Multibump nodal solutions for an indefinite nonhomogeneous elliptic problem

Analysis of PDEs 2014-07-07 v1

Abstract

We construct multibump nodal solutions of the elliptic equation Δu=a+[λu+f(,u)]μag(,u) -\Delta u=a^+[\lambda u+ f(\, \cdot\,, u)]-\mu a^- g(\, \cdot\,, u) in H01(Ω)H^1_0(\Omega), when μ\mu is large, under appropriate assumptions, for ff superlinear and subcritical and such that the eigenvalues of the associated linearized operator on H01({xΩ:a(x)>0})H^1_0(\{x\in\Omega:\: a(x)>0\}) at zero, uuλ(Δ)1(a+u)u\longmapsto u-\lambda(-\Delta)^{-1}(a^+ u), are positive. The solutions are of least energy in some Nehari-type set defined by imposing suitable conditions on orthogonal components of functions in H01(Ω)H^1_0(\Omega).
