AbstractWe consider a Robin problem driven by the (p, q)-Laplacian plus an indefinite potential term. The reaction is either resonant with respect to the principal eigenvalue or $$(p-1)$$ ( p - 1 ) -superlinear but without satisfying the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. For both cases we show that the problem has at least five nontrivial smooth solutions ordered and with sign information. When $$q=2$$ q = 2 (a (p, 2)-equation), we show that we can slightly improve the conclusions of the two multiplicity theorems.

AbstractWe consider a nonlinear Robin problem driven by a non-homogeneous differential operator plus an indefinite potential term. The reaction function is Carathéodory with arbitrary growth near±∞. We assume that it is odd and exhibits a concave term near zero. Using a variant of the symmetric mountain pass theorem, we establish the existence of a sequence of distinct nodal solutions which converge to zero.

AbstractWe consider a parametric nonlinear Robin problem driven by the negative p-Laplacian plus an indefinite potential. The equation can be thought as a perturbation of the usual eigenvalue problem. We consider the case where the perturbation $$f(z,\cdot )$$ f ( z , · ) is $$(p-1)$$ ( p - 1 ) -sublinear and then the case where it is $$(p-1)$$ ( p - 1 ) -superlinear but without satisfying the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. We establish existence and uniqueness or multiplicity of positive solutions for certain admissible range for the parameter $$\lambda \in {\mathbb {R}}$$ λ ∈ R which we specify exactly in terms of principal eigenvalue of the differential operator.

Abstract We consider a parametric semilinear Robin problem driven by the Laplacian plus an indefinite and unbounded potential. In the reaction, we have the competing effects of a concave term appearing with a negative sign and of an asymmetric asymptotically linear term which is resonant in the negative direction. Using variational methods together with truncation and perturbation techniques and Morse theory (critical groups), we prove two multiplicity theorems producing four and five, respectively, nontrivial smooth solutions when the parameter {\lambda>0} is small.

The present paper is concern with the Dirichlet problem for semi-linear corner degenerate elliptic equations with singular potential term. We first give the preliminary of the framework and then discuss the weighted corner type Hardy inequality. By using the variational method, we prove the existence of multiple solutions for the Dirichlet boundary-value problem.

AbstractIn this paper we consider nonlinear Dirichlet problems driven by the p-Laplacian differential operator with a nonsmooth potential (hemivariational inequalities). We assume that the problem is resonant at infinity with respect to λ1 > 0 (the principal eigenvalue of the Dirichlet p-Lapalcian) from the right. Using minimax methods based on the nonsmooth critical point theory we prove an existence and a multiplicity theorem.

We consider a semilinear Robin problem driven by the Laplacian plus an indefinite and unbounded potential and a superlinear reaction term which need not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. Using variational tools we prove two theorems. An existence theorem producing a nontrivial smooth solution and a multiplicity theorem producing a whole unbounded sequence of nontrivial smooth solutions.

Nonlinear Neumann Problems

AbstractWe consider a nonlinear Neumann problem driven by the p-Laplacian and with a reaction which exhibits an asymmetric behaviour near +∞ and near −∞. Namely, it is (p − 1)- superlinear near +∞ (but need not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition) and it is (p − 1)-linear near −∞. Combining variational methods with Morse theory, we show that the problem has at least three nontrivial smooth solutions.

Abstract In this paper we are concerned with the study of the spectrum for a class of eigenvalue problems driven by two non-homogeneous differential operators with different variable growth and an indefinite potential in the following form $$\eqalign{ & - {\rm{div}}\left[ {{\cal H}(x,|\nabla u|)\nabla u + \Im (x,|\nabla u|)\nabla u} \right] + V(x)|u{|^{m(x) - 2}}u = \cr & = \lambda \left( {|u{|^{{q_1}(x) - 2}} + |u{|^{{q_2}(x) - 2}}} \right)u\;{\rm{in}}\;\Omega , \cr}$$ which is subjected to Dirichlet boundary condition. The proofs rely on variational arguments and they consist in finding two Rayleigh-type quotients, which lead us to an unbounded continuous spectrum on one side, and the nonexistence of the eigenvalues on the other.

We consider a parametric semilinear Dirichlet problem with an unbounded and indefinite potential. In the reaction we have the competing effects of a sublinear (concave) term and of a superlinear (convex) term. Using variational methods coupled with suitable truncation techniques, we prove two multiplicity theorems for small values of the parameter. Both theorems produce five nontrivial smooth solutions, and in the second theorem we provide precise sign information for all the solutions.
