(p, 2)-Equations with a Crossing Nonlinearity and Concave Terms
2018
We consider a parametric Dirichlet problem driven by the sum of a p-Laplacian ($$p>2$$) and a Laplacian (a (p, 2)-equation). The reaction consists of an asymmetric $$(p-1)$$-linear term which is resonant as $$x \rightarrow - \infty $$, plus a concave term. However, in this case the concave term enters with a negative sign. Using variational tools together with suitable truncation techniques and Morse theory (critical groups), we show that when the parameter is small the problem has at least three nontrivial smooth solutions.
Elliptic equations involving the $1$-Laplacian and a subcritical source term
2017
In this paper we deal with a Dirichlet problem for an elliptic equation involving the $1$-Laplacian operator and a source term. We prove that, when the growth of the source is subcritical, there exist two bounded nontrivial solutions to our problem. Moreover, a Pohozaev type identity is proved, which holds even when the growth is supercritical. We also show explicit examples of our results.
Triple solutions for nonlinear elliptic problems driven by a non-homogeneous operator
2020
Abstract Some multiplicity results for a parametric nonlinear Dirichlet problem involving a nonhomogeneous differential operator of p -Laplacian type are given. Via variational methods, the article furnishes new contributions and completes some previous results obtained for problems considering other types of differential operators and/or nonlinear terms satisfying different asymptotic conditions.
Positive solutions for singular (p, 2)-equations
2019
We consider a nonlinear nonparametric Dirichlet problem driven by the sum of a p-Laplacian and of a Laplacian (a (p, 2)-equation) and a reaction which involves a singular term and a $$(p-1)$$ -superlinear perturbation. Using variational tools and suitable truncation and comparison techniques, we show that the problem has two positive smooth solutions.
Existence and asymptotic properties for quasilinear elliptic equations with gradient dependence
2016
Abstract The paper focuses on a Dirichlet problem driven by the ( p , q ) -Laplacian containing a parameter μ > 0 in the principal part of the elliptic equation and a (convection) term fully depending on the solution and its gradient. Existence of solutions, uniqueness, a priori estimates, and asymptotic properties as μ → 0 and μ → ∞ are established under suitable conditions.
Anisotropic -Laplacian equations when goes to
2010
Abstract In this paper we prove a stability result for an anisotropic elliptic problem. More precisely, we consider the Dirichlet problem for an anisotropic equation, which is as the p -Laplacian equation with respect to a group of variables and as the q -Laplacian equation with respect to the other variables ( 1 p q ), with datum f belonging to a suitable Lebesgue space. For this problem, we study the behaviour of the solutions as p goes to 1 , showing that they converge to a function u , which is almost everywhere finite, regardless of the size of the datum f . Moreover, we prove that this u is the unique solution of a limit problem having the 1-Laplacian operator with respect to the firs…
New isoperimetric estimates for solutions to Monge - Ampère equations
2009
Abstract We prove some sharp estimates for solutions to Dirichlet problems relative to Monge–Ampere equations. Among them we show that the eigenvalue of the Dirichlet problem, when computed on convex domains with fixed measure, is maximal on ellipsoids. This result falls in the class of affine isoperimetric inequalities and shows that the eigenvalue of the Monge–Ampere operator behaves just the contrary of the first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator.
Multiple solutions with sign information for a (p,2)-equation with combined nonlinearities
2020
Abstract 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 p…
Positive solutions for parametric singular Dirichlet(p,q)-equations
2020
Abstract We consider a nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet problem driven by the ( p , q ) -Laplacian and a reaction consisting of a parametric singular term plus a Caratheodory perturbation f ( z , x ) which is ( p − 1 ) -linear as x → + ∞ . First we prove a bifurcation-type theorem describing in an exact way the changes in the set of positive solutions as the parameter λ > 0 moves. Subsequently, we focus on the solution multifunction and prove its continuity properties. Finally we prove the existence of a smallest (minimal) solution u λ ∗ and investigate the monotonicity and continuity properties of the map λ → u λ ∗ .
Weak Solutions for a (p(z), q(z))-Laplacian Dirichlet Problem
2020
We establish the existence of a nontrivial and nonnegative solution for a double phase Dirichlet problem driven by a (p(z); q(z))-Laplacian operator plus a potential term. Our approach is variational, but the reaction term f need not satisfy the usual in such cases Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition.
