Book Review: Linear and quasilinear elliptic equations

On Quasilinear Elliptic Equations in Ir

In this note we give a result for the operator p-Laplacian complementing a theorem by Brézis and Kamin concerning a necessary and sufficient condition for the equation −∆u = h(x)u in IR , where 0 < q < 1, to have a bounded positive solution. While Brézis and Kamin use the method of sub and super solutions, we employ variational arguments for the existence of solutions.

Large Solutions for Quasilinear Elliptic Equations

Anisotropic quasilinear elliptic equations with variable exponent

We study some anisotropic boundary value problems involving variable exponent growth conditions and we establish the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions by using as main argument critical point theory. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35J60, 35J62, 35J70.

Positive Solutions of Quasilinear Elliptic Equations

(1.2) { −∆pu = λa(x)|u|p−2u, u ∈ D 0 (Ω), has the least eigenvalue λ1 > 0 with a positive eigenfunction e1 and λ1 is the only eigenvalue having this property (cf. Proposition 3.1). This gives us a possibility to study the existence of an unbounded branch of positive solutions bifurcating from (λ1, 0). When Ω is bounded, the result is well-known, we refer to the survey article of Amann [2] and t...

Quasilinear Elliptic Equations with Critical Exponents

has no solution if Ω ⊂ R , N ≥ 3, is bounded and starshaped with respect to some point, and 2∗ = 2N/(N − 2). In (P0) the nonlinear term is a power of u with the critical exponent (N + 2)/(N − 2). This terminology comes from the fact that the continuous Sobolev imbeddings H 0 (Ω) ⊂ L(Ω), for p ≤ 2∗ and Ω bounded, are also compact except when p = 2∗. This loss of compactness reflects in that the ...
