Uniqueness and multiplicity of positive radial solutions to the super-critical Brezis-Nirenberg problem in an annulus

The super-critical Brezis-Nirenberg problem in an annulus is considered. The new uniqueness result of positive radial solutions is established for the three-dimensional case. It is also proved that the problem has at least three positive radial solutions when the inner radius of the annulus is sufficiently small and the outer radius of the annulus is in a certain range. Moreover, for each positive integer $k$, the problem has at least $k$ positive radial solutions when the exponent of the equation is greater than the critical Sobolev exponent and is less than the Joseph-Lundgren exponent.

Uniqueness and multiple existence of positive radial solutions of the Brezis-Nirenberg Problem on annular domains in ${\Bbb S}^{3}$

The uniqueness and multiple existence of positive radial solutions to the Brezis-Nirenberg problem on a domain in the 3-dimensional unit sphere ${\mathbb S}^3$ \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{aligned} Δ_{{\mathbb S}^3}U -λU + U^p&=0,\, U>0 && \text{in $Ω_{θ_1,θ_2}$,}\\ U &= 0&&\text{on $\partial Ω_{θ_1,θ_2}$,} \end{aligned} \right. \end{equation*} for $-λ_{1}<λ\leq 1$ are shown, where $Δ_{{\mathbb S}^3}$ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator, $λ_{1}$ is the first eigenvalue of $-Δ_{{\mathbb S}^3}$ and $Ω_{θ_1,θ_2}$ is an annular domain in ${\mathbb S}^3$: whose great circle distance (geodesic distance) from $(0,0,0,1)$ is greater than $θ_1$ and less than $θ_2$. A solution is said to be radial if it depends only on this geodesic distance. It is proved that the number of positive radial solutions of the problem changes with respect to the exponent $p$ and parameter $λ$ when $θ_1=\varepsilon$, $θ_2=π-\varepsilon$ and $0<\varepsilon$ is sufficiently small.

Lyapunov-type inequalities for a Sturm-Liouville problem of the one-dimensional $p$-Laplacian

This article considers the eigenvalue problem for the Sturm-Liouville problem including $p$-Laplacian \begin{align*} \begin{cases} \left(\vert u'\vert^{p-2}u'\right)'+\left(λ+r(x)\right)\vert u\vert ^{p-2}u=0,\,\, x\in (0,π_{p}),\\ u(0)=u(π_{p})=0, \end{cases} \end{align*} where $1<p<\infty$, $π_{p}$ is the generalized $π$ given by $π_{p}=2π/\left(p\sin(π/p)\right)$, $r\in C[0,π_{p}]$ and $λ<p-1$. Sharp Lyapunov-type inequalities, which are necessary conditions for the existence of nontrivial solutions of the above problem are presented. Results are obtained through the analysis of variational problem related to a sharp Sobolev embedding and generalized trigonometric and hyperbolic functions.

The best constant of discrete Sobolev inequality on the C60 fullerene buckyball

The best constants of two kinds of discrete Sobolev inequalities on the C60 fullerene buckyball are obtained. All the eigenvalues of discrete Laplacian $A$ corresponding to the buckyball are found. They are roots of algebraic equation at most degree $4$ with integer coefficients. Green matrix $G(a)=(A+a I)^{-1}\ (0<a<\infty)$ and the pseudo Green matrix $G_*=A^{\dagger}$ are obtained by using computer software Mathematica. Diagonal values of $G_*$ and $G(a)$ are identical and they are equal to the best constants of discrete Sobolev inequalities.
