Uniqueness for degenerate elliptic sublinear problems in the absence of dead cores
Electronic journal of differential equations, Tome 2004 (2004)
In this work we study the problem

$ -\mathop{\rm div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)=\lambda f(u) $

in the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^N$, with $u=0$ on the boundary, where $p$, and $\lambda$ is a real parameter. We assume that the nonlinearity $f$ has a zero $\bar{u}_0$ of order $k\ge p-1$. Our main contribution is showing that there exists a unique positive solution of this problem for large enough $\lambda$ and maximum close to $\bar{u}_0$. This will be achieved by means of a linearization technique, and we also prove the new result that the inverse of the $p$-Laplacian is differentiable around positive solutions.
