm in }\,\,\Omega ,} \hfill \cr {-\Delta v = \gamma f(u)} \hfill &amp; {{\rm in }\,\,\Omega ,} \hfill \cr {u = v = 0} \hfill &amp; {{\rm on }\,\,\partial \Omega ,} \hfill \cr } } \right.$$where λ, γ are positive parameters, Ω is a smooth bounded domain in ℝNandfis aC2positive, nondecreasing and convex function in [0, ∞) such thatf(t)/t→ ∞ ast→ ∞. Assuming$$0 < \tau _-: = \mathop {\lim \inf }\limits_{t\to \infty } \displaystyle{{f(t){f}^{\prime \prime}(t)} \over {{f}^{\prime}{(t)}^2}} \les \tau _ + : = \mathop {\lim \sup }\limits_{t\to \infty } \displaystyle{{f(t){f}^{\prime \prime}(t)} \over {{f}^{\prime}{(t)}^2}} \les 2,$$we show that the extremal solution (u*,v*) associated with the above system is smooth provided thatN&lt; (2α*(2 − τ+) + 2τ+)/(τ+)max{1, τ+}, where α*&gt; 1 denotes the largest root of the second-order polynomial$$[P_{f}(\alpha,\tau_{-},\tau_{+}):=(2-\tau_{-})^{2} \alpha^{2}- 4(2-\tau_{+})\alpha+4(1-\tau_{+}).]$$As a consequence,u*,v* ∈L∞(Ω) forN&lt; 5. Moreover, if τ−= τ+, thenu*,v* ∈L∞(Ω) forN&lt; 10.

AbstractWe consider the elliptic system ${\Delta u\hskip-0.284528pt=\hskip-0.284528ptu^{p}v^{q}}$, ${\Delta v\hskip-0.284528pt=\hskip-0.284528ptu^{r}v^{s}}$ in Ω with the boundary conditions ${{\partial u/\partial\eta}=\lambda u}$, ${{\partial v/\partial\eta}=\mu v}$ on ${\partial\Omega}$, where Ω is a smooth bounded domain of ${\mathbb{R}^{N}}$, ${p,s>1}$, ${q,r>0}$, ${\lambda,\mu>0}$ and η stands for the outward unit normal. Assuming the “criticality” hypothesis ${(p-1)(s-1)=qr}$, we completely analyze the values of ${\lambda,\mu}$ for which there exist positive solutions and give a detailed description of the set of solutions.

This study concerns the existence of positive solutions to classes of boundary value problems of the form−∆u = g(x,u), x ∈ Ω,u(x) = 0, x ∈ ∂Ω,where ∆ denote the Laplacian operator, Ω is a smooth bounded domain in RN (N ≥ 2) with ∂Ω of class C2, and connected, and g(x, 0) < 0 for some x ∈ Ω (semipositone problems). By using the method of sub-super solutions we prove the existence of positive solution to special types of g(x,u).

In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the following fractional problem involving the Hardy potential and concave–convex nonlinearities: [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a smooth bounded domain in [Formula: see text] containing [Formula: see text] in its interior, and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] which may change sign in [Formula: see text]. We use the variational methods and the Nehari manifold decomposition to prove that this problem has at least two positive solutions for [Formula: see text] sufficiently small. The variational approach requires that [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], the latter being the best fractional Hardy constant on [Formula: see text].

AbstractWe consider the equation {-\Delta_{p}u=f(u)} in a smooth bounded domain of {\mathbb{R}^{n}}, where {\Delta_{p}} is the p-Laplace operator. Explicit examples of unbounded stable energy solutions are known if {n\geq p+\frac{4p}{p-1}}. Instead, when {n<p+\frac{4p}{p-1}}, stable solutions have been proved to be bounded only in the radial case or under strong assumptions on f. In this article we solve a long-standing open problem: we prove an interior {C^{\alpha}} bound for stable solutions which holds for every nonnegative {f\in C^{1}} whenever {p\geq 2} and the optimal condition {n<p+\frac{4p}{p-1}} holds. When {p\in(1,2)}, we obtain the same result under the nonsharp assumption {n<5p}. These interior estimates lead to the boundedness of stable and extremal solutions to the associated Dirichlet problem when the domain is strictly convex. Our work extends to the p-Laplacian some of the recent results of Figalli, Ros-Oton, Serra, and the first author for the classical Laplacian, which have established the regularity of stable solutions when {p=2} in the optimal range {n<10}.

Abstract: In this note, we deal with the Helmholtz equation −∆u+cu = λf(u) with Dirichlet boundary condition in a smooth bounded domain Ω of R n , n > 1. The nonlinearity is superlinear that is limt−→∞ f(t) t = ∞ and f is a positive, convexe and C 2 function defined on [0,∞). We establish existence of regular solutions for λ small enough and the bifurcation phenomena. We prove the existence of critical value λ ∗ such that the problem does not have solution for λ > λ∗ even in the weak sense. We also prove the existence of a type of stable solutions u ∗ called extremal solutions. We prove that for f(t) = e t , Ω = B1 and n ≤ 9, u ∗ is regular.

AbstractLet$\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{N} $, N ≽ 2, be a smooth bounded domain. For s ∈ (1/2, 1), we consider a problem of the form $$\left\{\begin{array}{@{}ll} (-\Delta)^s u = \mu(x)\, \mathbb{D}_s^{2}(u) + \lambda f(x), & {\rm in}\,\Omega, \\ u= 0, & {\rm in}\,\mathbb{R}^{N} \setminus \Omega,\end{array}\right.$$ where λ > 0 is a real parameter, f belongs to a suitable Lebesgue space, $\mu \in L^{\infty}$ and $\mathbb {D}_s^2$ is a nonlocal ‘gradient square’ term given by $$\mathbb{D}_s^2 (u) = \frac{a_{N,s}}{2} \int_{\mathbb{R}^{N}} \frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^2}{|x-y|^{N+2s}}\,{\rm d}y.$$ Depending on the real parameter λ > 0, we derive existence and non-existence results. The proof of our existence result relies on sharp Calderón–Zygmund type regularity results for the fractional Poisson equation with low integrability data. We also obtain existence results for related problems involving different nonlocal diffusion terms.

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the existence of multiple solutions for the following two fractional problems:\left\{\begin{aligned} \displaystyle(-\Delta_{\Omega})^{s}u-\lambda u&% \displaystyle=f(x,u)&&\displaystyle\text{in }\Omega,\\ \displaystyle u&\displaystyle=0&&\displaystyle\text{in }\partial\Omega\end{% aligned}\right.\qquad\text{and}\qquad\left\{\begin{aligned} \displaystyle(-% \Delta_{\mathbb{R}^{N}})^{s}u-\lambda u&\displaystyle=f(x,u)&&\displaystyle% \text{in }\Omega,\\ \displaystyle u&\displaystyle=0&&\displaystyle\text{in }\mathbb{R}^{N}% \setminus\Omega,\end{aligned}\right.where{s\in(0,1)},{N>2s}, Ω is a smooth bounded domain of{\mathbb{R}^{N}}, and{f:\bar{\Omega}\times\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}}is a superlinear continuous function which does not satisfy the well-known Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. Here{(-\Delta_{\Omega})^{s}}is the spectral Laplacian and{(-\Delta_{\mathbb{R}^{N}})^{s}}is the fractional Laplacian in{\mathbb{R}^{N}}. By applying variational theorems of mixed type due to Marino and Saccon and the Linking Theorem, we prove the existence of multiple solutions for the above problems.

We consider the problem −Δu = c0K(x)upε, u > 0 in Ω, u = 0 on δΩ, where Ω is a smooth, bounded domain in ℝN, N ≥ 3, c0 = N(N − 2), pε = (N + 2)/(N − 2) − ε and K is a smooth, positive function on . We prove that least-energy solutions of the above problem are non-degenerate for small ε > 0 under some assumptions on the coefficient function K. This is a generalization of the recent result by Grossi for K ≡ 1, and needs precise estimates and a new argument.
