Abstract

We show that positive solutions of a semilinear elliptic problem in the Sobolev critical exponent with Newmann conditions, related to conformal deformation of metrics in , are asymptotically symmetric in a neighborhood of the origin. As a consequence, we prove for a related problem of conformal deformation of metrics in that if a solution satisfies a Kazdan‐Warner‐type identity, then the conformal metric can be realized as a smooth metric on .

Highlights

  • In recent years there has been a huge interest in studying properties of the positive singular solutions u of the scalar curvature equation

  • We observe that the interest for studying singular solutions of (1.1) comes from the study of asymptotic behavior of positive solutions of the following problem in Rn, n ≥ 3:

  • As a consequence of the characterization obtained in the last theorem, we are able to establish a result about the nonexistence of singular solutions for an elliptic problem with Dirichlet and Newmann conditions on the boundary (Theorem 1.2) and a result which is related to the asymptotic symmetry in a neighborhood of the origin (Theorem 1.3)

Summary

Introduction

Where k(x) is a smooth positive function and B1 is the unit ball of Rn, with n ≥ 3. For any solution of (1.1) in a neighborhood of the origin, where c is a positive constant They established in [4] that the asymptotic symmetry for solutions of (1.1) follows from (1.7). As a consequence of the characterization obtained in the last theorem, we are able to establish a result about the nonexistence of singular solutions for an elliptic problem with Dirichlet and Newmann conditions on the boundary (Theorem 1.2) and a result which is related to the asymptotic symmetry in a neighborhood of the origin (Theorem 1.3).
