If $K$ is very sub-harmonic at each critical point of $K$ in $B_{2/3}$ and the maximum of $u$ in $\bar B_{1/3}$ is comparable to its maximum over $\bar B_1$, then all positive solutions are uniformly bounded on $\bar B_{1/3}$. As an application, a priori estimate for solutions of equations defined on $\mathbb S^n$ is derived.26 pagesAnalysis of PDEs35J60, 53C21A priori estimate for a family of semi-linear elliptic equations with critical nonlinearitytext
