A note on Liouville type equations on graphs

Abstract

In this note, we study the Liouville equation $Δu = -e^u$ on a graph G satisfying certain isoperimetric inequality. Following the idea of W. Ding, we prove that there exists a uniform lower bound for the energy, $Σ_G e^u$ of any solution $u$, to the equation. In particular, for the 2-dimensional lattice graph $Z^2$; the lower bound is given by 4.
