On the existence and blow-up of solutions for a mean field equation with variable intensities (Q333000): Difference between revisions

Summary: We study an elliptic problem with exponential nonlinearities describing the statistical mechanics equilibrium of point vortices with variable intensities. For suitable values of the physical parameters we exclude the existence of blow-up points on the boundary, we prove a mass quantization property and we apply our analysis to the construction of minimax solutions.
