Two notions which affected nonlinear analysis (Bernard Bolzano lecture)

Pavel Drábek — 2014

Mathematica Bohemica

General mathematical theories usually originate from the investigation of particular problems and notions which could not be handled by available tools and methods. The Fučík spectrum and the p -Laplacian are typical examples in the field of nonlinear analysis. The systematic study of these notions during the last four decades led to several interesting and surprising results and revealed deep relationship between the linear and the nonlinear structures. This paper does not provide a complete survey....

The least eigenvalues of nonhomogeneous degenerated quasilinear eigenvalue problems

Pavel Drábek — 1995

Mathematica Bohemica

We prove the existence of the least positive eigenvalue with a corresponding nonnegative eigenfunction of the quasilinear eigenvalue problem - div ( a ( x , u ) | | p - 2 u ) = λ b ( x , u ) | u | p - 2 u in Ω , u = 0 on Ω , where Ω is a bounded domain, p > 1 is a real number and a ( x , u ) , b ( x , u ) satisfy appropriate growth conditions. Moreover, the coefficient a ( x , u ) contains a degeneration or a singularity. We work in a suitable weighted Sobolev space and prove the boundedness of the eigenfunction in L ( Ω ) . The main tool is the investigation of the associated homogeneous eigenvalue problem and an application...

On Fredholm alternative for certain quasilinear boundary value problems

Pavel Drábek — 2002

Mathematica Bohemica

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 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.
