We present a result of existence of infinitely many solutions for the Dirichlet problem involving the p-Laplacian in annular domains, when $p\leq N$, contouring the failure of compactness of $W^{1,p}(Ω)$ in $C^0(\barΩ)$ applying a variable change.
It is proved that the minimal Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian in an annulus is a monotonically decreasing function of the displacement of the center of the smaller disc. The maximal value of the minimal eigenvalue is attained when the annulus is formed by two concentric discs.
In this paper, we build infinitely many non-radial sign-changing solutions to the critical problem: \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{rlll} -Δu&=|u|^{\frac{4}{N-2}}u, &\hbox{ in }Ω,\\ u&=0, &\hbox{ on }\partialΩ. \end{array}\right. \eqno(P) \end{equation*} on the annulus $Ω:=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^N: a<|x|<b\}$, $N\geq 3.$ In particular, for any integer $k$ large enough, we build a non-radial solution which look like the unique positive solution $u_0$ to $(P)$ crowned by $k$ negative bubbles arranged on a regular polygon with radius $r_0$ such that $r_0^{\frac{N-2}{2}}u_0(r_0)=:\displaystyle\m…
In this work, the following fractional Laplacian problem with pure critical nonlinearity is considered \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} (-Δ)^{s} u=|u|^{\frac{4s}{N-2s}}u, &\mbox{in}\ \mathbb{R}^N, \\ u\in \mathcal{D}^{s,2}(\mathbb{R}^N), \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where $s\in (0,1)$, $N$ is a positive integer with $N\geq 3$, $(-Δ)^{s}$ is the fractional Laplacian operator. We will prove that this problem has infinitely many non-radial sign-changing solutions.
We consider the fully nonlinear problem \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -F(x,D^2u)=|u|^{p-1}u & \text{in $Ω$}\\ u=0 & \text{on $\partialΩ$} \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $F$ is uniformly elliptic, $p>1$ and $Ω$ is either an annulus or a ball in $\Rn$, $n\geq2$. \\ We prove the following results: \begin{itemize} \item[i)] existence of a positive/negative radial solution for every exponent $p>1$, if $Ω$ is an annulus; \item[ii)] existence of infinitely many sign changing radial solutions for every $p>1$, characterized by the number of nodal regions, if $Ω$ is an annulus; \item[iii)] existenc…
In this paper, we consider the following Schrödinger-Poisson system with $p$-laplacian \begin{equation} \begin{cases} -Δ_{p}u+V(x)|u|^{p-2}u+ϕ|u|^{p-2}u=f(u)\qquad&x\in\mathbb{R}^{3},\newline -Δϕ=|u|^{p}&x\in\mathbb{R}^{3}. \end{cases}\notag \end{equation} We investigate the existence of multiple sign-changing solutions. By using the method of invariant sets of descending flow, we prove that this system has infinitely many sign-changing solutions. This system is new one coupled by Schrödinger equation of $p$-laplacian with a Poisson equation. Our results complement the study made by Zhaoli Liu…
Let $1<p<N$, $p^{*}=Np/(N-p)$, $0<s<p$, $p^{*}(s)=(N-s)p/(N-p)$, and $\Om\in C^{1}$ be a bounded domain in $\R^{N}$ with $0\in\bar{\Om}.$ In this paper, we study the following problem \[ \begin{cases} -Δ_{p}u=μ|u|^{p^{*}-2}u+\frac{|u|^{p^{*}(s)-2}u}{|x|^{s}}+a(x)|u|^{p-2}u, & \text{in }\Om,\\ u=0, & \text{on }\pa\Om, \end{cases} \] where $μ\ge0$ is a constant, $\De_{p}$ is the $p$-Laplacian operator and $a\in C^{1}(\bar{\Om})$. By an approximation argument, we prove that if $N>p^{2}+p,a(0)>0$ and $Ω$ satisfies some geometry conditions if $0\in\partialΩ$, say, all the principle curvatures of $\…
We prove the existence of infinitely many solutions to an elliptic problem by borrowing the techniques from algebraic topology. The solution(s) thus obtained will also be proved to be bounded.
We study the dependence of least nontrivial critical levels of the energy functional corresponding to the zero Dirichlet problem $-Δ_p u = f(u)$ in a bounded domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ upon domain perturbations. Assuming that the nonlinearity $f$ is superlinear and subcritical, we establish Hadamard-type formulas for such critical levels. As an application, we show that among all (generally eccentric) spherical annuli $Ω$ least nontrivial critical levels attain maximum if and only if $Ω$ is concentric. As a consequence of this fact, we prove the nonradiality of least energy nodal solutions…
In this article we study the existence of weak solution, existence of ground state solution using Nehari manifold and existence of infinitely many solutions using Fountain theorem and Dual fountain theorem for a class of doubly nonlocal Kirchhoff-Choquard type equations involving the variable-order fractional $p(\cdot)-$ Laplacian operator. Here the nonlinearity does not satisfy the well known Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz type condition.
We prove the existence of infinitely many solutions to a class of non-symmetric Dirichlet problems with exponential nonlinearities. Here the domain $Ω\subset\subset \mathbb{R}^{2l}$ where $2l$ is the order of the equation. Considered are the problem with no symmetry requirements on the domain, the radial problem on an annulus, and the radial problem on a ball with a Hardy potential term.
Let $1<p<+\infty$ and let $Ω\subset\mathbb R^N$ be either a ball or an annulus. We continue the analysis started in [Boscaggin, Colasuonno, Noris, ESAIM Control Optim. Calc. Var. (2017)], concerning quasilinear Neumann problems of the type \[ -Δ_p u = f(u), \quad u>0 \mbox{ in } Ω, \quad \partial_νu = 0 \mbox{ on } \partialΩ. \] We suppose that $f(0)=f(1)=0$ and that $f$ is negative between the two zeros and positive after. In case $Ω$ is a ball, we also require that $f$ grows less than the Sobolev-critical power at infinity. We prove a priori bounds of radial solutions, focusing in particular…
In this paper, we are concern with the multiplicity of solutions for a p-Laplacian problem. A weaker super-quadratic assumptions is required on the nonlinearity. Under the weaker condition we give a new proof for the infinite solutions having a prescribed number of nodes to the problem. It turns out that the weaker condition on nonlinearity suffices to guarantee the infinitely many solutions. At the same time, a global characterization of the critical values of the nodal radial solutions are given.
We provide fundamental properties of the first eigenpair for fractional $p$-Laplacian eigenvalue problems under singular weights, which is related to Hardy type inequality, and also show that the second eigenvalue is well-defined. We obtain a-priori bounds and the continuity of solutions to problems with such singular weights with some additional assumptions. Moreover, applying the above results, we show a global bifurcation emenating from the first eigenvalue, the Fredholm alternative for non-resonant problems, and obtain the existence of infinitely many solutions for some nonlinear problems …
For $1<p<\infty$, we consider the following problem $$ -Δ_p u=f(u),\quad u>0\text{ in }Ω,\quad\partial_νu=0\text{ on }\partialΩ, $$ where $Ω\subset\mathbb R^N$ is either a ball or an annulus. The nonlinearity $f$ is possibly supercritical in the sense of Sobolev embeddings; in particular our assumptions allow to include the prototype nonlinearity $f(s)=-s^{p-1}+s^{q-1}$ for every $q>p$. We use the shooting method to get existence and multiplicity of non-constant radial solutions. With the same technique, we also detect the oscillatory behavior of the solutions around the constant solution $u\e…
We use a variant of the fountain Theorem to prove the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for the following fractional p-Laplace equation (-Δ)^{s}_{p}u+V(x)|u|^{p-2}u=f(x,u) in R^N, where $s \in (0,1)$,$ p \geq 2$,$ N \geq 2$, $(-Δ)^{s}_{p}$ is the fractional $p$-Laplace operator, the nonlinearity f is $p$-superlinear at infinity and the potential V(x) is allowed to be sign-changing.
This paper is devoted to the following class of nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equations: \begin{equation*} (-Δ)^{s} u + V(x)u = f(x,u) + λg(x,u), \quad \text{in}\: \mathbb{R}^N, \end{equation*} where $s\in (0,1)$, $N>2s$, $(-Δ)^{s}$ stands for the fractional Laplacian, $λ\in \mathbb{R}$ is a parameter, $V\in C(\mathbb{R}^N,R)$, $f(x,u)$ is superlinear and $g(x,u)$ is sublinear with respect to $u$, respectively. We prove the existence of infinitely many high energy solutions of the aforementioned equation by means of the Fountain theorem. Some recent results are extended and sharply improved…
We investigate the existence of infinitely many radially symmetric solutions to the following problem $$(-Δ_p)^s u=g(u) \ \ \textrm{ in } \ \ \mathbb{R}^N, \ \ u\in W^{s,p}(\mathbb{R}^N),$$ where $s\in (0,1)$, $2 \leq p < \infty$, $sp \leq N $, $2 \leq N \in \mathbb{N}$ and $(-Δ_p)^s$ is the fractional $p$-Laplacian operator. We treat both of cases $sp=N$ and $sp<N.$ The nonlinearity $g$ is a function of Berestycki-Lions type with critical exponential growth if $sp=N$ and critical polynomial growth if $sp<N$. We also prove the existence of a ground state solution for the same problem.
In the present work we investigate the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for the Choquard Logarithmic equation $(-Δ)^{\frac{1}{2}} u + au + λ(\ln|\cdot|\ast |u|^{2})u = f(u) \textrm{ in } \mathbb{R}$, for $ a>0 $, $ λ>0 $ and a nonlinearity $f$ with exponential critical growth. We prove the existence of a nontrivial solution at the mountain pass level and a nontrivial ground state solution under exponential critical and subcritical growth. Morever, when $ f $ has subcritical growth we guarantee the existence of infinitely many solutions, via genus theory.
We study the bifurcation of solutions of semilinear elliptic boundary value problems of the form \begin{align*} \begin{aligned} -Δu &= f_λ(|x|,u,|\nabla u|) &&\text{in }Ω, u &= 0 &&\text{on }\partialΩ, \end{aligned} \end{align*} on an annulus $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, with a concave-convex nonlinearity, a special case being the nonlinearity first considered by Ambrosetti, Brezis and Cerami: $f_λ(|x|,u,|\nabla u|)=λ|u|^{q-2}u + |u|^{p-2}u$ with $1<q<2<p$. Although the trivial solution $u_0\equiv0$ is nondegenerate if $λ=0$ we prove that $(λ_0,u_0)=(0,0)$ is a bifurcation point. In fact, the bifur…
We study an eigenvalue problem for the infinity-Laplacian on bounded domains. We prove the existence of the principal eigenvalue and a corresponding positive eigenfunction. The work also contains existence results when the parameter, in the equation, is less than the first eigenvalue. A comparison principle applicable to these problems is also proven. Some additional results are shown, in particular, that on star- shaped domains and on C^2 domains higher eigenfunctions change sign. When the domain is a ball, we prove that the first eigenfunction has one sign, radial principal eigenfunction exi…
This paper concerns the existence of normalized solutions to a class of $(2,q)$-Laplacian equations in all the possible cases according to the value of $p$ with respect to the critical exponent $2(1+2/N)$. In the $L^2$-subcritical case, we study a global minimization problem and obtain a ground state solution. While in the $L^2$-critical case, we prove several nonexistence results, extended also in the $L^q$-critical case. At last, we derive a ground state and infinitely many radial solutions in the $L^2$-supercritical case. Compared with the classical Schrödinger equation, the $(2,q)$-Laplaci…
In this paper, we consider the following problem involving fractional Laplacian operator: \begin{equation}\label{eq:0.1} (-Δ)^α u= |u|^{2^*_α-2-\varepsilon}u + λu\,\, {\rm in}\,\, Ω,\quad u=0 \,\, {\rm on}\, \, \partialΩ, \end{equation} where $Ω$ is a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $\varepsilon\in [0, 2^*_α-2)$, $0<α<1,\, 2^*_α= \frac {2N}{N-2α}$. We show that for any sequence of solutions $u_n$ of \eqref{eq:0.1} corresponding to $\varepsilon_n\in [0, 2^*_α-2)$, satisfying $\|u_n\|_{H}\le C$ in the Sobolev space $H$ defined in \eqref{eq:1.1a}, $u_n$ converges strongly in $H$ provided…

We prove the existence of infinitely many nonnegative solutions to the following nonlocal elliptic partial differential equation involving singularities \begin{align} (-Δ)_{p(\cdot)}^{s} u&=\fracλ{|u|^{γ(x)-1}u}+f(x,u)~\text{in}~Ω,\nonumber u&=0~\text{in}~\mathbb{R}^N\setminusΩ,\nonumber \end{align} where $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^N,\, N\geq2$ is a smooth, bounded domain, $λ>0$, $s\in (0,1)$, $γ(x)\in(0,1)$ for all $x\in\barΩ$, $N>sp(x,y)$ for all $(x,y)\in\barΩ\times\barΩ$ and $(-Δ)_{p(\cdot)}^{s}$ is the fractional $p(\cdot)$-Laplacian operator with variable exponent. The nonlinear function $f$ sa…
In this paper, we obtain nonexistence results of positive solutions, and also the existence of an unbounded sequence of solutions that changing sign for some critical problems involving conformally invariant operators on the standard unit sphere, and the fractional Laplacian operator in the Euclidean space. Our arguments are based on a reduction of the initial problem in the Euclidean space to an equivalent problem on the standard unit sphere and vice versa, what together to blow up arguments, a variant of Pohozaev's type identity, a refinement of regularity results for this type operators, an…
In the present work we obtain the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for the Choquard logarithmic equation $(-Δ)_{p}^{s}u + |u|^{p-2}u + (\ln|\cdot|\ast |u|^{p})|u|^{p-2}u = f(u) \textrm{ \ in \ } \mathbb{R}^N $ , where $ N=sp $, $ s\in (0, 1) $, $ p>2 $, $ a>0 $, $ λ>0 $ and $f: \mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ a continuous nonlinearity with exponential critical and subcritical growth. We guarantee the existence of a nontrivial solution at the mountain pass level and a nontrivial ground state solution under critical and subcritical growth. Morever, when $ f $ has subcritical…
In this paper, we deal with the following elliptic type problem $$ \begin{cases} (-Δ)_{q(.)}^{s(.)}u + λVu = α\left\vert u\right\vert^{p(.)-2}u+β\left\vert u\right\vert^{k(.)-2}u & \text{ in }Ω, \\[7pt] u =0 & \text{ in }\mathbb{R}^{n}\backslash Ω, \end{cases} $$ where $q(.):\overlineΩ\times \overlineΩ\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a measurable function and $s(.):\mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow (0,1)$ is a continuous function, $n>q(x,y)s(x,y)$ for all $(x,y)\in Ω\times Ω$, $(-Δ)_{q(.)}^{s(.)}$ is the variable-order fractional Laplace operator, and $V$ is a positive continuous potential.…

We study the question of the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for nonlocal equations of fractional Laplacian type with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary data, in presence of a superlinear term. Starting from the well-known Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition, we consider different growth assumptions on the nonlinearity, all of superlinear type. We obtain three different existence results in this setting by using the Fountain Theorem, which extend some classical results for semilinear Laplacian equations to the nonlocal fractional setting.
This paper is devoted to study the existence and multiplicity solutions for the nonlinear Schrödinger-Poisson systems involving fractional Laplacian operator: \begin{equation}\label{eq*} \left\{ \aligned &(-Δ)^{s} u+V(x)u+ ϕu=f(x,u), \quad &\text{in }\mathbb{R}^3, &(-Δ)^{t} ϕ=u^2, \quad &\text{in }\mathbb{R}^3, \endaligned \right. \end{equation} where $(-Δ)^α$ stands for the fractional Laplacian of order $α\in (0\,,\,1)$. Under certain assumptions on $V$ and $f$, we obtain infinitely many high energy solutions for \eqref{eq*} without assuming the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition by using the fo…
We investigate the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions for a nonlinear Kirchhoff type quasilinear elliptic system on the whole space $\mathbb{R}^N$. We assume that the nonlinear term satisfies the locally super-$(m_1,m_2)$ condition, that is, $\lim_{|(u,v)|\rightarrow+\infty}\frac{F(x,u,v)}{|u|^{m_1}+|v|^{m_2}}=+\infty \mbox{ for a.e. } x \in G$ where $G$ is a domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, which is weaker than the well-known Ambrosseti-Rabinowitz condition and the naturally global restriction, $\lim_{|(u,v)|\rightarrow+\infty}\frac{F(x,u,v)}{|u|^{m_1}+|v|^{m_2}}=+\infty \mbox{ for a.e. } …
We prove the hydrodynamic limit for the symmetric exclusion process with long jumps given by a mean zero probability transition rate with infinite variance and in contact with infinitely many reservoirs with density $α$ at the left of the system and $β$ at the right of the system. The strength of the reservoirs is ruled by $κ$N --$θ$ > 0. Here N is the size of the system, $κ$ > 0 and $θ$ $\in$. Our results are valid for $θ$ $\le$ 0. For $θ$ = 0, we obtain a collection of fractional reaction-diffusion equations indexed by the parameter $κ$ and with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Their solutions…
We consider nonlinear second order elliptic problems of the type \[ -Δu=f(u) \text{ in } Ω, \qquad u=0 \text{ on } \partial Ω, \] where $Ω$ is an open $C^{1,1}$-domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 2$, under some general assumptions on the nonlinearity that include the case of a sublinear pure power $f(s)=|s|^{p-1}s$ with $0<p<1$ and of Allen-Cahn type $f(s)=λ(s-|s|^{p-1}s)$ with $p>1$ and $λ>λ_2(Ω)$ (the second Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian). We prove the existence of a least energy nodal (i.e. sign changing) solution, and of a nodal solution of mountain-pass type. We then give explicit e…
We investigate the existence of least energy solutions and infinitely many solutions for the following nonlinear fractional equation (-Δ)^{s} u = g(u) \mbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^{N}, where $s\in (0,1)$, $N\geq 2$, $(-Δ)^{s}$ is the fractional Laplacian and $g: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is an odd $\mathcal{C}^{1, α}$ function satisfying Berestycki-Lions type assumptions. The proof is based on the symmetric mountain pass approach developed by Hirata, Ikoma and Tanaka in \cite{HIT}. Moreover, by combining the mountain pass approach and an approximation argument, we also prove the existence o…
In the present work we briefly explain how to adapt techniques already used in fractional and $p$-fractional Laplacian cases to obtain the existence of a nontrivial solution at the mountain pass level and a nontrivial ground state solution, for the critical case, and the existence of infinitely many solutions, for the subcritical case, to the Choquard Logarithmic equation, $-Δ_N u + a(x)|u|^{N-2}u + λ(\ln|\cdot|\ast |u|^{N})|u|^{N-2}u = f(u) \textrm{ in } \mathbb{R}^N $, where $ a:\mathbb{R}^N \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $, $ λ>0 $, $ N \geq 3 $ and $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow [0, \infty) $ is conti…
We study existence of minimizers of the least gradient problem \[\inf_{v \in BV_g} \int_Ωφ(x, Dv),\] where $BV_g=\{v \in BV(Ω): \int_{\partial Ω}gv=1\}$, $φ(x,p): Ω\times \R^n \rightarrow \R$ is a convex, continuous, and homogeneous function of degree $1$ with respect to the $p$ variable, and $g$ satisfies the comparability condition $\int_{\partial Ω} g dS=0$. We prove that for every $0\not \equiv g \in L^{\infty}(\partial Ω)$ there are infinitely many minimizers in $BV(Ω)$. Moreover there exists a divergence free vector field $T\in (L^{\infty}(Ω))^n$ that determines the structure of level se…
In this paper we prove the existence of infinitely many nontrivial solutions of the following equations driven by a nonlocal integro-differential operator $L_K$ with concave-convex nonlinearities and homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions \begin{eqnarray*} \mathcal{L}_{K} u + μ\, |u|^{q-1}u + λ\,|u|^{p-1}u &=& 0 \quad\text{in}\quad Ω, \\[2mm] u&=&0 \quad\mbox{in}\quad\mathbb{R}^N\setminusΩ, \end{eqnarray*} where $Ω$ is a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N>2s$, $s\in(0, 1)$, $0<q<1<p\leq \frac{N+2s}{N-2s}$. Moreover, when $L_K$ reduces to the fractional laplacian operator $-(-Δ)^s $…
