Abstract: | This paper concerns a class of nonlinear variational problems involving pointwise constraints on the second derivatives. Our aim is to describe the set of data for which these problems have solutions and to analyse the structure of the set of solutions under suitable assumptions on the asymptotic behaviour of the nonlinear term. In particular, if this term is assumed to be convex, then we can specify the number of solutions and obtain exact multiplicity results.The existence, nonexistence and multiplicity results we obtain show that the presence of constraints of this kind produces some phenomena which are typical of nonlinear elliptic equations with “jumping” nonlinearities. |
