    On the multiplicity of positive solutions for p-Laplace equations via Morse theory

    No full text
    Let us consider the quasilinear problem(P_ε) {(-ε^p Δ_p u + u^{p-1} =f(u), in Ω,; u>0, in Ω,; u=0, on ∂Ω) where Ω is a bounded domain in R^N with smooth boundary, N > p, 2 ≤ p 0 is a parameter. We prove that there exists ε* > 0 such that, for any ε ∈]0,ε*[, (P_ε) has at least 2P_1(Ω)-1 solutions, possibly counted with their multiplicities, where P_t(Ω) is the Poincaré polynomial of Ω. Using Morse techniques, we furnish an interpretation of the multiplicity of a solution, in terms of positive distinct solutions of a quasilinear equation on Ω, approximating (P_ε)

    No full text
    We prove the existence of positive ground state solutions to the pseudo-relativistic Schrödinger equation {equation presented}, where N ≥ 3, m > 0, V is a bounded external scalar potential and W is a radially symmetric convolution potential satisfying suitable assumptions. We also provide some asymptotic decay estimates of the found solutions

    Multi-peak periodic semiclassical states for a class of nonlinear Schrödinger equations

    No full text
    For a class of nonlinear Schrodinger equations, we prove the existence of semiclassical stationary states with possibly infinitely many concentration points. As (h) over bar --> 0, these states concentrate near critical points of the potential. Furthermore, for periodic potential, these states can be constructed to satisfy periodic boundary conditions

    Marino-Prodi perturbation type results and Morse indices of minimax critical points for a class of functionals in Banach spaces

    No full text
    In this work, we study a class of Euler functionals defined in Banach spaces, associated with quasilinear elliptic problems involving p-Laplace operator (p>2). First we obtain perturbation results in the spirit of the remarkable paper by Marino and Prodi (Boll. U.M.I. (4) 11(Suppl. fasc. 3): 1-32, 1975), using the new definition of nondegeneracy given in (Cingolani- Vannella, Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré: Analyse Non Linéaire. 20:271-292, 2003). We also extend Morse index estimates for minimax critical points, introduced by Lazer and Solimini (Nonlinear Anal. T.M.A. 12:761-775, 1988) in the Hilbert case, to our Banach setting

    On some qualitative aspects for doubly nonlocal equations

    No full text
    In this paper we investigate some qualitative properties of the solutions to the following doubly nonlocal equation (−Δ)su+μu=(Iα∗F(u))F′(u)in RN (P) where N≥2 , s∈(0,1) , α∈(0,N) , μ>0 is fixed, (−Δ)s denotes the fractional Laplacian and Iα is the Riesz potential. Here F∈C1(R) stands for a general nonlinearity of Berestycki-Lions type. We obtain first some regularity result for the solutions of (P). Then, by assuming F odd or even and positive on the half-line, we get constant sign and radial symmetry of the Pohozaev ground state solutions related to equation (P). In particular, we extend some results contained in [23]. Similar qualitative properties of the ground states are obtained in the limiting case s=1 , generalizing some results by Moroz and Van Schaftingen in [52] when F is odd
