Multiple solutions for some strongly degenerate second order elliptic equations

We consider a boundary value problem in a bounded domain involving a degenerate operator of the form $$L(u)=-\textrm{div} (a(x)\nabla u)$$ and a suitable nonlinearity $f$. The function $a$ vanishes on smooth 1-codimensional submanifolds of $Ω$ where it is not allowed to be $C^{2}$. By using weighted Sobolev spaces we are still able to find existence of solutions which vanish, in the trace sense, on the set where $a$ vanishes.

Positive solutions for a class of nonlocal problems with possibly singular nonlinearity

We study a class of elliptic problems with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition and a nonlinear reaction term $f$ which is nonlocal depending on the $L^{p}$-norm of the unknown function. The nonlinearity $f$ can make the problem degenerate since it may even have multiple singularities in the nonlocal variable. We use fixed point arguments for an appropriately defined solution map to produce multiplicity of classical positive solutions with ordered norms.
