On isolated singularities of Kirchhoff--type Laplacian problems

Abstract

In this paper, we study isolated singular positive solutions for the following Kirchhoff--type Laplacian problem: \begin{equation*} -\left(θ+\int_Ω |\nabla u| dx\right)Δu =u^p \quad{\rm in}\quad Ω\setminus \{0\},\qquad u=0\quad {\rm on}\quad \partial Ω, \end{equation*} where $p>1$, $θ\in \R$, $Ω$ is a bounded smooth domain containing the origin in $\R^N$ with $N\ge 2$. In the subcritical case: $1 0$. To estimate $M_θ(u)$, we make use of the rearrangement argument. Furthermore, we obtain a sequence of isolated singular solutions such that $M_θ(u)<0$, by analyzing relationship between the parameter $λ$ and the unique solution $u_λ$ of $$-Δu+λu^p=kδ_0\quad{\rm in}\quad B_1(0),\qquad u=0\quad {\rm on}\quad \partial B_1(0).$$ In the supercritical case: $N/(N-2)\le p<(N+2)/(N-2)$ with $N\ge3$, we obtain two isolated singular solutions $u_i$ with $i=1,2$ such that $M_θ(u_i)>0$ under some appropriate assumptions.
