Classification Theorem For Positive Critical Points Of Sobolev Trace Inequality

Abstract

We consider the Euler-Lagrange equation of Sobolev trace inequality and prove several classification results. Exploiting the moving sphere method, it has been shown, when $p=2$, positive solutions of Euler-Lagrange equation of Sobolev trace inequality are classified. Since the moving sphere method strongly relies on the symmetries of the equation, in this paper we use asymptotic estimates and two important integral identities to classify positive solutions of Euler-Langrange equation of Sobolev trace inequality under finite energy when $1<p<n$.
