A unified treatment of degenerate nonlocal elliptic problems

Analysis of PDEs 2026-03-25 v1

Abstract

We develop a unified framework for a broad class of nonlocal elliptic problems, encompassing a wide spectrum of nonlocal terms, including the classical Kirchhoff and Carrier-type equations as particular cases, and nonlinearities having sublinear or asymptotically linear growth. By combining the study of a suitable auxiliary problem and fixed-point techniques with careful parameter analysis, we establish existence, non-existence, and multiplicity results for positive solutions. Our method reveals sharp parameter thresholds and provides a comprehensive description of the solution set. Finally, for powerlike nonlinearities (including superlinear and singular ones) we provide a more direct approach, based on homogeneity.
