Radial Solutions To A Dirichlet Problem Involving Critical Exponents When N=6, Alfonso Castro, Alexandra Kurepa

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

In this paper we show that, for each λ>0, the set of radially symmetric solutions to the boundary value problem

-Δu(x) = λu(x) + u(x)|u(x)|, x ε B := {x ε R6:|x|<1},

u(x) = 0, x ε ∂B

is bounded. Moreover, we establish geometric properties of the branches of solutions bifurcating from zero and from infinity.
