    On a singular Liouville-type equation and the Alexandrov isoperimetric inequality

    No full text
    We obtain a generalized version of an inequality, first derived by C. Bandle in the analytic setting, for weak subsolutions of a singular Liouville-type equation. As an application we obtain a new proof of the Alexandrov isoperimetric inequality on singular abstract surfaces. Interestingly enough, motivated by this geometric problem, we obtain a seemingly new characterization of local metrics on Alexandrov’s surfaces of bounded curvature. At least to our knowledge, the characterization of the equality case in the isoperimetric inequality in such a weak framework is new as well

    Low dimensional instability for semilinear and quasilinear problems in R^N

    Stability properties for solutions of Δm(u)=f(u)-\Delta_m(u)=f(u) in RN\mathbb{R}^N are investigated, where N2N\geq 2 and m2m \geq 2. The aim is to identify a critical dimension N#N^\# so that every non-constant solution is linearly unstable whenever 2N<N#2\leq N<N^\#. For positive, increasing and convex nonlinearities f(u)f(u), global bounds on ff(f)2\frac{f \, f''}{(f')^2} allows us to find a dimension N#N^\#, which is optimal for exponential and power nonlinearities. In the radial setting we can deal more generally with C1C^1-nonlinearities and the dimension N#N^\# we find is still optimal
