A biharmonic equation with singular nonlinearity
Marius Ghergu · Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society · 2011
Abstract We study the biharmonic equation Δ2u=u−α, 0 < α < 1, in a smooth and bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝn,n≥ 2, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. Under some suitable assumptions on Ω related to the positivity of the Green function for the biharmonic operator, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution.
