Qualitative analysis of positive radial singular solutions on hyperbolic space

Abstract

We investigate positive radial solutions with an isolated nonremovable singularity for the semilinear elliptic equation \begin{align*} \Delta_{\mathbb{H}^N} u+\lambda u+u^p=0 \qquad\text{in }\mathbb{H}^N\setminus\{Q\}, \end{align*} where $N\geq 3$, $p>1$, $\lambda\le \frac{(N-1)^2}{4}$, and $Q\in\mathbb{H}^N$ is a prescribed pole. Our purpose is to describe how the locally Euclidean singular behavior near ${\{Q}\}$ interacts with the genuinely hyperbolic dynamics at infinity, and how this interaction changes across the Serrin and Sobolev critical exponents. For $\frac{N}{N-2}\le p<\frac{N+2}{N-2}$, we construct a family of positive radial singular solutions selecting the fast exponential mode at infinity. At the pole, these solutions exhibit the logarithmically corrected fundamental-solution profile when $p=\frac{N}{N-2}$, and the standard power-law profile when $\frac{N}{N-2}<p<\frac{N+2}{N-2}.$ At the conformally invariant pair $(p,\lambda)=(\frac{N+2}{N-2},\frac{N(N-2)}{4})$, we obtain an explicit singular solution and nonconstant Fowler-type solutions, and we classify all positive radial solutions with a nonremovable singularity via the positive periodic orbits of an associated autonomous equation. In the supercritical regime $p>\frac{N+2}{N-2}$ with $\lambda\le\frac{ N(N-2)}{4}$, we prove existence and uniqueness of the global positive radial singular solution, derive its two-term local asymptotic expansion near the pole, and establish a sharp trichotomy for its behavior at infinity.
