Existence of a positive ground state solution for a Kirchhoff type problem involving a critical exponent

Lan Zeng, Chun Lei Tang (2016)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We consider the following Kirchhoff type problem involving a critical nonlinearity: ⎧ $- [a + b (\int_{Ω} {| \nabla u | ² d x)}^{m} {] Δ u = f (x, u) + | u |}^{2 * - 2} u$ in Ω, ⎨ ⎩ u = 0 on ∂Ω, where $Ω \subset ℝ^{N}$ (N ≥ 3) is a smooth bounded domain with smooth boundary ∂Ω, a > 0, b ≥ 0, and 0 < m < 2/(N-2). Under appropriate assumptions on f, we show the existence of a positive ground state solution via the variational method.

Distortion bounds for $C^{2 + η}$ unimodal maps

Mike Todd (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We obtain estimates for derivative and cross-ratio distortion for $C^{2 + η}$ (any η > 0) unimodal maps with non-flat critical points. We do not require any “Schwarzian-like” condition. For two intervals J ⊂ T, the cross-ratio is defined as the value B(T,J): = (|T| |J|)/(|L| |R|) where L,R are the left and right connected components of T∖J respectively. For an interval map g such that $g_{T} : T \to ℝ$ is a diffeomorphism, we consider the cross-ratio distortion to be B(g,T,J): = B(g(T),g(J))/B(T,J). We prove...

Rigidity of critical circle mappings I

Edson de Faria, Welington de Melo (1999)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We prove that two $C^{3}$ critical circle maps with the same rotation number in a special set $𝔸$ are $C^{1 + α}$ conjugate for some $α > 0$ provided their successive renormalizations converge together at an exponential rate in the $C^{0}$ sense. The set $𝔸$ has full Lebesgue measure and contains all rotation numbers of bounded type. By contrast, we also give examples of $C^{\infty}$ critical circle maps with the same rotation number that are not $C^{1 + β}$ conjugate for any $β > 0$ . The class of rotation numbers for which such examples exist...

A classification of inverse limit spaces of tent maps with periodic critical points

Lois Kailhofer (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We work within the one-parameter family of symmetric tent maps, where the slope is the parameter. Given two such tent maps $f_{a}$ , $f_{b}$ with periodic critical points, we show that the inverse limit spaces $(_{a}, f_{a})$ and $(_{b}, g_{b})$ are not homeomorphic when a ≠ b. To obtain our result, we define topological substructures of a composant, called “wrapping points” and “gaps”, and identify properties of these substructures preserved under a homeomorphism.

Asymptotic properties of ground states of scalar field equations with a vanishing parameter

Vitaly Moroz, Cyrill B. Muratov (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We study the leading order behaviour of positive solutions of the equation $- Δ u + ϵ u - {| u |}^{p - 2} u + {| u |}^{q - 2} u = 0, x \in ℝ^{N}$ , where $N \geq 3$ , $q > p > 2$ and when $ϵ > 0$ is a small parameter. We give a complete characterization of all possible asymptotic regimes as a function of $p$ , $q$ and $N$ . The behavior of solutions depends sensitively on whether $p$ is less, equal or bigger than the critical Sobolev exponent $2^{*} = \frac{2 N}{N - 2}$ . For $p < 2^{*}$ the solution asymptotically coincides with the solution of the equation in which the last term is absent. For $p > 2^{*}$ the solution asymptotically...

Linking and the Morse complex

Michael Usher (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

For a Morse function $f$ on a compact oriented manifold $M$ , we show that $f$ has more critical points than the number required by the Morse inequalities if and only if there exists a certain class of link in $M$ whose components have nontrivial linking number, such that the minimal value of $f$ on one of the components is larger than its maximal value on the other. Indeed we characterize the precise number of critical points of $f$ in terms of the Betti numbers of $M$ and the behavior of $f$ with respect...

Bubbling along boundary geodesics near the second critical exponent

Manuel del Pino, Monica Musso, Frank Pacard (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

The role of the second critical exponent $p = (n + 1) / (n - 3)$ , the Sobolev critical exponent in one dimension less, is investigated for the classical Lane–Emden–Fowler problem $Δ u + u^{p} = 0$ , $u > 0$ under zero Dirichlet boundary conditions, in a domain $Ω$ in $ℝ^{n}$ with bounded, smooth boundary. Given $Γ$ , a geodesic of the boundary with negative inner normal curvature we find that for $p = (n + 1) / (n - 3 - ε)$ , there exists a solution $u_{ε}$ such that $| \nabla u_{ε} |^{2}$ converges weakly to a Dirac measure on $Γ$ as $ε \to 0^{+}$ , provided that $Γ$ is nondegenerate in the sense of second...

Convergence of minimax structures and continuation of critical points for singularly perturbed systems

Benedetta Noris, Hugo Tavares, Susanna Terracini, Gianmaria Verzini (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

In the recent literature, the phenomenon of phase separation for binary mixtures of Bose–Einstein condensates can be understood, from a mathematical point of view, as governed by the asymptotic limit of the stationary Gross–Pitaevskii system $- Δ u + u^{3} + β u v^{2} = λ u, - Δ v + v^{3} + β u^{2} v = μ v, u, v \in H_{0}^{1} (Ω), u, v > 0$ , as the interspecies scattering length $β$ goes to $+ \infty$ . For this system we consider the associated energy functionals $J_{β}, β \in (0, + \infty)$ , with $L^{2}$ -mass constraints, which limit $J_{\infty}$ (as $β \to + \infty$ ) is strongly irregular. For such functionals, we construct multiple critical points...

On asymptotic critical values and the Rabier Theorem

Zbigniew Jelonek (2004)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Let X ⊂ kⁿ be a smooth affine variety of dimension n-r and let $f = (f ₁, . . ., f_{m}) : X \to k^{m}$ be a polynomial dominant mapping. It is well-known that the mapping f is a locally trivial fibration outside a small closed set B(f). It can be proved (using a general Fibration Theorem of Rabier) that the set B(f) is contained in the set K(f) of generalized critical values of f. In this note we study the Rabier function. We give a few equivalent expressions for this function, in particular we compare this function with...

Semi-classical standing waves for nonlinear Schrödinger equations at structurally stable critical points of the potential

Jaeyoung Byeon, Kazunaga Tanaka (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We consider a singularly perturbed elliptic equation $ϵ^{2} Δ u - V (x) u + f (u) = 0, u (x) > 0$ on $ℝ^{N}$ , ${𝚕𝚒𝚖}_{|x| \to \infty} u (x) = 0$ , where $V (x) > 0$ for any $x \in ℝ^{N}$ . The singularly perturbed problem has corresponding limiting problems $Δ U - c U + f (U) = 0, U (x) > 0$ on $ℝ^{N}$ , ${𝚕𝚒𝚖}_{|x| \to \infty} U (x) = 0, c > 0$ . Berestycki-Lions found almost necessary and sufficient conditions on nonlinearity $f$ for existence of a solution of the limiting problem. There have been endeavors to construct solutions of the singularly perturbed problem concentrating around structurally stable critical points of potential $V$ under possibly general conditions...

Let $𝔻$ denote the unit disk ${z : | z | < 1}$ in the complex plane $ℂ$ . In this paper, we study a family of polynomials $P$ with only one zero lying outside $\bar{𝔻}$ .

On the nonlinear Neumann problem at resonance with critical Sobolev nonlinearity

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider the Neumann problem for the equation $- Δ u - λ u = {Q (x) | u |}^{2 * - 2} u$ , u ∈ H¹(Ω), where Q is a positive and continuous coefficient on Ω̅ and λ is a parameter between two consecutive eigenvalues $λ_{k - 1}$ and $λ_{k}$ . Applying a min-max principle based on topological linking we prove the existence of a solution.

Critical points of the Moser-Trudinger functional on a disk

Andrea Malchiodi, Luca Martinazzi (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

On the unit disk $B_{1} \subset ℝ^{2}$ we study the Moser-Trudinger functional $E (u) = \int_{B_{1}} (e^{u^{2}} - 1) d x, u \in H_{0}^{1} (B_{1})$ and its restrictions ${E |}_{M_{Λ}}$ , where $M_{Λ} : = {u \in H_{0}^{1} (B_{1}) {: ∥ u ∥}_{H_{0}^{1}}^{2} = Λ}$ for $Λ > 0$ . We prove that if a sequence $u_{k}$ of positive critical points of ${E |}_{M_{Λ_{k}}}$ (for some $Λ_{k} > 0$ ) blows up as $k \to \infty$ , then $Λ_{k} \to 4 π$ , and $u_{k} \to 0$ weakly in $H_{0}^{1} (B_{1})$ and strongly in $C_{loc}^{1} ({\bar{B}}_{1} ∖ {0})$ . Using this fact we also prove that when $Λ$ is large enough, then ${E |}_{M_{Λ}}$ has no positive critical point, complementing previous existence results by Carleson-Chang, M. Struwe and Lamm-Robert-Struwe.

Perturbed nonlinear degenerate problems in $ℝ^{N}$

Via critical point theory we establish the existence and regularity of solutions for the quasilinear elliptic problem ⎧ $d i v (x, \nabla u) + {a (x) | u |}^{p - 2} u = {g (x) | u |}^{p - 2} u + h (x) {| u |}^{s - 1} u$ in $ℝ^{N}$ ⎨ ⎩ u > 0, $l i m_{| x | \to \infty} u (x) = 0$ , where 1 < p < N; a(x) is assumed to satisfy a coercivity condition; h(x) and g(x) are not necessarily bounded but satisfy some integrability restrictions.

Arbitrary number of positive solutions for an elliptic problem with critical nonlinearity

Olivier Rey, Juncheng Wei (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We show that the critical nonlinear elliptic Neumann problem $Δ u - μ u + u^{7 / 3} = 0$ in $Ω$ , $u > 0$ in $Ω$ , $\frac{\partial u}{\partial ν} = 0$ on $\partial Ω$ , where $Ω$ is a bounded and smooth domain in $ℝ^{5}$ , has arbitrarily many solutions, provided that $μ > 0$ is small enough. More precisely, for any positive integer $K$ , there exists $μ_{K} > 0$ such that for $0 < μ < μ_{K}$ , the above problem has a nontrivial solution which blows up at $K$ interior points in $Ω$ , as $μ \to 0$ . The location of the blow-up points is related to the domain geometry. The solutions are obtained as critical points of some finite-dimensional...

Existence of renormalized solutions for parabolic equations without the sign condition and with three unbounded nonlinearities

Y. Akdim, J. Bennouna, M. Mekkour, H. Redwane (2012)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study the problem ∂b(x,u)/∂t - div(a(x,t,u,Du)) + H(x,t,u,Du) = μ in Q = Ω×(0,T), ${b (x, u) |}_{t = 0} = b (x, u ₀)$ in Ω, u = 0 in ∂Ω × (0,T). The main contribution of our work is to prove the existence of a renormalized solution without the sign condition or the coercivity condition on H(x,t,u,Du). The critical growth condition on H is only with respect to Du and not with respect to u. The datum μ is assumed to be in $L ¹ (Q) + L^{p^{'}} (0, T; W^{- 1, p^{'}} (Ω))$ and b(x,u₀) ∈ L¹(Ω).

Linear response for smooth deformations of generic nonuniformly hyperbolic unimodal maps

Viviane Baladi, Daniel Smania (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

We consider $C^{2}$ families $t \mapsto f_{t}$ of $C^{4}$ unimodal maps $f_{t}$ whose critical point is slowly recurrent, and we show that the unique absolutely continuous invariant measure $μ_{t}$ of $f_{t}$ depends differentiably on $t$ , as a distribution of order $1$ . The proof uses transfer operators on towers whose level boundaries are mollified via smooth cutoff functions, in order to avoid artificial discontinuities. We give a new representation of $μ_{t}$ for a Benedicks-Carleson map $f_{t}$ , in terms of a single smooth function and the...

In this note we prove some results in flat and differential $K$ -theory. The first one is a proof of the compatibility of the differential topological index and the flat topological index by a direct computation. The second one is the explicit isomorphisms between Bunke-Schick differential $K$ -theory and Freed-Lott differential $K$ -theory.

Multiplicity results for a family of semilinear elliptic problems under local superlinearity and sublinearity

Djairo Guedes de Figueiredo, Jean-Pierre Gossez, Pedro Ubilla (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We study the existence, nonexistence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the family of problems $- Δ u = f_{λ} (x, u)$ , $u \in H_{0}^{1} (Ω)$ , where $Ω$ is a bounded domain in $ℝ^{N}$ , $N \geq 3$ and $λ > 0$ is a parameter. The results include the well-known nonlinearities of the Ambrosetti–Brezis–Cerami type in a more general form, namely $λ a (x) u^{q} + b (x) u^{p}$ , where $0 \leq q < 1 < p \leq 2^{*} - 1$ . The coefficient $a (x)$ is assumed to be nonnegative but $b (x)$ is allowed to change sign, even in the critical case. The notions of local superlinearity and local sublinearity introduced in [9] are essential...

We report on results we recently obtained in Hebey and Thizy [11, 12] for critical stationary Kirchhoff systems in closed manifolds. Let $(M^{n}, g)$ be a closed $n$ -manifold, $n \geq 3$ . The critical Kirchhoff systems we consider are written as $(a + b \sum_{j = 1}^{p} \int_{M} {| \nabla u_{j} |}^{2} d v_{g}) Δ_{g} u_{i} + \sum_{j = 1}^{p} A_{i j} u_{j} = {|U|}^{2^{☆} - 2} u_{i}$ for all $i = 1, \dots, p$ , where $Δ_{g}$ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator, $A$ is a $C^{1}$ -map from $M$ into the space $M_{s}^{p} (ℝ)$ of symmetric $p \times p$ matrices with real entries, the $A_{i j}$ ’s are the components of $A$ , $U = (u_{1}, \dots, u_{p})$ , $| U | : M \to ℝ$ is the Euclidean norm of $U$ , $2^{☆} = \frac{2 n}{n - 2}$ is the critical Sobolev exponent, and...

On gradient at infinity of semialgebraic functions

Didier D&#039;Acunto, Vincent Grandjean (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let f: ℝⁿ → ℝ be a C² semialgebraic function and let c be an asymptotic critical value of f. We prove that there exists a smallest rational number $ϱ_{c} \leq 1$ such that |x|·|∇f| and ${| f (x) - c |}^{ϱ_{c}}$ are separated at infinity. If c is a regular value and $ϱ_{c} < 1$ , then f is a locally trivial fibration over c, and the trivialisation is realised by the flow of the gradient field of f.
