Qualitative properties of singular solutions to semilinear elliptic problems

Singular Solutions for some Semilinear Elliptic Equations

We are concerned with the behavior of u near x = O. There are two distinct cases: 1) When p >= N / ( N -2) and (N ~ 3) it has been shown by BR~ZIS & V~RON [9] that u must be smooth at 0 (See also BARAS & PIERRE [1] for a different proof). In other words, isolated singularities are removable. 2) When 1-< p < N / ( N 2) there are solutions of (1) with a singularity at x ---0. Moreover all singula...

Numerical verification of positiveness for solutions to semilinear elliptic problems

In this paper, we propose a numerical method for verifying the positiveness of solutions to semilinear elliptic boundary value problems. We provide a sufficient condition for a solution to an elliptic problem to be positive in the domain of the problem, which can be checked numerically without requiring a complicated computation. Although we focus on the homogeneous Dirichlet case in this paper...

Weakly and strongly singular solutions of semilinear fractional elliptic equations

If p ∈ (0, N N−2α ), α ∈ (0, 1), k > 0 and Ω ⊂ R is a bounded C domain containing 0 and δ0 is the Dirac measure at 0, we prove that the weak solution of (E)k (−∆) u + u = kδ0 in Ω which vanishes in Ω is a weak singular solution of (E)∞ (−∆) u + u = 0 in Ω \ {0} with the same outer data. Furthermore, we study the limit of weak solutions of (E)k when k → ∞. For p ∈ (0, 1+ 2α N ], the limit is inf...

Existence and Nonexistence of Positive Singular Solutions for Semilinear Elliptic Problems with Applications in Astrophysics

Existence and Nonexistence of Positive Solutions for Singular Semilinear Elliptic Boundary Value Problems

In this paper we study existence of positive solutions to singular elliptic boundary value problems involving divergence terms in general domains. By constructing suitable upper and lower solutions and making comparison, we obtain suucient conditions for existence and nonexistence of solutions. We also study a concrete example to show that the conditions imposed on parameters appearing in the s...
