1. Introduction and Main Results
We set on open analytic domain of .
We consider the following equation:
[TABLE]
Here, we assume that:
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
and,
[TABLE]
When and , the above system is reduced to an equation which was studied by many authors, with or without the boundary condition, also for Riemann surfaces, see [1-17], one can find some existence and compactness results, also for a system.
Among other results, we can see in [6] the following important Theorems ():,
Theorem A.(Brezis-Merle [6]).Consider the case of one equation; if and are two sequences of functions relatively to the problem with, , then, for all compact set of ,
[TABLE]
Theorem B (Brezis-Merle [6]).Consider the case of one equation and assume that and are two sequences of functions relatively to the previous problem with, , and,
[TABLE]
then, for all compact set of ,
[TABLE]
Next, we call energy the following quantity:
[TABLE]
The boundedness of the energy is a necessary condition to work on the problem as showed in , by the following counterexample ():
Theorem C (Brezis-Merle [6]).Consider the case of one equation, then there are two sequences and of the problem with, , and,
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
When , the above system have many properties in the constant and the Lipschitzian cases. Indeed we have (when ):
In [12], Dupaigne-Farina-Sirakov proved (by an existence result of Montenegro, see [16]) that the solutions of the above system when and are constants can be extremal and this condition imply the boundedness of the energy and directly the compactness. Note that in [11], if we assume (in particular) that and and or and are nonegative and uniformly bounded then the energy is bounded and we have a compactness result.
Note that in the case of one equation (and ), we can prove by using the Pohozaev identity that if , is uniformely Lipschitzian that the energy is bounded when is starshaped. In [15] Ma-Wei, using the moving-plane method showed that this fact is true for all domain with the same assumptions on . In [11] De Figueiredo-do O-Ruf extend this fact to a system by using the moving-plane method for a system.
Theorem C, shows that we have not a global compactness to the previous problem with one equation, perhaps we need more information on to conclude to the boundedness of the solutions. When is Lipschitz function and , Chen-Li and Ma-Wei see [7] and [15], showed that we have a compactness on all the open set. The proof is via the moving plane-Method of Serrin and Gidas-Ni-Nirenberg. Note that in [11], we have the same result for this system when and are uniformly bounded. We will see below that for a system we also have a compactness result when and are Lipschitzian and .
Now consider the case of one equation. In this case our equation have nice properties.
If we assume with more regularity, we can have another type of estimates, a type inequalities. It was proved by Shafrir see [17], that, if are two sequences of functions solutions of the previous equation without assumption on the boundary and, , then we have the following interior estimate:
[TABLE]
Now, if we suppose uniformly Lipschitzian with the Lipschitz constant, then, and , see [5].
Here we are interested by the case of a system of this type of equation. First, we give the behavior of the blow-up points on the boundary, with weight and boundary singularity, and in the second time we have a proof of compactness of the solutions to Gelfand-Liouville type system with weight and boundary singularity and Lipschitz condition.
Here, we write an extention of Brezis-Merle Problem (see [6]) to a system:
Problem. Suppose that and in , with, and . Also, we consider two sequences of solutions of relatively to such that,
[TABLE]
is it possible to have:
[TABLE]
and,
[TABLE]
In this paper we give a caracterization of the behavior of the blow-up points on the boundary and also a proof of the compactness theorem when and are uniformly Lipschitzian and . For the behavior of the blow-up points on the boundary, the following condition are enough,
[TABLE]
The conditions and in are not necessary.
But for the proof of the compactness for the system, we assume that:
[TABLE]
Our main result are:
** Theorem 1.1****.**
Assume that and Where and are solutions of the probleme with (), and:
[TABLE]
and,
[TABLE]
then; after passing to a subsequence, there is a finction , there is a number and points , such that,
[TABLE]
, and,
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
, and,
[TABLE]
In the following theorem, we have a proof for the global a priori estimate which concern the problem .
** Theorem 1.2****.**
Assume that are solutions of relatively to with the following conditions:
[TABLE]
and,
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
We have,
[TABLE]
and,
[TABLE]
2. Proof of the theorems
Proof of theorem 1.1:**
We have:
[TABLE]
Since by the corollary 1 of Brezis-Merle’s paper (see [6]) we have for all and the elliptic estimates of Agmon and the Sobolev embedding (see [1]) imply that:
[TABLE]
And,
We have:
[TABLE]
Since by the corollary 1 of Brezis-Merle’s paper (see [6]) we have for all and the elliptic estimates of Agmon and the Sobolev embedding (see [1]) imply that:
[TABLE]
Since and are bounded in , we can extract from those two sequences two subsequences which converge to two nonegative measures and . (This procedure is similar to the procedure of Brezis-Merle, we apply corollary 4 of Brezis-Merle paper, see [6]).
If , by a Brezis-Merle estimate for the first equation, we have around , by the elliptic estimates, for the second equation, we have around , and , returning to the first equation, we have around .
If , then and are also locally bounded around .
Thus, we take a look to the case when, and . By our hypothesis, those points are finite.
We will see that inside no such points exist. By contradiction, assume that, we have . Let us consider a ball which contain only as nonregular point. Thus, on , the two sequence and are uniformly bounded. Let us consider:
[TABLE]
By the maximum principle we have:
[TABLE]
and almost everywhere on this ball, and thus,
[TABLE]
and,
[TABLE]
but, is a solution in , , of the following equation:
[TABLE]
with, and thus, and then, by the maximum principle in :
[TABLE]
thus,
[TABLE]
which is a contradiction. Thus, there is no nonregular points inside
Thus, we consider the case where we have nonregular points on the boundary, we use two estimates:
[TABLE]
and,
[TABLE]
We have the same computations, as in the case of one equation.
We consider a points such that:
[TABLE]
We consider a test function on the boundary we extend by a harmonic function on , we write the equation:
[TABLE]
with,
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
with,
[TABLE]
By the Brezis-Merle estimate, we have uniformly, around , by the elliptic estimates, for the second equation, we have around , and , returning to the first equation, we have around .
We have the same thing if we assume:
[TABLE]
Thus, if or , we have for small enough:
[TABLE]
By our hypothesis the set of the points such that:
[TABLE]
is finite, and, outside this set and are locally uniformly bounded. By the elliptic estimates, we have the convergence to and on each compact set of .
Indeed,
By the Stokes formula we have,
[TABLE]
We use the weak convergence in the space of Radon measures to have the existence of a nonnegative Radon measure such that,
[TABLE]
We take an such that, . For small enough set on the unt disk or one can assume it as an interval. We choose a function such that,
[TABLE]
We take a such that,
[TABLE]
Remark:* We use the following steps in the construction of :*
We take a cutoff function in or :
1- We set in the case of the unit disk it is sufficient.
2- Or, in the general case: we use a chart with and we take to have connected sets and we take . Because are Lipschitz, for and for , the support of is in .
[TABLE]
3- Also, we can take: and , we extend it by [math] outside . We have , and with and smooth diffeomorphism.
[TABLE]
And, , since is Lipschitz. Here is the Hausdorff measure.
We solve the Dirichlet Problem:
[TABLE]
and finaly we set . Also, by the maximum principle and the elliptic estimates we have :
[TABLE]
with depends on .
We use the following estimate, see [8],
[TABLE]
We deduce from the last estimate that, converge weakly in , almost everywhere to a function and (by Fatou lemma). Also, weakly converge to a nonnegative function in .

The function are in solutions of :
[TABLE]
And,
[TABLE]
According to the corollary 1 of Brezis-Merle’s result, see [6], we have . By the elliptic estimates, we have .
According to the corollary 1 of Brezis-Merle’s result, see [6], we have . By the elliptic estimates, we have .
For two vectors and we denote by the inner product of and .
We can write:
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
We use the interior esimate of Brezis-Merle, see [6],
Step 1:* Estimate of the integral of the first term of the right hand side of .*
We use the Green formula between and , we obtain,
[TABLE]
We have,
[TABLE]
We use the Green formula between and to have:
[TABLE]
From and we have for all there is such that, for ,
[TABLE]
Step 2:* Estimate of integral of the second term of the right hand side of .*
Let and , . Then, for small enough, is hypersurface.
The measure of is .
Remark*: for the unit ball , our new manifold is .*
( Proof of this fact; let’s consider , this imply that for all which it is equivalent to for all , let’s consider a chart around and a curve in , we have;
* if we divide by (with the sign and tend to ), we have , this imply that where is the outward normal of at ))*
With this fact, we can say that . It is sufficient to work on . Let’s consider a charts with such that is cover of . One can extract a finite cover , by the area formula the measure of is less than a (a -rectangle). For the reverse inequality, it is sufficient to consider one chart around one point of the boundary.
We write,
[TABLE]
Step 2.1:* Estimate of .*
First, we know from the elliptic estimates that , depends on
We know that is bounded in , we can extract from this sequence a subsequence which converge weakly to . But, we know that we have locally the uniform convergence to (by Brezis-Merle’s theorem), then, a.e. Let be the conjugate of .
We have,
[TABLE]
If we take , we have:
[TABLE]
Then, for ,
[TABLE]
Thus, we obtain,
[TABLE]
The constant does not depend on but on .
Step 2.2:* Estimate of .*
We know that, , and ( because of Brezis-Merle’s interior estimates) in . We have,
[TABLE]
We write,
[TABLE]
For , we have for , ,
[TABLE]
From and , we have, for , there is such that,
[TABLE]
We choose small enough to have a good estimate of .
Indeed, we have:
[TABLE]
with
We can use Theorem 1 of [6] to conclude that there are such that:
[TABLE]
where, is a neighberhood of in . Here we have used that in a neighborhood of by the elliptic estimates, .
Thus, for each there is such that:
[TABLE]
Now, we consider a cutoff function such that
[TABLE]
We write
[TABLE]
Because, by Poincaré and Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequalities:
[TABLE]
with, .
By the elliptic estimates, is uniformly bounded in . Finaly, we have, for some small enough,
[TABLE]
Now, we consider a cutoff function such that
[TABLE]
We write
[TABLE]
By the elliptic estimates, is uniformly bounded in and also in norm.
If we repeat this procedure another time, we have a boundedness of and in the norm, because they are bounded in norms with .
We have the same computations and conclusion if we consider a regular point for the measure .
We have proved that, there is a finite number of points such that the squence and are locally uniformly bounded (in ) in .
Proof of theorem 1.2:**
Without loss of generality, we can assume that is a blow-up point. Since the boundary is an analytic curve , there is a neighborhood of [math] such that the curve can be extend to a holomorphic map such that (series) and by the inverse mapping one can assume that this map is univalent around [math]. In the case when the boundary is a simple Jordan curve the domain is simply connected. In the case that the domains has a finite number of holes it is conformally equivalent to a disk with a finite number of disks removed. Here we consider a general domain. Without loss of generality one can assume that and also and and is univalent. This means that is a local chart around [math] for and univalent. (This fact holds if we assume that we have an analytic domain, (below a graph of an analytic function), we have necessary the condition and the graph is analytic, in this case with real analytic and an example of this fact is the unit disk around the point for example).
By this conformal transformation, we can assume that , the half ball, and is the exterior part, a part which not contain [math] and on which converge in the norm to . Let us consider , the half ball with radius . Also, one can consider a domain (a rectangle between two half disks) and by charts its image is a domain) We know that:
[TABLE]
Thus we can use integrations by parts (Stokes formula). The Pohozaev identity applied around the blow-up [math]:
[TABLE]
Thus,
[TABLE]
After integration by parts, we obtain:
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Also, for and , we have:
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
If, we take the difference, we obtain:
[TABLE]
But,
[TABLE]
and,
[TABLE]
a contradiction.
