SIGN-CHANGING AND MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS FOR THE p -LAPLACIAN SIEGFRIED CARL AND KANISHKA PERERA Received 25 June 2002 We obtain a positive solution, a negative solution, and a sign-changing solu- tion for a class of p -Laplacian problems with jumping nonlinearities using vari- ational and super-subsolution methods. 1. Introduction Let Ω ⊂ RN , N ≥ 1, be a bounded domain with a smooth boundary ∂Ω. In this paper, we consider the quasilinear elliptic boundary value problem u ∈ W1,p (Ω) : −∆ u = f (x,u) in W−1,p (Ω), (1.1) 0 p p −2 1,p where ∆p u = div( |∇u | ∇u) is the p -Laplacian, 1 p ∞. By W (Ω) we de- note the usual Sobolev space with dual space (W1,p (Ω))∗, and W1,p (Ω) denotes 0 its subspace whose elements have generalized homogeneous boundary values and whose dual space is given by W−1,p (Ω). We assume the following growth and asymptotic behaviour of the nonlinear right-hand side f of (1.1): ´ (H1) f : Ω ×R → R is a Caratheodory function satisfying p −1 f (x,t ) ≤ C |t | + 1 , (1.2) + p −1 − p −1 f (x,t ) = a t − b t +g (x,t ), where g (x,t ) lim p −1 = 0 uniformly in x. (1.3) t→0 |t | Here C denotes some generic positive constants. Copyright © 2002 Hindawi Publishing Corporation Abstract and Applied Analysis 7:12
