Using variational methods, we study the existence and nonexistence of nontrivial weak solutions for the quasilinear elliptic system $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}- {\rm div}(h_1(|\nabla u|^2)\nabla u) = \frac{\mu}{|x|^2}u + \lambda F_u(x, u, \upsilon)\quad {\rm in}\,\Omega,\\- {\rm div}(h_2(|\nabla \upsilon|^2)\nabla \upsilon) = \frac{\mu}{|x|^2}\upsilon + \lambda F_\upsilon(x,u,\upsilon)\quad {\rm in}\,\Omega,\\u = \upsilon = 0 \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad {\rm in}\, \partial\Omega, \end{array}\right.$$ where \({\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N,N \geq 3}\) , is a bounded domain containing the origin with smooth boundary \({\partial \Omega ; h_i, i = 1, 2}\) , are nonhomogeneous potentials; \({(F_u, F_v) = \nabla F}\) stands for the gradient of a sign-changing C ¹-function \({F : \Omega \times \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}}\) in the variable \({{w = (u, v) \in \mathbb{R}^2}}\) ; and λ and μ are parameters.     

Existence and Multiplicity of Positive Solutions to a Quasilinear Elliptic Equation with Strong Allee Effect Growth Rate

In this paper we consider a p-Laplacian equation with strong Allee effect growth rate and Dirichlet boundary condition $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} {\rm div} (|\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u) + \lambda f(x,u)=0, &\quad x \in \Omega, \\ u=0, &\quad x \in \partial \Omega, \qquad \qquad ^ {(P_\lambda)} \end{array}\right.$$ where Ω is a bounded smooth domain in ${\mathbb{R}^N}$ for ${N \ge 1, p > 1}$ , and λ is a positive parameter. By using variational methods and a suitable truncation technique, we prove that problem (P _λ) has at least two positive solutions for large parameter and it has no positive solutions for small parameter. In addition, a nonexistence result is investigated.     

Existence Results for a Class of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis>)- Kirchhoff Problem with a Singular Weight

The present article is concerned with the following nonlocal elliptic equation involving concave and convex terms,

$$\begin{array}{ll}- M \left(\int_\Omega \frac{1}{p(x)}|\nabla u|^{p(x)}{\rm d}x\right)\Big(\Delta_{p(x)}u\Big) \!&=\! \lambda \big(g(x)|u|^{q(x)-2}u\!-\!h(x)\\ &\quad |u|^{r(x)-2}u\big), \quad x\in \Omega,\\ & u = 0,\quad x\in \partial\Omega. \end{array}$$

By means of the variational approach, we prove that the above problem admits a sequence of infinitely many solutions under suitable assumptions.

We give assumptions on g with respect to q for which for all λ >  0 and all ${f \in L^1(\Omega_T ), f \geq 0}$ , problem (P) has a positive solution. Under some additional conditions on the data, the Cauchy problem and the asymptotic behavior of the solution are also considered.

The technique used here is the variational approach.     

Capacity solution for a perturbed nonlinear coupled system

We shall give the existence of a capacity solution to a nonlinear elliptic coupled system, whose unknowns are the temperature inside a semiconductor material, u, and the electric potential, $$\varphi $$, the model problem we refer to is $$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} \Delta _p u+g(x,u)= \rho (u)|\nabla \varphi |^2 \quad \mathrm{in} \quad \Omega ,\\ {{\,\mathrm{div}\,}}(\rho (u)\nabla \varphi ) =0 \quad \mathrm{in} \quad \Omega ,\\ \varphi =\varphi _0 \quad \text{ on } \quad {\partial \Omega },\\ u=0 \quad \mathrm{on} \quad {\partial \Omega }, \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$where $$\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^N$$, $$N\ge 2$$ and $$\Delta _p u=-{\text {div}}\left( |\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u\right) $$ is the so-called p-Laplacian operator, and g a nonlinearity which satisfies the sign condition but without any restriction on its growth. This problem may be regarded as a generalization of the so-called thermistor problem, where we consider the case of the elliptic equation is non-uniformly elliptic.

The existence of solutions, for the above problem, is proved by applying a critical point theorem recently obtained by B. Ricceri as a consequence of a more general variational principle.

Multiplicity of Weak Solutions for a $(p(x), q(x))$-Kirchhoff Equation with Neumann Boundary Conditions

The aim of this study is to investigate the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for the $(p(x), q(x))$-Kirchhoff Neumann problem described by the following equation : \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\left(a_{1}+a_{2}\int_{\Omega}\frac{1}{p(x)}|\nabla u|^{p(x)}dx\right)\Delta_{p(\cdot)}u-\left(b_{1}+b_{2}\int_{\Omega}\frac{1}{q(x)}|\nabla u|^{q(x)}dx\right)\Delta_{q(\cdot)}u\+\lambda(x)\Big(|u|^{p(x)-2} u+|u|^{q(x)-2} u\Big)= f_1(x,u)+f_2(x,u) &\mbox{ in } \Omega, \\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} =0 \quad &\mbox{on} \quad \partial\Omega.\end{array}\right. \end{equation*} By employing a critical point theorem proposed by B. Ricceri, which stems from a more comprehensive variational principle, we have successfully established the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for the aforementioned problem.

Sign-definiteness of q-eigenfunctions for a super-linear p-Laplacian eigenvalue problem

We consider the following q-eigenvalue problem for the p-Laplacian $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-{\rm div}\big( |\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u\big) = \lambda \|u\|_{L^{q}(\Omega)}^{p-q}|u|^{q-2}u \quad \quad\, {\rm in} \,\,\,\, \Omega\\ \quad\quad\quad \quad \quad \quad u = 0 \quad\qquad\qquad \quad\quad \,\,{\rm on } \,\,\,\, \partial\Omega,\end{array}\right.$$ where \({\lambda\in\mathbb{R},}\) p > 1, Ω is a bounded and smooth domain of \({\mathbb{R}^{N},}\) N > 1, \({1\leq q < p^{\star}}\) , \({p^{\star}=\frac{Np}{N-p}}\) if p < N and \({p^{\star}=\infty}\) if \({p\geq N.}\) Let λ _q denote the first q-eigenvalue. We prove that in the super-linear case, \({p < q < p^{\star},}\) there exists \({\epsilon_{q}>0}\) such that if \({\lambda\in(\lambda_{q},\lambda _{q}+\epsilon_{q})}\) is a q-eigenvalue, then any corresponding q-eigenfunction does not change sign in Ω. As a consequence of this result we obtain, in the super-linear case, the isolatedness of λ _q for those Ω such that the Lane–Emden problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-{\rm div}\big(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u\big) = |u|^{q-2}u \qquad\quad\quad\quad \,\,{\rm in}\,\,\,\Omega\\ \quad\quad\quad \quad \quad \quad u = 0 \quad\qquad\qquad \quad\quad \,{\rm on } \,\,\, \partial\Omega,\end{array}\right.$$ has exactly one positive solution.
