For a given bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^3$, with $C^2$ boundary, and a given instant of time $T>0$, we prove the existence of a global weak solution on $(0,T)$, which satisfies a maximum principle, to a parabolic $p$-Laplacian…

We show that the elliptic equation with a non-Lipschitz right-hand side, $-\Delta u = \lambda |u|^{\beta-1}u - |u|^{\alpha-1}u$ with $\lambda>0$ and $0<\alpha<\beta<1$, considered on a smooth star-shaped domain $\Omega$ subject to zero…

Our purpose is to generalize some recent comparison principles for operators driven by p-Laplacian to a wide class of quasilinear equations including (p, q)-Laplacian. It turns out, in particular, that adding a q-Laplacian to p-Laplacian…
