Abstract: | We deal with the existence and localization of positive radial solutions for Dirichlet problems involving -Laplacian operators in a ball. In particular, -Laplacian and Minkowski-curvature equations are considered. Our approach relies on fixed point index techniques, which work thanks to a Harnack-type inequality in terms of a seminorm. As a consequence of the localization result, it is also derived the existence of several (even infinitely many) positive solutions. |
