Résumé

Let varOmega be a domain in mathbbRn with ngeq2 and 0invarOmega. We study anisotropic elliptic equations such as sumi=1n,partialxi(|partialxiu|pi2partialxiu)=delta0 in varOmega (with Dirac mass delta0 at zero), subject to u=0 on partialvarOmega. We assume that all pi are in (1,infty) with their harmonic mean p satisfying either Case 1: p<n and max1leqileqnpi<fracp(n1)np or Case 2: p=n and varOmega is bounded. We introduce a suitable notion of fundamental solution and establish its existence, together with sharp pointwise upper bound estimates near the origin for the solution and its derivatives. The latter is based on a Moser-type iteration scheme specific to each case, which is intricate due to our anisotropic analogue of the reverse H"older inequality. This is joint work with Jérôme Vétois (University of Nice)."
