Abstract:
We prove that positive solutions of the Lane-Emden equation in a two-dimensional smooth bounded domain are uniformly bounded for all large exponents. Recent work of De Marchis, Grossi, Ianni and Pacella provides a fairly complete asymptotic description of such solutions, under a certain integral bound. We show that this bound is always satisfied in star-shaped domains.
