Positive solutions of higher order quasilinear elliptic equations.
In the paper the differential inequality where , , is studied. Sufficient conditions on the function are established, which guarantee nonexistence of an eventually positive solution. The generalized Riccati transformation is the main tool.
In this paper we perform a fine blow up analysis for a fourth order elliptic equation involving critical Sobolev exponent, related to the prescription of some conformal invariant on the standard sphere . We derive from this analysis some a priori estimates in dimension and . On these a priori estimates, combined with the perturbation result in the first part of the present work, allow us to obtain some existence result using a continuity method. On we prove the existence of at least one...
We study the problem of prescribing a fourth order conformal invariant on higher dimensional spheres. Particular attention is paid to the blow-up points, i.e. the critical points at infinity of the corresponding variational problem. Using topological tools and a careful analysis of the gradient flow lines in the neighborhood of such critical points at infinity, we prove some existence results.
In this paper I discuss two questions on -Laplacian type operators: I characterize sets that are removable for Hölder continuous solutions and then discuss the problem of existence and uniqueness of solutions to with zero boundary values; here is a Radon measure. The joining link between the problems is the use of equations involving measures.
