The Hénon equation beyond the critical Sobolev exponent
Abstract
We consider the Dirichlet problem −Δu=|x|αup, u>0 in Ω, u=0 on ∂Ω, where Ω⊂ RN, N≥ 3, is a bounded domain containing the origin and α>0. We prove that a solution exists for every exponent 1<p<pα=(N+2+2α)/(N−2), in particular in the whole Sobolev-supercritical range (N+2)/(N−2)≤ p<pα, provided Ω is invariant under O(N−1)× O(1) and satisfies an angular monotonicity condition. This class contains the balls, the oblate ellipsoids of revolution, lens-shaped domains, and non-convex, non-smooth and non star-shaped domains. The solution is obtained by minimizing the Rayleigh quotient on a suitable closed convex cone.

AB - We consider the Dirichlet problem −Δu=|x|^αu^p, u>0 in Ω, u=0 on ∂Ω, where Ω⊂ R^N, N≥ 3, is a bounded domain containing the origin and α>0. We prove that a solution exists for every exponent 1<p<p_α=(N+2+2α)/(N−2), in particular in the whole Sobolev-supercritical range (N+2)/(N−2)≤ p<p_α, provided Ω is invariant under O(N−1)× O(1) and satisfies an angular monotonicity condition. This class contains the balls, the oblate ellipsoids of revolution, lens-shaped domains, and non-convex, non-smooth and non star-shaped domains. The solution is obtained by minimizing the Rayleigh quotient on a suitable closed convex cone.
