Abstract

We establish multiplicity results for the following class of quasilinear problems {ΔΦu=f(x,u)\mboxinΩ,u=0\mboxonΩ,\leqno(P) \left\{ \begin{array}{l} -\Delta_{\Phi}u=f(x,u) \quad \mbox{in} \quad \Omega, \\ u=0 \quad \mbox{on} \quad \partial \Omega, \end{array} \right. \leqno{(P)} where ΔΦu=div(φ(x,u)u)\Delta_{\Phi}u=\text{div}(\varphi(x,|\nabla u|)\nabla u) for a generalized N-function Φ(x,t)=0tφ(x,s)sds\Phi(x,t)=\int_{0}^{|t|}\varphi(x,s)s\,ds. We consider ΩRN\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N to be a smooth bounded domain that contains two disjoint open regions ΩN\Omega_N and Ωp\Omega_p such that ΩNΩp=\overline{\Omega_N}\cap\overline{\Omega_p}=\emptyset. The main feature of the problem (P)(P) is that the operator ΔΦ-\Delta_{\Phi} behaves like ΔN-\Delta_N on ΩN\Omega_N and Δp-\Delta_p on Ωp\Omega_p. We assume the nonlinearity f:Ω×RRf:\Omega\times\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} of two different types, but both behaves like eαtNN1e^{\alpha|t|^\frac{N}{N-1}} on ΩN\Omega_N and tp2t|t|^{p^*-2}t on Ωp\Omega_p as t|t| is large enough, for some α>0\alpha>0 and p=NpNpp^*=\frac{Np}{N-p} being the critical Sobolev exponent for 1<p<N1<p<N. In this context, for one type of nonlinearity ff, we provide multiplicity of solutions in a general smooth bounded domain and for another type of nonlinearity ff, in an annular domain Ω\Omega, we establish existence of multiple solutions for the problem (P)(P) that are nonradial and rotationally nonequivalent.
