Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^N$ ($N\geq 3$) be a $C^2$ bounded domain and $\Sigma \subset \partial \Omega$ be a $C^2$ compact submanifold without boundary, of dimension $k$, $0\leq k \leq N-1$. We assume that $\Sigma = \{0\}$ if $k = 0$ and $\Sigma =\partial \Omega$ if $k=N-1$. Let $d_{\Sigma }(x)=\mathrm {dist}\,(x,\Sigma )$ and $L_\mu = \Delta + \mu \,d_{\Sigma }^{-2}$, where $\mu \in {\mathbb {R}}$. We study boundary value problems ($P_\pm$) $-{L_\mu} u \pm |u|^{p-1}u = 0$ in $\Omega$ and $\mathrm {tr}_{\mu,\Sigma}(u)=\nu$ on $\partial \Omega$, where $p>1$, $\nu$ is a given measure on $\partial \Omega$ and $\mathrm {tr}_{\mu,\Sigma}(u)$ denotes the boundary trace of $u$ associated to $L_\mu$. Different critical exponents for the existence of a solution to ($P_\pm$) appear according to concentration of $\nu$. The solvability for problem ($P_+$) was proved in [3, 29] in subcritical ranges for $p$, namely for $p$ smaller than one of the critical exponents. In this paper, assuming the positivity of the first eigenvalue of $-L_\mu$, we provide conditions on $\nu$ expressed in terms of capacities for the existence of a (unique) solution to ($P_+$) in supercritical ranges for $p$, i.e. for $p$ equal or bigger than one of the critical exponents. We also establish various equivalent criteria for the existence of a solution to ($P_-$) under a smallness assumption on $\nu$.

We derive three critical exponents for Bernoulli site percolation on the uniform infinite planar triangulation (UIPT). First, we compute explicitly the probability that the root cluster is infinite. As a consequence, we show that the off-critical exponent for site percolation on the UIPT is $\beta = 1/2$. Then we establish an integral formula for the generating function of the number of vertices in the root cluster. We use this formula to prove that, at criticality, the probability that the root cluster has at least n vertices decays like $n^{-1/7}$. Finally, we also derive an expression for the law of the perimeter of the root cluster and use it to establish that, at criticality, the probability that the perimeter of the root cluster is equal to n decays like $n^{-4/3}$. Among these three exponents, only the last one was previously known. Our main tools are the so-called gasket decomposition of percolation clusters, generic properties of random Boltzmann maps, and analytic combinatorics.

In this paper we study the multiplicity of non-trivial solutions to a class of nonlinear boundary-value problems of Kirchhoff type. We prove existence results when the problem has nonlinearities with subcritical and with critical Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg exponent.

Let n ≥ 2 and let be a Lipschitz wedge-like domain. We construct positive weak solutions of the problem

that vanish in a suitable trace sense on ∂Ω, but which are singular at a prescribed ‘edge’ of Ω if p is equal to or slightly above a certain exponent p0 > 1 that depends on Ω. Moreover, for the case in which Ω is unbounded, the solutions have fast decay at infinity.

We study non-autonomous parabolic equations with critical exponents in a scale of Banach spaces Eσ, σ ∈ [0,1 + μ). We consider a suitable E1+ε-solution and describe continuation properties of the solution. This concerns both a situation when the solution can be continued as an E1+ε-solution and a situation when the E1+ε-norm of the solution blows up, in which case a piecewise E1+ε-solution is constructed.

The singularity of specific heat CV of the three-dimensional Ising model is studied based on Monte Carlo data for lattice sizes L≤1536. Fits of two data sets, one corresponding to certain value of the Binder cumulant and the other — to the maximum of CV, provide consistent values of C0 in the ansatz CV(L)=C0+ALα/ν at large L, if α/ν=0.196(6). However, a direct estimation from our data suggests that α/ν, most probably, has a smaller value (e.g., α/ν= 0.113(30)). Thus, the conventional power-law scaling ansatz can be questioned because of this inconsistency. We have found that the data are well described by certain logarithmic ansatz.

We investigate the critical properties of the Ising S = 1/2 and S = 1 model on (3,4,6,4) and (34,6) Archimedean lattices. The system is studied through the extensive Monte Carlo simulations. We calculate the critical temperature as well as the critical point exponents γ/ν, β/ν, and ν basing on finite size scaling analysis. The calculated values of the critical temperature for S = 1 are kBTC/J=1.590(3), and kBTC/J=2.100(4) for (3,4,6,4) and (34,6) Archimedean lattices, respectively. The critical exponents β/ν, γ/ν, and 1/ν, for S=1 are β/ν=0.180(20), γ/ν=1.46(8), and 1/ν=0.83(5), for (3,4,6,4) and 0.103(8), 1.44(8), and 0.94(5), for (34,6) Archimedean lattices. Obtained results differ from the Ising S = 1/2 model on (3,4,6,4), (34,6) and square lattice. The evaluated effective dimensionality of the system for S = 1 are Deff=1.82(4), for (3,4,6,4), and Deff = 1.64(5) for (34,6).

This paper is mainly concerned with the critical extinction and blow-up exponents for the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary-value problem of the fast diffusive polytropic filtration equation with reaction sources.

This paper deals with a reaction–diffusion model with inner absorptions and coupled nonlinear boundary conditions of exponential type. The critical exponents are described via a pair of parameters that satisfy a certain matrix equation containing all the six nonlinear exponents of the system. Whether the solutions blow up or not is determined by the signs of the two parameters. A more precise analysis, depending on the geometry of $\varOmega$ and the absorption coefficients, is proposed for the critical sign of the parameters.

For an independent percolation model on , where is a homogeneous tree and is a one-dimensional lattice, it is shown, by verifying that the triangle condition is satisfied, that the percolation probability θ (p) is a continuous function of p at the critical point pc, and the critical exponents , γ, δ, and Δ exist and take their mean-field values. Some analogous results for Markov fields on are also obtained.

It is known [8] that a certain class of bond-decorated graphs exhibits multiple AB percolation phase transitions. Sufficient conditions are given under which the corresponding AB percolation critical probabilities may be identified as points of intersection of the graph of a certain polynomial with the boundary of the percolative region of an associated two-parameter bond-site percolation model on the underlying undecorated graph. The main result of the article is used to prove that the graphs in [8] exhibit multiple AB percolation critical probabilities. The possibility of identifying AB percolation critical exponents with corresponding limits for the bond-site model is discussed.
