Solutions and positive solutions for superlinear Robin problems
2019
We consider nonlinear, nonhomogeneous Robin problems with a (p − 1)-superlinear reaction term, which need not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. We look for positive solutions and prove existence and multiplicity theorems. For the particular case of the p-Laplacian, we prove existence results under a different geometry near the origin.We consider nonlinear, nonhomogeneous Robin problems with a (p − 1)-superlinear reaction term, which need not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition.

A multiplicity theorem for parametric superlinear (p,q)-equations
2020
We consider a parametric nonlinear Robin problem driven by the sum of a \(p\)-Laplacian and of a \(q\)-Laplacian (\((p,q)\)-equation). The reaction term is \((p-1)\)-superlinear but need not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. Using variational tools, together with truncation and comparison techniques and critical groups, we show that for all small values of the parameter, the problem has at least five nontrivial smooth solutions, all with sign information.
Robin problems with general potential and double resonance
2017
Abstract We consider a semilinear elliptic problem with Robin boundary condition and an indefinite and unbounded potential. The reaction term is a Caratheodory function exhibiting linear growth near ± ∞ . We assume that double resonance occurs with respect to any positive spectral interval. Using variational tools and critical groups, we show that the problem has a nontrivial smooth solution.
Superlinear Robin Problems with Indefinite Linear Part
2018
We consider a semilinear Robin problem with an indefinite linear part and a superlinear reaction term, which does not satisfy the usual in such cases AR condition. Using variational methods, together with truncation–perturbation techniques and Morse theory (critical groups), we establish the existence of three nontrivial solutions. Our result extends in different ways the multiplicity theorem of Wang.
Multiple solutions for strongly resonant Robin problems
2018
We consider nonlinear (driven by the p†Laplacian) and semilinear Robin problems with indefinite potential and strong resonance with respect to the principal eigenvalue. Using variational methods and critical groups, we prove four multiplicity theorems producing up to four nontrivial smooth solutions.
Multiple solutions with sign information for a (p,2)-equation with combined nonlinearities
2020
We consider a parametric nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by the sum of a p-Laplacian and of a Laplacian (a (p,2)-equation) and with a reaction which has the competing effects of two distinct nonlinearities. A parametric term which is (p−1)-superlinear (convex term) and a perturbation which is (p−1)-sublinear (concave term). First we show that for all small values of the parameter the problem has at least five nontrivial smooth solutions, all with sign information. Then by strengthening the regularity of the two nonlinearities we produce two more nodal solutions, for a total of seven nontrivial smooth solutions all with sign informations. Our proofs use critical point theory, critical gro…
Positive and nodal solutions for nonlinear nonhomogeneous parametric neumann problems
2020
We consider a parametric Neumann problem driven by a nonlinear nonhomogeneous differential operator plus an indefinite potential term. The reaction term is superlinear but does not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. First we prove a bifurcation-type result describing in a precise way the dependence of the set of positive solutions on the parameter λ > 0. We also show the existence of a smallest positive solution. Similar results hold for the negative solutions and in this case we have a biggest negative solution. Finally using the extremal constant sign solutions we produce a smooth nodal solution.
Multiple solutions for (p,2)-equations at resonance
2019
We consider a nonlinear nonhomogeneous Dirichlet problem driven by the sum of a p-Laplacian and a Laplacian and a reaction term which is (p− 1)-linear near ±∞ and resonant with respect to any nonprincipal variational eigenvalue of (−∆p, W01,p(Ω)). Using variational tools together with truncation and comparison techniques and Morse Theory (critical groups), we establish the existence of six nontrivial smooth solutions. For five of them we provide sign information and order them.
Resonant neumann equations with indefinite linear part
2015
We consider aseminonlinear Neumann problem driven by the $p$-Laplacian plus an indefinite and unbounded potential. The reaction of the problem is resonant at $\pm \infty$ with respect to the higher parts of the spectrum. Using critical point theory, truncation and perturbation techniques, Morse theory and the reduction method, we prove two multiplicity theorems. One produces three nontrivial smooth solutions and the second four nontrivial smooth solutions.
Nonlinear elliptic equations with asymmetric asymptotic behavior at $pminfty$
2016
We consider a nonlinear, nonhomogeneous Dirichlet problem with reaction which is asymptotically superlinear at $+infty$ and sublinear at $-infty$. Using minimax methods together with suitable truncation techniques and Morse theory, we show that the problem has at least three nontrivial solutions one of which is negative.
