We study the zero Dirichlet problem for the equation [Formula: see text] in a bounded domain [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text]. We investigate the relation between two critical curves on the [Formula: see text]-plane corresponding to the threshold of existence of special classes of positive solutions. In particular, in certain neighborhoods of the point [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the first eigenfunction of the [Formula: see text]-Laplacian, we show the existence of two and, which is rather unexpected, three distinct positive solutions, depending on a relation between the exponents [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

Abstract In this article, we study the following fractional p-Laplacian equation with critical growth and singular non-linearity: (-\Delta_{p})^{s}u=\lambda u^{-q}+u^{\alpha},\quad u>0\quad\text{in }\Omega,% \qquad u=0\quad\text{in }\mathbb{R}^{n}\setminus\Omega, where Ω is a bounded domain in {\mathbb{R}^{n}} with smooth boundary {\partial\Omega} , {n>sp} , {s\in(0,1)} , {\lambda>0} , {0<q\leq 1} and {1<p<\alpha+1\leq p^{*}_{s}} . We use variational methods to show the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions of the above problem with respect to the parameter λ.

Abstract We obtain a generalization of the Picone inequality which, in combination with the classical Picone inequality, appears to be useful for problems with the (p,q) -Laplace-type operators. With its help, as well as with the help of several other known generalized Picone inequalities, we provide some nontrivial facts on the existence and nonexistence of positive solutions to the zero Dirichlet problem for the equation -\hspace{-0.25em}{\text{&#x0394;}}_{p}u-{\text{&#x0394;}}_{q}u={f}_{\mu }(x,u,\nabla u) in a bounded domain \text{&#x03A9;}\hspace{0.25em}\subset {{\mathbb{R}}}^{N} under certain assumptions on the nonlinearity and with a special attention to the resonance case {f}_{\mu }(x,u,\nabla u)={\lambda }_{1}(p)|u{|}^{p-2}u+\mu |u{|}^{q-2}u , where {\lambda }_{1}(p) is the first eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian.

This paper is devoted to the study of existence, nonexistence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the semilinear elliptic problem [Formula: see text] where Ω is a bounded domain of ℝN, λ ∈ ℝ and g(x, u) is a Carathéodory function. The obtained results apply to the following classes of nonlinearities: a(x)uq + b(x)up and c(x)(1 + u)p (0 ≤ q < 1 < p). The proofs rely on the sub-super solution method and the mountain pass theorem.

In this paper, we investigate the multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of Schrödinger–Poisson systems with concave and convex nonlinearities as follows: [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] are two parameters, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is a potential well, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Such problem cannot be studied by applying variational methods in a standard way, since the (PS) condition is still unsolved on [Formula: see text] due to [Formula: see text]. By developing a novel constraint approach, we prove that the above problem admits at least two positive solutions.

By using the upper-lower solutions method and the fixed-point theorem on cone in a special space, we study the singular boundary value problem for systems of nonlinear second-order differential equations involving two parameters on the half-line. Some results for the existence, nonexistence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the problem are obtained.

Abstract We investigate the existence of nodal (sign-changing) solutions to the Dirichlet problem for a two-parametric family of partially homogeneous {(p,q)} -Laplace equations {-\Delta_{p}u-\Delta_{q}u=\alpha\lvert u\rvert^{p-2}u+\beta\lvert u\rvert^{q-2% }u} where {p\neq q} . By virtue of the Nehari manifolds, the linking theorem, and descending flow, we explicitly characterize subsets of the {(\alpha,\beta)} -plane which correspond to the existence of nodal solutions. In each subset the obtained solutions have prescribed signs of energy and, in some cases, exactly two nodal domains. The nonexistence of nodal solutions is also studied. Additionally, we explore several relations between eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the p- and q-Laplacians in one dimension.

AbstractWe establish the multiplicity of positive weak solutions for the quasilinear Dirichlet problem−Lpu+ |u|p−2u=h(u)in Ωλ,u= 0 on ∂Ωλ, where Ωλ= λΩ, Ω is a bounded domain in ℝN, λ is a positive parameter,Lpu≐ Δpu+ Δp(u2)uand the nonlinear termh(u) has subcritical growth. We use minimax methods together with the Lyusternik–Schnirelmann category theory to get multiplicity of positive solutions.

AbstractWe consider the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the quasilinear difference equation $$ \textstyle\begin{cases} -\nabla [\phi (\triangle u(t))]=\lambda a(t,u(t))+\mu b(t,u(t)), \quad t\in \mathbb{T}, \\ u(1)=u(N)=0, \end{cases} $$ { − ∇ [ ϕ ( △ u ( t ) ) ] = λ a ( t , u ( t ) ) + μ b ( t , u ( t ) ) , t ∈ T , u ( 1 ) = u ( N ) = 0 , where $\lambda ,\mu \geq 0$ λ , μ ≥ 0 , $\mathbb{T}=\{2,\ldots ,N-1\}$ T = { 2 , … , N − 1 } with $N>3$ N > 3 , $\phi (s)=s/\sqrt{1-s^{2}}$ ϕ ( s ) = s / 1 − s 2 . The function $f:=\lambda a(t,s)+\mu b(t,s)$ f : = λ a ( t , s ) + μ b ( t , s ) is either sublinear, or superlinear, or sub-superlinear near $s=0$ s = 0 . Applying the topological method, we prove the existence of either one or two, or three positive solutions.
