We establish the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions for equations which involve a uniformly convex elliptic operator in divergence form(in particular, a p-Laplacian operator), while the nonlinearity has a(p- 1)-superlinear growth at infinity. Our result completes and extends the relevant results of recent papers. The argument in the proof of our main result relies on the Z2-symmetric version of mountain pass lemma.
We consider the Cauchy problem for one-dimensional isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficient. For regular initial data, we show that the unique strong solution exits globally in time and converges to the equilibrium state time asymptotically. When initial density is piecewise regular with jump discontinuity, we show that there exists a unique global piecewise regular solution. In particular, the jump discontinuity of the density decays exponentially and the piecewise regular solution tends to the equilibrium state as t →＋∞
In this paper, we consider a p（x）-biharmonic problem with Navier boundary conditions. The existence of infinitely many solutions which tend to zero is investigated based on the symmetric Mountain Pass lemma. Our approach relies on the theory of variable exponent Sobolev space.
