Abstract:
Let and
. In this paper, we first classify all non-constant
solutions of
We then establish a and a Moser-Trudinger type
inequalities for the equation
. Our results illustrate
that this equation is much closer to the Liouville problem
in dimension two than the usual critical
exponent equation, namely
is.
