Abstract

\noindent In this paper we study existence of solution for a class of problem of the type {ΔΦu=f(u),\mboxinΩu=0,\mboxonΩ, \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\Delta_{\Phi}{u}=f(u), \quad \mbox{in} \quad \Omega u=0, \quad \mbox{on} \quad \partial \Omega, \end{array} \right. where ΩRN\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N, N2N \geq 2, is a smooth bounded domain, f:RRf:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} is a continuous function verifying some conditions, and Φ:RR\Phi:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} is a N-function which is not assumed to satisfy the well known Δ2\Delta_2-condition, then the Orlicz-Sobolev space W01,Φ(Ω)W^{1,\Phi}_0(\Omega) can be non reflexive. As main model we have the function Φ(t)=(et21)/2\Phi(t)=(e^{t^{2}}-1)/2. Here, we study some situations where it is possible to work with global minimization, local minimization and mountain pass theorem, however some estimates are not standard for this type of problem.

Comments

In this new version, we improve the Theorems 1.2 and 1.3, in the sense that we remove the assumption $2diam(Omega)\leq 1$
