Existence of solutions to four-dimensional Kirchhoff problems with critical-concave nonlinearities

We deal with a Kirchhoff problem on a smooth bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^4$ with competing critical and concave terms. By using new approximation techniques and the Nehari manifold analysis, we derive several existence results, complementing earlier ones obtained in the critical-convex case. Compared to similar results in the literature, we provide explicit bounds of the range of the parameters leading to the existence of solutions.

Asymptotically linear fractional problems with mixed boundary conditions

We derive the existence of solutions for an asymptotically linear equation driven by the spectral fractional Laplacian operator with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. When the nonlinear term $f$ is odd and a suitable relation between the perturbation parameter, the limit of $f(\cdot,t)/t$ as $t\to 0$ and the eigenvalues occurs, we establish also a multiplicity result via the pseudo-index theory related to the genus.

Nonlocal critical problems with mixed boundary conditions and nearly resonant perturbations

We consider the following nonlocal critical problem with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, \begin{equation} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta)^su=\lambda u+|u|^{2_s^*-2}u &\text{in}\ \Omega,\\ \mkern+38.5mu u=0& \text{on}\ \Sigma_{\mathcal{D}},\\ \mkern+24mu \displaystyle \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}=0 &\text{on}\ \Sigma_{\mathcal{N}}, \end{array} \right. \end{equation} where $(-\Delta)^s$, $s\in (1/2,1)$, is the spectral fractional Laplacian operator, $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, $N>2s$, is a smooth bounded domain, $2_s^*=\frac{2N}{N-2s}$ denotes the critical fractional Sobolev exponent, $\lambda>0$ is a real parameter, $\nu$ is the outwards normal to $\partial\Omega$, $\Sigma_{\mathcal{D}}$, $\Sigma_{\mathcal{N}}$ are smooth $(N-1)$--dimensional submanifolds of $\partial\Omega$ such that $\Sigma_{\mathcal{D}}\cup\Sigma_{\mathcal{N}}=\partial\Omega$, $\Sigma_{\mathcal{D}}\cap\Sigma_{\mathcal{N}}=\emptyset$ and $\Sigma_{\mathcal{D}}\cap\overline{\Sigma}_{\mathcal{N}}=\Gamma$ is a smooth $(N-2)$--dimensional submanifold of $\partial\Omega$. By employing a $\nabla$-theorem we prove the existence of multiple solutions when the parameter $\lambda$ is in a left neighborhood of a given eigenvalue of $(-\Delta)^s$.

Positive solutions for a weighted critical problem with mixed boundary conditions

We analyze the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions to a nonlocal elliptic problem involving the spectral fractional Laplace operator endowed with homogeneous mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions and weighted critical nonlinearities. By means of variational methods and the Nehari manifold approach, we deduce the existence of multiple positive solutions under some assumptions on the behavior of the weight function around its maximum points. Such a behavior, formulated in terms of some rate growth, is explicitly determined and depends on the relation between the dimension, the order of the operator and the subcritical perturbation. In this way we extend and improve the results in "J.F. Liao, J. Liu, P. Zhang, C.L. Tang, Existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of elliptic equations involving critical Sobolev exponents, RACSAM 110 (2016) 483--501", dealing with the Dirichlet problem for the classical Laplace operator, to the nonlocal setting involving mixed boundary conditions.

Positive solutions for a Kirchhoff problem of Brezis-Nirenberg type in dimension four

We consider a Kirchhoff problem of Brezis-Nirenberg type in a smooth bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^4$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our approach, novel in this framework and based upon approximation arguments, allows us to cope with the interaction between the higher order Kirchhoff term and the critical nonlinearity, typical of the dimension four. We derive several existence results of positive solutions, complementing and improving earlier results in the literature. In particular, we provide explicit bounds of the parameters $b$ and $λ$ coupled, respectively, with the higher order Kirchhoff term and the subcritical nonlinearity, for which the existence of solutions occurs.

Subcritical nonlocal problems with mixed boundary conditions

In this paper, by variational and topological arguments based on linking and $\nabla$-theorems, we prove the existence of multiple solutions for the following nonlocal problem with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary data, $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{lcl} (-Δ)^su=λu+f(x,u) & &\text{in } Ω, \\[2pt] \mkern+39mu u=0& &\text{on } Σ_{\mathcal{D}}, \\[2pt] \mkern+26mu \displaystyle \frac{\partial u}{\partial ν}=0& &\text{on } Σ_{\mathcal{N}}, \end{array} \right. $$ where $(-Δ)^s$, $s\in (1/2,1)$, is the spectral fractional Laplacian operator, $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, $N>2s$, is a smooth bounded domain, $λ>0$ is a real parameter, $ν$ is the outward normal to $\partialΩ$, $Σ_{\mathcal{D}}$, $Σ_{\mathcal{N}}$ are smooth $(N-1)$-dimensional submanifolds of $\partialΩ$ such that $Σ_{\mathcal{D}}\cupΣ_{\mathcal{N}}=\partialΩ$, $Σ_{\mathcal{D}}\capΣ_{\mathcal{N}}=\emptyset$ and $Σ_{\mathcal{D}}\cap\overlineΣ_{\mathcal{N}}=Γ$ is a smooth $(N-2)$-dimensional submanifold of $\partialΩ$.

Existence results for some problems on Riemannian manifolds

By using variational techniques we provide new existence results for Yamabe-type equations with subcritical perturbations set on a compact $d$-dimensional ($d\geq 3$) Riemannian manifold without boundary. As a direct consequence of our main theorems, we prove the existence of at least one solution to the following singular Yamabe-type problem $$ \left\lbrace \begin{array}{ll} -Δ_g w + α(σ)w = μK(σ) w^\frac{d+2}{d-2} +λ\left( w^{r-1} + f(w)\right), \quad σ\in\mathcal{M} &\\ &\\ w\in H^2_α(\mathcal{M}), \quad w>0 \ \ \mbox{in} \ \ \mathcal{M} & \end{array} \right.$$ where, as usual, $Δ_g$ denotes the Laplace-Beltrami operator on $(\mathcal{M},g)$, $α, K:\mathcal{M}\to\mathbb{R}$ are positive (essentially) bounded functions, $r\in(0,1)$, and $f:[0,+\infty)\to[0,+\infty)$ is a subcritical continuous function. Restricting ourselves to the unit sphere ${\mathbb{S}}^d$ via the stereographic projection, we also solve some parametrized Emden-Fowler equations in the Euclidean case.

Multiple solutions of nonlinear equations involving the square root of the Laplacian

In this paper we examine the existence of multiple solutions of parametric fractional equations involving the square root of the Laplacian $A_{1/2}$ in a smooth bounded domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\geq 2$) and with Dirichlet zero-boundary conditions, i.e. \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} A_{1/2}u=λf(u) & \mbox{ in } Ω\\ u=0 & \mbox{ on } \partialΩ. \end{array}\right. \end{equation*} The existence of at least three $L^{\infty}$-bounded weak solutions is established for certain values of the parameter $λ$ requiring that the nonlinear term $f$ is continuous and with a suitable growth. Our approach is based on variational arguments and a variant of Caffarelli-Silvestre's extension method.

Existence Results for a critical fractional equation

We are concerned with existence results for a critical problem of Brezis-Nirenberg Type involving an integro-differential operator. Our study includes the fractional Laplacian. Our approach still applies when adding small singular terms. It hinges on appropriate choices of parameters in the mountain-pass theorem
