Existence and uniqueness results for polyharmonic equations

From MaRDI portal





Let \(\Omega\) denote a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) \((n\geq 1)\) of class \(C^{2m,\alpha}\). We consider the semilinear elliptic problem \[ (-1)^m \Delta^mu= f(x,u)\text{ in }\Omega,\quad u={\partial u\over\partial v}=\cdots= {\partial^{m-1} u\over\partial \nu^{m-1}}=0 \text{ on }\partial \Omega, \] where \(\partial/\partial\nu\) is the outward normal derivative, \(m\) is a positive integer, \(\alpha\in (0,1]\) and \(f:\overline \Omega\times\mathbb{R} \to\mathbb{R}\). We study the question of existence and uniqueness of solutions of this problem under some assumptions on \(f\). We treat the case where \(f\) is sublinear at 0 and \(\infty\). We consider the following particular domains: the annulus \(\Omega (a,b)= \{x\in\mathbb{R}^n; a<| x|<b\}\), \(0<a<b<\infty\}\), \(n\geq 2\), the unit ball \(B=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n; | x|<1\}\), \(n\geq 1\) or a bounded domain of class \(C^{2m,\alpha}\) close to a ball.
