In this paper, we study the existence, multiplicity and concentration of positive solutions for a class of quasilinear problemswhere —Δp is the p-Laplacian operator for is a small parameter, f(u) is a superlinear and subcritical nonlinearity that is continuous in u. Using a variational method, we first prove that for sufficiently small ε > 0 the system has a positive ground state solution uε with some concentration phenomena as ε → 0. Then, by the minimax theorems and Ljusternik–Schnirelmann theory, we investigate the relation between the number of positive solutions and the topology of the set of the global minima of the potentials. Finally, we obtain some sufficient conditions for the non-existence of ground state solutions.

This paper is concerned with the following semilinear elliptic equations of the formwhere ε is a small positive parameter, and where f and g denote superlinear and subcritical nonlinearity. Suppose that b(x) has at least one maximum. We prove that the system has a ground-state solution (ψε, φε) for all sufficiently small ε > 0. Moreover, we show that (ψε, φε) converges to the ground-state solution of the associated limit problem and concentrates to a maxima point of b(x) in certain sense, as ε → 0. Furthermore, we obtain sufficient conditions for nonexistence of ground-state solutions.

AbstractConsider the semilinear Schrödinger equationwhere f is a superlinear, subcritical nonlinearity. We mainly study the case where both V and f are periodic in x and 0 belongs to a spectral gap of −Δ + V. Based on the work of Szulkin and Weth [J Funct Anal 257: 3802-3822, 2009], we develop a new technique to show the boundedness of Cerami sequences and derive a new super-quadratic condition that there exists a θfor the existence a “ground state solution” which minimizes the corresponding energy among all nontrivial solutions. Our result unifies and improves some known ones and the recent ones of Szulkin and Weth [J Funct Anal 257: 3802-3822, 2009] and Liu [Calc. Var. 45: 1-9, 2012].

We study the positive solutions of the Lane–Emden problem -Δpu = λp|u|q-2u in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω ⊂ ℝN is a bounded and smooth domain, N ≥ 2, λp is the first eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian operator Δp, p > 1, and q is close to p. We prove that any family of positive solutions of this problem converges in [Formula: see text] to the function θpep when q → p, where ep is the positive and L∞-normalized first eigenfunction of the p-Laplacian and [Formula: see text]. A consequence of this result is that the best constant of the immersion [Formula: see text] is differentiable at q = p. Previous results on the asymptotic behavior (as q → p) of the positive solutions of the nonresonant Lane–Emden problem (i.e. with λp replaced by a positive λ ≠ λp) are also generalized to the space [Formula: see text] and to arbitrary families of these solutions. Moreover, if uλ,q denotes a solution of the nonresonant problem for an arbitrarily fixed λ > 0, we show how to obtain the first eigenpair of the p-Laplacian as the limit in [Formula: see text], when q → p, of a suitable scaling of the pair (λ, uλ,q). For computational purposes the advantage of this approach is that λ does not need to be close to λp. Finally, an explicit estimate involving L∞- and L1-norms of uλ,q is also derived using set level techniques. It is applied to any ground state family {vq} in order to produce an explicit upper bound for ‖vq‖∞ which is valid for q ∈ [1, p + ϵ] where [Formula: see text].

This paper systematically investigates positive solutions to a kind of two-point boundary value problem (BVP) for nonlinear fractional differential equations with p-Laplacian operator and presents a number of new results. First, the considered BVP is converted to an operator equation by using the property of the Caputo derivative. Second, based on the operator equation and some fixed point theorems, several sufficient conditions are presented for the nonexistence, the uniqueness, and the multiplicity of positive solutions. Finally, several illustrative examples are given to support the obtained new results. The study of illustrative examples shows that the obtained results are effective.

AbstractIn this paper, we consider the following critical Kirchhoff type equation:By using variational methods that are constrained to the Nehari manifold, we prove that the above equation has a ground state solution for the case when 3 < q < 5. The relation between the number of maxima of Q and the number of positive solutions for the problem is also investigated.

We consider the elliptic problem−Δu+u=b(x)|u|p−2u+h(x)inΩ,u∈H01(Ω), where2<p<(2N/(N−2)) (N≥3), 2<p<∞ (N=2), Ωis a smooth unbounded domain inℝN, b(x)∈C(Ω), andh(x)∈H−1(Ω). We use the shape of domainΩto prove that the above elliptic problem has a ground-state solution if the coefficientb(x)satisfiesb(x)→b∞>0as|x|→∞andb(x)≥cfor some suitable constantsc∈(0,b∞), andh(x)≡0. Furthermore, we prove that the above elliptic problem has multiple positive solutions if the coefficientb(x)also satisfies the above conditions,h(x)≥0and0<‖h‖H−1<(p−2)(1/(p−1))(p−1)/(p−2)[bsupSp(Ω)]1/(2−p), whereS(Ω)is the best Sobolev constant of subcritical operator inH01(Ω)andbsup=supx∈Ωb(x).

We investigate the existence of multiple positive solutions for three-point boundary value problem of fractional differential equation with -Laplacian operator , where are the standard Riemann-Liouville derivatives with , and the constant is a positive number satisfying ; -Laplacian operator is defined as . By applying monotone iterative technique, some sufficient conditions for the existence of multiple positive solutions are established; moreover iterative schemes for approximating these solutions are also obtained, which start off a known simple linear function. In the end, an example is worked out to illustrate our main results.
