Existence of the Fučík type spectrums for the generalized \(p\)-Laplace operators (Q765853): Difference between revisions

The author proves the existence of uncountably many \((\alpha,\beta)\in\mathbb{R}^2\) for the generalized \(p\)-Laplace equations with a sign changing solution by variational methods and Morse theory. The author considers the generalized \(p\)-Laplace equations \(-\text{div} A(x,\nabla)=\alpha u_+^{p-1}-\beta u_{-}^{p-1}\) in a bounded domain \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N\) with \(C^2\) boundary under the Neumann boundary condition, where a map \(A\) from \(\bar{\Omega}\times\mathbb{R}^N\) to \(\mathbb{R}^N\) satisfies certain regularity conditions. As a special case, the author gives the existence of the Fučik type spectrums for the \(p\)-Laplacian, but here the operator \(A\) is not supposed to be \((p-1)\)-homogeneous in the second variable.
