This paper is concerned with semilinear equations in divergence form \[ \diver(A(x)Du) = f(u) \] where $f :\R \to [0,\infty)$ is nondecreasing. We prove a sharp Harnack type inequality for nonnegative solutions which is closely connected to…

We study the semilinear elliptic system \[ \Delta u = p(|x|)\,g(v), \qquad \Delta v = q(|x|)\,f(u), \qquad x \in \mathbb{R}^n,\; n \geq 3, \] under new Keller--Osserman-type integral conditions on the nonlinearities $f,g$ and decay…

We study regularity properties for solutions to the nakedly degenerate elliptic equation $a_{ij}\partial_{ij}u =0$, where the coefficients satisfy $I \ge a_{ij}(x) \ge \lambda(x) I$ and the only assumption is that $\lambda^{-1} \in L^p$. We…

We consider equations of the form $-L_\mu u +f(u)=0$ in a smooth domain $\Omega$, where $L_\mu=\Delta + \mu\delta^{-2}$ and $\delta(x)$ denotes the distance of the point $x$ to the boundary of the domain. The nonlinear term $f$ is positive,…
