We prove the existence of one positive, one negative, and one sign-changing solution of a $p$-Laplacian equation on $\mathbb{R}^N$, with a $p$-superlinear subcritical term. Sign-changing solutions of quasilinear elliptic equations set on…
We introduce a new method for proving the nonexistence of positive supersolutions of elliptic inequalities in unbounded domains of $\mathbb{R}^n$. The simplicity and robustness of our maximum principle-based argument provides for its…
In this paper, we study the multiplicity of positive solutions for the p-Laplacian systems with sign-changing weight functions. Using the decomposition of the Nehari manifold, we prove that an elliptic system has at least two positive…
In this paper we investigate maximum principles for functionals defined on solutions to special partial differential equations of elliptic type, extending results by Payne and Philippin. We apply such maximum principles to investigate one…
We use an iteration procedure propped up by a a classical form of the maximum principle to show the existence of solutions to a nonlinear Poisson equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. These methods can be applied to the case of…
We prove a result of existence of regular solutions and a maximum principle for solutions to a parabolic p-Laplacian system with convective term.
In this paper, we use bifurcation method to investigate the existence and multiplicity of one-sign solutions of the $p$-Laplacian involving a linear/superlinear nonlinearity with zeros. To do this, we first establish a bifurcation theorem…
We show that the classical strong maximum principle, concerning positive supersolutions of linear elliptic equations vanishing on the boundary of the domain $\Omega $ can be extended, under suitable conditions, to the case in which the…
We investigate strong and weak versions of maximum and comparison principles for a class of quasilinear parabolic equations with the $p$-Laplacian $$ \partial_t u - \Delta_p u = \lambda |u|^{p-2} u + f(x,t) $$ under zero boundary and…
In this paper, an optimal control problem governed by a class of p-Laplacian elliptic equations is studied. In particular, as no monotonicity assumption is assumed on the nonlinear term, the state equation may admit several solutions for…
In this paper, we shall establish a Dancer-type unilateral global bifurcation result for a class of quasilinear elliptic problems with sign-changing weight. Under some natural hypotheses on perturbation function, we show that…
In this paper we study the nonlinear elliptic problem involving p(x)-Laplacian with nonsmooth potential, where the weighted function may change sign. By using critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functionals due to Chang, we obtain…
The strong maximum principle is proved to hold for weak (in the sense of support functions) sub- and super-solutions to a class of quasi-linear elliptic equations that includes the mean curvature equation for $C^0$ spacelike hypersurfaces…
We establish an explicit maximum principle for the Dirichlet problem associated with the $p$-Laplacian ($p>1$), where the constant depends on both $p$ and the geometry of the domain. From this result we derive two main applications. First,…
Let $\Omega$ be a bounded open interval, and let $p>1$ and $q\in\left(0,p-1\right) $. Let $m\in L^{p^{\prime}}\left(\Omega\right) $ and $0\leq c\in L^{\infty}\left(\Omega\right) $. We study existence of strictly positive solutions for…
In this paper, we investigate the monotonicity of solutions for a nonlinear equations involving the fractional Laplacian with variable exponent. We first prove different maximum principles involving this operator. Then we employ the direct…
We consider radial solutions of a general elliptic equation involving a weighted $p$-Laplace operator with a subcritical nonlinearity. By a shooting method we prove the existence of solutions with any prescribed number of nodes. The method…
In this paper, we establish a unilateral global bifurcation result for a class of quasilinear periodic boundary problems with a sign-changing weight. By the Ljusternik-Schnirelmann theory, we first study the spectrum of the periodic…
Two opposite constant-sign solutions to a non-variational p-Laplacian system with Robin boundary conditions are obtained via sub-super-solution techniques. A third nontrivial one comes out by means of topological degree arguments.
We obtain existence and multiplicity results for quasilinear fourth order elliptic equations on $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ with sign-changing potential. Our results generalize some recent results on this problem.
