On a Positive Solution for (p,q)-Laplace Equation with Indefinite Weight
Minimax theory and its applications, Tome 1 (2016) no. 1
This paper provides existence and non-existence results for a positive solution of the quasilinear elliptic equation −∆pu−μ∆qu=λ(mp(x)|u|p−2u+μmq(x)|u|q−2u) in Ω driven by the nonhomogeneous operator (p,q)-Laplacian under Dirichlet boundary condition, with μ > 0 and 1 < q < p < ∞. We show that in the case where μ > 0 the results are completely different from those for the usual eigenvalue problem for the p-Laplacian, which is retrieved when μ = 0. For instance, we prove that when μ > 0 there exists an interval of eigenvalues. Existence of positive solutions is obtained in resonant cases, too. A non-existence result is also given.
