We prove that the Dirichlet problem for the Lane-Emden equation in a half-space has no positive solutions which grow at most like the distance to the boundary to a power given by the natural scaling exponent of the equation; in other words,…

In this paper, we establish Liouville-type theorems for the steady compressible Navier-Stokes system. Assuming a smooth solution \(u \in L^p(\mathbb{R}^3)\), \(3 \le p \le \frac{9}{2}\), with bounded density, one obtains \(u \equiv0\). This…

The nonlinear selfdual variational principle established in a preceeding paper [8] -- though good enough to be readily applicable in many stationary nonlinear partial differential equations -- did not however cover the case of nonlinear…

The Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations in 2+1 dimensions in temporal gauge are locally well-posed for low regularity data even below energy level. The corresponding (3+1)-dimensional case was considered by Yuan. Fundamental for the proof is a…

In this paper, we will address to the following parabolic equation $$ u_t=\Delta_fu + F(u) $$ on a smooth metric measure space with Bakry-\'{E}mery curvature bounded from below. Here $F$ is a differentiable function defined in $\mathbb{R}$.…

We prove a weak comparison principle in narrow unbounded domains for solutions to $-\Delta_p u=f(u)$ in the case $2<p< 3$ and $f(\cdot)$ is a power-type nonlinearity, or in the case $p>2$ and $f(\cdot)$ is super-linear. We exploit it to…

Let $N\geq 2$ and $1 < p < (N+2)/(N-2)_{+}$. Consider the Lane-Emden equation $\Delta u + u^p = 0$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ and recall the classical Liouville type theorem: if $u$ is a non-negative classical solution of the Lane-Emden equation,…

We classify the solutions to the equation (- \Delta)^m u=(2m-1)!e^{2mu} on R^{2m} giving rise to a metric g=e^{2u}g_{R^{2m}} with finite total $Q$-curvature in terms of analytic and geometric properties. The analytic conditions involve the…
