    Multiple normalized solutions for Choquard equation involving the biharmonic operator and competing potentials in N

    This paper is concerned with the existence of multiple normalized solutions for a class of Choquard equation involving the biharmonic operator and competing potentials in N:

    {Δ2u+V(𝜀x)u=λu+G(𝜀x)(IμF(u))f(u)in N,N|u|2dx=c2,
    where Δ2 is the biharmonic operator, c,𝜀>0, μ(0,N), λ is an unknown parameter that appears as the Lagrange multiplier, the absorption potential V, reaction potential G and nonlinear term f are continuous functions and satisfy some assumptions. With the help of the minimization techniques and Lusternik–Schnirelmann category, we show that the number of normalized solutions is not less than the number of global minimum points of V when the parameter 𝜀 is sufficiently small. Furthermore, and more interestingly, we can prove the existence of multiple solutions for this problem by using the Morse theory. As far as we know, this study seems to be the first contribution regarding the concentration behavior for Choquard equation involving the biharmonic operator.

    GENERALIZED HARDY–RELLICH INEQUALITIES IN CRITICAL DIMENSION AND ITS APPLICATIONS

    In this paper, we study the Hardy–Rellich inequalities for polyharmonic operators in the critical dimension and an analogue in the p-biharmonic case. We also develop some optimal weighted Hardy–Sobolev inequalities in the general case and discuss the related eigenvalue problem. We also prove W2,q(Ω) estimates in the biharmonic case.

    Symmetry in the composite plate problem

    In this paper, we deal with the composite plate problem, namely the following optimization eigenvalue problem:

    infρPinfu𝒲\{0}Ω(Δu)2Ωρu2,
    where P is a class of admissible densities, 𝒲=H20(Ω) for Dirichlet boundary conditions and 𝒲=H2(Ω)H10(Ω) for Navier boundary conditions. The associated Euler–Lagrange equation is a fourth-order elliptic PDE governed by the biharmonic operator Δ2. In the spirit of [S. Chanillo, D. Grieser, M. Imai, K. Kurata and I. Ohnishi, Symmetry breaking and other phenomena in the optimization of eigenvalues for composite membranes, Comm. Math. Phys.214 (2000) 315–337], we study qualitative properties of the optimal pairs (u,ρ). In particular, we prove existence and regularity and we find the explicit expression of ρ. When Ω is a ball, we can also prove uniqueness of the optimal pair, as well as positivity of u and radial symmetry of both u and ρ.

    Remarks on a priori estimates for superlinear elliptic problems

    We make some remarks on the method of obtaining a priori estimates for the solutions of superlinear elliptic equations having prescribed Morse index. In particular, we show that sometimes these estimates can be obtained without performing blow-up procedures.
