    In this paper, we investigate a general quasilinear elliptic and singular system. By monotonicity methods, we give some existence and uniqueness results. Next, we give some applications to biological models

    A study on gradient blow up for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear, uniformly elliptic equations

    Get PDF
    We investigate sharp conditions for boundary and interior gradient es- timates of continuous viscosity solutions to fully nonlinear, uniformly ellip- tic equations under Dirichlet boundary conditions. When these conditions are violated, there can be blow up of the gradient in the interior or on the boundary of the domain

    Positive solutions to superlinear second-order divergence type elliptic equations in cone-like domains

    Get PDF
    We study the problem of the existence and nonexistence of positive solutions to a superlinear second-order divergence type elliptic equation with measurable coefficients ()(*): au=up-\nabla\cdot a\cdot\nabla u=u^p in an unbounded cone--like domain GRNG\subset\bf R^N (N3)(N\ge 3). We prove that the critical exponent p(a,G)=inf{p>1:()has a positive supersolution inG}p^*(a,G)=\inf\{p>1 : (*) \hbox{has a positive supersolution in} G\} for a nontrivial cone-like domain is always in (1,N/(N2))(1,N/(N-2)) and in contrast with exterior domains depends both on the geometry of the domain GG and the coefficients aa of the equation.Comment: 20 page
