Existence and multiplicity results for p-q-Laplacian boundary value problems

Ananta Acharya, Ujjal Das, Ratnasingham Shivaji

Abstract:
We study positive solutions to the boundary value problem

where $q \in (1,p)$ and Ω is a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, N >1 with smooth boundary, λ is a positive parameter, and $f:[0,\infty) \to (0,\infty)$ is C1, nondecreasing, and p-sublinear at infinity i.e. $\lim_{t \to \infty} f(t)/t^{p-1}=0$. We discuss existence and multiplicity results for classes of such f. Further, when N=1, we discuss an example which exhibits S-shaped bifurcation curves.
