On (p, q) − equations with concave terms

We consider a (p, q)− equation (1 < q < p, p ≥ 2) with a parametric concave term and a (p − 1)− linear perturbation. We show that the problem have five nontrivial smooth solutions: four of constant sign and the fifth nodal. When q = 2 (i.e., (p, 2) equation) we show that the problem has six no...

Resumo:We consider a (p, q)− equation (1 < q < p, p ≥ 2) with a parametric concave term and a (p − 1)− linear perturbation. We show that the problem have five nontrivial smooth solutions: four of constant sign and the fifth nodal. When q = 2 (i.e., (p, 2) equation) we show that the problem has six nontrivial smooth solutions, but we do not specify the sign of the sixth solution. Our approach uses variational methods, together with truncation and comparison techniques and Morse theory.
