Sign-changing and constant-sign solutions for p-Laplacian problems with jumping nonlinearities

By variational methods, we prove the existence of a sign-changing solution for the p-Laplacian equation under Dirichlet boundary condition with jumping nonlinearity having relation to the Fu?ík spectrum of p-Laplacian. We also provide the multiple existence results for the p-Laplacian problems.     

Eigenvalue inequalities for the p-Laplacian on a Riemannian manifold and estimates for the heat kernel

In this paper, we successfully generalize the eigenvalue comparison theorem for the Dirichlet p  -Laplacian (1<p<∞$1<p<\infty$) obtained by Matei (2000) [19] and Takeuchi (1998) [22], respectively. Moreover, we use this generalized eigenvalue comparison theorem to get estimates for the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet p-Laplacian of geodesic balls on complete Riemannian manifolds with radial Ricci curvature bounded from below w.r.t. some point. In the rest of this paper, we derive an upper and lower bound for the heat kernel of geodesic balls of complete manifolds with specified curvature constraints, which can supply new ways to prove the most part of two generalized eigenvalue comparison results given by Freitas, Mao and Salavessa (2013) [9].     

A Liouville-type theorem for the p-Laplacian with potential term

In this paper we prove a sufficient condition, in terms of the behavior of a ground state of a singular p  -Laplacian problem with a potential term, such that a nonzero subsolution of another such problem is also a ground state. Unlike in the linear case (p=2$p=2$), this condition involves comparison of both the functions and of their gradients.     

On sign-changing and multiple solutions of the p-Laplacian

In this paper, we construct the pseudo-gradient vector field in , by which we obtain the positive and negative cones of are both invariant sets of the descent flow of the corresponding functional. Then we use differential equations theory in Banach spaces and dynamics theory to study p-Laplacian boundary value problems with “jumping” nonlinearities at zero or infinity, and get new multiple solutions and sign-changing solutions theorems of p-Laplacian.     

Positive solutions of the p-Laplacian involving a superlinear nonlinearity with zeros

Using a combination of several methods, such as variational methods, the sub and supersolutions method, comparison principles and a priori estimates, we study existence, multiplicity, and the behavior with respect to λ of positive solutions of p-Laplace equations of the form −Δpu=λh(x,u), where the nonlinear term has p-superlinear growth at infinity, is nonnegative, and satisfies h(x,a(x))=0 for a suitable positive function a. In order to manage the asymptotic behavior of the solutions we extend a result due to Redheffer and we establish a new Liouville-type theorem for the p-Laplacian operator, where the nonlinearity involved is superlinear, nonnegative, and has positive zeros.     

Existence,non-existence and regularity of radial ground states for p-Laplacian equations with singular weights

By the Mountain Pass Theorem and the constrained minimization method existence of positive or compactly supported radial ground states for quasilinear singular elliptic equations with weights are established. The paper also includes the discussion of regularity and the validity of useful qualitative properties of the solutions, which seems of independent interest. Finally, a Pohozaev type identity is produced to deduce some non-existence results.     

Multiple positive solutions for nonlinear eigenvalue problems with the p-Laplacian

In this paper we consider a nonlinear eigenvalue problem driven by the p$p$-Laplacian differential operator and with a nonsmooth potential. Using degree theoretic arguments based on the degree map for certain operators of monotone type, we show that the problem has at least two nontrivial positive solutions as the parameter λ>0$\lambda >0$ varies in a half-line.     

Construction of pseudo-gradient vector field and sign-changing multiple solutions involving p-Laplacian

Existence of multiple and sign-changing solutions for a problem involving p-Laplacian and jumping nonlinearities are considered via the construction of descent flow in . Sign-changing and multiple solutions are obtained under additional assumption on the nonlinearity. The uniqueness of positive (negative) solution theorem is included too.

Existence of ground state solutions to Hamiltonian elliptic system with potentials

In this paper, we investigate nonlinear Hamiltonian elliptic system{-?u + b(向量)(x) · ?u +(V(x) + τ)u = K(x)g(v) in R~N,-?v-(向量)b(x)·?v +(V(x) + τ)v = K(x)f(u) in R~N,u(x) → 0 and v(x) → 0 as |x| →∞,where N ≥ 3, τ 0 is a positive parameter and V, K are nonnegative continuous functions,f and g are both superlinear at 0 with a quasicritical growth at infinity. By establishing a variational setting, the existence of ground state solutions is obtained.     

Propagation of low regularity for solutions of nonlinear PDEs on a Riemannian manifold with a sub-Laplacian structure

Following Bernicot (2012) [7], we introduce a notion of paraproducts associated to a semigroup. We do not use Fourier transform arguments and the background manifold is doubling, endowed with a sub-Laplacian structure. Our main result is a paralinearization theorem in a non-Euclidean framework, with an application to the propagation of regularity for some nonlinear PDEs.     

Multiple constant sign and nodal solutions for nonlinear elliptic equations with the p-Laplacian

We consider a nonlinear elliptic equation driven by the p-Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using variational techniques combined with the method of upper-lower solutions and suitable truncation arguments, we establish the existence of at least five nontrivial solutions. Two positive, two negative and a nodal (sign-changing) solution. Our framework of analysis incorporates both coercive and p-superlinear problems. Also the result on multiple constant sign solutions incorporates the case of concave-convex nonlinearities.

Eigenvalue problems for the p-Laplacian

We study nonlinear eigenvalue problems for the p$p$-Laplace operator subject to different kinds of boundary conditions on a bounded domain. Using the Ljusternik–Schnirelman principle, we show the existence of a nondecreasing sequence of nonnegative eigenvalues. We prove the simplicity and isolation of the principal eigenvalue and give a characterization for the second eigenvalue.     

Existence and concentration of positive solutions for a class of gradient systems

Some gradient systems with two competing potential functions are considered. Bound states (solutions with finite energy) are proved to exist and to concentrate at a point in the limit. The proof relies on variational methods, where the existence and concentration of positive solutions are related to a suitable ground energy function.
