An existence result for a class of quasilinear elliptic eigenvalue problems in unbounded domains

We consider a nonlinear eigenvalue problem under Robin boundary conditions in a domain with (possibly noncompact) smooth boundary. The problem involves a weighted p-Laplacian operator and subcritical nonlinearities satisfying Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz type conditions. Using Morse theory and a cohomological local splitting as in Degiovanni et al. [5], we prove the existence of a nontrivial weak solution for all (real) values of the eigenvalue parameter. Our result is new even in the semilinear case p = 2 and complements some recent results obtained in Autuori et al. [1].

On a $p$--Laplace equation with multiple critical nonlinearities

Using the Mountain--Pass Theorem of Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz we prove that $-Δ_p u-μ|x|^{-p}{u^{p-1}}=|x|^{-s}{u^{\crits-1}}+u^{\crit-1}$ admits a positive weak solution in $\rn$ of class $\dunp\cap C^1(\rn\setminus\{0\})$, whenever $μ<μ_1$, and $μ_1=[(n-p)/p]^p$. The technique is based on the existence of extremals of some Hardy--Sobolev type embeddings of independent interest. We also show that if $u\in\dunp$ is a weak solution in $\rn$ of $-Δ_p u-μ|x|^{-p}{|u|^{p-2}u}=|x|^{-s}{|u|^{\crits-2}u}+|u|^{q-2}u$, then $u\equiv0$ when either $1 \crit$ and $u$ is also of class $L^\infty_\text{\scriptsize{loc}}(\rn\setminus\{0\})$.
