Periodic \(p\)-Laplacian with nonlocal terms (Q858666)

The authors study the existence of non-trivial solutions for a periodic \(p\)-Laplacian with nonlocal term of the form \[ u_t - \text{div }(| \nabla u| ^{p-2}\nabla u) = (m - \Phi [u])u,\quad \text{in } Q_T \] with the boundary value condition \[ u(x,t) = 0,\quad \text{for } (x,t) \in \partial\Omega \times (0,T) \] and periodic in time \[ u(x,0) = u(x,T),\quad \text{for } x \in \Omega, \] where \(p>2\), \(\Omega\) is a bound domain in \(\mathbb R^n\) with smooth boundary, \(Q_T = \Omega\times (0,T)\). The nonlocal term \(\Phi [u]: L^2 \to R\) is a bounded continuous functional. Under suitable assumptions on the nonlocal term \(\Phi\), the authors prove the existence of a generalized solution to the problem based on the theory of Leray-Schauder degree.
