New multiplicity of positive solutions for some class of nonlocal problems
AbstractIn this paper, we study the following nonlocal problem: $$ \textstyle\begin{cases} - (a-b \int _{\Omega } \vert \nabla u \vert ^{2}\,dx ) \Delta u= \lambda \vert u \vert ^{q-2}u, & x\in \Omega , \\ u=0, & x\in \partial \Omega , \end{cases} $$ { − ( a − b ∫ Ω | ∇ u | 2 d x ) Δ u = λ | u | q − 2 u , x ∈ Ω , u = 0 , x ∈ ∂ Ω , where Ω is a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ R N with $N\ge 3$ N ≥ 3 , $a,b>0$ a , b > 0 , $1< q<2$ 1 < q < 2 and $\lambda >0$ λ > 0 is a parameter. By virtue of the variational method and Nehari manifold, we prove the existence of multiple positive solutions for the nonlocal problem. As a co-product of our arguments, we also obtain the blow-up and the asymptotic behavior of these solutions as $b\searrow 0$ b ↘ 0 .
