Positive Liouville theorems and asymptotic behaviour for \(p\)-Laplacian type elliptic equations with a Fuchsian potential



Abstract: We study positive Liouville theorems and the asymptotic behavior of positive solutions of p-Laplacian type elliptic equations of the form Q'(u):= - pLaplace(u) + V |u|^{p-2} u = 0 in X, where X is a domain in R^d, d > 1, and 1<p<infty. We assume that the potential V has a Fuchsian type singularity at a point zeta, where either zeta=infty and X is a truncated C^2-cone, or zeta=0 and zeta is either an isolated point of a boundary of X or belongs to a C^2-portion of the boundary of X.


The authors study the uniqueness (up to a multiplicative constant) of certain positive solutions of the quasilinear elliptic equation \[ -\Delta _p(u) +V|u|^{p-2}u=0\quad\text{in }X, \] where \(\Delta _p:= \text{div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)\) is the \(p\)-Laplacian, \(1<p<\infty\), \(X\) is a domain in \(\mathbb R^d\), \(d\geq 2\) and \(V\in L_{\text{loc}}^\infty(X)\) is a potential with a Fuchsian type singularity at a fixed point \(\varsigma \), which belongs to the boundary of \(X\). They also study the asymptotic behavior of the quotients of two positive solutions near the singular point \(\varsigma \). Throughout the paper the authors assume that \[ \int_X(|\nabla u|^p+V|u|^p)\, dx\geq 0, \quad u\in C_0^\infty(X). \] Moreover, they suppose without loss of generality that the singular point \(\varsigma\) is either the origin \(\varsigma=0\), or \(\varsigma =\infty\). More precisely they consider the following two cases: {\parindent=6,5mm \begin{itemize}\item[(1)] \(X\) is a domain such that the singular point \(\varsigma =0\) is either an isolated component of the boundary \(\partial X\), or \(\varsigma =0\) belong to a \(C^2\)-portion of \(\partial X\). \item[(2)] \(X\) is a cone near infinity and \(\varsigma =\infty\). \end{itemize}} The structure of the paper is the following: In Section 2 the authors introduce the notion of a weak Fuchsian singularity and discuss some other notions and results needed throughout the paper. The proofs of the main results, which rely on comparison techniques, dilatation arguments and the regularity of singular points of limiting equations are discussed in Sections 3, 4, 5 and Appendix A. In Section 6 the authors extend the results to the case of nonisolated singularity. In Section 7 some examples, remarks and applications are given.
