Let us consider the quasilinear problem [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a bounded domain in [Formula: see text] with smooth boundary, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is a parameter and [Formula: see text] is a continuous function with [Formula: see text], having a subcritical growth. We prove that there exists [Formula: see text] such that, for every [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] has at least [Formula: see text] solutions, possibly counted with their multiplicities, where [Formula: see text] is the Poincaré polynomial of [Formula: see text]. Using Morse techniques, we furnish an interpretation of the multiplicity of a solution, in terms of positive distinct solutions of a quasilinear equation on [Formula: see text], approximating [Formula: see text].

In this paper, we study the existence of multiple solutions for the boundary value problem\begin{equation}\Delta_{\gamma} u+f(x,u)=0 \quad \mbox{ in } \Omega, \quad \quad u=0 \quad \mbox{ on } \partial \Omega, \notag\end{equation}where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in $\mathbb{R}^N \ (N \ge 2)$ and $\Delta_{\gamma}$ is the subelliptic operator of the type $$\Delta_\gamma: =\sum\limits_{j=1}^{N}\partial_{x_j} \left(\gamma_j^2 \partial_{x_j} \right), \ \partial_{x_j}=\frac{\partial }{\partial x_{j}}, \gamma = (\gamma_1, \gamma_2, ..., \gamma_N), $$the nonlinearity $f(x , \xi)$ is subcritical growth and may be not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz (AR) condition. We establish the existence of three nontrivial solutions by using Morse theory.

Let Ω be a bounded domain in RNwith smooth boundary ∂Ω. In this paper, the following Dirichlet problem for N-Laplacian equations (N > 1) are considered: [Formula: see text] We assume that the nonlinearity f(x, t) is sub-exponential growth. In fact, we will prove the mapping f(x, ⋅): LA(Ω) ↦ LÃ(Ω) is continuous, where LA(Ω) and LÃ(Ω) are Orlicz spaces. Applying this result, the compactness conditions would be obtained. Hence, we may use Morse theory to obtain existence of nontrivial solutions for problem (N).

We study the nonlinear eigenvalue problem $-(\mathrm{div} (a(|\nabla u|)\nabla u)=\lambda|u|^{q(x)-2}u$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, where $\Omega$ is a bounded open set in ${\mathsf R}^N$ with smooth boundary, $q$ is a continuous function, and $a$ is a nonhomogeneous potential. We establish sufficient conditions on $a$ and $q$ such that the above nonhomogeneous quasilinear problem has continuous families of eigenvalues. The proofs rely on elementary variational arguments. The abstract results of this paper are illustrated by the cases $a(t)=t^{p-2}\log (1+t^r)$ and $a(t)= t^{p-2} [\log (1+t)]^{-1}$.

We study the boundary value problem - div ((a1(|∇ u|) + a2(|∇ u|))∇ u) = λ|u|q(x)-2u in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝN (N ≥ 3) with smooth boundary, λ is a positive real number, q is a continuous function and a1, a2 are two mappings such that a1(|t|)t, a2(|t|)t are increasing homeomorphisms from ℝ to ℝ. We establish the existence of two positive constants λ0 and λ1 with λ0 ≤ λ1 such that any λ ∈ [λ1, ∞) is an eigenvalue, while any λ ∈ (0, λ0) is not an eigenvalue of the above problem.

Abstract In this paper, we consider the following modified quasilinear problem: − Δ u − κ u Δ u 2 = λ a ( x ) u − α + b ( x ) u β i n Ω , u > 0 i n Ω , u = 0 o n ∂ Ω , $$\begin{array}{} \left\{\begin{array}{c}\, -{\it\Delta} u-\kappa u{\it\Delta} u^2 = \lambda a(x)u^{-\alpha}+b(x)u^\beta \, \, in\, {\it\Omega}, \\\!\! u \gt 0 \, \, in\, {\it\Omega}, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, u = 0 \, \, on \, \partial{\it\Omega} , \\ \end{array}\right. \end{array} $$ where Ω ⊂ ℝ N is a smooth bounded domain, N ≥ 3, a, b are two bounded continuous functions, α > 0, 1 < β ≤ 22* − 1 and λ > 0 is a bifurcation parameter. We use the framework of analytic bifurcation theory to obtain an analytic global unbounded path of solutions to the problem. Moreover, we get the direction of solution curve at the asmptotic point.

Abstract We prove the existence of at least one ground state solution for the semilinear elliptic problem \left\{\begin{aligned} \displaystyle-\Delta u&\displaystyle=u^{p(x)-1},\quad u% >0,\quad\text{in}\ G\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{N},\ N\geq 3,\\ \displaystyle u&\displaystyle\in D_{0}^{1,2}(G),\end{aligned}\right. where G is either {\mathbb{R}^{N}} or a bounded domain, and {p\colon G\to\mathbb{R}} is a continuous function assuming critical and subcritical values.

We study the existence of positive solutions of a population model with diffusion of the form [Formula: see text] where Δp denotes the p-Laplacian operator defined by Δpz = div (∣∇z∣p-2∇z), p > 1, Ω is a bounded domain of RN with smooth boundary, α ∈ (0, 1), a and c are positive constants. Here f : [0, ∞) → R is a continuous function. This model arises in the studies of population biology of one species with u representing the concentration of the species. We discuss the existence of positive solution when f satisfies certain additional conditions. We use the method of sub- and super-solutions to establish our results.

AbstractIn this paper we prove an existence result of multiple positive solutions for the following quasilinear problem:\left\{\begin{aligned} \displaystyle-\Delta u-\Delta(u^{2})u&\displaystyle=|u|% ^{p-2}u&&\displaystyle\phantom{}\text{in }\Omega,\\ \displaystyle u&\displaystyle=0&&\displaystyle\phantom{}\text{on }\partial% \Omega,\end{aligned}\right.where Ω is a smooth and bounded domain in {\mathbb{R}^{N},N\geq 3}. More specifically we prove that, for p near the critical exponent {22^{*}=4N/(N-2)}, the number of positive solutions is estimated below by topological invariants of the domain Ω: the Ljusternick–Schnirelmann category and the Poincaré polynomial. With respect to the case involving semilinear equations, many difficulties appear here and the classical procedure does not apply immediately. We obtain also en passant some new results concerning the critical case.

In this article, we consider the following p-q-Laplacian system with singular and critical nonlinearity \begin{equation*} \left \{ \begin{array}{lllll} -\Delta_{p}u-\Delta_{q}u=\frac{h_{1}(x)}{u^{r}}+\lambda\frac{\alpha}{\alpha+\beta}u^{\alpha-1}v^{\beta} \ \ in\ \Omega ,\\ -\Delta_{p}v-\Delta_{q}v=\frac{h_{2}(x)}{v^{r}}+\lambda\frac{\beta}{\alpha+\beta}u^{\alpha}v^{\beta-1} \ \ in\ \Omega, \\ u,v>0 \ \ \ \ \ \ in \ \Omega, \ \ \ \ \ u=v=0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ on \ \partial\Omega, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where Ω is a bounded domain in $\mathbb {R}^{n}$ with smooth boundary $\partial\Omega$. $11,\lambda\in(0,\Lambda_{*})$ is parameter with $\Lambda _{*}$ is a positive constant and $h_{1}(x),h_{2}(x)\in L^{\infty},h_{1}(x),h_{2}(x)>0$. We show the existence and multiplicity of weak solution of equation above for suitable range of $\lambda$.
