Abstract

Let Ω be an open subset of n with n3 such that 0Ω. For s(0,2) and q>1 fixed, we consider a positive function uC(Ω\{0}) such that

-Δu=u2(s)-1|x|s-uqin Ω\{0},(1)

where 2(s):=2(n-s)n-2 is critical from the viewpoint of the Hardy–Sobolev embeddings. In this talk, I will present recent results on the classification of the behaviour near zero for the positive solutions of (1). This is joint work with Frédéric Robert (University of Lorraine – Nancy).
