AbstractIn this paper, we study the existence of weak solutions of the quasilinear equation \begin{cases} -{\rm div} (a(\vert \nabla u \vert ^2)\nabla u)=\lambda f(x,u) &{\rm in} \ \Omega,\\ u=0 &{\rm on} \ \partial\Omega, \end{cases}where a : ℝ → [0, ∞) is C1 and a nonincreasing continuous function near the origin, the nonlinear term f : Ω × ℝ → ℝ is a Carathéodory function verifying certain superlinear conditions only at zero, and λ is a positive parameter. The existence of the solution relies on C1-estimates and variational arguments.

Abstract In the present paper, we consider the following Kirchhoff type problem $$ -\Big(\varepsilon^2+\varepsilon b \int_{\mathbb R^3} | \nabla v|^2\Big) \Delta v+V(x)v=|v|^{p-2}v \quad {\rm in}\ \mathbb{R}^3, $$ where b > 0, p ∈ (4, 6), the potential $V\in C(\mathbb R^3,\mathbb R)$ and ɛ is a positive parameter. The existence and multiplicity of semi-classical state solutions are obtained by variational method for this problem with several classes of critical frequency potentials, i.e., $\inf _{\mathbb R^N} V=0$ . As to Kirchhoff type problem, little has been done for the critical frequency cases in the literature, especially the potential may vanish at infinity.

We analyse the multiplicity of non-negative solutions for the critical concave—convex-type equationwhere Ω is a bounded domain of ℝN, 1 < r < p and λ > 0, and μ is a real parameter. Combining minimization on the underlying Nehari manifold with energy estimates, we show that, under suitable conditions on a and b, three non-negative solutions may exist when λ is positive and sufficiently small and μ is in a right neighbourhood of μ1, the first weighted eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian. To the best of our knowledge, our multiplicity result is new, even in the semi-linear case p = 2.

Suppose that L is a second-order self-adjoint elliptic partial differential operator on a bounded domain Ω ⊂ Rn, n ≥ 2, and a, b ∈ L∞(Ω). If the equation Lu = au+ − bu− + λu (where λ ∈ R and u±(x) = max{±u(x), 0}) has a non-trivial solution u, then λ is said to be a half-eigenvalue of (L; a, b). In this paper, we obtain some general properties of the half-eigenvalues of (L; a, b) and also show that, generically, the half-eigenvalues are ‘simple’.We also consider the semilinear problem where f : Ω × R → R is a Carathéodory function such that, for a.e. x ∈ Ω, and we relate the solvability properties of this problem to the location of the half-eigenvalues of (L; a, b).

SynopsisWe consider the boundary value problemwhere Ω ⊂ ℝn is a bounded domain, n≧3, 2* = 2n/(n − 2) is the critical exponent for the Sobolev embedding and λ is a real positive parameter. We prove the existence of infinitely many solutions of (*) when Ω exhibits suitable symmetries.

AbstractWe consider a class of critical quasilinear problemswhere 0 ∈ Ω ⊂ ℝN, N ≥ 3, is a bounded domain and 1 < p < N, a < N/p, a ≤ b < a + 1, λ is a positive parameter, 0 ≤ μ < $\bar{\mu}$ ≡ ((N − p)/p − a)p, q = q*(a, b) ≡ Np/[N − pd] and d ≡ a+1 − b. Infinitely many small solutions are obtained by using a version of the symmetric Mountain Pass Theorem and a variant of the concentration-compactness principle. We deal with a problem that extends some results involving singularities not only in the nonlinearities but also in the operator.

AbstractWe prove uniqueness of positive solutions for the boundary value problems \[ \{\begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u=\lambda f(u)\ \ &\text{in}\Omega, \ \ \ \ \ u=0 &\text{on \partial \Omega, \] where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝn with smooth boundary ∂Ω, λ is a positive parameter and f:(0,∞) → (0,∞) is sublinear at ∞ and is allowed to be singular at 0.

We study the existence of multiple solutions for the problemand we show that at least one of them is sign changing. Here Ω is a bounded domain in ℝN with N ⩾ 5 whose boundary is of class C2, ∂/∂ν is the outward normal derivative, and f ∈ LN/2(Ω) whose L2N/(N+2)(Ω) norm is sufficiently small.

Consider the system where λ is a positive parameter and Ω is a bounded domain in RN. We prove the existence of a large positive solution for λ large when limx → ∞ (f(Mg(x))/x) = 0 for every M > 0. In particular, we do not need any monotonicity assumptions on f, g, nor any sign conditions on f(0), g(0).
