Energy estimates for a class of semilinear elliptic equations on half Euclidean balls (Q2633981)

In this paper, the following problem \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta u=g(u)\quad & \text{in }B_3^+, \\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial x_n}=h(u) \quad & \text{on }\partial B_3^+\cap\partial\mathbb R_+^n\end{cases} \] is considered, where \(B_3^+\) is the upper half ball centered at the origin with radius \(3\), \(g\) is a continuous function on \((0,\infty)\), and \(h\) is locally Hölder continuous on \((0,\infty)\). The equation of this problem is a typical curvature equation when \(g(s)=s^{(n+2)/(n-2)}\) and \(h(s)=c s^{n/(n-2)}\). The energy estimates of positive solutions are established.
