Existence and regularity results for nonlinear elliptic equations in Orlicz spaces

We are concerned with the existence and regularity of the solutions to the Dirichlet problem, for a class of quasilinear elliptic equations driven by a general differential operator, depending on $(x,u,\nabla u)$, and with a convective term $f$. The assumptions on the members of the equation are formulated in terms of Young's functions, therefore we work in the Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. After establishing some auxiliary properties, that seem new in our context, we present two existence and two regularity results. We conclude with several examples.

Regular solutions for nonlinear elliptic equations, with convective terms, in Orlicz spaces

We establish some existence and regularity results to the Dirichlet problem, for a class of quasilinear elliptic equations involving a partial differential operator, depending on the gradient of the solution. Our results are formulated in the Orlicz Sobolev spaces and under general growth conditions on the convection term. The sub and supersolutions method is a key tool in the proof of the existence results.

Boundedness of solutions to Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin problems for elliptic equations in Orlicz spaces

Boundary value problems for second-order elliptic equations in divergence form, whose nonlinearity is governed by a convex function of non-necessarily power type, are considered. The global boundedness of their solutions is established under boundary conditions of Dirichlet, or Neumann, or Robin type. A decisive role in the results is played by optimal forms of Orlicz-Sobolev embeddings and boundary trace embeddings, which allow for critical growths of the coefficients.

Multiplicity results for critical $p$-Laplacian problems

We prove the existence of $N$ distinct pairs of nontrivial solutions for critical $p$-Laplacian problems in ${\mathbb R}^N$, as well as in bounded domains. To overcome the difficulties arising from the lack of compactness, we use a recent global compactness result of Mercuri and Willem.
