The variable exponent BV-Sobolev capacity

Nonlinear eigenvalue problems in Sobolev spaces with variable exponent

Abstract. We study the boundary value problem −div((|∇u|1 + |∇u|2)∇u) = f(x, u) in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a smooth bounded domain in R . We focus on the cases when f±(x, u) = ±(−λ|u| u+ |u|u), where m(x) := max{p1(x), p2(x)} < q(x) < N ·m(x) N−m(x) for any x ∈ Ω. In the first case we show the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for any λ > 0. In the second case we prove that if λ is...

Γ-convergence, Sobolev norms, and BV functions

We prove that the family of functionals (Iδ) defined by Iδ(g) = ∫∫ RN×RN |g(x)−g(y)|>δ δ |x− y|N+p dx dy, ∀ g ∈ L(R ), for p ≥ 1 and δ > 0, Γ-converges in L(R ), as δ goes to 0, when p ≥ 1. Hereafter | | denotes the Euclidean norm of R . We also introduce a characterization for BV functions which has some advantages in comparison with the classic one based on the notion of essential variation o...

The Solvability of Concave-Convex Quasilinear Elliptic Systems Involving $p$-Laplacian and Critical Sobolev Exponent

In this work, we study the existence of non-trivial multiple solutions for a class of quasilinear elliptic systems equipped with concave-convex nonlinearities and critical growth terms in bounded domains. By using the variational method, especially Nehari manifold and Palais-Smale condition, we prove the existence and multiplicity results of positive solutions.

On The Sobolev-type Inequality for Lebesgue Spaces with a Variable Exponent

Characterization of Sobolev and BV Spaces

The main results of this paper are new characterizations of W (Ω), 1 < p < ∞, and BV (Ω) for Ω ⊂ R an arbitrary open set. Using these results, we answer some open questions of Brezis [11] and Ponce [32].
