Abstract

In this paper we consider nonlinear biharmonic equations with $p$-Laplacian ($p\ge2$) of the form $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{l} \Delta^2 u - \Delta_p u + V (x) u = f (x, u) \text{,} u \in H^2 (\mathbb{R}^N) \text{,} \end{array} \right. $$ where the potential $V(x)$ may be indefinite. Using local linking and Morse theory, nontrivial solutions are obtained. In case the nonlinearity $f(x,\cdot)$ is odd, we obtain a sequence of large energy solutions. In the second part of the paper, for bounded positive potential, we get multiple solutions for the case that $$f(x,u)=\lambda g (x) | u |^{q - 2} u + | u |^{m - 2} u$$ with exponent $m$ critical or subcritical.

This paper is concerned with the following planar Schrodinger-Poisson system: $\begin{cases} -\Delta u +V(x)u+\lambda\phi u=u\ln u^2,&\text{in }{R}^2,\\ \Delta\phi=u^2,&\text{in }{R}^2. \end{cases}$ where $\lambda\in{R}$ is a parameter and $V\in C^1({R}^2,R}^{+})$ is a coercive potential. Due to the presence of the log...

On the generalized Fredholm alternative for the $p$-Laplacian with resonant subhomogeneous terms

Let $1 \leq q<p$ and let $\lambda_1$ be the first eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian in a bounded domain $\Omega$. We study the energy functional $$ E_\lambda(u)=\frac{1}{p}\left(\int_\Omega|\nabla u|^p\,dx -\lambda\int_\Omega|u|^p\,dx\right)-\mathcal{F}(u), \quad u\in W_0^{1,p}(\Omega), $$ where $\mathcal{F}$ is positive...

Boundary growth rates for superharmonic functions satisfying a nonlinear inequality in a Lipschitz domain

In a Lipschitz domain $$\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^N$$ , we investigate the boundary behavior of positive superharmonic functions u satisfying the nonlinear inequality $$-\Delta u(x)\le cd(x,\partial \Omega )^{-\tau }u(x)^p$$ . Based on the fact that, in some ranges of p and $$\tau $$ , the po...

The complete spectrum of the linearized $p$-Laplacian at a Sobolev extremal

Let $1<p<n$ and let $v(x)=(1+|x|^{p/(p-1)})^{-(n-p)/p}$ be the standard radial extremal for the sharp Sobolev inequality. We determine all eigenvalues and eigenspaces of the linearized $p$-Laplacian at $v$, defined by its closed quadratic form in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n,v^{p^*-2} dx)$. After decomposition into spherical harm...

Liouville theorems and symmetry of positive solutions for partially confined nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations

We study positive solutions of the partially confined stationary nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation $$-\Delta u+|y|^2u+\lambda u=g(u),\quad (y,z)\in\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{R}^{m},\quad 1\leq d<N,\quad m:=N-d.$$ The spectrum of $-\Delta + |y|^2$ is given by $[d,\infty)$. We prove that $\lambda\geq-d$ is necessary for po...
