 A class of degenerate elliptic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions We consider positive solutions of the problem $$(*)\qquad \left\{ \begin{array}{l}-\mbox{div}(x_{n}^{a}\nabla u)=bx_{n}^{a}u^{p}\;\;\;\;\;\mbox{in}\;\;\mathbb{R}_{+}^{n}, \\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu^a}=u^{q} \;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; \;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\mbox{on}\;\;\partial \mathbb{R}_{+}^{n}, \\ \end{array} \right.$$ where $a\in (-1,0)\cup(0,1)$, $b\geq 0$, $p, q\gt 1$ and $\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu^a}:=-\lim_{x_{n}\rightarrow 0^+}x_{n}^{a}\frac{\partial u}{\partial x_{n}}$. In special case $b=0$, it is associated to fractional Laplacian equation $(-\Delta)^{s}u=u^{q}$ in entire space $\mathbb{R}^{n-1}$. We obtain the existence of positive axially symmetric solutions to ($*$) for the case $a\in (-1,0)$ in $n\geq3$ for supercritical exponents $p\geq\frac{n+a+2}{n+a-2}, \;\;q\geq\frac{n-a}{n+a-2}$. The nonexistence is obtained for the case $a\in (-1,0)$, $b\geq 0$ and any $p,~q\gt 1$ in $n=2$ as well.

 Existence of Weak Solutions of Linear Subelliptic Dirichlet Problems With Rough Coefficients This article gives an existence theory for weak solutions of second order non-elliptic linear Dirichlet problems of the form \begin{align*} \nabla'P(x)\nabla u +{\bf HR}u+{\bf S'G}u +Fu &= f+{\bf T'g} \text{ in }\Theta \\ u&=\varphi\text{ on }\partial \Theta. \end{align*} The principal part $\xi'P(x)\xi$ of the above equation is assumed to be comparable to a quadratic form ${\mathcal Q}(x,\xi) = \xi'Q(x)\xi$ that may vanish for non-zero $\xi\in\mathbb{R}^n$. This is achieved using techniques of functional analysis applied to the degenerate Sobolev spaces $QH^1(\Theta)=W^{1,2}(\Theta,Q)$ and $QH^1_0(\Theta)=W^{1,2}_0(\Theta,Q)$ as defined in previous works. Sawyer and Wheeden give a regularity theory for a subset of the class of equations dealt with here.
