Positive solutions to nonlinear p-Laplace equations with Hardy potential in exterior domains

We study the existence and nonexistence of positive (super) solutions to the nonlinear $p$-Laplace equation $$-Δ_p u-\fracμ{|x|^p}u^{p-1}=\frac{C}{|x|^σ}u^q$$ in exterior domains of ${\R}^N$ ($N\ge 2$). Here $p\in(1,+\infty)$ and $μ\le C_H$, where $C_H$ is the critical Hardy constant. We provide a sharp characterization of the set of $(q,σ)\in\R^2$ such that the equation has no positive (super) solutions. The proofs are based on the explicit construction of appropriate barriers and involve the analysis of asymptotic behavior of super-harmonic functions associated to the $p$-Laplace operator with Hardy-type potentials, comparison principles and an improved version of Hardy's inequality in exterior domains. In the context of the $p$-Laplacian we establish the existence and asymptotic behavior of the harmonic functions by means of the generalized Prüfer-Transformation.

Positive solutions to singular semilinear elliptic equations with critical potential on cone-like domains

We study the existence and nonexistence of positive (super-)solutions to a singular semilinear elliptic equation $$-\nabla\cdot(|x|^A\nabla u)-B|x|^{A-2}u=C|x|^{A-σ}u^p$$ in cone--like domains of $\R^N$ ($N\ge 2$), for the full range of parameters $A,B,σ,p\in\R$ and $C>0$. We provide a complete characterization of the set of $(p,σ)\in\R^2$ such that the equation has no positive (super-)solutions, depending on the values of $A,B$ and the principle Dirichlet eigenvalue of the cross--section of the cone. The proofs are based on the explicit construction of appropriate barriers and involve the analysis of asymptotic behavior of super-harmonic functions associated to the Laplace operator with critical potentials, Phragmen--Lindelöf type comparison arguments and an improved version of Hardy's inequality in cone--like domains.
