Review text

The authors survey their recent joint work concerning properties for a broad class of second-order quasilinear elliptic differential operators from \(W^{2,p}(\mathbb{R}^N)\) into \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^N)\) when the real exponent \(p>N\). The abstract part consists in giving criteria under which the topological degree theory of Fitzpatrick, Pejsachowicz and Rabier can be applied to the corresponding \(C^1\)--Fredholm maps. The presentation is also rich of many concrete examples as global bifurcation of ground states of related elliptic equations in \(\mathbb{R}^N\). This approach is also fruitful in deriving new properties for the Schrődinger operator \(-\Delta +V\) with possibly singular potentials. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0934.00032].
