AbstractLet 1 < p < +∞ and let Ω ⊂ ℝN be either a ball or an annulus. We continue the analysis started in [Boscaggin, Colasuonno, Noris, ESAIM Control Optim. Calc. Var. (2017)], concerning quasilinear Neumann problems of the type $-\Delta _pu = f(u),\quad u > 0\,{\rm in }\,\Omega ,\quad \partial _\nu u = 0\,{\rm on }\,\partial \Omega .$We suppose that f(0) = f(1) = 0 and that f is negative between the two zeros and positive after. In case Ω is a ball, we also require that f grows less than the Sobolev-critical power at infinity. We prove a priori bounds of radial solutions, focussing in particular on solutions which start above 1. As an application, we use the shooting technique to get existence, multiplicity and oscillatory behaviour (around 1) of non-constant radial solutions.

For 1 < p < ∞, we consider the following problem      −Δpu = f(u),   u > 0 in Ω,   ∂νu = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω ⊂ ℝN is either a ball or an annulus. The nonlinearity f is possibly supercritical in the sense of Sobolev embeddings; in particular our assumptions allow to include the prototype nonlinearity f(s) = −sp−1 + sq−1 for every q > p. We use the shooting method to get existence and multiplicity of non-constant radial solutions. With the same technique, we also detect the oscillatory behavior of the solutions around the constant solution u ≡ 1. In particular, we prove a conjecture proposed in [D. Bonheure, B. Noris and T. Weth, Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré Anal. Non Linéaire 29 (2012) 573−588], that is to say, if p = 2 and f′ (1) > λradk + 1, with λradk + 1 the (k + 1)-th radial eigenvalue of the Neumann Laplacian, there exists a radial solution of the problem having exactly k intersections with u ≡ 1, for a large class of nonlinearities.
