Positive solutions for resonant (p,q)-equations with convection (Q2196467): Difference between revisions

The authors consider a parametric singular \((p,q)\)-equation with gradient dependence given by \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta_pu(z)-\Delta_qu(z)=\lambda \left [ u(z)^{-\eta}+r(z)|Du(z)|^{\tau-1}\right]+f(z,u(z)) &\text{in }\Omega,\\ u \big |_{\partial\Omega}=0, \quad u>0,\quad\lambda>0, \quad 1<q,\tau<p, \quad 0<\eta<1, \end{cases} \] with \(\Delta_r\) (\(r \in (1,+\infty)\)) being the \(r\)-Laplacian and with a reaction exhibiting the competing effects of three different terms, namely, a parametric one consisting of the sum of a singular term and of a drift term (convection) and of a nonparametric perturbation which is resonant. Applying the so-called frozen variable method along with a fixed point argument, the existence of a positive smooth solution is shown.
