We investigate a connection between solvability of the Dirichlet problem for an infinitely degenerate elliptic operator and the validity of an Orlicz-Sobolev inequality in the associated subunit metric space. For subelliptic operators it is known that the classical Sobolev inequality is sufficient and almost necessary for the Dirichlet problem to be solvable with a quantitative bound on the solution [11]. When the degeneracy is of infinite type, a weaker Orlicz-Sobolev inequality seems to be the right substitute [7]. In this paper we investigate this connection further and reduce the gap between necessary and sufficient conditions for solvability of the Dirichlet problem.
In our work, we prove the existence of least-energy nodal solutions for nonlinear equations in which the new fractional Orlicz Laplacian is present. Precisely, we prove a compact embeddings result for weighted fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. Next, by a minimization argument on Nehari manifold and a quantitative deformation lemma, we show our desired result.
In this paper, we prove the existence of solutions to quasilinear elliptic equations on a bounded domain of $\R^N$ under subcritical Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev growth. Our proofs rely essentially on Mountain Pass Theorem with corresponding variational techniques. Furthermore, we establish the sharpness of our central assumptions. As far as we know, our approach is new, even for the Orlicz case.
This paper is concerned with the multiplicity of nontrivial solutions in an Orlicz-Sobolev space for a nonlocal problem with critical growth, involving N-functions and theory of locally Lispchitz continuous functionals.
In this paper we are concerned with some abstract results regarding to fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. Precisely, we ensure the compactness embedding for the weighted fractional Orlicz-Sobolev space into the Orlicz spaces, provided the weight is unbounded. We also obtain a version of Lions' "vanishing" Lemma for fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces, by introducing new techniques to overcome the lack of a suitable interpolation law. Finally, as a product of the abstract results, we use a minimization method over the Nehari manifold to prove the existence of ground state solutions for a class of n…
We study a nonlinear Neumann boundary value problem associated to a nonhomogeneous differential operator. Taking into account the competition between the nonlinearity and the bifurcation parameter, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of nontrivial solutions in a related Orlicz--Sobolev space.
Under appropriate assumptions on the $N(Ω)$-fucntion, the De Giorgi process is presented in the framework of Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev space to prove the Hölder continuity of fully nonlinear elliptic problems. As the applications, the Hölder continuity of the minimizers for a class of the energy functionals in Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev spaces is proved; and furthermore, the Hölder continuity of the weak solutions for a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations is provided.
It is established existence and multiplicity of solutions for strongly nonlinear problems driven by the $Φ$-Laplacian operator on bounded domains. Our main results are stated without the so called $Δ_{2}$ condition at infinity which means that the underlying Orlicz-Sobolev spaces are not reflexive.
This paper is concerned with the multiplicity of nontrivial solutions in an Orlicz-Sobolev space for a nonlocal problem involving N-functions and theory of locally Lispchitz continuous functionals.
In this paper we prove the existence of a nontrivial non-negative radial solution for a quasilinear elliptic problem. Our aim is to approach the problem variationally by using the tools of critical points theory in an Orlicz-Sobolev space. A multiplicity result is also given.
In [12] it has been shown that $(p,q)$ Sobolev inequality with $p>q$ implies the doubling condition on the underlying measure. We show that even weaker Orlicz-Sobolev inequalities, where the gain on the left-hand side is smaller than any power bump, imply doubling. Moreover, we derive a condition on the quantity that should replace the radius on the righ-hand side (which we call `superradius'), that is necessary to ensure that the space can support the Orlicz-Sobolev inequality and simultaneously be non-doubling.
The main goal this work is to prove two results like Strauss and Lions for Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. After, we use these results for study the existence of solutions for a class of quasilinear problems in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$.
In this paper, we study the interplay between Orlicz-Sobolev spaces $L^{M}$ and $W^{1,M}$ and fractional Sobolev spaces $W^{s,p}$. More precisely, we give some qualitative properties of the new fractional Orlicz-Sobolev space $W^{s,M}$, where $s\in (0,1)$ and $M$ is an $N-$function. We also study a related non-local operator, which is a fractional version of the nonhomogeneous $M$-Laplace operator. As an application, we prove existence of weak solution for a non-local problem involving the new fractional $M-$Laplacian operator.
We study the homogenization of obstacle problems in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces for a wide class of monotone operators (possibly degenerate or singular) of the $p(\cdot)$-Laplacian type. Our approach is based on the Lewy-Stampacchia inequalities, which then give access to a compactness argument. We also prove the convergence of the coincidence sets under non-degeneracy conditions.
In this paper, we prove the existence and multiplicity of solutions for a large class of quasilinear problems on a nonreflexive Orlicz-Sobolev space. Here, we use the variational methods developed by Szulkin combined with some properties of the weak$^*$ topology.
In this work we estend a recent result of Kristály, Marzantowicz and Varga concerning the existence of three critical points certain non-smooth functionals. Using this result, we guarantee the existence of three solutions to a inclusion quasilinear problem, with non-homogeneous boundary condition through Orlicz Sobolev spaces.
In this paper we prove a Lions type result for a large class of Orlicz-Sobolev space that can be nonreflexive and use this result to show the existence of solution for a large class of quasilinear problem on a nonreflexive Orlicz-Sobolev space.
We prove a version of the negative norm theorem in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. A study of continuity properties of the Bogovskii -operator between Orlicz spaces is a crucial step, of independent interest, in our approach. Applications to the problem of pressure reconstruction for Non-Newtonian fluids governed by constitutive laws, which are not necessarily power type, are presented. A key inequality for a numerical analysis of the underlying elliptic system is also derived.
In the present paper, we deal with a new continuous and compact embedding theorems for the fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces, also, we study the existence of infinitely many nontrivial solutions for a class of non-local fractional Orlicz-Sobolev Schrödinger equations whose simplest prototype is $$(-\triangle)^{s}_{m}u+V(x)m(u)=f(x,u),\ x\in\mathbb{R}^{d},$$ where $0<s<1$, $d\geq2$ and $(-\triangle)^{s}_{m}$ is the fractional $M$-Laplace operator. The proof is based on the variant Fountain theorem established by Zou.
In this paper, we define the fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces, and we prove some important results of these spaces. The main result is to show the continuous and compact embedding for these spaces. As an application, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution for a non local problem involving the fractional M-Laplacian operator.
We study the following boundary value problem (P)\ \ \ \ \ {-\mathrm{div}(a(|\nabla u|)\nabla u)=f(x,u),\ & in $Ω$, u=0, & on $\partialΩ$} with nonhomogeneous principal part. By assuming the nonlinearity $f(x, t)$ being subcritical growth, some abstract results of problem (P) are obtained: (1) Regularity; (2) Orlicz-Sobolev versus Hölder local minimizer; (3) Strong comparison principle. Applying these abstract results and critical point theory, we prove the existence of multiple solutions of problem (P) in an Orlicz-Sobolev space.
In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions to a general type of Kirchhoff equations in magnetic fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. Specifically, we appeal to Critical Point Theory to prove the existence of non-trivial solutions under the so-called Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. We also state the existence of ground-state solutions. Moreover, multiplicity results which yield the existence of an unbounded sequence of solutions are also provided. Finally, we show existence under a weak-type Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition formulated in the framework of Orlicz spaces…
In this article we prove modular and norm Pólya-Szegö inequalities in general fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces by using the polarization technique. We introduce a general framework which includes the different definitions of theses spaces in the literature, and we establish some of its basic properties such as the density of smooth functions. As a corollary we prove a Rayleigh-Faber-Krahn type inequality for Dirichlet eigenvalues under nonlocal nonstandard growth operators.
In this paper, we study the existence of non-negative non-trivial solutions for a class of double-phase problems where the source term is a Caratheodory function that satisfies the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz type condition in the framework of Sobolev-Orlicz spaces with variable exponents in complete compact Riemannian n-manifolds. Our approach is based on the Nehari manifold and some variational techniques. Furthermore, the Hölder inequality, continuous and compact embedding results are proved.
We develop arguments on convexity and minimization of energy functionals on Orlicz-Sobolev spaces to investigate existence of solution to the equation $\displaystyle -\mbox{div} (ϕ(|\nabla u|) \nabla u) = f(x,u) + h \mbox{in} Ω$ under Dirichlet boundary conditions, where $Ω\subset {\bf R}^{N}$ is a bounded smooth domain, $ϕ: (0,\infty)\longrightarrow (0,\infty)$ is a suitable continuous function and $f: Ω\times {\bf R} \to {\bf R}$ satisfies the Carathéodory conditions, while $h$ is a measure.
In the present paper, we deal with a new compact embedding theorem for a subspace of the new fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. We also establish some useful inequalities which yields to apply the variational methods. Using these abstract results, we study the existence of infinitely many nontrivial solutions for a class of fractional Orlicz-Sobolev Schrödinger equations whose simplest prototype is $$(-\triangle)^{s}_{m}+V(x)m(u)u=f(x,u),\ x\in\mathbb{R}^{N},$$ where $s\in ]0,1[$, $N\geq2$, $(-\triangle)^{s}_{m}$ is fractional $M$-Laplace operator and the nonlinearity $f$ is sublinear as $|u| \…
In this article we consider a homogeneous eigenvalue problem ruled by the fractional $g-$Laplacian operator whose Euler-Lagrange equation is obtained by minimization of a quotient involving Luxemburg norms. We prove existence of an infinite sequence of variational eigenvalues and study its behavior as the fractional parameter $s\uparrow 1$ among other stability results.
In this paper we study a non-homogeneous eigenvalue problem involving variable growth conditions and a potential $V$. The problem is analyzed in the context of Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. Connected with this problem we also study the optimization problem for the particular eigenvalue given by the infimum of the Rayleigh quotient associated to the problem with respect to the potential $V$ when $V$ lies in a bounded, closed and convex subset of a certain variable exponent Lebesgue space.
The purpose of this paper is to study a class of double phase problems, with a singular term and a superlinear parametric term on the right-hand side. Using the method of Nehari manifold combined with the fibering maps, we prove that for all small values of the parameter λ > 0, there exist at least two non-trivial positive solutions. Our results extend the previous works Papageorgiou, Repovus, and Vetro [24] and Liu, Dai, Papageorgiou, and Winkert [21], from the case of Musielak-Orlicz Sobolev space, when exponents p and q are constant, to the case of Sobolev-Orlicz spaces with variable expone…
In this paper, we investigate the existence of weak solution for a fractional type problems driven by a nonlocal operator of elliptic type in a fractional Orlicz-Sobolev space, with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We first extend the fractional Sobolev spaces $W^{s,p}$ to include the general case $W^sL_A$, where $A$ is an N-function and $s\in (0,1)$. We are concerned with some qualitative properties of the space $W^sL_A$ (completeness, reflexivity and separability). Moreover, we prove a continuous and compact embedding theorem of these spaces into Lebesgue spaces.
In this manuscript we study the following optimization problem: given a bounded and regular domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ we look for an optimal shape for the "$\mathrm{W}-$vanishing window" on the boundary with prescribed measure over all admissible profiles in the framework of the Orlicz-Sobolev spaces associated to constant for the "Sobolev trace embedding". In this direction, we establish existence of minimizer profiles and optimal sets, as well as we obtain further properties for such extremals. Finally, we also place special emphasis on analyzing the corresponding optimization problem i…
In this work, we study the existence and multiplicity of solutions for a class of problems involving the $ϕ$-Laplacian operator in a bounded domain, where the nonlinearity has a critical growth. The main tool used is the variational method combined with the genus theory for even functionals.
In this paper we define the notion of nonlocal magnetic Sobolev spaces with non-standard growth for Lipschitz magnetic fields. In this context we prove a Bourgain - Brezis - Mironescu type formula for functions in this space as well as for sequences of functions. Finally, we deduce some consequences such as the $Γ-$convergence of modulars and convergence of solutions for some non-local magnetic Laplacian allowing non-standard growth laws to its local counterpart.
We consider a nonlinear eigenvalue problem for some elliptic equations governed by general operators including the $p$-Laplacian. The natural framework in which we consider such equations is that of Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. we exhibit two positive constants $λ_{0}$ and $λ_{1}$ with $λ_{0}\leqλ_{1}$ such that $λ_1$ is an eigenvalue of the problem while any value $λ<λ_{0}$ cannot be so. By means of Harnack-type inequalities and a strong maximum principle, we prove the isolation of $λ_{1}$ on the right side. We emphasize that throughout the paper no $Δ_2$-condition is needed.
In the first part of this article we deal with the existence of at least three non-trivial weak solutions of a nonlocal problem with nonstandard growth involving a nonlocal Robin type boundary condition. The second part of the article is devoted to study eigenvalues and minimizers of several nonlocal problems for the fractional $g-$Laplacian $(-Δ_g)^s$ with different boundary conditions, namely, Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin.
The kernel of composition operator $C_T$ on Orlicz-Sobolev space is obtained. Using the kernel, a necessary and a sufficient condition for injectivity of composition operator $C_T$ has been established. Composition operators on Orlicz-Sobolev space with finite ascent as well as infinite ascent have been characterized.
The aim of this work is to establish the existence of multi-peak solutions for the following class of quasilinear problems \[ - \mbox{div}\big(ε^{2}ϕ(ε|\nabla u|)\nabla u\big) + V(x)ϕ(| u|)u = f(u)\quad \mbox{in} \quad \mathbb{R}^{N}, \] where $ε$ is a positive parameter, $ N\geq 2$, $V, f$ are continuous functions satisfying some technical conditions and $ϕ$ is a $C^{1}$-function.

We study the boundary value problem $-{\rm div}(\log(1+ |\nabla u|^q)|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)=f(u)$ in $Ω$, $u=0$ on $\partialΩ$, where $Ω$ is a bounded domain in $\RR^N$ with smooth boundary. We distinguish the cases where either $f(u)=-λ|u|^{p-2}u+|u|^{r-2}u$ or $f(u)=λ|u|^{p-2}u-|u|^{r-2}u$, with $p$, $q>1$, $p+q<\min\{N,r\}$, and $r<(Np-N+p)/(N-p)$. In the first case we show the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for any $λ>0$. In the second case we prove the existence of a nontrivial weak solution if $λ$ is sufficiently large. Our approach relies on adequate variational methods …

In this paper, we investigate the existence of weak solution for a Kirchhoff type problem driven by a nonlocal operator of elliptic type in a fractional Orlicz-Sobolev space, with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions {\small$$ (D_{K,A}) \hspace*{0.5cm} \left\{ \begin{array}{clclc} M\left( \displaystyle \int_{\R^{2N}}A\left( [u(x)-u(y)] K(x,y)\right) dxdy\right) \mathcal{L}^K_A u & = & f(x,u) & \text{ in }& Ω, \hspace*{7cm} u & = & 0 \hspace*{0.2cm} \hspace*{0.2cm} & \text{ in } & \R^N\setminus Ω. \label{eq1} \end{array} \right. $$ } Where $\mathcal{L}^K_A$ is a nonlocal operator with sing…
This paper is principally devoted to revisit the remarkable works of Keller and Osserman and generalize some previous results related to the those for the class of quasilinear elliptic problem $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{l} {\rm{div}} \left( ϕ(|\nabla u|)\nabla u\right) = a(x)f(u)\quad \mbox{in } Ω,\\ u\geq0\ \ \mbox{in}\ Ω,\ \ u=\infty\ \mbox{on}\ \partialΩ, \end{array} \right. $$ where either $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ with $N \geq 1$ is a smooth bounded domain or $Ω= \mathbb{R}^N$.

In this paper, the semilinear elliptic systems with Dirichlet boundary value are considered \begin{align} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} -Δv=f(u) & \mathrm{in}\ Ω, -Δu=g(v) & \mathrm{in}\ Ω, u=0, \ v=0 & \mathrm{on}\ \partialΩ, \end{array} \right. \end{align} We extend the notion of subcritical growth from polynomial growth to N-function growth. Under N-function growth, nontrivial solutions are obtained via Orlicz-Sobolev spaces and variational methods. It's also noteworthy that the nonlinear term $g(v)$ does not have to satisfy the usual Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. So, in a sense, we enrich re…
In this article we define a class of fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces on Carnot groups and, in the spirit of the celebrated results of Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu and of Maz'ya-Shaposhnikova, we study the asymptotic behavior of the Orlicz functionals when the fractional parameter goes to $1$ and $0$.
In this paper, we study existence, multiplicity and concentration of positive solutions for the following class of quasilinear problems \[ - Δ_Φu + V(εx)ϕ(\vert u\vert)u = f(u)\quad \mbox{in} \quad \mathbb{R}^{N} \,\,\, ( N\geq 2 ), \] where $Φ(t) = \int_{0}^{\vert t\vert}ϕ(s)sds$ is a N-function, $ Δ_Φ$ is the $Φ$-Laplacian operator, $ε$ is a positive parameter, $V : \mathbb{R}^{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ is a continuous function and $f : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ is a $C^{1}$-function.
In this paper we define the fractional order Orlicz-Sobolev spaces, and prove its convergence to the classical Orlicz-Sobolev spaces when the fractional parameter $s\uparrow 1$ in the spirit of the celebrated result of Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu. We then deduce some consequences such as $Γ-$convergence of the modulars and convergence of solutions for some fractional versions of the $Δ_g$ operator as the fractional parameter $s\uparrow 1$.
