The existence of positive, pointwise decaying at infinity, weak solutions to a fractional $p$-Laplacian problem in the whole space and with singular reaction is established. Truncation arguments, variational methods, as well as suitable a priori estimates are exploited.
The existence of positive strong solutions to a homogeneous Dirichlet $p$-Laplacian problem, with reaction sum of a both singular at zero and highly discontinuous nonlinearity and of a discontinuous convection term, is established. Locality arguments, based on suitable measure theoretical results (see Section 3), are employed.
In this work, the existence of solutions (in a suitable sense) to a family of inclusion systems involving fractional, possibly competing, elliptic operators, fractional convection, and homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions is established. The technical approach exploits Galerkin's method and a surjective results for multifunctions in finite dimensional spaces as well as approximating techniques.
In this paper, the existence of positive strong solutions to a Dirichlet $p$-Laplacian problem with reaction both singular at zero and highly discontinuous is investigated. In particular, it is only required that the set of discontinuity points has Lebesgue measure zero.
In this paper, a new framework for studying the existence of generalized or strongly generalized solutions to a wide class of inclusion systems involving double-phase, possibly competing differential operators, convection, and mixed boundary conditions is introduced. The technical approach exploits Galerkin's method and a surjective theorem for multifunctions in finite dimensional spaces.
In this paper, the existence of positive weak solutions to a Dirichlet problem driven by the fractional $(p,q)$-Laplacian and with reaction both weakly singular and non-locally convective (i.e., depending on the distributional Riesz gradient of solutions) is established. Due to the nature of the right-hand side, we address the problem via sub-super solution methods, combined with variational techniques, truncation arguments, as well as fixed point results.
The aim of this short paper is to show that some assumptions in [10] can be relaxed and even dropped when looking for weak solutions instead of strong ones. This improvement is a consequence of two results concerning gradient terms: an $L^\infty$ estimate, which exploits nonlinear potential theory, and a compactness result, based on the classical Riesz-Fréchet-Kolmogorov theorem.
Two opposite constant-sign solutions to a non-variational p-Laplacian system with Robin boundary conditions are obtained via sub-super-solution techniques. A third nontrivial one comes out by means of topological degree arguments.
Some recent existence, multiplicity, and uniqueness results for singular p-Laplacian systems either in bounded domains or in the whole space are presented, with a special attention to the case of convective reactions. A extensive bibliography is also provided.
The existence of a positive entire weak solution to a singular quasi-linear elliptic system with convection terms is established, chiefly through perturbation techniques, fixed point arguments, and a priori estimates. Some regularity results are then employed to show that the obtained solution is actually strong.
We obtain a pair of nontrivial solutions for a class of concave-linear-convex type elliptic problems that are either critical or subcritical. The solutions we find are neither local minimizers nor of mountain pass type in general. They are higher critical points in the sense that they each have a higher critical group that is nontrivial. This fact is crucial for showing that our solutions are nontrivial. We also prove some intermediate results of independent interest on the localization and homotopy invariance of critical groups of functionals involving critical Sobolev exponents.
In this paper, the existence of smooth positive solutions to a Robin boundary-value problem with non-homogeneous differential operator and reaction given by a nonlinear convection term plus a singular one is established. Proofs chiefly exploit sub-super-solution and truncation techniques, set-valued analysis, recursive methods, nonlinear regularity theory, as well as fixed point arguments. A uniqueness result is also presented.
A homogeneous Dirichlet problem with $(p,q)$-Laplace differential operator and reaction given by a parametric $p$-convex term plus a $q$-concave one is investigated. A bifurcation-type result, describing changes in the set of positive solutions as the parameter $λ>0$ varies, is proven. Since for every admissible $λ$ the problem has a smallest positive solution $\bar u_λ$, both monotonicity and continuity of the map $ λ\mapsto \bar u_λ$ are studied.
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.
The existence of two nontrivial smooth solutions to a semilinear Robin problem with indefinite unbounded potential and asymmetric nonlinearity $f$ is established. Both crossing and resonance are allowed. A third nonzero solution exists provided $f$ is $C^1$. Proofs exploit variational methods, truncation techniques, and Morse theory.
The existence of three smooth solutions, one negative, one positive, and one nodal, to a homogeneous Robin problem with $p$-Laplacian and Carathéodory reaction is established. No sub-critical growth condition is taken on. Proofs exploit variational as well as truncation techniques. The case $p=2$ is separately examined, obtaining a further nodal solution via Morse's theory.
We obtain nontrivial solutions of a critical $(p,q)$-Laplacian problem in a bounded domain. In addition to the usual difficulty of the loss of compactness associated with problems involving critical Sobolev exponents, this problem lacks a direct sum decomposition suitable for applying the classical linking theorem. We show that every Palais-Smale sequence at a level below a certain energy threshold admits a subsequence that converges weakly to a nontrivial critical point of the variational functional. Then we prove an abstract critical point theorem based on a cohomological index and use it to construct a minimax level below this threshold.
