We study the existence of weak solutions to the following Neumann problem involving thep(x)-Laplacian operator:  -Δp(x)u+e(x)|u|p(x)-2u=λa(x)f(u),in  Ω,∂u/∂ν=0,on  ∂Ω. Under some appropriate conditions on the functionsp,  e,  a, and  f, we prove that there existsλ¯>0such that anyλ∈(0,λ¯)is an eigenvalue of the above problem. Our analysis mainly relies on variational arguments based on Ekeland’s variational principle.

Abstract This paper deals with a homogeneous Neumann problem of a nonlinear diffusion system involving variable exponents dependent on spatial and time variables and cross-diffusion terms. We prove the existence of weak solutions using Galerkin’s approximation and we derive suitable energy estimates. To this end, we establish the needed Poincaré type inequality for variable exponents related to the Neumann boundary problem. Furthermore, we show that the investigated problem possesses a unique weak solution and satisfies a stability estimate, provided some additional assumptions are fulfilled. In addition, we show under which conditions the solution is nonnegative.

In the paper, we study the existence of weak solutions for a class of new nonlocal problems involving a p x -Laplacian operator. By using Ekeland’s variational principle and mountain pass theorem, we prove that the new p x -Kirchhoff problem has at least two nontrivial weak solutions.

AbstractWe prove an equivalence between weighted Poincaré inequalities and the existence of weak solutions to a Neumann problem related to a degenerate p-Laplacian. The Poincaré inequalities are formulated in the context of degenerate Sobolev spaces defined in terms of a quadratic form, and the associated matrix is the source of the degeneracy in the p-Laplacian.

The purpose of this paper is to present some remarks on Ume’s new concept of distance called u-distance, which generalizes w-distance and Suzuki’s t-distance. As an application of the u-distance version of Ekeland’s variational principle, we establish a generalized flower petal theorem.

Abstract This paper concerns with the existence of multiple solutions for a class of elliptic problems with discontinuous nonlinearity. By using dual variational methods, properties of the Nehari manifolds and Ekeland's variational principle, we show how the ‘shape’ of the graph of the function A affects the number of nontrivial solutions.

The aim of this paper is to establish the existence of the principal eigencurve of the p-Laplacian operator with the nonconstant weight subject to Neumann boundary conditions. We then study the nonresonce phenomena under the first eigenvalue and under the principal eigencurve, thus we obtain existence results for some nonautonomous Neumann elliptic problems involving the p-Laplacian operator.
