Multiplicity results for the \(p(x)\)-Laplacian equation with singular nonlinearities and nonlinear Neumann boundary condition (Q1656094): Difference between revisions

Summary: We investigate the singular Neumann problem \(P_\lambda\) involving the \(p(x)\)-Laplace operator: \[ - \Delta_{p(x)} u + | u |^{p (x) - 2} u = 1 / u^{\delta (x)} + f (x, u)\quad\text{in }\Omega; \] \[u > 0\quad\text{in }\Omega;\ |\nabla u|^{p(x) - 2} \partial u / \partial \nu = \lambda u^{q(x)}\quad\text{on } \partial \Omega, \] where \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N\) \((N \geq 2)\) is a bounded domain with \(C^2\) boundary, \(\lambda\) is a positive parameter, and \(p(x)\), \(q (x)\), \(\delta (x)\), and \(f (x, u)\) are assumed to satisfy assumptions (H0)--(H5) in the introduction. Using some variational techniques, we show the existence of a number \(\Lambda \in (0, \infty)\) such that problem \((P_\lambda)\) has two solutions for \(\lambda \in (0, \Lambda)\), one solution for \(\lambda = \Lambda\), and no solutions for \(\lambda > \Lambda\).
