Abstract

In this talk, we consider anisotropic elliptic operators such as

Lλ,Hu := -(H(u)(H)(u))- λ H(x)2u,in {x N: 0 < H(x) < 1},

where H and H are polar Finsler norms on N (N 3) and - < λ (N - 2)24. When H(x) = |x|, where |x| denotes the euclidian norm on N, operator Lλ,Hu becomes the classical Hardy-Sobolev operator-Δu - λ |x|2u. We completely classify the behavior near the origin for all positive weak solutions of Lλ,Hu = 0 in {x N: 0 < H(x) < 1}. We establish that either uΦλ+ γ+ (0,) or uΦλ- γ- (0,), as |x| 0, where Φλ± denote the fundamental solutions of Lλ,Hu = 0. This is a joint work with F. Cīrstea.
