We study the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the p -Laplacian of the form - Δ p u - λ 1 | u | p - 2 u = f in Ω , u = 0 on ∂ Ω , where Ω ⊂ ℝ N is a bounded domain with smooth boundary ∂ Ω , N ≥ 1 , p > 1 , f ∈ C ( Ω ¯ ) and λ 1 > 0 is the first eigenvalue of Δ p . We study the geometry of the energy functional E p ( u ) = 1 p ∫ Ω | ∇ u | p - λ 1 p ∫ Ω | u | p - ∫ Ω f u and show the difference between the case 1 < p < 2 and the case p > 2 . We also give the characterization of the right hand sides f for which the above Dirichlet problem is solvable and has multiple solutions.

We study the geometry of the energy functional \[ E_p(u) = \frac{1}{p} \int _{\Omega } |\nabla u|^p - \frac{\lambda _1}{p} \int _{\Omega } |u|^p - \int _{\Omega } fu \] and show the difference between the case $1<p<2$ and the case $p>2$. We also give the characterization of the right hand sides $f$ for which the above Dirichlet problem is solvable and has multiple solutions.
