Resumen de A sup+inf inequality near R=0

Wenxiong Chen, Congming Li

• Let O be a domain in R2, not necessarily bounded. Consider the semi-linear elliptic equation We prove that, for any compact subset K of O, there is a constant C, such that the inequality (1)holds for all solutions u.

  This type of inequality was first established by Brezis, Li, and Shafrir [H. Brezis, Y.Y. Li, I. Shafrir, A sup+inf inequality for some nonlinear elliptic equations involving exponential nonlinearities, J. Funct. Anal. 115 (1993) 344�358] under the assumption that R(x) is positive and bounded away from zero.

  It has become a useful tool in estimating the solutions of semi-linear elliptic equations either in Euclidean spaces or on Riemannian manifolds (see [H. Brezis, Y.Y. Li, I. Shafrir, A sup+inf inequality for some nonlinear elliptic equations involving exponential nonlinearities, J. Funct. Anal. 115 (1993) 344�358; C.-C. Chen, C.-S.
