(p,2)-equations asymmetric at both zero and infinity

We consider a (p,2){(p,2)}-equation, that is, a nonlinear nonhomogeneous elliptic equation driven by the sum of a p-Laplacian and a Laplacian with p>2{p>2}. The reaction term is (p-1){(p-1)}-linear, but exhibits asymmetric behavior at ±∞{\pm\infty} and at 0±{0^{\pm}}. Using variational tools,...

Description
Summary:We consider a (p,2){(p,2)}-equation, that is, a nonlinear nonhomogeneous elliptic equation driven by the sum of a p-Laplacian and a Laplacian with p>2{p>2}. The reaction term is (p-1){(p-1)}-linear, but exhibits asymmetric behavior at ±∞{\pm\infty} and at 0±{0^{\pm}}. Using variational tools, together with truncation and comparison techniques and Morse theory, we prove two multiplicity theorems, one of them providing sign information for all the solutions (positive, negative, nodal).
