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...
