Schrödinger equations with unique positive isolated singularities.
We prove the existence of positive and of nodal solutions for , , where and , for a class of open subsets of lying between two infinite cylinders.
We prove the existence of positive and of nodal solutions for -Δu = |u|p-2u + µ|u|q-2u, , where µ > 0 and 2 < q < p = 2N(N - 2) , for a class of open subsets Ω of lying between two infinite cylinders.
The blow-up of solutions to a quasilinear heat equation is studied using a similarity transformation that turns the equation into a nonlocal equation whose steady solutions are stable. This allows energy methods to be used, instead of the comparison principles used previously. Among the questions discussed are the time and location of blow-up of perturbations of the steady blow-up profile.
We prove existence of positive solutions for the equation on , arising in the prescribed scalar curvature problem. is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on , is the critical Sobolev exponent, and is a small parameter. The problem can be reduced to a finite dimensional study which is performed with Morse theory.
Some new oscillation criteria are obtained for second order elliptic differential equations with damping , x ∈ Ω, where Ω is an exterior domain in ℝⁿ. These criteria are different from most known ones in the sense that they are based on the information only on a sequence of subdomains of Ω ⊂ ℝⁿ, rather than on the whole exterior domain Ω. Our results are more natural in view of the Sturm Separation Theorem.
