− V u + Wup = 0 AND ITS PARABOLIC COUNTERPART IN NONCOMPACT MANIFOLDS

چکیده
We consider the equation ∆u − V (x)u + W (x)u = 0 and its parabolic counterpart in noncompact manifolds. Under some natural conditions on the positive functions V and W , which may only have ‘slow’ or no decay near infinity, we establish existence of positive solutions in both the critical and the subcritical case. This leads to the solutions, in the difficult positive curvature case, of many scalar curvature equation in noncompact manifolds. The result is new even in the Euclidean space. In the subcritical, parabolic case, we also prove the convergence of some global solutions to nontrivial stationary solutions.

A Parabolic Almost Monotonicity Formula
We prove the parabolic counterpart of the almost monotonicity formula of Caffarelli, Jerison and Kening for pairs of functions u±(x, s) in the strip S1 = Rn × (−1, 0] satisfying u± ≥ 0, (∆− ∂s)u± ≥ −1, u+ · u− = 0 in S1. We also establish a localized version of the formula as well as prove one of its variants. At the end of the paper we give an application to a free boundary problem related to ...
متن کاملOn the Equivalence of Viscosity Solutions and Weak Solutions for a Quasi-Linear Equation
We discuss and compare various notions of weak solution for the p-Laplace equation −div(|∇u|p−2∇u) = 0 and its parabolic counterpart ut − div(|∇u|p−2∇u) = 0. In addition to the usual Sobolev weak solutions based on integration by parts, we consider the p-superharmonic (or p-superparabolic) functions from nonlinear potential theory and the viscosity solutions based on generalized pointwise deriv...
متن کاملFive Types of Blow-up in a Semilinear Fourth-order Reaction-diffusion Equation: an Analytic-numerical Approach
Five types of blow-up patterns that can occur for the 4th-order semilinear parabolic equation of reaction-diffusion type ut = −∆2u+ |u|p−1u in R × (0, T ), p > 1, limt→T− supx∈RN |u(x, t)| = +∞, are discussed. For the semilinear heat equation ut = ∆u+ u , various blow-up patterns were under scrutiny since 1980s, while the case of higher-order diffusion was studied much less, regardless a wide r...
متن کاملThe Blow-up Problem for a Semilinear Parabolic Equation with a Potential
Let Ω be a bounded smooth domain in R . We consider the problem ut = ∆u + V (x)u in Ω × [0, T ), with Dirichlet boundary conditions u = 0 on ∂Ω × [0, T ) and initial datum u(x, 0) = Mu0(x) where M ≥ 0, u0 is positive and compatible with the boundary condition. We give estimates for the blow up time of solutions for large values of M . As a consequence of these estimates we find that, for M larg...
متن کاملOn Compact Holomorphically Pseudosymmetric Kählerian Manifolds
For compact Kählerian manifolds, the holomorphic pseudosymmetry reduces to the local symmetry if additionally the scalar curvature is constant and the structure function is non-negative. Similarly, the holomorphic Ricci-pseudosymmetry reduces to the Ricci-symmetry under these additional assumptions. We construct examples of non-compact essentially holomorphically pseudosymmetric Kählerian manif...
