Abstract. We consider quasilinear elliptic equations where the diffusion at each point depends on all the values of the solution in a neighborhood of this point. The size of this neighborhood is parameterized by some non negative number which represents the range of nonlocal interactions. For fixed values of the parameter, the issue of the existence and local uniqueness of the solution is addressed. In a radial symmetric setting, we give pointwise estimates of the solutions and prove the existence of multiple solutions. Regarding bifurcation theory, we show that many local branches of solutions may exist while, among them, only one is global and has no bifurcation point.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
