We construct the precise boundary trace of positive solutions of $\Delta u=u^q$ in a smooth bounded domain in $R^N$, for $q$ in the super-critical range $q\geq (N+1)/(N-1)$. The construction is performed in the framework of the fine…

It is known that there exists an explicit function $F$ in $L^2(\Omega)$, where $\Omega$ is a given bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^N$, such that the corresponding weak solution of the Laplace BVP $-\Delta u=F(x)$, $u\in H_0^1(\Omega)$,…

We consider the singular elliptic problem of the form \[ -\Delta u + V(x)u = \mathcal{B}(x)|u|^{2^*-2}u + \frac{\mathcal{A}(x)}{|u|^{2^*}u}, \qquad u\in H^1(M), \] where the coefficients are allowed to have low regularity. Under natural…

We establish the existence of a positive solution to the problem $$-\Delta u+V(x)u=f(u),\qquad u\in D^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^{N}),$$ for $N\geq3$, when the nonlinearity $f$ is subcritical at infinity and supercritical near the origin, and the…

We consider equations of the form $\Delta u +\lambda^2 V(x)e^{\,u}=\rho$ in various two dimensional settings. We assume that $V>0$ is a given function, $\lambda>0$ is a small parameter and $\rho=\mathcal O(1)$ or $\rho\to +\infty$ as…

We provide a sufficient condition for the existence of a positive solution to $-\Delta u+V(|x|) u=u^p$ in $B_1$, when p is large enough. Here $B_1$ is the unit ball of $R^n$, n greater or equal to 2, and we deal both with Neumann and…
