We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet elliptic equation driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator and with a Carathéodory reactionf(z,ζ), whose primitivef(z,ζ)isp-superlinear near±∞, but need not satisfy the usual in such cases, the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. Using a combination of variational methods with the Morse theory (critical groups), we show that the problem has at least three nontrivial smooth solutions. Our result unifies the study of “superlinear” equations monitored by some differential operators of interest like thep-Laplacian, the(p,q)-Laplacian, and thep-generalized mean curvature operator.

Using the fixed point index in a cone, we prove the results on both uniqueness and multiplicity of positive radial solutions of (P).

Mean Curvature Operator

AbstractWe discuss the existence and properties of solutions for systems of Dirichlet problems involving one dimensional mean curvature operator. Our approach is based on variational methods and covers both sublinear and superlinear cases of nonlinearities. We also investigate the continuous (in some sense) dependence of solutions on functional parameters.

Abstract In this paper, by using critical point theory, we obtain some sufficient conditions on the existence of infinitely many positive solutions of the discrete Dirichlet problem involving the mean curvature operator. We show that the suitable oscillating behavior of the nonlinear term near at the origin and at infinity will lead to the existence of a sequence of pairwise distinct nontrivial positive solutions. We also give two examples to illustrate our main results.

AbstractIn this paper, we use the critical point theory for convex, lower semicontinuous perturbations of{C^{1}}-functionals to obtain the existence of multiple nontrivial solutions for one parameter potential systems involving the operator{u\mapsto\operatorname{div}(\frac{\nabla u}{\sqrt{1-|\nabla u|^{2}}})}. The solvability of a general non-potential system is also established.
