Comparison Principle for Elliptic Equations with Mixed Singular Nonlinearities

Degenerate elliptic equations with singular nonlinearities

The behavior of the “minimal branch” is investigated for quasilinear eigenvalue problems involving the p-Laplace operator, considered in a smooth bounded domain of RN , and compactness holds below a critical dimension N #. The nonlinearity f (u) lies in a very general class and the results we present are new even for p = 2. Due to the degeneracy of p-Laplace operator, for p = 2 it is crucial to...

Existence of Radial Solutions for Quasilinear Elliptic Equations with Singular Nonlinearities

We prove the existence of radial solutions of the quasilinear elliptic equation div(A(|Du|)Du) + f(u) = 0 in R, n > 1, where f is either negative or positive for small u > 0, possibly singular at u = 0, and growths subcritically for large u. Our proofs use only elementary arguments based on a variational identity. No differentiability assumptions are made on f .

Multiple Positive Solutions for Singular Elliptic Equations with Concave-Convex Nonlinearities and Sign-Changing Weights

Recommended by Pavel Drabek We study existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the following Dirichlet equations: −Δu − μ/|x| 2 u λfx|u| q−2 u gx|u| 2 * −2 u in Ω, u 0 on ∂Ω, where 0 ∈ Ω ⊂ R N N ≥ 3 is a bounded domain with smooth boundary ∂Ω, λ > 0, 0 ≤ μ < μ N − 2 2 /4, 2 * 2N/N − 2, 1 ≤ q < 2, and f, g are continuous functions on Ω which are somewhere positive but which may change...

Semilinear Elliptic Equations with Generalized Cubic Nonlinearities

A semilinear elliptic equation with generalized cubic nonlinearity is studied. Global bifurcation diagrams and the existence of multiple solutions are obtained and in certain cases, exact multiplicity is proved.
