| Research Abstract |
(1) Oscillation criteria for elliptic equations : Effective oscillation criteria are established for second-order quasilinear elliptic equations whose leading terms are degenerate Laplacians. Our method is based on comparison principles and asymptotic theory for quasilinear ordinary differential equations. For one-dimensional case, useful information about numbers of zeros of solutions is obtained via the generalized Prufer transformation.
(2) Liouville-type theorems and nonexistence of positive solutions of BVPs : Lioville-type theorems are established for quasilinear elliptic equations whose leading terms are degenerate Laplacians and (generalized) mean curvature operators. Our results can be regarded as a natural extension of classical Liouville theorem.
(3) Symmetry of positive solutions for elliptic problems : We prove by means of the moving plane method or moving sphere method that positive solutions of elliptic equations of certain types are radially symmetric. Useful information about self-similar solutions of parabolic problems can be derived from our results.
(4) Two-parameter eigenvalue problems : Two-parameter nonlinear Sturm-Liouville problems are considered. The existence of the variational eigenvalues is established. Asymptotic formulas of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are obtained.
(5) Asymptotic theory for solutions of elliptic systems : Semilinear elliptic systems are considered. We establish nonexistence criteria of positive solutions, Liouville-type theorems, and oscillation criteria.)
