in a punctured ball, B,(O) \ (0) c R“, n 2 3, with an isolated singularity at the origin. The model equation (1.1) arises in many physical contexts but its greatest interest in recent years lies in its relation to the Yamabe problem. From this geometric point of view, we think of u as defining the conformally flat metric El, = u4/(n-2)6i, . Equation (1.1) then says that the metric has constant scalar curvature. The recent work of Schoen and Yau [8],[9],[10] on conformally flat manifolds and the Yamabe problem has highlighted the importance of studying the distribution solutions of (1.1) and characterizing the singular set of u. A solution u of (1.1) with an isolated singularity is the simplest example of a singular distribution solution. This deceptively simple looking problem is analytically very difficult and requires the development of a new technique which we may call an asymptotic symmetry method. It is a “measure theoretic” variation of the Alexandrov reflection technique as developed by Gidas, Ni and Nirenberg [4], [5 ] . Loosely speaking, the heuristic idea of the asymptotic symmetry technique may be described as follows. After an inversion, the function u becomes defined in the complement of B,, is strictly positive on JB,, and in some sense “goes to zero” at infinity. If we could extend u to B, as a super solution of our problem,

Existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of semilinear elliptic system with nonlinear boundary conditions

This study concerns the existence and multiplicity of positive weak solutions for a class of semilinear elliptic systems with nonlinear boundary conditions. Our results is depending on the local minimization method on the Nehari manifold and some variational techniques. Also, by using Mountain Pass Lemma, we establish the existence of at least one solution with positive energy.

The Solvability of Concave-Convex Quasilinear Elliptic Systems Involving $p$-Laplacian and Critical Sobolev Exponent

In this work, we study the existence of non-trivial multiple solutions for a class of quasilinear elliptic systems equipped with concave-convex nonlinearities and critical growth terms in bounded domains. By using the variational method, especially Nehari manifold and Palais-Smale condition, we prove the existence and multiplicity results of positive solutions.

Asymptotic distribution of eigenvalues of the elliptic operator system

Since the theory of spectral properties of non-self-accession differential operators on Sobolev spaces is an important field in mathematics, therefore, different techniques are used to study them. In this paper, two types of non-self-accession differential operators on Sobolev spaces are considered and their spectral properties are investigated with two different and new techniques.
