Nonlinear elliptic \(\mathrm{p}\)-Laplacian equations in the whole space. (English) Zbl 1533.35178

Summary: In this paper the existence and multiplicity of non-zero solutions for nonlinear Dirichlet problems involving the \(p\)-Laplacian operator and which are defined in the whole space is established. In particular, the existence of two non-zero solutions, one with negative energy and other with positive one for equations having combined effects of concave and convex nonlinearities is obtained. The approach is based on variational methods.
