Existence of multiple solutions for quasilinear elliptic equations in R^N

Honghui Yin, Zuodong Yang

Abstract:
In this article, we establish the multiplicity of positive weak solution for the quasilinear elliptic equation
$$\displaylines{ -\Delta_p u+\lambda|u|^{p-2}u=f(x) |u|^{s-2 }u+h(x)|u|^{r-2}u\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^N,\cr u>0\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^N,\cr u\in W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^N) }$$
We show how the shape of the graph of f affects the number of positive solutions. Our results extend the corresponding results in [21].
