چکیده
In this paper, exploiting variational methods, the existence of three weak solutions for a class of elliptic equations involving a general operator in divergence form and with Dirichlet boundary condition is investigated. Several special cases are analyzed. In conclusion, for completeness, a concrete example of an application is presented by finding the existence of three nontrivial weak solutions for an uniformly elliptic second-order problem on a bounded Euclidean domain.

Existence of three solutions for a class of quasilinear elliptic systems involving the $p(x)$-Laplace operator
The aim of this paper is to obtain three weak solutions for the Dirichlet quasilinear elliptic systems on a bonded domain. Our technical approach is based on the general three critical points theorem obtained by Ricceri.
متن کاملMultiple solutions for p(x)-Laplacian type equations
We prove the existence of at least three weak solutions for the Dirichlet problem when the nonlinear term f is sublinear and p(x) is greater than n. This Dirichlet problem involves a general elliptic operator in divergence form (in particular, a p(x)-Laplace operator). Our method relies upon a recent critical point theorem obtained by Bonanno and Marano, and is combined with the theory of varia...
متن کاملExistence and Multiplicity of Weak Solutions for a Class of Degenerate Nonlinear Elliptic Equations
The goal of this paper is to study a nonlinear elliptic equation in which the divergence form operator −div(a(x,∇u)) is involved. Such operators appear in many nonlinear diffusion problems, in particular in the mathematical modeling of non-Newtonian fluids (see [5] for a discussion of some physical background). Particularly, the p-Laplacian operator −div(|∇u|p−2∇u) is a special case of the oper...
متن کاملPositive solutions to second order semi-linear elliptic equations
Here G ⊆ R (N ≥ 2) is an unbounded domain, and L is a second-order elliptic operator. We mainly confine ourselves to the cases F (x, u) = W (x)u with real p and W (x) a real valued function on G, and F (x, u) = g(u) with g : R→ R continuous and g(0) = 0. The operator L = H − V is of Schrödinger type, namely V = V (x) is a real potential and H = −∆ or more generally H = −∇ · a · ∇ is a second or...
