AbstractWe prove an equivalence between weighted Poincaré inequalities and the existence of weak solutions to a Neumann problem related to a degenerate p-Laplacian. The Poincaré inequalities are formulated in the context of degenerate Sobolev spaces defined in terms of a quadratic form, and the associated matrix is the source of the degeneracy in the p-Laplacian.

<abstract><p>In an earlier paper, Cruz-Uribe, Rodney and Rosta proved an equivalence between weighted Poincaré inequalities and the existence of weak solutions to a family of Neumann problems related to a degenerate $ p $-Laplacian. Here we prove a similar equivalence between Poincaré inequalities in variable exponent spaces and solutions to a degenerate $ {p(\cdot)} $-Laplacian, a non-linear elliptic equation with nonstandard growth conditions.</p></abstract>

Abstract By using variational methods and critical point theory in an appropriate Orlicz-Sobolev setting, the authors establish the existence of infinitely many non-negative weak solutions to a non-homogeneous Neumann problem. They also provide some particular cases and an example to illustrate the main results in this paper.

Abstract This article gives an existence theory for weak solutions of second order non-elliptic linear Dirichlet problems of the formThe principal part ξ'P(x)ξ of the above equation is assumed to be comparable to a quadratic form Q(x,ξ)=ξ'Q(x)ξ that may vanish for non-zero ξ ∊ ℝn. This is achieved using techniques of functional analysis applied to the degenerate Sobolev spaces QH1 (Θ)=W1,2(Θ,Q) and QH10(Θ)= W1,20 (Θ,Q)as defined in previous works. E.T. Sawyer and R.L. Wheeden (2010) have given a regularity theory for a subset of the class of equations dealt with here.

We study a nonlocal Neumann problem driven by a nonhomogeneous elliptic differential operator. The reaction term is a nonlinearity function that exhibits p-superlinear growth but need not satisfy the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. By using an abstract linking theorem for smooth functionals, we prove a multiplicity result on the existence of weak solutions for such problems. An explicit example illustrates the main abstract result of this paper.

Let Φ be anN-function. We show that a functionu∈LΦ(ℝn)belongs to the Orlicz-Sobolev spaceW1,Φ(ℝn)if and only if it satisfies the (generalized) Φ-Poincaré inequality. Under more restrictive assumptions on Φ, an analog of the result holds in a general metric measure space setting.
