Infinitely many solutions to critical problems involving the p-Grushin operator

Paolo Malanchini, Giovanni Molica Bisci, Simone Secchi

Abstract:
We consider a critical problem in a bounded domain involving the p-Grushin operator. After a truncation argument, we obtain infinitely many solutions to our problem via Krasnoselskii's genus, extending a previous result of Garcia Azorero and Peral Alonso in [13] to the p-Grushin operator. A central part of our analysis is the verification of the Palais-Smale condition of the associated functional under a certain level.
