A concave–convex problem with a variable operator
We study the following elliptic problem - A(u) = λuq with Dirichlet boundary conditions, where A(u)(x)=Δu(x)χD1(x)+Δpu(x)χD2(x) is the Laplacian in one part of the domain, D1, and the p-Laplacian (with p> 2) in the rest of the domain, D2. We show that this problem exhibits a concave–convex na...

We study the following elliptic problem - A(u) = λuq with Dirichlet boundary conditions, where A(u)(x)=Δu(x)χD1(x)+Δpu(x)χD2(x) is the Laplacian in one part of the domain, D1, and the p-Laplacian (with p> 2) in the rest of the domain, D2. We show that this problem exhibits a concave–convex nature for 1 < q< p- 1. In fact, we prove that there exists a positive value λ∗ such that the problem has no positive solution for λ> λ∗ and a minimal positive solution for 0 < λ< λ∗. If in addition we assume that p is subcritical, that is, p< 2 N/ (N- 2) then there are at least two positive solutions for almost every 0 < λ< λ∗, the first one (that exists for all 0 < λ< λ∗) is obtained minimizing a suitable functional and the second one (that is proven to exist for almost every 0 < λ< λ∗) comes from an appropriate (and delicate) mountain pass argument. © 2017, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. |
