Nontrivial solution for asymmetric ( p , 2 ) -Laplacian Dirichlet problem
Ruichang Pei, Jihui Aimee Zhang · Boundary Value Problems · 2014
We consider a class of particular -Laplacian Dirichlet problems with a right-hand side nonlinearity which exhibits an asymmetric growth at +∞ and −∞. Namely, it is linear at −∞ and superlinear at +∞. However, it need not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition on the positive semi-axis. Some existence results for a nontrivial solution are established by the mountain pass theorem and a variant version of the mountain pass theorem in the general case . Similar results are also established by combining the mountain pass theorem and a variant version of the mountain pass theorem with the Moser-Trudinger inequality in the case of .
