We will consider the following problem $$-\Delta u-\lambda \frac{u}{{\left|x\right|}^2}={\left|\nabla u\right|}^p+cf,u\>0\text{in}\Omega ,$$ where $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$ is a domain such that $0\in \Omega$, $N\ge 3$, $c\>0$ and $\lambda \>0$. The main objective of this note is to study the precise threshold $p_{+}=p_{+}\left(\lambda \right)$ for which there is novery weak supersolutionif $p\ge p_{+}\left(\lambda \right)$. The optimality of $p_{+}\left(\lambda \right)$ is also proved by showing the solvability of the Dirichlet problem when $1\le p\<p_{+}\left(\lambda \right)$, for $c\>0$ small enough and $f\ge 0$ under some hypotheses that we will prescribe.

The paper analyzes the influence on the meaning of natural growth in the gradient of a perturbation by a Hardy potential in some elliptic equations. Indeed, in the case of the Laplacian the natural problem becomes $-\Delta u-{\Lambda }_N\frac{u}{{\left|x\right|}^2}={\left|\nabla u+\frac{N-2}{2}\frac{u}{{\left|x\right|}^2}x\right|}^2{\left|x\right|}^{\left(N-2\right)/2}+\lambda f\left(x\right)$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial \Omega$, ${\Lambda }_N={(\left(N-2\right)/2)}^2$. This problem is a particular case of problem (2). Notice that $\left(N-2\right)/2$ is optimal as coefficient and exponent on the right hand side.

Using a perturbation argument based on a finite dimensional reduction, we find positive solutions to a given class of perturbed degenerate elliptic equations with critical growth.

The paper deals with the study of a quasilinear elliptic equation involving the p-laplacian with a Hardy-type singular potential and a critical nonlinearity. Existence and nonexistence results are first proved for the equation with a concave singular term. Then we study the critical case related to Hardy inequality, providing a description of the behavior of radial solutions of the limiting problem and obtaining existence and multiplicity results for perturbed problems through variational and topological...

In this work we study the problem $u_t{-div\left(\right|x|}^{-2\gamma }\nabla u)=\lambda \frac{u^{\alpha }}{{\left|x\right|}^{2(\gamma +1)}}+f$ in $\Omega \times (0,T)$, $u\ge 0$ in $\Omega \times (0,T)$, $u=0$ on $\partial \Omega \times (0,T)$, $u(x,0)=u_0\left(x\right)$ in $\Omega$, $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$ $(N\ge 2)$ is a bounded regular domain such that $0\in \Omega$, $\lambda >0$, $\alpha >0$, $-\infty <\gamma <\left(N-2\right)/2$, $f$ and $u_0$ are positive functions such that $f\in L^1(\Omega \times (0,T))$ and $u_0\in L^1\left(\Omega \right)$. The main points under analysis are: (i) spectral instantaneous and complete blow-up related to the Harnack inequality in the case $\alpha =1$, $1+\gamma >0$; (ii) the nonexistence of solutions if $\alpha >1$, $1+\gamma >0$; (iii) a uniqueness result for weak solutions (in the distribution sense); (iv) further results on existence of weak solutions in the case...

The aim of this paper is to study the solvability of the problem [...] where Ω is a bounded smooth domain of RN, N > 2s, M ε {0, 1}, 0 < s < 1, γ > 0, λ > 0, p > 1 and f is a nonnegative function. We distinguish two cases: – For M = 0, we prove the existence of a solution for every γ > 0 and λ > 0. A1 – For M = 1, we consider f ≡ 1 and we find a threshold ʌ such that there exists a solution for every 0 < λ < ʌ ƒ, and there does not for λ > ʌ ƒ

We study a higher order parabolic partial differential equation that arises in the context of condensed matter physics. It is a fourth order semilinear equation which nonlinearity is the determinant of the Hessian matrix of the solution. We consider this model in a bounded domain of the real plane and study its stationary solutions both when the geometry of this domain is arbitrary and when it is the unit ball and the solution is radially symmetric. We also consider the initial-boundary value problem...
