Abstract

In this paper we establish the boundedness of the extremal solution u^* in dimension N=4 of the semilinear elliptic equation Δu=λf(u)-\Delta u=\lambda f(u), in a general smooth bounded domain Omega of R^N, with Dirichlet data uΩ=0u|_{\partial \Omega}=0, where f is a C^1 positive, nondecreasing and convex function in [0,\infty) such that f(s)/sf(s)/s\rightarrow\infty as ss\rightarrow\infty. In addition, we prove that, for N>=5, the extremal solution uW2,NN2u^*\in W^{2,\frac{N}{N-2}}. This gives uLNN4u^\ast\in L^\frac{N}{N-4}, if N>=5 and uH01u^*\in H_0^1, if N=6.
