Solutions for biharmonic equations with steep potential wells

In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of least energy solutions for the following biharmonic equations: $$Δ^2 u+(λV(x)-δ)u=|u|^{p-2}u \quad in\quad \mathbb{R}^N$$ where $N\geq 5, 2 0$ is a parameter, $V(x)$ is a nonnegative potential function with nonempty zero sets $\mbox{int} V^{-1}(0)$, $0<δ<μ_0$ and $μ_0$ is the principle eigenvalue of $Δ^2$ in the zero sets $\mbox{int} V^{-1}(0)$ of $V(x)$. Here $\mbox{int} V^{-1}(0)$ denotes the interior part of the set $V^{-1}(0):=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^N: V(x)=0\}$. We prove that the above equation admits a least energy solution which is trapped near the zero sets $\mbox{int} V^{-1}(0)$ for $λ>0$ large.

Uniqueness of planar vortex patch in incompressible steady flow

We investigate a steady planar flow of an ideal fluid in a bounded simple connected domain and focus on the vortex patch problem with prescribed vorticity strength. There are two methods to deal with the existence of solutions for this problem: the vorticity method and the stream function method. A long standing open problem is whether these two entirely different methods result in the same solution. In this paper, we will give a positive answer to this problem by studying the local uniqueness of the solutions. Another result obtained in this paper is that if the domain is convex, then the vortex patch problem has a unique solution.

Existence and local uniqueness of bubbling solutions for poly-harmonic equations with critical growth

\begin{abstract} We consider the following poly-harmonic equations with critical exponents: \begin{equation}\label{P} (-Δ)^m u =K(y)u^{\frac{N+2m}{N-2m}},\;\;\; u>0\;\;\;\hbox{in} \mathbb{R}^N, \end{equation} where $N> 2m+2,m\in\mathbb{N}_{+}, K(y)$ is positive and periodic in its first $k$ variables $(y_1,\cdots, y_k)$, $1\leq k<\frac{N-2m}{2}$. Under some conditions on $K(y)$ near its critical point, we prove not only that problem~\eqref{P} admits solutions with infinitely many bubbles, but also that the bubbling solutions obtained in our existence result are locally unique. This local uniqueness result implies that some bubbling solutions preserve the symmetry of the scalar curvature $K(y).$
