The Dirichlet problem with prescribed interior singularities

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We solve the nonlinear Dirichlet problem (uniquely) for functions with prescribed asymptotic singularities at a finite number of points, and with arbitrary continuous boundary data, on a domain in euclidean space. The main results apply, in particular, to subequations with a Riesz characteristic pgeq2. In this case it is shown that, without requiring uniform ellipticity, the Dirichlet problem can be solved uniquely for arbitrary continuous boundary data with singularities asymptotic to the Riesz kernel: ThetajKp(xxj), where Kp(x)=1over|x|p2 for p>2 and K2(x)=log|x|, at any prescribed finite set of points x1,...,xk in the domain and any finite set of positive real numbers Theta1,...,Thetak. This sharpens a previous result of the authors concerning the discreteness of high-density sets of subsolutions. Uniqueness and existence results are also established for finite-type singularities such as Thetaj|xxj|2p for 1leqp<2. The main results apply similarly with prescribed singularities asymptotic to the fundamental solutions of Armstrong-Sirakov-Smart (in the uniformly elliptic case).
