Asymptotic bifurcation problems for quasilinear equations existence and multiplicity results
Pavel Drábek · Topological Methods in Nonlinear Analysis · 2005
In this paper we address the existence and multiplicity results for $$ \cases -\Delta_p u -\lambda |u|^{p-2} u = h (x,u) &\text{in }\Omega, \\ u = 0 &\text{on } \partial \Omega, \endcases $$ where $p> 1$, $\Delta_p u = \text{\rm div}(| abla u|^{p-2} abla u)$, $h$ is a bounded function and the spectral parameter $\lambda$ stays ``near'' the principal eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian. We show how the bifurcation theory combined with certain asymptotic estimates yield desired results.
