ESTIMATES FOR THE GREEN FUNCTION AND SINGULAR SOLUTIONS FOR POLYHARMONIC NONLINEAR EQUATION ˆ IMED BACHAR, HABIB MAAGLI, SYRINE MASMOUDI, AND MALEK ZRIBI Received 5 July 2002 We establish a new form of the 3G theorem for polyharmonic Green function on the unit ball of Rn (n ≥ 2) corresponding to zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. This enables us to introduce a new class of functions Km,n containing properly the classical Kato class Kn . We exploit properties of functions belonging to Km,n to prove an infinite existence result of singular positive solutions for nonlinear elliptic equation of order 2m. 1. Introduction In [2], Boggio gave an explicit expression for the Green function Gm,n of (−)m on the unit ball B of Rn (n ≥ 2) with Dirichlet boundary conditions ∂ ∂m−1 u = u = ··· = u = 0 on ∂B, (1.1) ∂ν ∂νm−1 where ∂/∂ν is the outward normal derivate and m is a positive integer. In fact, he proved that for each x, y in B, we have 2m−n [x,y ]/ |x −y | v2 − 1 m−1 Gm,n (x, y ) = km,n |x −y | n−1 dv, (1.2) 1 v 2 2 2 2 where km,n is a positive constant and [x, y ] = |x −y | + (1 − |x | )(1 − |y | ), for each x, y in B . 2 Hence, from its expression, it is clear that Gm,n is positive in B , which does not hold for the Green function for the biharmonic or m-polyharmonic operator for an arbitrary bounded domain (see, e.g., [5]). Only for the case m = 1, we do not have this restr
