Existence of solutions for singular double phase problems via the Nehari manifold method (Q2137694): Difference between revisions

Let \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N\) (\(N \geq 2\)) be a bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary \(\partial \Omega\). The authors consider the following singular parametric double phase problem \[-\operatorname{div} (|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u+ \mu(x)|\nabla u|^{q-2}\nabla u)=a(x) u^{-\gamma}+\lambda u^{r-1} \mbox{ in } \Omega, \quad u\big|_{\partial \Omega}=0,\] where \(1<p<N\), \(p<q<r<p^*:=Np/(N-p)\), \(0<\gamma<1\) and \(a(\cdot), \mu(\cdot) \in L^\infty(\Omega)\) satisfying some appropriate sign conditions. The authors establish the existence of at least two weak solutions of above problem, when the parameter \(\lambda>0\) varies in a suitable interval. This result is obtained using the critical point theory and Nehari manifold method.
