Speaker: Sanjiban Santra, University of Sydney 3pm-4pm, Monday, 31 August 2009, Carslaw 454 Title: Asymptotic behavior of solutions of the Ren-Wei problem under Dirichlet boundary conditions Abstract: We discuss the blow up phenomena of bounded integrable solutions of a semilinear fourth order elliptic problem with a large exponent under Dirichlet boundary conditions. We extend the results obtained by Ren-Wei problem for the biharmonic case.
