Here $h_1, h_2$ are two smooth positive functions. The purpose of the paper is to initiate the analytical study of the above equation and to give a quite complete picture both for what concerns the blow-up phenomena and the existence issue. In the first part of the paper we provide a quantization of local blow-up masses associated to a blowing-up sequence of solutions. Next we exclude the presence of blow-up points on the boundary under the Dirichlet boundary conditions. In the second part of the paper we consider the Tzitz\\'eica equation on compact surfaces: we start by proving a sharp Moser-Trudinger inequality related to this problem. Finally, we give a general existence result.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-05-06T09:49:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J61", "35J20", "35R01", "35B44" ], "keywords": [ "tzitzéica equation", "blow-up analysis", "analytic aspects", "tzitzeica equation", "general existence result" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
