A priori estimates and blow-up behavior for solutions of \(-Q_Nu = Ve^u\) in bounded domain in \(\mathbb R^N\) (Q295092)

This paper deals with the following \(N\)-anisotropic (or \(N\)-Finsler) Liouville equation: \[ - Q_N u = V(x) e^{u(x)}, \] in a bounded domain \(\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N\), \(N \geq 2\). Here, \(-Q_N u\) represents the \(N\)-anisotropic (or \(N\)-Finsler) Laplacian operator which defined as \[ - Q_N u := \sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} \frac{\partial}{\partial x_i} \left( F^{N-1} (\nabla u) \frac{\partial F}{\partial d\xi_i}(\nabla u) \right), \] where \(F \in \mathcal{C}^2(\mathbb R^N/\{0\}\) is a convex homogeneous function. The authors prove some proprieties of the \(N\)-anisotropic Laplacian operator; in particular, they obtain the weak maximal principle, the comparison principle, and the mean value property. Furthermore, using the level set method and the convex symmetrization technique, they obtain a priori estimates for the solutions. Finally, a blow up results for this equation and also of the singular points are established.
