We give blow-up analysis for a Brezis-Merles problem on the boundary. Also we give a proof of a compactness result with Lipschitz condition and weaker assumption on the regularity of the domain (smooth domain or $ C^{2,alpha} $ domain).
For a bounded open set $Omegasubsetmathbb R^3$ we consider the minimization problem $$ S(a+epsilon V) = inf_{0 otequiv uin H^1_0(Omega)} frac{int_Omega (| abla u|^2+ (a+epsilon V) |u|^2),dx}{(int_Omega u^6,dx)^{1/3}} $$ involving the critical Sobolev exponent. The function $a$ is assumed to be critical in the sense of Hebey and Vaugon. Under certain assumptions on $a$ and $V$ we compute the asymptotics of $S(a+epsilon V)-S$ as $epsilonto 0+$, where $S$ is the Sobolev constant. (Almost) minimizers concentrate at a point in the zero set of the Robin function corresponding to $a$ and we determine the location of the concentration point within that set. We also show that our assumptions are almost necessary to have $S(a+epsilon V)<S$ for all sufficiently small $epsilon>0$.
For dimensions $N geq 4$, we consider the Brezis-Nirenberg variational problem of finding [ S(epsilon V) := inf_{0 otequiv uin H^1_0(Omega)} frac{int_Omega | abla u|^2 , dx +epsilon int_Omega V, |u|^2 , dx}{left(int_Omega |u|^q , dx right)^{2/q}}, ] where $q=frac{2N}{N-2}$ is the critical Sobolev exponent and $Omega subset mathbb{R}^N$ is a bounded open set. We compute the asymptotics of $S(0) - S(epsilon V)$ to leading order as $epsilon to 0+$. We give a precise description of the blow-up profile of (almost) minimizing sequences and, in particular, we characterize the concentration points as being extrema of a quotient involving the Robin function. This complements the results from our recent paper in the case $N = 3$.
The present paper deals with a parametrized Kirchhoff type problem involving a critical nonlinearity in high dimension. Existence, non existence and multiplicity of solutions are obtained under the effect of a subcritical perturbation by combining variational properties with a careful analysis of the fiber maps of the energy functional associated to the problem. The particular case of a pure power perturbation is also addressed. Through the study of the Nehari manifolds we extend the general case to a wider range of the parameters.
The main purpose of this paper is to establish the existence, nonexistence and symmetry of nontrivial solutions to the higher order Brezis-Nirenberg problems associated with the GJMS operators $P_k$ on bounded domains in the hyperbolic space $mathbb{H}^n$ and as well as on the entire hyperbolic space $mathbb{H}^n$. Among other techniques, one of our main novelties is to use crucially the Helgason-Fourier analysis on hyperbolic spaces and the higher order Hardy-Sobolev-Mazya inequalities and careful study of delicate properties of Greens functions of $P_k-lambda$ on hyperbolic spaces which are of independent interests in dealing with such problems. Such Greens functions allow us to obtain the integral representations of solutions and thus to avoid using the maximum principle to establish the symmetry of solutions.
We consider the simplified Ericksen-Leslie model in three dimensional bounded Lipschitz domains. Applying a semilinear approach, we prove local and global well-posedness (assuming a smallness condition on the initial data) in critical spaces for initial data in $L^3_{sigma}$ for the fluid and $W^{1,3}$ for the director field. The analysis of such models, so far, has been restricted to domains with smooth boundaries.
