Abstract

For 1<p<21<p<2 and qq large, we prove the existence of two positive, nonconstant, radial and radially nondreacreasing solutions of the supercritical equation Δpu+up1=uq1-\Delta_p u+u^{p-1}=u^{q-1} under Neumann boundary conditions, in the unit ball of RN\mathbb R^N. We use a variational approach in an invariant cone. We distinguish the two solutions upon their energy: one is a ground state inside a Nehari-type subset of the cone, the other is obtained via a mountain pass argument inside the Nehari set. As a byproduct of our proofs, we detect the limit profile of the low energy solution as qq\to\infty and show that the constant solution 1 is a local minimum on the Nehari set.
