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.

AbstractWe study the eigenvalue problem $\(-\sum_{i=1}^N\di\partial_{x_i}(|\di\partial_{x_i}u |^{p_i(x)-2}\di\partial_{x_i}u)$ = λ|u|q(x)−2u in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝN with smooth boundary ∂Ω, λ is a positive real number, and p1,⋅ ⋅ ⋅, pN, q are continuous functions satisfying the following conditions: 2 ≤ pi(x) < N, 1 < q(x) for all x ∈ Ω, i ∈ {1,. . .,N}; there exist j, k ∈ {1,. . .,N}, j ≠ k, such that pj ≡ q in Ω, q is independent of xj and maxΩq < minΩpk. The main result of this paper establishes the existence of two positive constants λ0 and λ1 with λ0 ≤ λ1 such that every λ ∈(λ1, ∞) is an eigenvalue, while no λ ∈ (0, λ0) can be an eigenvalue of the above problem.

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 $a(t)= t^{p-2} [\log (1+t)]^{-1}$.

Let Ω ⊂ ℝN (N ≥ 2) be a bounded domain with smooth boundary. We show the existence of a positive real number λ* such that for each λ ∈ (0, λ*) and each real number p > N the equation −Δp u = λeu in Ω subject to the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition possesses a nonnegative solution up. Next, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of up as p → ∞ and we show that it converges uniformly to the distance function to the boundary of the domain.

Using Leray-Schauder degree theory we study the existence of at least one solution for the boundary value problem of the type\[\left\{\begin{array}{lll}(\varphi(u' ))' = f(t,u,u') & & \\u'(0)=u(0), \ u'(T)= bu'(0), & & \quad \quad \end{array}\right.\] where $\varphi: \mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a homeomorphism such that $\varphi(0)=0$, $f:\left[0, T\right]\times \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ is a continuous function, $T$ a positive real number, and $b$ some non zero real number.

In this paper, the minimization problem [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is studied when [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]) is an open, bounded, convex domain with smooth boundary and [Formula: see text]. We show that [Formula: see text] is either zero, when the maximum of the distance function to the boundary of [Formula: see text] is greater than [Formula: see text], or it is a positive real number, when the maximum of the distance function to the boundary of [Formula: see text] belongs to the interval [Formula: see text]. In the latter case, we provide estimates for [Formula: see text] and show that for [Formula: see text] sufficiently large [Formula: see text] coincides with the principal frequency of the [Formula: see text]-Laplacian in [Formula: see text]. Some particular cases and related problems are also discussed.

Using Leray-Schauder degree or degree for α-condensing maps we obtain the existence of at least one solution for the boundary value problem of the following type: φu′′=ft,u,u′,  u(T)=0=u′(0), where φ:X→X is a homeomorphism with reverse Lipschitz constant such that φ(0)=0, f:0,T×X×X→X is a continuous function, T is a positive real number, and X is a real Banach space.

There are various methods of finding the square roots of positive real number. This paper deals with finding the principle square root of positive real numbers by using Lagrange’s and Newton’s interpolation method. The interpolation method is the process of finding the values of unknown quantity (y) between two known quantities.

The aim of this paper is to study the solvability of the following problem, [Formula: see text] where (-Δ)s, with s ∈ (0, 1), is a fractional power of the positive operator -Δ, Ω ⊂ ℝN, N > 2s, is a Lipschitz bounded domain such that 0 ∈ Ω, μ is a positive real number, λ < ΛN,s, the sharp constant of the Hardy–Sobolev inequality, 0 < q < 1 and [Formula: see text], with αλ a parameter depending on λ and satisfying [Formula: see text]. We will discuss the existence and multiplicity of solutions depending on the value of p, proving in particular that p(λ, s) is the threshold for the existence of solution to problem (Pμ).

AbstractDiversities are a generalization of metric spaces which associate a positive real number to every finite subset of the space. In this paper, we introduce ultradiversities which are themselves simultaneously diversities and a sort of generalization of ultrametric spaces. We also give the notion of spherical completeness for ultradiversities based on the balls defined in such spaces. In particular, with the help of nonexpansive mappings defined between ultradiversities, we show that an ultradiversity is spherically complete if and only if it is injective.

Let m: [ 0, ∞) → [ 0, ∞) be an increasing continuous function with m(t) = 0 if and only if t = 0, m(t) → ∞ as t → ∞ and Ω C ℝN a bounded domain. In this note we show that for every r > 0 there exists a function ur solving the minimization problemwhere Moreover, the function ur is a weak solution to the corresponding Euler–Lagrange equationfor some λ > 0. We emphasize that no Δ2-condition is needed for M or M; so the associated functionals are not continuously differentiable, in general.
