Existence of non-zero solutions for a Dirichlet problem driven by (p(x),q(x)-Laplacian

2021

The paper focuses on a Dirichlet problem driven by the (Formula presented.) -Laplacian. The existence of at least two non-zero solutions under suitable conditions on the nonlinear term is established. The approach is based on variational methods.

On Different Type Solutions of Boundary Value Problems

2016

We consider boundary value problems of the type x'' = f(t, x, x'), (∗) x(a) = A, x(b) = B. A solution ξ(t) of the above BVP is said to be of type i if a solution y(t) of the respective equation of variations y'' = fx(t, ξ(t), ξ' (t))y + fx' (t, ξ(t), ξ' (t))y' , y(a) = 0, y' (a) = 1, has exactly i zeros in the interval (a, b) and y(b) 6= 0. Suppose there exist two solutions x1(t) and x2(t) of the BVP. We study properties of the set S of all solutions x(t) of the equation (∗) such that x(a) = A, x'1(a) ≤ x' (a) ≤ x'2(a) provided that solutions extend to the interval [a, b].

Critical points for nondifferentiable functions in presence of splitting

2006

A classical critical point theorem in presence of splitting established by Brézis-Nirenberg is extended to functionals which are the sum of a locally Lipschitz continuous term and of a convex, proper, lower semicontinuous function. The obtained result is then exploited to prove a multiplicity theorem for a family of elliptic variational-hemivariational eigenvalue problems. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Multiplicity theorems for the Dirichlet problem involving the p-Laplacian

2003

Multiplicity theorems for the Dirichlet problem involving the p-Laplacian were proved using variational approach. It was shown that there existed an open interval and a positive real number, and each problem admits at least three weak solutions. Results on the existence of at least three weak solutions for the Dirichlet problems were established.

Periodic solutions for a class of second-order Hamiltonian systems

2005

Multiplicity results for an eigenvalue second-order Hamiltonian system are investigated. Using suitable critical points arguments, the existence of an exactly determined open interval of positive eigenvalues for which the system admits at least three distinct periodic solutions is established. Moreover, when the energy functional related to the Hamiltonian system is not coercive, an existence result of two distinct periodic solutions is given.© 2005 Texas State University - San Marcos.

Existence and multiplicity of solutions for non linear elliptic Dirichlet systems

2012

The existence and multiplicity of solutions for systems of nonlinear elliptic equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions is investigated. Under suitable assumptions on the potential of the nonlinearity, the existence of one, or two, or three solutions is established. Our approach is based on variational methods.

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.

(p,2)-equations resonant at any variational eigenvalue

2018

We consider nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet problems driven by the sum of a p-Laplacian and a Laplacian (a (p,2) -equation). The reaction term at ±∞ is resonant with respect to any variational eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian. We prove two multiplicity theorems for such equations.
