The Grushin Laplacian −Δα is a degenerate elliptic operator in Rh+k that degenerates on {0}×Rk. We consider weak solutions of −Δαu=Vu in an open bounded connected domain Ω with V∈W1,σ(Ω) and σ>Q/2, where Q=h+(1+α)k is the so-called homogeneous dimension of Rh+k. By means of an Almgren-type monotonicity formula we identify the exact asymptotic blow-up profile of solutions on degenerate points of Ω. As an application we derive strong unique continuation properties for solutions.

Abstract

The Grushin Laplacian −Δα is a degenerate elliptic operator in Rh+k that degenerates on {0}×Rk. We consider weak solutions of −Δαu=Vu in an open bounded connected domain Ω with V∈W1,σ(Ω) and σ>Q/2, where Q=h+(1+α)k is the so-called homogeneous dimension of Rh+k. By means of an Almgren-type monotonicity formula we identify the exact asymptotic blow-up profile of solutions on degenerate points of Ω. As an application we derive strong unique continuation properties for solutions.
