    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)

    In this paper we deal with critical groups estimates for a functional f:W_0^{1,p}(Ω)→R (p>2), Ω bounded domain of R^N, defined by setting f(u)=1/p∫_Ω|∇u|^p dx +1/2∫_Ω|∇u|^2dx+∫_Ω G(u)dx where G(t)=∫_0^t g(s)ds and g is a smooth real function on R, growing subcritically. We remark that the second derivative of f in each critical point u is not a Fredholm operator from W_0^{1,p}(Ω) to its dual space, so that the generalized Morse splitting lemma does not work. In spite of the lack of a Hilbert structure, we compute the critical groups of f in u via its Morse index

    In this work we consider a class of Euler functionals defined in Banach spaces, associated to quasilinear elliptic problems involving the critical Sobolev exponent. We perform critical groups estimates via the Morse index

    Multiple positive solutions for a critical quasilinear equation via Morse theory

    We deal with the existence of solutions for the quasilinear problem(P_λ) {(- Δ_p u = λ u^{q-1} + u^{p*-1}, 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, 10 is a parameter. Using Morse techniques in a Banach setting, we prove that there exists λ* > 0 such that, for any λ ∈ (0, λ*), (P_λ) has at least P_1(Ω) solutions, possibly counted with their multiplicities, where P_t (Ω) is the Poincaré polynomial of Ω. Moreover for p ≥ 2 we prove that, for each λ ∈ (0, λ*), there exists a sequence of quasilinear problems, approximating (P_λ), each of them having at least P_1(Ω) distinct positive solutions

    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

    Some results on critical groups for a class of functionals defined on Sobolev Banach spaces

    No full text
    We present critical groups estimates for a functional f defined on the Banach space W01,p(Ω)W_0^{1,p}(Ω), where Ω is a bounded domain in R^N, p>2, associated to a quasilinear elliptic equation involving p-laplacian. In spite of the lack of an Hilbert structure and of Fredholm property of the second order differential of f in each critical point, we compute the critical groups of f in each isolated critical point via Morse index

    In this work we prove some multiplicity results for solutions of a system of elliptic quasilinear equations, involving the p-Laplace operator (p > 2). The proofs are based on variational and topological arguments and make use of new perturbation results in Morse theory for the Banach space W^{1,p}_0
