Consider the nonlinear matrix equation X-sum_{i=1}^{m}A_{i}^{*}X^{-1}A_{i}=Q. This paper shows that there exists a unique positive definite solution to the equation without any restriction on A_{i}. Three perturbation bounds for the unique…
We study the solutions $u\in C^\infty(R^{2m})$ of the problem $(-\Delta)^m u= Qe^{2mu}$, where $Q=\pm (2m-1)!$, and $V :=\int_{R^{2m}}e^{2mu}dx <\infty$, particularly when $m>1$. This corresponds to finding conformal metrics…

In this paper we study the $\sigma_2$--Yamabe equation, $n>4$, for solutions with a prescribed singular set $\Lambda$ given by a disjoint union of closed submanifolds whose dimension is positive and strictly less than $(n-\sqrt{n}-2)/2$.…
We study analytical and computational aspects for Dirichlet problem on the unit ball $B$: $|x|<1$ in $R^n$, modeled on the equation \[ \Delta u +\lambda \left(u^p+u^q \right)=0, \;\; \mbox{in $B$}, \;\; u=0 \s \mbox{on $\partial B$}, \]…
We are interested in the qualitative properties of positive entire solutions $u \in C^4 (\mathbb{R}^n \backslash \{0\})$ of the equation \begin{equation} \label{0.0} \Delta^2 u=u^{\frac{n+4}{n-4}} \;\;\mbox{in $\mathbb{R}^n \backslash…
We study asymptotic behaviors of positive solutions to the Yamabe equation and the $\sigma$k-Yamabe equation near isolated singular points and establish expansions up to arbitrary orders. Such results generalize an earlier pioneering work…
We consider the following singularly perturbed Kirchhoff type equations $$-\varepsilon^2 M\left(\varepsilon^{2-N}\int_{\R^N}|\nabla u|^2 dx\right)\Delta u +V(x)u=|u|^{p-2}u~\hbox{in}~\R^N, u\in H^1(\R^N),N\geq 1,$$ where $M\in…
We consider an area-minimizing integral current $T$ of codimension higher than $1$ in a smooth Riemannian manifold $\Sigma$. In a previous paper we have subdivided the set of interior singular points with at least one flat tangent cone…
We are concerned with the half-space Dirichlet problem \[\begin{array}{ll} -\Delta v+v=|v|^{p-1}v & \textrm{in}\ \mathbb{R}^N_+, v=c\ \textrm{on}\ \partial\mathbb{R}^N_+, &\lim_{x_N\to \infty}v(x',x_N)=0\ \textrm{uniformly in}\…
In this note we establish a relation between two exactly-solvable problems on circle, namely singular Coulomb and singular oscillator systems.
In this article, we give nonexistence and nonuniqueness results for the vacuum Einstein conformal constraint equations in the far-from-CMC case and also show that in some cases the equations of the conformal method for positive Yamabe…
For n>1 and -1<p<1, we prove that if q is close to n and the qth Lp dual curvature is Holder close to be the constant one function, then this "near isotropic" qth Lp dual Minkowski problem on the (n-1)-dimensional sphere has a unique…
Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n. The k-curvature, for k=1,2,..n, is defined as the k-th elementary symmetric polynomial of the eigenvalues of the Schouten tenser. The k-Yamabe problem is to prove the existence of a…
It is conjectured that for any fixed relatively prime positive integers $a,b$ and $c$ all greater than 1 there is at most one solution to the equation $a^x+b^y=c^z$ in positive integers $x,y$ and $z$, except for specific cases. In this…
In this paper, we investigate the qualitative properties of positive solutions for the following two-coupled elliptic system in the punctured space: $$ \begin{cases} -\Delta u =\mu_1 u^{2q+1} + \beta u^q v^{q+1} \\ -\Delta v =\mu_2 v^{2q+1}…
