It is the class of semi-stable solutions, which includes local minimizers, minimal solutions, and extremal solutions. We establish sharp pointwise, Lq, and Wk,q estimates for semi-stable radial solutions. Our regularity results do not depend on the specific nonlinearity g. Among other results, we prove that every semi-stable radial weak solution u ? H1 0 is bounded if n ? 9 (for every g), and belongs to H3 = W3,2 in all dimensions n (for every g increasing and convex). The optimal regularity results are strongly related to an explicit exponent which is larger than the critical Sobolev exponent. Peer Reviewed 2005 Article Open Access
