We study the boundary value problem in , u =0 on , where is a smooth bounded domain in and is a -Laplace type operator, with . We prove that if λ is large enough then there exist at least two non-negative weak solutions. Our approach relies on the variable exponent theory of generalized Lebesgue–Sobolev spaces, combined with adequate variational methods and a variant of the Mountain Pass lemma.

Abstract In this paper, we prove the existence and regularity of solutions of the homogeneous Dirichlet initial-boundary value problem for a class of degenerate elliptic equations with lower order terms. The results we obtained here, extend some existing ones of [2, 9, 11] in some sense.

Currents drawn under high fields often present practical limitations to electrorheological (ER) fluids usefulness. For heavy-duty applications where large torques have to be transmitted, the power consumption of a ER fluid can be considerable, and for such uses a current density of ~100μ A cm -2 is often taken as a practical upper limit. This investigation was conducted into designing a fluid which has little extraneous conductance and therefore would demand less current. Selected semi-conducting polymers provide effective substrates for ER fluids. Such polymers are soft insoluble powdery materials with densities similar to dispersing agents used in ER formulations. Polyaniline is a semi-conducting polymer and can be used as an effective ER substrate in its emeraldine base form. In order to provide an effective ER fluid which requires less current polyaniline was coated with an insulating polymer. The conditions for coating was established for lauryl and methyl methacrylate. Results from static yield measurements indicate that ER fluids containing coated polyaniline required less current than uncoated polyaniline i.e. 0.5μ A cm -2. The generic type of coating was also found to be important.
