In this paper, we use bifurcation method to investigate the existence and multiplicity of one-sign solutions of the $p$-Laplacian involving a linear/superlinear nonlinearity with zeros. To do this, we first establish a bifurcation theorem from infinity for nonlinear operator equation with homogeneous operator. To deal with the superlinear case, we establish several topological results involving superior limit.
This paper is concerned with the study of a nonlinear problems involving the fractional p(x)-Laplacian operator. By means of the Berkovits degree theory, we prove the existence of nontrivial weak solutions for this problem. The appropriate functional framework for this problems is the fractional Sobolev spaces with variable exponent.
Applying the method of moving planes in integral forms, we establish radial symmetry for positive solutions to a class of semilinear equations involving the fractional Laplacian in the unit ball and obtain Liouville type theorems concerning the non-existence of positive solutions in the half space. The regularity of solutions are also investigated.

In this paper we study the nonlinear Dirichlet problem involving p(x)-Laplacian (hemivariational inequality) with nonsmooth potential. By using nonsmooth critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functionals due to Chang and the properties of variational Sobolev spaces, we establish conditions which ensure the existence of solution for our problem.

In this paper, we study the existence of three solutions for a Kirchhoff equation involving the nonlocal fractional p-Laplacian considering Sobolev and Hardy nonlinearities at subcritical and critical growths. The proof is based on Mountain Pass Theorem, Ekeland's variational principle and constrained minimization in Nehari sets.
We consider nonlinear elliptic problems involving a nonlocal operator: the square root of the Laplacian in a bounded domain with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. For positive solutions to problems with power nonlinearities, we establish existence and regularity results, as well as a priori estimates of Gidas-Spruck type. In addition, among other results, we prove a symmetry theorem of Gidas-Ni-Nirenberg type.
We study the local structure and the regularity of free boundaries of segregated critical configurations involving the square root of the laplacian. We develop an improvement of flatness theory and, as a consequence of this and Almgren's monotonicity formula, we obtain partial regularity (up to a small dimensional set) of the nodal set, thus extending the known resultsfor the standard diffusion to some anomalous case.
The main goal is to establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which the fractional semilinear elliptic equation $Δ^{\fracα{2}} u=ρ(x)\,φ(u)$ admits nonnegative nontrivial bounded solutions in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^N$.
In this work, we study a quasilinear elliptic problem involving the 1-laplacian operator, with a discontinuous, superlinear and subcritical nonlinearity involving the Heaviside function $H(\cdot - β)$. Our approach is based on an analysis of the associated p-laplacian problem, followed by a thorough analysis of the asymptotic behaviour or such solutions as $p \to 1^+$. We study also the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions, as $β\to 0^+$ and we prove that it converges to a solution of the original problem, without the discontinuity in the nonlinearity.
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 existence, multiplicity, and bifurcation results for $p$-Laplacian problems involving critical Hardy-Sobolev exponents. Our results are mainly for the case $λ\ge λ_1$ and extend results in the literature for $0 < λ< λ_1$. In the absence of a direct sum decomposition, we use critical point theorems based on a cohomological index and a related pseudo-index.
We study the Lane-Emden system involving the logarithmic Laplacian: $$ \begin{cases} \ \mathcal{L}_Δu(x)=v^{p}(x) ,& x\in\mathbb{R}^{n},\\ \ \mathcal{L}_Δv(x)=u^{q}(x) ,& x\in\mathbb{R}^{n}, \end{cases} $$ where $p,q>1$ and $\mathcal{L}_Δ$ denotes the Logarithmic Laplacian arising as a formal derivative $\partial_s|_{s=0}(-Δ)^s$ of fractional Laplacians at $s=0.$ By using a direct method of moving planes for the logarithmic Laplacian, we obtain the symmetry and monotonicity of the positive solutions to the Lane-Emden system. We also establish some key ingredients needed in order to apply the m…
Let $0<α<2$ be any real number. In this paper, we investigate the following semilinear equations involving the fractional Laplacian \begin{equation}(-\bigtriangleup)^{α/2} u(x)=f(u),\end{equation} on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\mathbb{R}^n_+$. Applying a direct method of moving planes for the fractional Laplacian, we prove symmetry and nonexistence of positive solutions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\mathbb{R}^n_+$ under mild conditions on $f$.
The eigenvalue problem for the p-Laplace operator with Robin boundary condition is considered in this paper. A Faber-Krahn type inequality is proved. More precisely, it is shown that amongst all the domains of fixed volume, the ball has the smallest first eigenvalue.
In this paper we prove the validity of Gibbons' conjecture for the quasilinear elliptic equation $ -Δ_p u = f(u) $ on $\mathbb{R}^N.$ The result holds true for $(2N+2)/(N+2) < p < 2$ and for a very general class of nonlinearity $f$.
In this paper, we consider a fractional p-Laplacian system with both concave-convex nonlinearities and sign-changing weight functions in bounded domains. With the help of the Nehari\ manifold, we prove that the system has at least two nontrivial solutions when the pair of the parameters $(λ,μ)$ belongs to a certain subset of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$
In this paper, we show the existence of a sequence of eigenvalues for a Dirichlet problem involving two mixed fractional operators with different orders. We provide lower and upper bounds for the sum of the eigenvalues. Applications of mixed fractional operators with different orders include medicine, plasma physics, and population dynamics.
In this paper, we consider a non-local diffusion equation involving the fractional $p(x)$-Laplacian with nonlinearities of variable exponent type. Employing the sub-differential approach we establish the existence of local solutions. By combining the potential well theory with the Nehari manifold, we obtain the existence of global solutions and finite time blow-up of solutions. Moreover, we study the asymptotic stability of global solutions as time goes to infinity in some variable exponent Lebesgue spaces.
In this paper we deal with a Dirichlet problem for an elliptic equation involving the $1$-Laplacian operator and a source term. We prove that, when the growth of the source is subcritical, there exist two bounded nontrivial solutions to our problem. Moreover, a Pohozaev type identity is proved, which holds even when the growth is supercritical. We also show explicit examples of our results.
The authors of this paper study singular phenomena(vanishing and blowing-up in finite time) of solutions to the homogeneous $\hbox{Dirichlet}$ boundary value problem of nonlinear diffusion equations involving $p(x)$-\hbox{Laplacian} operator and a nonlinear source. The authors discuss how the value of the variable exponent $p(x)$ and initial energy(data) affect the properties of solutions. At the same time, we obtain the critical extinction and blow-up exponents of solutions.
We consider the Dirichlet problem for positive solutions of the equation $-Δ_p (u) = f(u)$ in a convex, bounded, smooth domain $Ω\subset\R^N$, with $f$ locally Lipschitz continuous. \par We provide sufficient conditions guarantying $L^{\infty} $ a priori bounds for positive solutions of some elliptic equations involving the $p$-Laplacian and extend the class of known nonlinearities for which the solutions are $L^{\infty} $ a priori bounded. As a consequence we prove the existence of positive solutions in convex bounded domains.
For a class of competition-diffusion nonlinear systems involving the square root of the Laplacian, including the fractional Gross-Pitaevskii system, we prove that uniform boundedness implies Holder boundedness for every exponent less than 1/2, uniformly as the interspecific competition parameter diverges. Moreover we prove that the limiting profile is Holder continuous of exponent 1/2. This system arises, for instance, in the relativistic Hartree-Fock approximation theory for mixtures of Bose-Einstein condensates in different hyperfine states.
In this paper, we consider the analogous of the obtacle problem in $H_0^1(Ω)$, on the space $W^{1,p}_0(Ω)$. We prove an existence and uniqueness of the result. In a second time, we define the optimal control problem associated. The results, here enclosed, generalize the one obtained by D.R. Adams, S. Lenhard
We consider positive singular solutions (i.e. with a non-removable singularity) of a system of PDEs driven by $p$-Laplacian operators and with the additional presence of a nonlinear first order term. By a careful use of a rather new version of the moving plane method, we prove the symmetry of the solutions. The result is already new in the scalar case.
In this paper, we study the existence of least energy sign-changing solutions for a Kirchhoff-type problem involving the fractional Laplacian operator. By using the constraint variational method and quantitative deformation lemma, we obtain a least energy nodal solution ub for the given problem. Moreover, we show that the energy of ub is strictly larger than twice the ground state energy. We also give a convergence property of u_b as b goes to 0, where b is regarded as a parameter.
We consider semi-stable, radially symmetric, and decreasing solutions of a reaction equation involving the p-Laplacian, where the reaction term is a locally Lipschitz function, and the domain is the unit ball. For this class of radial solutions, which includes local minimizers, we establish pointwise and Sobolev estimates which are optimal and do not depend on the specific nonlinear reaction term. Under standard assumptions we also prove the regularity of the corresponding extremal solution.
We obtain existence, multiplicity, and bifurcation results for the Brezis-Nirenberg problem for the fractional $p$\nobreakdash-Laplacian operator, involving critical Hardy-Sobolev exponents. Our results are mainly extend results in the literature for $α=0$. In the absence of an explicit formula for a minimizer in the fractional Hardy-Sobolev inequality $α\not= 0$, we get around this difficulty by working with certain asymptotic estimates for minimizers recently obtained in \cite{MM}.
This is a survey on problems involving equations $-\operatorname{div}{\Cal A}(x,\nabla u)=μ$, where $μ$ is a Radon measure and ${\Cal A}:\bold {R}^n\times\bold R^n\to \bold R^n$ verifies Leray-Lions type conditions. We shall discuss a potential theoretic approach when the measure is nonnegative. Existence and uniqueness, and different concepts of solutions are discussed for general signed measures.
In this manuscript, we will study the asymptotic behavior for a class of nonlocal diffusion equations associated with the weighted fractional $\wp(\cdot)-$Laplacian operator involving constant/variable exponent. In the case of constant exponents, under some appropriate conditions, we will study the existence of solutions and asymptotic behavior of solutions by employing the subdifferential approach and we will study the problem when $\wp$ goes to $\infty$. Already, for case the weighted fractional $\wp(\cdot)$-Laplacian operator, we will also study the asymptotic behavior of the problem soluti…
We prove the existence of solutions for a class of quasilinear problems involving variable exponents and with nonlinearity having critical growth. The main tool used is the variational method, more precisely, Ekeland's Variational Principle and the Mountain Pass Theorem.
In this article we consider the nonlinear system involving the $p$-Laplacian $$\left\{\begin{array}{lc} |u^\prime |^{p-2} u^{\prime \prime} = u^{p-1} v^p& |v^\prime |^{p-2} v^{\prime \prime} = v^{p-1} u^p&\ {\rm on} \ \R, u\geq 0, v\geq 0& \end{array}\right.$$ for which we prove symmetry, asymptotic behavior and non degeneracy properties. This can help to a better understanding to what happens in the $N$ dimensional case, for which several authors prove a De Giorgi Type result under some additional growth and monotonicity assumptions.

In this paper, we consider the nonlocal elliptic problems in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, which involve finite many critical exponents. By using endpoint refined Hardy--Sobolev inequality, fractional Coulomb--Sobolev space and variational method, we establish the existence of nonnegative solution. Our results generalize some results obtained by Yang and Wu [Adv. Nonlinear Stud. (2017) \cite{Yang2017}].
We study the regularity of segregated profiles arising from competition - diffusion models, where the diffusion process is of nonlocal type and is driven by the fractional Laplacian of power $s \in (0,1)$. Among others, our results apply to the regularity of the densities of an optimal partition problem involving the eigenvalues of the fractional Laplacian. More precisely, we show $C^{0,α^*}$ regularity of the density, where the exponent $α^*$ is explicit and is given by \begin{equation*} α^* = \begin{cases} s & \text{for $s \in (0,1/2]$}\\ 2s-1 &\text{for $s \in (1/2,1]$}.\end{cases} \end{equ…
The main goal of this paper is the study of two kinds of nonlinear problems depending on parameters in unbounded domains. Using a nonstandard variational approach, we first prove the existence of bounded solutions for nonlinear eigenvalue problems involving the fractional Laplace operator and nonlinearities that have subcritical growth. In the second part, based on a variational principle of Ricceri [16], we study a fractional nonlinear problem with two parameters and prove the existence of multiple solutions.
