Biharmonic Nonlinear Scalar Field Equations

Abstract: We prove a Brezis-Kato-type regularity result for weak solutions to the biharmonic nonlinear equation Delta^2 u = g(x,u)qquad ext{in }mathbb{R}^N with a Carath'eodory function g:mathbbRNimesmathbbRomathbbR, Ngeq5. The regularity results give rise to the existence of ground state solutions provided that g has a general subcritical growth at infinity. We also conceive a new biharmonic logarithmic Sobolev inequality int_{mathbb{R}^N}|u|^2log |u|,dxleqfrac{N}{8}log Big(Cint_{mathbb{R}^N}|Delta u|^2,dx Big), quad ext{for } u in H^2(mathbb{R}^N), ; int_{mathbb{R}^N}u^2,dx = 1, for a constant and we characterize its minimizers.
