Abstract

We study the behavior of solutions for the parametric equation Δpa1u(z)Δqa2u(z)=λu(z)q2u(z)+f(z,u(z))\mboxinΩ,λ>0,-\Delta_{p}^{a_1} u(z)-\Delta_{q}^{a_2} u(z)=\lambda |u(z)|^{q-2} u(z)+f(z,u(z)) \quad \mbox{in } \Omega,\, \lambda >0, under Dirichlet condition, where ΩRN\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N is a bounded domain with a C2C^2-boundary Ω\partial \Omega, a1,a2L(Ω)a_1,a_2 \in L^\infty(\Omega) with a1(z),a2(z)>0a_1(z),a_2(z)>0 for a.a. zΩz \in \Omega, p,q(1,)p,q \in (1,\infty) and Δpa1,Δqa2\Delta_{p}^{a_1},\Delta_{q}^{a_2} are weighted versions of pp-Laplacian and qq-Laplacian. We prove existence and nonexistence of nontrivial solutions, when f(z,x)f(z,x) asymptotically as x±x \to \pm \infty can be resonant. In the studied cases, we adopt a variational approach and use truncation and comparison techniques. When λ\lambda is large, we establish the existence of at least three nontrivial smooth solutions with sign information and ordered. Moreover, the critical parameter value is determined in terms of the spectrum of one of the differential operators.
