A model of capillary phenomena in \(\mathbb{R}^N\) with subcritical growth (Q2192702)

Summary: This paper deals with the nonlinear Dirichlet problem of capillary phenomena involving an equation driven by the \(p\)-Laplacian-like differential operator in \(\mathbb{R}^N\). We prove the existence of at least one nontrivial nonnegative weak solution, when the reaction term satisfies a sub-critical growth condition and the potential term has certain regularities. We apply the energy functional method and weaker compactness conditions.
