An elliptic equation with perturbed p-Laplace operator

We consider an elliptic boundary value problem with perturbed p-Laplacian, p>1. The perturbation consists of a linear operator that dilates or compresses the argument of a function and is close to the identity. A weak existence theorem is obtained.     

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structure and the fact that the nonlinearity may be critical or supercritical, the variational method is no longer valid.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.

A free boundary problem for p-Laplacian in the plane

We consider the following free boundary problem in an unbounded domain Ω in two dimensions: Δpu=0 in Ω, on J₀, on J₁, where ∂Ω=J₀∪J₁. We prove that if 0<u<1 in Ω, Ji is the graph of a function in and gi is a constant for each i=0,1, then the free boundary ∂Ω must be two parallel straight lines and the solution u must be a linear function. The proof is based on maximum principle.     

Bounds for the positive eigenvalues of the p-Laplacian with decaying potential

An upper bound is obtained for the positive eigenvalues of the p-Laplacian with decaying potential on [0,∞). The bound is expressed in terms of the potential and is shown to be the best possible of its kind.

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.     

Landesman-Lazer type conditions for a system of p-Laplacian like operators

We study the existence of periodic solutions for a nonlinear second order system of ordinary differential equations of p-Laplacian type. Assuming suitable Nagumo and Landesman-Lazer type conditions we prove the existence of at least one solution applying topological degree methods. We extend a celebrated result by Nirenberg for resonant systems.     

Existence of infinitely many periodic solutions for ordinary p-Laplacian systems

In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of non-trivial periodic solutions of ordinary p-Laplacian systems by using the minimax technique in critical point theory. We also give an example to illustrate that the obtained results are new even in the case p=2.     

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.

Eigenvalues of the p-Laplacian in fractal strings with indefinite weights

In this paper we study the spectral counting function of the weighted p-Laplacian in fractal strings, where the weight is allowed to change sign. We obtain error estimates related to the interior Minkowski dimension of the boundary. We also find the asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues.     

On p-approximation properties for p-operator spaces

This paper has a two-fold purpose. Let 1<p<∞. We first introduce the p-operator space injective tensor product and study various properties related to this tensor product, including the p-operator space approximation property, for p-operator spaces on Lp-spaces. We then apply these properties to the study of the pseudofunction algebra PFp(G), the pseudomeasure algebra PMp(G), and the Figà-Talamanca-Herz algebra Ap(G) of a locally compact group G. We show that if G is a discrete group, then most of approximation properties for the reduced group C^∗-algebra , the group von Neumann algebra VN(G), and the Fourier algebra A(G) (related to amenability, weak amenability, and approximation property of G) have the natural p-analogues for PFp(G), PMp(G), and Ap(G), respectively. The p-completely bounded multiplier algebra McbAp(G) plays an important role in this work.     

On the existence of periodic solutions for a class of p-Laplacian system

By using generalized Borsuk theorem in coincidence degree theory, some criteria to guarantee the existence of ω-periodic solutions for a class of p-Laplacian system are derived.     

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.     

Infinitely many radial solutions for a p-Laplacian problem p-superlinear at the origin

We prove the existence of infinitely many radial solutions for a p-Laplacian Dirichlet problem which is p-superlinear at the origin. The main tool that we use is the shooting method. We extend for more general nonlinearities the results of J. Iaia in [J. Iaia, Radial solutions to a p-Laplacian Dirichlet problem, Appl. Anal. 58 (1995) 335-350]. Previous developments require a behavior of the nonlinearity at zero and infinity, while our main result only needs a condition of the nonlinearity at zero.
