Nonlinear Schrodinger equations with symmetric multi-polar potentials

This paper deals with a class of nonlinear elliptic equations involving a critical power-nonlinearity as well as a potential featuring multiple inverse square singularities. When the poles form a symmetric structure, it is natural we wonder how the symmetry affects such mutual interaction. The present paper means to study this aspect from the point of view of the existence of solutions inheriting the same symmetry properties as the set of singularities.

Compactness and existence results for degenerate critical elliptic equations

This paper is devoted to the study of degenerate critical elliptic equations of Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type. By means of blow-up analysis techniques, we prove an a-priori estimate in a weighted space of continuous functions. From this compactness result, the existence of a solution to our problem is proved by exploiting the homotopy invariance of the Leray-Schauder degree.

Existence and multiplicity for perturbations of an equation involving Hardy inequality and critical Sobolev exponent in the whole R^N

In order to obtain solutions to problem $$ {{array}{c} -Δu=\dfrac{A+h(x)} {|x|^2}u+k(x)u^{2^*-1}, x\in {\mathbb R}^N, u>0 \hbox{in}{\mathbb R}^N, {and}u\in {\mathcal D}^{1,2}({\mathbb R}^N), {array}. $$ $h$ and $k$ must be chosen taking into account not only the size of some norm but the shape. Moreover, if $h(x)\equiv 0$, to reach multiplicity of solution, some hypotheses about the local behaviour of $k$ close to the points of maximum are needed.

A note on the existence of H-bubbles via perturbation methods

We study the problem of existence of surfaces in ${\bf R}^3$ parametrized on the sphere ${\mathbb S}^2$ with prescribed mean curvature $H$ in the perturbative case, i.e. for $H=H_0+εH_1$, where $H_0$ is a nonzero constant, $H_1$ is a $C^2$ function and $ε$ is a small perturbation parameter.

Perturbation results of critical elliptic equations of Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type

We find for small $ε$ positive solutions to the equation \[-\textrm{div} (|x|^{-2a}\nabla u)-\displaystyle{\fracλ{|x|^{2(1+a)}}} u= \Big(1+εk(x)\Big)\frac{u^{p-1}}{|x|^{bp}}\] in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$, which branch off from the manifold of minimizers in the class of radial functions of the corresponding Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type inequality. Moreover, our analysis highlights the symmetry-breaking phenomenon in these inequalities, namely the existence of non-radial minimizers.

On a geometric equation with critical nonlinearity on the boundary

A theorem of Escobar asserts that, on a positive three dimensional smooth compact Riemannian manifold with boundary which is not conformally equivalent to the standard three dimensional ball, a necessary and sufficient condition for a $C^2$ function $H$ to be the mean curvature of some conformal flat metric is that $H$ is positive somewhere. We show that, when the boundary is umbilic and the function $H$ is positive everywhere, all such metrics stay in a compact set with respect to the $C^2$ norm and the total degree of all solutions is equal to -1.

Existence of conformal metrics on $S^n$ with prescribed fourth order invariant

In this paper we prescribe a fourth order conformal invariant on the standard $n-$sphere, with $n\geq5$, and study the related fourth order elliptic equation. We first find some existence results in the perturbative case. After some blow up analysis we build a homotopy to pass from the perturbative case to the non-perturbative one under some flatness condition. Finally we state some existence results under the assumption of symmetry.

Compactness results in conformal deformations of Riemannian metrics on manifolds with boundaries

This paper is devoted to the study of a problem arising from a geometric context, namely the conformal deformation of a Riemannian metric to a scalar flat one having constant mean curvature on the boundary. By means of blow-up analysis techniques and the Positive Mass Theorem, we show that on locally conformally flat manifolds with umbilic boundary all metrics stay in a compact set with respect to the $C^2$-norm and the total Leray-Schauder degree of all solutions is equal to -1. Then we deduce from this compactness result the existence of at least one solution to our problem.
