Orlicz spaces and nonlinear elliptic eigenvalue problems

Orlicz Spaces and Nonlinear Elliptic Eigenvalue Problems

Nonlinear elliptic differential equations of order m acting in a space of m dimensions often occupy a special position in more general theories. In this paper we shall study one aspect of this situation. The nonlinear problem under consideration will be the variational approach to eigenvalue problems for nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations as developed by the author in [l], [2], [...

Renormalized Solutions for Strongly Nonlinear Elliptic Problems with Lower Order Terms and Measure Data in Orlicz-Sobolev Spaces

The purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of a renormalized solution of perturbed elliptic problems$ -operatorname{div}Big(a(x,u,nabla u)+Phi(u) Big)+ g(x,u,nabla u) = mumbox{ in }Omega,  $ in the framework of Orlicz-Sobolev spaces without any restriction on the $M$ N-function of the Orlicz spaces, where $-operatorname{div}Big(a(x,u,nabla u)Big)$ is a Leray-Lions operator defined f...

Variational Methods for Nonlinear Elliptic Eigenvalue Problems

In the present note, we give a simple general proof for the existence of solutions of the following two types of variational problems: PROBLEM A. To minimize fa F(x> u, • • • , Du)dx over a subspace VofW>*(tt). PROBLEM B. TO minimize ƒ« F(x, w, • • • , Du)dx for u in V with / a G(x, u, • • • , D^u)dx^c. The solution of the first problem yields a weak solution of a corresponding elliptic boundar...

Spectral asymptotics and bifurcation for nonlinear multiparameter elliptic eigenvalue problems

This paper is concerned with the nonlinear multiparameter elliptic eigenvalue problem u′′(r) + N − 1 r u′(r) + μu(r)− k ∑ i=1 λifi(u(r)) = 0, 0 < r < 1, u(r) > 0, 0 ≤ r < 1, u′(0) = 0, u(1) = 0, where N ≥ 1, k ∈ N and μ, λi ≥ 0 (1 ≤ i ≤ k) are parameters. The aim of this paper is to study the asymptotic properties of eigencurve μ(λ, α) = μ(λ1, λ2, · · · , λk, α) with emphasis on the phenomenon ...
