About Prashanth
A brief description of research work
My major interest has been in the area of semi(quasi)linear elliptic equations, especially those involving critical growth nonlinearities. I have used techniques in Calculus of variations, regularity theory and geometric measure theory in my works. Broadly, my work has fallen under the following topics:
- Nonexistence Theorems and Blow-up analysis of Palais-Smale sequences for critical nonlinearity in ℝ2
- Strong Comparison Principle for solutions of quasilinear equations
- Multiple solutions for p-Laplace equation in a ball
- Uniqueness of least energy solutions to the critical Neumann problem in ℝN
- Perturbed Scalar curvature problem on 𝕊2
- Multiplicity results for exponential nonlinearities with a concave perturbation and convex-concave/singular type nonlinearities
- Simplicity of the principal eigenvalues obtained as Rayleigh quotient minima
- Isolated singularity for exponential type problems in two dimensions
- Sobolev versus smooth minimisers
- Bifurcation analysis for elliptic equations with a singular type nonlinearitiy
- Critical/subcritical classification of non-negative Schrodinger operators with singular potentials.
