Classification of positive singular solutions to a nonlinear biharmonic equation with critical exponent

Rupert L. Frank and Tobias König

Vol. 12 (2019), No. 4, 1101–1113
DOI: 10.2140/apde.2019.12.1101
Abstract

For n 5, we consider positive solutions u of the biharmonic equation

Δ2u = u(n+4)(n4) on n {0},

with a nonremovable singularity at the origin. We show that |x|(n4)2u is a periodic function of ln|x| and we classify all periodic functions obtained in this way. This result is relevant for the description of the asymptotic behavior of local solutions near singularities and for the Q-curvature problem in conformal geometry.
