Abstract

Let ΩRn\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n be a C2C^2 bounded domain and χ>0\chi>0 be a constant. We will prove the existence of constants λNλNλ(1+χΩdx1w)2\lambda_N\ge\lambda_N^{\ast}\ge\lambda^{\ast}(1+\chi\int_{\Omega}\frac{dx}{1-w_{\ast}})^2 for the nonlocal MEMS equation Δv=\lam/(1v)2(1+χΩ1/(1v)dx)2-\Delta v=\lam/(1-v)^2(1+\chi\int_{\Omega}1/(1-v)dx)^2 in Ω\Omega, v=0v=0 on \1Ω\1\Omega, such that a solution exists for any 0λ<λN0\le\lambda<\lambda_N^{\ast} and no solution exists for any λ>λN\lambda>\lambda_N where λ\lambda^{\ast} is the pull-in voltage and ww_{\ast} is the limit of the minimal solution of Δv=\lam/(1v)2-\Delta v=\lam/(1-v)^2 in Ω\Omega with v=0v=0 on \1Ω\1\Omega as λλ\lambda\nearrow \lambda^{\ast}. We will prove the existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behaviour of the global solution of the corresponding parabolic nonlocal MEMS equation under various boundedness conditions on λ\lambda. We also obtain the quenching behaviour of the solution of the parabolic nonlocal MEMS equation when λ\lambda is large.
