A new approach to the existence of quasiperiodic solutions for second-order asymmetric \(p\)-Laplacian differential equations (Q725180)

Summary: For \(p \geq 2\) and \(\phi_p(s) : = |s|^{p - 2} s\), we propose a new estimate approach to study the existence of Aubry-Mather sets and quasiperiodic solutions for the second-order asymmetric \(p\)-Laplacian differential equations \(\phi_p (x^\prime))^\prime + \lambda \phi_p(x^+) - \mu \phi_p(x^-) = \psi(t, x)\), where \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\) are two positive constants satisfying \(\lambda^{- 1 / p} + \mu^{- 1 / p} = 2 / \omega\) with \(\omega \in \mathbb{R}^+\), \(\psi(t, x) \in C^{0,1}(\mathbf{S}^p \times \mathbb{R})\) is a continuous function, \(2 \pi_p\)-periodic in the first argument and continuously differentiable in the second one, \(x^\pm = \max \{\pm x, 0 \}\), \(\pi_p = 2 \pi(p - 1)^{1 / p} / p \sin (\pi / p)\), and \(\mathbf{S}^p = \mathbb{R} / 2 \pi_p \mathbb{Z}\). Using the Aubry-Mather theorem given by Pei, we obtain the existence of Aubry-Mather sets and quasiperiodic solutions under some reasonable conditions. Particularly, the advantage of our approach is that it not only gives a simpler estimation procedure, but also weakens the smoothness assumption on the function \(\psi(t, x)\) in the existing literature.
