Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Variational methods with their numerous applications in differential and difference equations are among the central topics in nonlinear analysis. Growing out of the Dirichlet principle, variational methods have followed many paths leading to solutions to nonlinear equations and their multiplicity.

This Special Issue, entitled “New Trends in Variational Methods in Nonlinear Analysis”, is aimed at the applications of various variational techniques showing their interplays with other fields of nonlinear analysis. Application-oriented papers as well as survey papers describing recent developments of variational methods and their applications to both ordinary and partial differential equations are welcomed.

As topics within the scope of this issue, let us mention (without being exhaustive) the following: existence and multiplicity of solutions to nonlinear equations, variational principles, localization results, links to topological and monotonicity methods, and diverse applications to boundary value problems.

Each paper should clearly indicate its focus and motivation for the setting and what kind of impact one may expect from the results presented in this paper.

Prof. Dr. Marek Galewski

In this paper, we are concerned with the singular elliptic problems driven by the double phase operator and and Dirichlet boundary conditions. In view of the variational approach, we establish the existence of at least one nontrivial solution and two distinct nontrivial solutions under some general assumptions on the nonlinearity f. Here we use Ricceri’s variational principle and Bonanno’s three critical points theorem in order to overcome the lack of compactness. Full article

We consider an anisotropic Dirichlet problem which is driven by the (p(z),q(z))-Laplacian (that is, the sum of a p(z)-Laplacian and a q(z)-Laplacian), The reaction (source) term, is a Carathéodory function which asymptotically as x± can be resonant with respect to the principal eigenvalue of (Δp(z),W01,p(z)(Ω)). First using truncation techniques and the direct method of the calculus of variations, we produce two smooth solutions of constant sign. In fact we show that there exist a smallest positive solution and a biggest negative solution. Then by combining variational tools, with suitable truncation techniques and the theory of critical groups, we show the existence of a nodal (sign changing) solution, located between the two extremal ones.
