We study a multiplicity result for the perturbed p-Laplacian equation −∆ p u − λg(x)|u| p−2 u = f (x,u) + h (x) in R N , where 1 < p < N and λ is near λ 1 , the principal eigenvalue of the weighted eigenvalue problem −∆ p u = λg|u| p−2 u in R N . Depending on which side λ is from λ 1 , we prove the existence of one or three solutions. This kind of results was firstly obtained by Mawhin and Schmitt (1990) for a semilinear two-point boundary value problem.
IntroductionIn this paper, we study a class of p-Laplacian equations of the formwhere This space, which is motivated by the embedding, is in fact a reflexive Banach space characterized byWe refer the reader to Ben-Naoum et al. (1.4)
