Abstract: The first two authors [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) {�f 114}(1):1--34, 2017] classified the behaviour near zero for all positive solutions of the perturbed elliptic equation with a critical Hardy--Sobolev growth ${\displaystyle }$-Delta u=|x|^{-s} u^{2^star(s)-1} -mu u^q hbox{ in }Bsetminus{0},${\displaystyle }$ where $B$ denotes the open unit ball centred at $0$ in $mathbb{R}^n$ for $ngeq3$, $sin(0,2)$, $2^{s}tar(s):=2(n-s)/(n-2)$, $mu>0$ and $q>1$. For $qin(1,2^{s}tar-1)$ with $2^{s}tar=2n/(n-2)$, it was shown in the op. cit. that the positive solutions with a non-removable singularity at $0$ could exhibit up to three different singular profiles, although their existence was left open. In the present paper, we settle this question for all three singular profiles in the maximal possible range. As an important novelty for $mu>0$, we prove that for every $qin(2^{s}tar(s)-1,2^{s}tar-1)$ there exist infinitely many positive solutions satisfying $|x{|}^{s/(q-2^{s}tar(s)+1)}u(x)om{u}^{-1/(q-2^{s}tar(s)+1)}$ as $|x|o0$, using a dynamical system approach. Moreover, we show that there exists a positive singular solution with $limin{f}_{|x|o0}|x{|}^{(n-2)/2}u(x)=0$ and $limsu{p}_{|x|o0}|x{|}^{(n-2)/2}u(x)in(0,infty)$ if (and only if) $qin(2^{s}tar-2,2^{s}tar-1)$.

Review text

The purpose of this paper is, for all singular profiles at zero, to prove the existence of positive solutions of the perturbed non-linear elliptic equation \[ -\Delta u=|x|^{-s}u^{2^*(s)-1}-\mu u^q,\quad x\in B(0, R)\backslash \{0\}, \tag{1} \] where \(B(0, R)\) denotes the open ball in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) (\(n\geq 3\)) centered at 0 with radius \(R > 0\), \(\mu\) is a positive parameter, \(q > 1\), \(s\in (0, 2)\), \(2^*(s)=\frac{2(n-s)}{n-2}\) and \(2^*=\frac{2n}{n-2}\). Using a dynamical system approach, the authors prove that for every \(q\in (2^*(s)-1, 2^*-1)\), (1) has infinitely many positive solutions satisfying \[\lim_{|x|\rightarrow 0}|x|^{\frac{s}{q-2^*(s)+1}}u(x)=\mu^{\frac{-1}{q-2^*(s)+1}}.\] Moreover, they show that (1) has a positive singular solution with \(\lim\inf_{|x|\rightarrow 0}|x|^{\frac{n-2}{2}}u(x)=0\) and \(\lim\sup_{|x|\rightarrow 0}|x|^{\frac{n-2}{2}}u(x)\in (0, \infty)\) if and only if \(q\in (2^*-2, 2^*-1)\).
