Isolated singularities of positive solutions for Choquard equations in sublinear case (1610.09062v2)

Abstract: Our purpose of this paper is to study the isolated singularities of positive solutions to Choquard equation in the sublinear case $q \in (0,1)$ $$\displaystyle \ \ -\Delta u+ u =I_\alpha[u^p] u^q\;\; {\rm in}\; \mathbb{R}^N\setminus{0}, % [2mm] \phantom{ } \;\; \displaystyle \lim_{|x|\to+\infty}u(x)=0, $$ where $p >0, N \geq 3, \alpha \in (0,N)$ and $I_{\alpha}u^p = \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} \frac{u^p(y)}{|x-y|^{N-\alpha}}dy$ is the Riesz potential, which appears as a nonlocal term in the equation. We investigate the nonexistence and existence of isolated singular solutions of Choquard equation under different range of the pair of exponent $(p,q)$. Furthermore, we obtain qualitative properties for the minimal singular solutions of the equation.
