  • Nonlinear nonhomogeneous Dirichlet equations involving a superlinear nonlinearity
    Papageorgiou, Nikolaos, 1958- ; Winkert, Patrick, 1981-
    We consider a nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet equation driven by a nonlinear nonhomogeneous differential operator involving a Carathéodory function which is ▫$(p)$▫-superlinear but does not satisfy the ... Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. First we prove a three-solutions-theorem extending an earlier classical result of Z. Q. Wang [Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré, Anal. Non Linéaire 8, No. 1, 43-57 (1991)]. Subsequently, by imposing additional conditions on the nonlinearity ▫$f(x,\cdot)$▫, we produce two more nontrivial constant sign solutions and a nodal solution for a total of five nontrivial solutions. In the special case of ▫$(p,2)$▫-equations we prove the existence of a second nodal solution for a total of six nontrivial solutions given with complete sign information. Finally, we study a nonlinear eigenvalue problem and we show that the problem has at least two nontrivial positive solutions for all parameters ▫$\lambda > 0$▫ sufficiently small where one solution vanishes in the Sobolev norm as ▫$\lambda \to 0^+$▫ and the other one blows up (again in the Sobolev norm) as ▫$\lambda \to 0^+$▫.
