Some Remarks on Biharmonic Elliptic Problems with Positive, Increasing and Convex Nonlinearities

چکیده
We study the existence of positive solutions for a fourth order semilinear elliptic equation under Navier boundary conditions with positive, increasing and convex source term. Both bounded and unbounded solutions are considered. When compared with second order equations, several differences and difficulties arise. In order to overcome these difficulties new ideas are needed. But still, in some cases we are able to extend only partially the well-known results for second order equations. The theoretical and numerical study of radial solutions in the ball also reveal some new phenomena, not available for second order equations. These phenomena suggest a number of intriguing unsolved problems, which we quote in the final section.

Multiplicity result to some Kirchhoff-type biharmonic equation involving exponential growth conditions
In this paper, we prove a multiplicity result for some biharmonic elliptic equation of Kirchhoff type and involving nonlinearities with critical exponential growth at infinity. Using some variational arguments and exploiting the symmetries of the problem, we establish a multiplicity result giving two nontrivial solutions.

In this work, we study the existence of non-trivial multiple solutions for a class of quasilinear elliptic systems equipped with concave-convex nonlinearities and critical growth terms in bounded domains. By using the variational method, especially Nehari manifold and Palais-Smale condition, we prove the existence and multiplicity results of positive solutions.
متن کاملExistence and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for $p$-Laplacian system with nonlinearities of concave-convex type and sign-changing weight functions
This paper is concerned with the existence of multiple positive solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system involving concave-convex nonlinearities and sign-changing weight functions. With the help of the Nehari manifold and Palais-Smale condition, we prove that the system has at least two nontrivial positive solutions, when the pair of parameters $(lambda,mu)$ belongs to a c...

In this paper, we investigate the existence of positive solutions for the ellipticequation $Delta^{2},u+c(x)u = lambda f(u)$ on a bounded smooth domain $Omega$ of $R^{n}$, $ngeq2$, with Navier boundary conditions. We show that there exists an extremal parameter$lambda^{ast}>0$ such that for $lambda< lambda^{ast}$, the above problem has a regular solution butfor $lambda> lambda^{ast}$, the probl...
متن کاملCombined effects of concave-convex nonlinearities and indefinite potential in some elliptic problems
We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by the p-Laplacian and a reaction which exhibits the combined effects of concave (that is, sublinear) terms and of convex (that is, superlinear) terms. The concave term is indefinite and the convex term need not satisfy the usual in such cases Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. We prove a bifurcation-type result describing the set of positive solut...
