英文摘要：

Let $M$ be a connected, noncompact, complete Riemannian manifold, consider the operator $L=\DD +\nn V$ for some $V\in C^2(M)$ with $\exp[V]$ integrable w.r.t. the Riemannian volume element. This paper studies the existence of the spectral gap of $L$. As a consequence of the main result, let $\rr$ be the distance function from a point $o$, then the spectral gap exists provided $\lim_{\rr\to\infty}\sup L\rr<0$ while the spectral gap does not exist if $o$ is a pole and $\lim_{\rr\to\infty}\inf L\rr\ge 0.$ Moreover, the elliptic operators on $\mathbb R^d$ are also studied.

Nonlinear elliptic fourth order equations existence and multiplicity results

This paper deals with the existence of solutions to a class of fourth order nonlinear elliptic equations. The technique used relies on critical points theory. The solutions appeared as critical points of a functional restricted to a suitable manifold.In the case of constant coefficients we obtain the existence of tree distinct solutions.

A priori estimates and existence for a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations in conformal geometry

In this paper we prove the interior gradient and second derivative estimates for a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations determined by symmetric functions of eigenvalues of the Ricci or Schouten tensors. As an application we prove the existence of solutions to the equations when the manifold is locally conformally flat or the Ricci curvature is positive.

Estimates and Existence Results for some Fully Nonlinear Elliptic Equations on Riemannian Manifolds

We prove estimates and existence results for some fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Riemannian manifolds. These equations are not arbitrary, but arise naturally in the study of conformal geometry.

Eigenvalue gap theorems for a class of non symmetric elliptic operators on convex domains

Adapting the method of Andrews-Clutterbuck we prove an eigenvalue gap theorem for a class of non symmetric second order linear elliptic operators on a convex domain in euclidean space. The class of operators includes the Bakry-Emery laplacian with potential and any operator with second order term the laplacian whose first order terms have coefficients with compact support in the open domain. The eigenvalue gap is bounded below by the gap of an associated Sturm-Liouville problem on a closed interval.

A general existence proof for non-linear elliptic equations in semi-Riemannian spaces

We present a general existence proof for a wide class of non-linear elliptic equations which can be applied to problems with barrier conditions without specifying any assumptions guaranteeing the uniqueness or local uniqueness of particular solutions. As an application we prove the existence of closed hypersurfaces with curvature prescribed in the tangent bundle of an ambient Riemannian manifold $N$ without supposing any sign condition on the sectional curvatures $K_N$. A curvature flow wouldn't work in this situation, neither the method of successive approximation.

Partial symmetry and existence of least energy solutions to some nonlinear elliptic equations on Riemannian models

We consider least energy solutions to the nonlinear equation $-Δ_g u=f(r,u)$ posed on a class of Riemannian models $(M,g)$ of dimension $n\ge 2$ which include the classical hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^n$ as well as manifolds with unbounded sectional geometry. Partial symmetry and existence of least energy solutions is proved for quite general nonlinearities $f(r,u)$, where $r$ denotes the geodesic distance from the pole of $M$.

Existence of Positive Solution of a Class of Semi-linear Sub-elliptic Equation in the Entire Space $H^n$

In this paper, we study the following problem $$ \{{ll} Δ_{H^n} u-u+u^p=0 & in H^n u>0& in H^n u(x)\to 0 &ρ(x)\to\infty}. $$ where $1<p < \frac{Q+2}{Q-2}$, Q is the homogeneous dimension of Heisenberg group $H^n$. Our main result is that this problem has at least one positive solution.

Existence and regularity of multivalued solutions to elliptic equations and systems

We extend the work of Simon and Wickramasekera, who constructed a large class of $C^{1,μ}$ multivalued solutions to the minimal surface equation, to produce $C^{1,μ}$ multivalued solutions to more general classes of elliptic equations and systems, including the minimal surface system with small boundary data and the Laplace equation. We use methods for differential equations, which are more general than the specific minimal submanifold approach adopted by Simon and Wickramasekera. We also prove the branch set of the graphs of the solutions constructed by Simon and Wickramasekera are real analy…

A classical Perron method for existence of smooth solutions to boundary value and obstacle problems for degenerate-elliptic operators via holomorphic maps

We prove existence of solutions to boundary value problems and obstacle problems for degenerate-elliptic, linear, second-order partial differential operators with partial Dirichlet boundary conditions using a new version of the Perron method. The elliptic operators considered have a degeneracy along a portion of the domain boundary which is similar to the degeneracy of a model linear operator identified by Daskalopoulos and Hamilton (1998) in their study of the porous medium equation or the degeneracy of the Heston operator (1993) in mathematical finance. Existence of a solution to the Dirichl…
