Abstract:
We present some results on the existence and multiplicity of solutions for boundary value problems involving equations of the type -Δpu = f(x, u) + λg(x, u), where Δp is the p-Laplacian operator (p > 1), λ is a real parameter and f, g : Ω × RR, Ω ⊂ RN, are two Carathéodory functions. The approach is variational and mainly based on a critical point theorem by B. Ricceri.
