Resonance problems for the p-Laplacian systems

Two existence theorems of the solutions are obtained for the p-Laplacian systems at resonance under a Landesman-Lazer-type condition by critical point theory.     

Existence of homoclinic solutions for higher-order periodic difference equations with p-Laplacian

Using the critical point theory in combination with periodic approximations, we establish sufficient conditions on the existence of homoclinic solutions for higher-order periodic difference equations with p-Laplacian. Our results provide rather weaker conditions to guarantee the existence of homoclinic solutions and considerably improve some existing ones even for some special cases.     

Existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the p-Laplacian with nonlocal coefficient

We consider the Dirichlet problem with nonlocal coefficient given by in a bounded, smooth domain Ω⊂Rn (n?2), where Δp is the p-Laplacian, w is a weight function and the nonlinearity f(u) satisfies certain local bounds. In contrast with the hypotheses usually made, no asymptotic behavior is assumed on f. We assume that the nonlocal coefficient (q?1) is defined by a continuous and nondecreasing function satisfying a(t)>0 for t>0 and a(0)?0. A positive solution is obtained by applying the Schauder Fixed Point Theorem. The case a(t)=tγ/q (0<γ<p−1) will be considered as an example where asymptotic conditions on the nonlinearity provide the existence of a sequence of positive solutions for the problem with arbitrarily large sup norm.     

Existence of positive solutions for the p-Laplacian with p-gradient term

In this paper, we study the existence of positive solutions for the p-Laplacian involving a p-gradient term. Due to the non-variational structure and the fact that the nonlinearity may be critical or supercritical, the variational method is no longer valid. Taking advantage of global C1,α estimates and the Liouville type theorems, we employ the blow-up argument to obtain the a priori estimates on solutions, and finally obtain the existence result based on the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem.     

Existence and multiplicity results for classes of elliptic resonant problems

In this paper we prove some new existence results of nontrivial solutions for classes of elliptic resonant problems. We also establish several multiplicity results. The methods used here are based on combining the minimax methods and the Morse theory especially some new observations on the critical groups of a local linking-type degenerate critical point.

A multiplicity theorem for problems with the p-Laplacian

We consider a nonlinear elliptic problem driven by the p-Laplacian, with a parameter λ∈R and a nonlinearity exhibiting a superlinear behavior both at zero and at infinity. We show that if the parameter λ is bigger than λ₂=the second eigenvalue of , then the problem has at least three nontrivial solutions. Our approach combines the method of upper-lower solutions with variational techniques involving the Second Deformation Theorem. The multiplicity result that we prove extends an earlier semilinear (i.e. p=2) result due to Struwe [M. Struwe, Variational Methods, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1990].

Existence of three positive solutions for boundary value problems with p-Laplacian

By using fixed point theorem, we study the following equation g(u^′′(t))+a(t)f(u)=0 subject to boundary conditions, where g(v)=|v|^p−2v with p>1; the existence of at least three positive solutions is proved.     

Existence of solutions for some nonlinear problems with p-Laplacian like operators

The purpose of this paper is to obtain some existence results of solutions for the nonlinear boundary value problems with p-Laplacian like operators.     

Global attractors for p-Laplacian equation

The existence of a -global attractor is proved for the p-Laplacian equation ut−div(|∇u|^p−2∇u)+f(u)=g on a bounded domain Ω⊂Rn(n?3) with Dirichlet boundary condition, where p?2. The nonlinear term f is supposed to satisfy the polynomial growth condition of arbitrary order c₁q|u|−k?f(u)u?c₂q|u|+k and f^′(u)?−l, where q?2 is arbitrary. There is no other restriction on p and q. The asymptotic compactness of the corresponding semigroup is proved by using a new a priori estimate method, called asymptotic a priori estimate.     

Uniqueness results for the one-dimensional p-Laplacian

This paper is concerned with positive solutions of the boundary value problem ^′(|y^′|^p−2y^′)+f(y)=0, y(−b)=0=y(b) where p>1, b is a positive parameter. Assume that f is continuous on (0,+∞), changes sign from nonpositive to positive, and f(y)/yp−1 is nondecreasing in the interval of f>0. The uniqueness results are proved using a time-mapping analysis.
