Abstract:
This work is devoted to the analysis of the asymptotic behavior of positive solutions to some problems of variable exponent reaction-diffusion equations, when the boundary condition goes to infinity (large solutions). Specifically, we deal with the equations Δu = up(x), Δu = -m(x)u + a(x)up(x) where a(x) ≥ a0 > 0, p(x) ≥ 1 in Ω, and Δu = ep(x) where p(x) ≥ 0 in Ω. In the first two cases p is allowed to take the value 1 in a whole subdomain Ωc ⊂ Ω, while in the last case p can vanish in a whole subdomain Ωc ⊂ Ω. Special emphasis is put in the layer behavior of solutions on the interphase Γi: = ∂Ωc∩Ω. A similar study of the development of singularities in the solutions of several logistic equations is also performed. For example, we consider -Δu = λ m(x)u-a(x) up(x) in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, being a(x) and p(x) as in the first problem. Positive solutions are shown to exist only when the parameter λ lies in certain intervals: bifurcation from zero and from infinity arises when λ approaches the boundary of those intervals. Such bifurcations together with the associated limit profiles are analyzed in detail. For the study of the layer behavior of solutions the introduction of a suitable variant of the well-known maximum principle is crucial. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
