A gradient type term for the $k$-Hessian equation

Analysis of PDEs 2024-04-01 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a gradient type term for the kk-Hessian equation that extends for k>1k>1 the classical quadratic gradient term associated with the Laplace equation. We prove that such as gradient term is invariant by the Kazdan-Kramer change of variables. As applications, we ensure the existence of solutions for a new class of kk-Hessian equation in the sublinear and superlinear cases for Sobolev type growth. The threshold for existence is obtained in some particular cases. In addition, for the Trudinger-Moser type growth regime, we also prove the existence of solutions under either subcritical or critical conditions.
