Abstract

We study the quasilinear elliptic equation \begin{equation*} -Qu=e^u \ \ \text{in} \ \ \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{N} \end{equation*} where the operator QQ, known as Finsler-Laplacian (or anisotropic Laplacian), is defined by Qu:=i=1Nxi(F(u)Fξi(u)),Qu:=\sum_{i=1}^{N}\frac{\partial}{\partial x_{i}}(F(\nabla u)F_{\xi_{i}}(\nabla u)), where Fξi=FξiF_{\xi_{i}}=\frac{\partial F}{\partial\xi_{i}} and F:RN[0,+)F: \mathbb{R}^{N}\rightarrow[0,+\infty) is a convex function of C2(RN{0}) C^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{N}\setminus\{0\}), that satisfies certain assumptions. For bounded domain Ω\Omega and for a stable weak solution of the above equation, we prove that the Hausdorff dimension of singular set does not exceed N10N-10. For the entire space, we apply Moser iteration arguments, established by Dancer-Farina and Crandall-Rabinowitz in the context, to prove Liouville theorems for stable solutions and for finite Morse index solutions in dimensions N<10N<10 and 2<N<102<N<10, respectively. We also provide an explicit solution that is stable outside a compact set in N=2N=2. In addition, we provide similar Liouville theorems for the power-type nonlinearities.
