Multiple Solutions for Nonlinear Discontinuous Strongly Resonant Elliptic Problems

چکیده
We consider quasilinear strongly resonant problems with discontinuous right-hand side. To develop an existence theory we pass to a multivalued problem by, roughly speaking, filling in the gaps at the discontinuity points. We prove the existence of at least three nontrivial solutions. Our approach uses the nonsmooth critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functionals due to Chang (1981) and a generalized version of the Ekeland variational principle. At the end of the paper we show that the nonsmooth Palais-Smale (PS)-condition implies the coercivity of the functional, extending this way a well-known result of the “smooth” case.

Multiple Solutions for Strongly Resonant Nonlinear Elliptic Problems with Discontinuities
We examine a nonlinear strongly resonant elliptic problem driven by the p-Laplacian and with a discontinuous nonlinearity. We assume that the discontinuity points are countable and at them the nonlinearity has an upward jump discontinuity. We show that the problem has at least two nontrivial solutions without using a multivalued interpretation of the problem as it is often the case in the liter...

The purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of a renormalized solution of perturbed elliptic problems$ -operatorname{div}Big(a(x,u,nabla u)+Phi(u) Big)+ g(x,u,nabla u) = mumbox{ in }Omega, $ in the framework of Orlicz-Sobolev spaces without any restriction on the $M$ N-function of the Orlicz spaces, where $-operatorname{div}Big(a(x,u,nabla u)Big)$ is a Leray-Lions operator defined f...
متن کاملDiscontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Approximation of Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman Equations with Cordes Coefficients | SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis | Vol. 52, No. 2 | Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
We propose an hp-version discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for fully nonlinear second-order elliptic Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations with Cordes coefficients. The method is proved to be consistent and stable, with convergence rates that are optimal with respect to mesh size, and suboptimal in the polynomial degree by only half an order. Numerical experiments on problems with nonsmo...
متن کاملExistence of at least three weak solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system
In this paper, applying two theorems of Ricceri and Bonanno, we will establish the existence of three weak solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system. Indeed, we will assign a differentiable nonlinear operator to a differential equation system such that the critical points of this operator are weak solutions of the system. In this paper, applying two theorems of R...
