Trang 2The case ofγ = −1 is known as the minimal surface equation (Chaplygin’s gas):
Forγ = −∞, (1.1) becomes the Laplace equation
In general, a solution of (1.1) with a function σ of variables (x1, ,x n) is called harmonic function Such functions were studied in many works (see., e.g., [3,4] and liter-ature quoted therein)
In general, the latter inequalities are valid only on subsets ofΩγ ×Ωγ withc1 andc2
depending on these subsets The purpose of the present paper is to describe that dence

γ(ε) = {(ξ,η) ∈Ωγ ×Ωγ:I+
γ(| ξ |,| η |)≤ ε }.Also we will need the setsD γ = {(ξ,ξ) ∈Ωγ ×Ωγ },Q γ = {(ξ,η) ∈Ωγ ×Ωγ:ξσ( | ξ |)= ησ( | η |)}
The main result of our paper are the following theorems
Theorem 1.1 For every γ ∈ R ,
Trang 4whereθ(t) = tσ(t) and ε is an arbitrary parameter It is easy to verify that for γ =1, (2.1)can be rewritten in the following form:

γ −1σ2− γ(t) − γ + 1
γ −1σ(t) + ε =0. (2.2)For arbitraryε ∈(0, 1) we set
Observe thatr γ(ε) ∈Σγfor everyγ ∈ Rand everyε ∈(0, 1)
The following assertions hold
(1) Letγ ∈ R Then the domain ofσ is the set Σ γ Moreover,σ(0) =1,σ(+ ∞)=0forγ ≤1 andσ(2/(γ −1))=0 forγ > 1.
(2) For eachγ ∈ Rwe have
0< σ(t) ≤1 ∀ t ∈Σγ (2.4)(3) Letγ ∈ R Thenσ (0)=0 and
Trang 6Proof The proof of assertions (1)–(7) follows from the equalities
We prove assertion (9) Letx, y ∈Σγ,x2+y2> 0 If x = y, then
I −
γ(x, y) = σ(x) + xσ (x) < σ(x) = I+
γ(x, y) < 1. (2.16)Suppose thatx > y Since
Trang 7The following assertions hold.
γ(ε) is linearly connected for every γ ∈ Randε ∈(0, 1)
(13) For everyγ ∈ Randε ∈(0, 1), we have
(ξ,η) ∈Ωγ ×Ωγ:| ξ | ≤ s γ(ε), | η | ≤ s γ(ε)⊂ W −
Heres γ(ε) is a unique positive solution of (2.1)
(14) For everyγ ∈ Randε ∈(0, 1), we have
W −

Indeed, letζ ,ζ ∈ W γ −(ε) be arbitrary Let ᏸ ,ᏸbe the segments with the endpoints
0,ζ and 0,ζ , respectively Denote byᏸ ∪ᏸthe double curve which consists of twosegmentsᏸandᏸ Then this double curve will join the pointsζ ,ζ and it will lie on
ε ≤ I −
γ(x, y) = θ (x) = σ(x) + xσ (x) ≤ σ(x) = σ(y), (3.10)and consequentlyx, y ∈[0,r γ(ε)] Thus if I γ(x, y) ≥ , thenx, y ∈[0,r γ(ε)].
Further we will need the function
It is easy to see that for allx, y ∈[0,r γ(ε)], x = y,
I −
γ(x, y) = ε ⇐⇒ μ(x) = μ(y). (3.12)Define the monotonicity intervals ofμ Since
from assertion (8) of Section 2it follows that the function μ is strictly increasing on
[0,s γ(ε)] and strictly decreasing on [s γ(ε),r γ(ε)] Moreover,
Note that ifI −
γ(x, y) = ε and x = y, then x = y = s γ(ε) Consequently for each x ∈
[0,r γ(ε)] there is a unique number y ∈[0,r γ(ε)], satisfying (3.12) Therefore there existsthe functiong : [0,r γ(ε)] →[0,r γ(ε)] such that for all x, y ∈[0,r γ(ε)],
Trang 9as well as
g(0) = r γ(ε), gs γ(ε)= s γ(ε), gr γ(ε)=0. (3.17)Note that the functionI γ −(x, y) is infinitely differentiable at each point of [0,r γ(ε)] ×
[0,r γ(ε)] Fix arbitrary x0,y0∈[0,r γ(ε)], x0= y0, satisfying (3.15) We have
We prove that the segmentᏸ lies in W −
W −
γ(ε) contains ᏸ.
The proof of assertion (11) is analogous
Now we prove assertion (12) We fixγ ∈ R,ε ∈(0, 1), and a nonzero pointζ =(ξ,η) ∈
Trang 10Proof of assertions (13), (15), (17), and (19) Let
Therefore (ξ,η) ∈ W γ −(ε) The case | ξ | > | η |is analogous
The proof of assertion (15) is analogous Assertion (17) follows from assertion (13),
Proof of assertions (14) and (18) Let (ξ,η) ∈ W γ −(ε) Assume that | ξ | = | η | We have
σ| ξ |= σ| η |≥ ε (3.31)imply
Hence
(ξ,η) ∈(ξ,η) ∈Ωγ ×Ωγ:| ξ | ≤ r γ(ε), | η | ≤ r γ(ε). (3.33)Now we assume that| ξ | > | η | We have
(ξ,η) ∈(ξ,η) ∈Ωγ ×Ωγ:| ξ | ≤ r γ(ε), | η | ≤ r γ(ε). (3.35)
Trang 11The case| ξ | < | η |is analogous.
Proof of assertions (16) and (20) Let
(ξ,η) ∈(ξ,η) ∈Ωγ ×Ωγ:| ξ | ≤ r γ(ε), | η | ≤ r γ(ε). (3.36)Then
σ| ξ |≥ ε, σ| η |≥ ε. (3.37)Suppose| ξ | = | η | Then

| ξ |,| η |= σ| ξ |≥ ε. (3.38)Hence (ξ,η) ∈ W+
γ(ε) The case | ξ | < | η |is analogous
4 Proofs of main theorems
Introduce the sets H γ = {(ξ,η) ∈Ωγ ×Ωγ:| ξ | = | η |,ξ = η },G γ = {(ξ,η) ∈Ωγ ×Ωγ:
Trang 12We set
Υ(ϕ) = | ξ |2+| η |2−2| ξ || η |cosϕ, Φ(ϕ) = σ| ξ || ξ |2+σ| η || η |2−σ| ξ |+σ| η || ξ || η |cosϕ,
Trang 13From this, by (4.7), and assertions (1), (2) ofSection 3we obtain (1.12)
Proof of Theorem 1.2 (a) We fix γ ≤ −1 andε > 0 It is clear that inequality (4.2) holdsfor all (ξ,η) ∈ D γ
Let (ξ,η) ∈Ꮾγ(ε) ∩ H γ In this case inequality (4.2) becomes
σ| ξ |= σ| η |≤ ε. (4.13)Then
Trang 14Thus for all (ξ,η) ∈ G γ,
From this, by (4.15) and assertion (6) ofSection 3, we obtain (1.13) and (1.14)
(b) We fixγ > −1 andε > 0 It is clear that the inequality (4.2) holds for all (ξ,η) ∈ Q γ
2| ξ | σ( | ξ |)
| ξ |+| η | = I+
γ
| ξ |,| η |. (4.23)Thus inequality (4.2) assumes the form
Consider the remaining case (ξ,η) ∈ U −
γ Observe that the setU −
γ is not empty It iseasy to see that
σ| ξ |− σ| η || ξ |2σ2
| ξ |− | η |2σ2
| η |> 0. (4.27)Hence for all (ξ,η) ∈ U −

Trang 15which implies that
the functionx γ(ε) is defined everywhere on (0,1) Moreover, for every γ ∈ R,
Trang 16The functionx γ(ε) has the following properties.
for everyγ and ε, satisfying (5.8) or (5.9)
(5) (a) Ifγ ∈(−∞, 1], then the functionx γ(ε) ∈ C ∞(0, 1)
(b) Ifγ ∈(1, 2], then the functionx γ(ε) ∈ C ∞((0,ε$γ)∪(ε$γ, 1)) and it is continuous
Trang 17has at the least one solutiony0∈(0,
2/(γ −1)) Otherwise the equation does not haveany solution
Trang 18Fixε ∈(0,ε$γ] andx ∈Σγ Lety0∈Σγbe a solution of (5.23) We have
From thisx ∈ X γ(ε) Hence X γ(ε) =Σγfor allε ∈(0,ε$γ] This proves (5.6)
Now we prove (5.7) Fixε ∈(ε$γ, 1) Suppose that
Trang 19Lettingn → ∞in the inequality
Further we will need the following lemma
Lemma 5.1 If ( 5.8 ) or ( 5.9 ) holds, then x γ(ε) ∈Σγ and there exists a number y γ(ε) ∈Σγ
Assume that (5.8) holds The setZ γ(ε) is closed since the function I+
The right part of this inequality tends to zero asn → ∞ Thus we obtain a contradiction
to (5.8) For an unbounded subsequence of{ y n }we have
The right part of this inequality tends to zero asn → ∞ Again we obtain a contradiction
to (5.8) HenceZ γ(ε) is bounded Therefore Z γ(ε) is compact Because the mapping π is
continuous, the setX γ(ε) = π(Z γ(ε)) is compact too.
Assume that (5.9) holds By (5.7) it follows thatZ γ(ε) ⊂Σγ ×Σγ HereZ γ(ε) denotes
the closure ofZ γ(ε) Since the function I+
γ(x, y) is continuous, Z γ(ε) is compact Therefore
X γ(ε) is compact too.
Similarly we establish that the set
X γ(ε) =x ∈Σγ:∃ y ∈Σγ,I+
γ(x, y) = ε (5.38)
is compact for everyγ and satisfying (5.8) or (5.9)
We fixγ and satisfying (5.8) or (5.9) Prove that
maxx X γ(ε) =maxx X γ(ε). (5.39)
Trang 20We set
a =maxx X γ(ε), b =maxx X γ(ε). (5.40)Obviously,a ≥ b Show that a ≤ b Since a ∈ X γ(ε), there exists a number y0∈Σγ suchthat
Since the functionI+
γ(x, y) is continuous, there exists a number x > a such that
Then there exists a numberx ∈(a,2/(γ −1)) satisfying (5.45) Hencex ∈ X γ(ε)
There-forea < x ≤ b and we arrive at a contradiction.
Thus we establish that
x γ(ε) =max
Proof of properties (2)–(5) Fix γ and ε0satisfying (5.8) or (5.9) ByLemma 5.1the berx γ(ε0)∈Σγand there exists a numbery γ(ε0)∈Σγsuch that
Trang 21Observe that the functionF(x, y,ε) is C ∞-differentiable in some neighborhood U⊂ R3
of the pointp0=(x γ(ε0),y γ(ε0),ε0) andF(p0)=0 We have
By the well-known implicit function theorem, there exist a 3-dimensional intervalI =
I x × I y × I ε ⊂ U and a function f ∈ C ∞(I y × I ε) such that for all (x, y,ε) ∈ I x × I y × I ε,
F(x, y,ε) =0⇐⇒ x = f (y,ε). (5.52)Here
Trang 22By the implicit function theorem, the functions γ(ε) is C ∞-differentiable at the point ε0.Therefore there is an interval
By assertion (8) ofSection 2we conclude that the functionμ(t) is strictly increasing on
(0,s γ(ε)) and strictly decreasing on (s γ(ε),+ ∞)∩Σγ Moreover,μ(0) = μ(r γ(ε)) =0 and
by property (2),μ(x γ(ε)) = − μ(s γ(ε)) Then it is not hard to check that x = x γ(ε) Thus
x γ(ε) = fs γ(ε),ε ∀ ε ∈ I (5.67)Hence the functionx γ(ε) is C ∞-differentiable at the point ε0and
Letγ > 1 We show that
Trang 23Lety0∈Σγbe a solution of the equation
Trang 24holds with some constantm > 0 Note that x γ(ε) ∈[r γ(ε),(2/γ −1)) for everyε ∈(ε$γ, 1).
By assertion (8) of Section 2it follows that the function μ(t) is strictly decreasing on
Trang 25Using L’Hospital rule and property (3), we find
Therefore the functionx γ(ε) is not doubly differentiable at the point ε$γforγ ∈(2, 3] and
it has second continuous derivative at the pointε$γ forγ ∈(3, +∞) Thus property (5) is
Proof of property (6) By assertion (8) ofSection 2,
0< s γ(ε) < r γ(ε) (5.87)for everyε and γ satisfying (5.8) or (5.9) Lettingε →1−0 we obtain
lim
Trang 26Proof of property (7) Letting ε →0+ in the inequalityx γ(ε) ≥ r γ(ε), we obtain (5.7)
Proof of property (8) (a) Let γ < −1 By assertion (8) ofSection 2,
0< s γ(ε) < r γ(ε) ∀ ε ∈(0, 1). (5.93)From this
Trang 28Proof of property (9) Assume that γ > 1 Then
