Blowing up Solutions for a Biharmonic Equation with Critical Nonlinearity

In this paper we consider the following biharmonic equation with critical exponent $P_ε$ : $Δ^2 u= Ku^{(n+4)/(n-4)-ε}, u>0$ in $Ω$ and $u=Δu=0$ on $\partialΩ$, where $Ω$ is a domain in $R^n$, $n\geq 5$, $ε$ is a small positive parameter and $K$ is smooth positive function. We construct solutions of $P_ε$ which blow up and concentrate at strict local maximum of $K$ either at the boundary or in the interior of $Ω$. We also construct solutions of $P_ε$ concentrating at an interior strict local minimum of $K$. Finally, we prove a nonexistense result for the corresponding supercritical problem which is in sharp contrast with what happened for $P_ε$.

On a Yamabe Type Problem on Three Dimensional Thin Annulus

We consider a Yamabe type problem on a family $A_ε$ of annulus shaped domains of $\R^3$ which becomes "thin" as $ε$ goes to zero. We show that, for any given positive constant $C$, there exists $ε_0$ such that for any $ε< ε_0$, the problem has no solution $u_ε$ whose energy is less than $C$. Such a result extends to dimension three a result previously known in higher dimensions. Although the strategy to prove this result is the same as in higher dimensions, we need a more careful and delicate blow up analysis of asymptotic profiles of solutions $u_ε$ when $ε$ goes to zero.
