Existence and nonexistence of positive solutions for parametric Neumann problems with \(p\)-Laplacian (Q2453156)

Using variational methods based on the critical point theory and suitable truncation and comparison techniques, the authors investigate multiplicity and nonexistence of positive solutions for the boundary value problem \(-\Delta_p u(x)+ \beta(x)|u(x)|^{p-2}u(x) = f(x,u(x),\lambda)\) in a bounded domain \(\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N\), \(\frac{\partial u}{\partial n_p}=0\) on \(\partial \Omega\). Here, \(\Delta_p\) denotes the \(p\)-Laplace operator, \(\frac{\partial}{\partial n_p}\) the generalized outward normal derivative, \(\lambda>0\) a spectral type parameter.
