Multiplicity results for double eigenvalue problems involving the \(p\)-Laplacian (Q842035)

Consider the double eigenvalue problem \[ \begin{cases} -[h_{p}(u')]' +\gamma h_{p}(u)\in\lambda\partial^{c}F(t,u)\,\,\text{a.e. \(t\in [0,T]\)},\\ (h_{p}(u')(0),-h_{p}(u')(T)) \in \mu\partial j(u(0),u(T)), \end{cases} \tag{1} \] where \(\gamma,\lambda,\mu>0, u:I\to \mathbb{R}^{n}\,(I=[0,T])\) is of class \(C^{1},\) \(h_{p}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to \mathbb{R}^{n}\) is the homeomorphism defined by \(h_{p}(x)=|x|^{p-2}x\) for all \(x\in\mathbb{R}^{n},\) where \(p>0\) is fixed and \(|\cdot|\) denotes the Euclidean norm in \(\mathbb{R}^{n}, h_{p}(u')\) is absolutely continuous, \(\partial^{c}F(t,u)\) denotes the generalized gradient (in the sense of Clarke) of \(F(t,\cdot)\), \(\partial j\) denotes the subdifferential of \(j\) in the sense of convex analysis. Theorem. Let \(F:I\times\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R}, j:\mathbb{R}^{n}\times\mathbb{R}^{n}\to (-\infty,+\infty)\) and some hypotheses are satisfied. Then for each fixed \(\mu>0\) there exists an open interval \(\Lambda_{\mu}\subset(0,+\infty)\) such that each \(\lambda\in\Lambda_{\mu}\) the problem (1) has at least two nontrivial solutions.
