The classical Sturm-Hurwitz-Kellogg theorem asserts that a function, orthogonal to an n-dimensional Chebyshev system on a circle, has at least n+1 sign changes. We prove the converse: given an n-dimensional Chebyshev system on a circle and a function with at least n+1 sign changes, there exists an orientation preservin…

Let $(M,g)$ be a two dimensional compact Riemannian manifold of genus $g(M)>1$. Let $f$ be a smooth function on $M$ such that $f \ge 0, \quad f\not\equiv 0, \quad \min_M f = 0.$ Let $p_1,\ldots,p_n$ be any set of points at which $f(p_i)=0$ and $D^2f(p_i)$ is non-singular. We prove that for all sufficiently small $λ>…

This paper focuses on the problem of prescribing mean curvature on the unit ball. Assume that $f$, which is allowed to change sign, satisfies Morse index counting or certain kind of symmetry condition. By using a negative gradient flow method, we then prove that $f$ can be realized as the boundary mean curvature of som…

We derive a monotonicity formula and classify finite Morse index solutions (positive or sign-changing, radial or not) to the following triharmonic Lane-Emden equation: \begin{equation}\nonumber (-Δ)^3 u=|u|^{p-1}u \hbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^n, \end{equation} where $p$ is below the Joseph-Lundgren exponent. As a byproduct w…

In this paper, we consider the problem of prescribing scalar curvature on n-sphere. Assume that the candidate curvature function $f$, which is allowed to change sign, satisfies some kind of Morse index or symmetry condition. By studying the well-known scalar curvature flow, we are able to prove that the flow converges …

In this note, we study Liouville type theorem for conformal Gaussian curvature equation (also called the mean field equation) $-Δu=K(x)e^u, in R^2$ where $K(x)$ is a smooth function on $R^2$. When $K(x)=K(x_1)$ is a sign-changing smooth function in the real line $R$, we have a non-existence result for the finite to…

We consider Liouville-type and partial regularity results for the nonlinear fourth-order problem $$ Δ^2 u=|u|^{p-1}u\ \{in} \ \R^n,$$ where $p>1$ and $n\ge1$.
