We consider nonlinear Robin problems driven by the p-Laplacian plus an indefinite potential. In the reaction, we have the competing effects of a parametric concave (that is, ( p − 1 ) -sublinear) term and of a convex (that is, ( p − 1 ) -superlinear) term which need not satisfy the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. We prove a "bifurcation-type" theorem describing in a precise way the dependence the dependence of the set of positive solutions on the parameter λ > 0 . In addition, we show the existence of a smallest positive solution u λ * and determine the monotonicity and continuity properties of the map λ ↦ u λ * .

AbstractWe consider a parametric nonlinear, nonhomogeneous Dirichlet problem driven by the (p, q)-Laplacian with a reaction involving a singular term plus a superlinear reaction which does not satisfy the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. The main goal of the paper is to look for positive solutions and our approach is based on the use of variational tools combined with suitable truncations and comparison techniques. We prove a bifurcation-type theorem describing in a precise way the dependence of the set of positive solutions on the parameter $$\lambda $$ λ . Moreover, we produce minimal positive solutions and determine the monotonicity and continuity properties of the minimal positive solution map.

We consider a parametric Robin problem driven by the Laplace operator plus an indefinite and unbounded potential. The reaction term is a Carathéodory function which exhibits superlinear growth near $+\infty $ without satisfying the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. We are looking for positive solutions and prove a bifurcation-type theorem describing the dependence of the set of positive solutions on the parameter. We also establish the existence of the minimal positive solution $u^*_{\lambda }$ and investigate the monotonicity and continuity properties of the map $\lambda \mapsto u^*_{\lambda }$.

AbstractIn this paper, we consider a Dirichlet problem driven by an anisotropic (p, q)-differential operator and a parametric reaction having the competing effects of a singular term and of a superlinear perturbation. We prove a bifurcation-type theorem describing the changes in the set of positive solutions as the parameter moves. Moreover, we prove the existence of a minimal positive solution and determine the monotonicity and continuity properties of the minimal solution map.

Positive solutions for a kind of third-order multipoint boundary value problem under the nonresonant conditions and the resonant conditions are considered. In the nonresonant case, by using the Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem, the existence of at least three positive solutions is obtained. In the resonant case, by using the Leggett-Williams norm-type theorem due to O’Regan and Zima, the existence result of at least one positive solution is established. It is remarkable to point out that it is the first time that the positive solution is considered for the third-order boundary value problem at resonance. Some examples are given to demonstrate the main results of the paper.

Abstract We consider a nonlinear Robin problem driven by the (p, q)-Laplacian and a parametric reaction exhibiting the competition of a concave term and of a resonant perturbation. We prove a bifurcation-type theorem describing the changes in the set of positive solutions as the parameter λ moves on ℝ̊+ = (0, +∞). Also, we determine the continuity properties of the solution multifunction.

We consider a nonlinear nonhomogeneous Robin equation driven by the sum of a \(p\)-Laplacian and of a \(q\)-Laplacian (\((p,q)\)-equation) plus an indefinite potential term and a parametric reaction of logistic type (superdiffusive case). We prove a bifurcation-type result describing the changes in the set of positive solutions as the parameter \(\lambda \gt 0\) varies. Also, we show that for every admissible parameter \(\lambda \gt 0\), the problem admits a smallest positive solution.

Abstract We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by the (p, q)-Laplacian with $$1<q<p$$ 1 < q < p . The reaction is parametric and exhibits the competing effects of a singular term and of concave and convex nonlinearities. We are looking for positive solutions and prove a bifurcation-type theorem describing in a precise way the set of positive solutions as the parameter varies. Moreover, we show the existence of a minimal positive solution and we study it as a function of the parameter.

AbstractWe consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by the (p, q)-Laplacian and with a reaction having the combined effects of a singular term and of a parametric $$(p-1)$$ ( p - 1 ) -superlinear perturbation. We prove a bifurcation-type result describing the changes in the set of positive solutions as the parameter $$\lambda >0$$ λ > 0 varies. Moreover, we prove the existence of a minimal positive solution $$u^*_\lambda $$ u λ ∗ and study the monotonicity and continuity properties of the map $$\lambda \rightarrow u^*_\lambda $$ λ → u λ ∗ .

AbstractWe study a parametric Robin problem driven by a nonlinear nonhomogeneous differential operator and with a superlinear Carathéodory reaction term. We prove a bifurcation-type theorem for small values of the parameter. Also, we show that as the parameter {\lambda>0} approaches zero, we can find positive solutions with arbitrarily big and arbitrarily small Sobolev norm. Finally, we show that for every admissible parameter value, there is a smallest positive solution {u^{*}_{\lambda}} of the problem, and we investigate the properties of the map {\lambda\mapsto u^{*}_{\lambda}}.

This study concerns the existence of positive solutions to classes of boundary value problems of the form−∆u = g(x,u), x ∈ Ω,u(x) = 0, x ∈ ∂Ω,where ∆ denote the Laplacian operator, Ω is a smooth bounded domain in RN (N ≥ 2) with ∂Ω of class C2, and connected, and g(x, 0) < 0 for some x ∈ Ω (semipositone problems). By using the method of sub-super solutions we prove the existence of positive solution to special types of g(x,u).
