The existence of at least one non-decreasing sequence of positive eigenvalues for the problem driven by both p(·)-Harmonic and p(·)-biharmonic operators\eqalign{& \Delta _{p\left( x \right)}^2u - {\Delta _{p\left( x \right)}}u = \lambda w\left( x \right){\left| u \right|^{q\left( x \right) - 2}}u\,\,\,{\rm{in}}\,\,\Omega {\rm{,}} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,u \in {W^{2,p\left( \cdot \right)}}\left( \Omega \right) \cap W_0^{ - 1,p\left( \cdot \right)}\left( \Omega \right), \cr}is proved by applying a local minimization and the theory of the generalized Lebesgue-Sobolev spaces Lp(·)(Ω) and Wm,p(·)(Ω).

This note is concerned with a weighted Dirichlet-Steklov problem driven by the p-biharmonic operator. Our approach is based on variational method and Ljusternick-Schnirelmann principle, we establish that the above problem admits a non-decreasing sequence of non-negative eigenvalues.

In the present paper, we study the nonlinear partial differential equation with the weighted $p$-Laplacian operator\begin{gather*}- \operatorname{div}(w(x)|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u) = \frac{ f(x)}{(1-u)^{2}},\end{gather*}on a ball ${B}_{r}\subset \mathbb{R}^{N}(N\geq 2)$. Under some appropriate conditionson the functions $f, w$ and the nonlinearity $\frac{1}{(1-u)^{2}}$, we prove the existence and the uniqueness of solutions of the above problem. Our analysis mainly combines the variational method and critical point theory. Such solution is obtained as a minimizer for the energy functional associated with our problem in the setting of the weighted Sobolev spaces.

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem: $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \begin{cases} {\it\Delta}(|{\it\Delta} u|^{p(x)-2}{\it\Delta} u)= \lambda \frac{|u|^{q(x)-2}u}{{\delta(x)}^{2q(x)}} \;\; \mbox{in}\;\; {\it\Omega}, \\ u\in W_0^{2,p(x)}({\it\Omega}), \end{cases} \end{array}$$ where Ω is a regular bounded domain of ℝN, δ(x) = dist(x, ∂Ω) the distance function from the boundary ∂Ω, λ is a positive real number, and functions p(⋅), q(⋅) are supposed to be continuous on Ω satisfying $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle 1 \lt \min_{\overline{{\it\Omega} }}\,q\leq \max_{\overline{{\it\Omega}}}\,q \lt \min_{\overline{{\it\Omega} }}\,p \leq \max_{\overline{{\it\Omega}}}\,p \lt \frac{N}{2} \mbox{ and } \max_{\overline{{\it\Omega}}}\,q \lt p_2^*:= \frac{Np(x)}{N-2p(x)} \end{array}$$ for any x ∈ Ω. We prove the existence of at least one non-decreasing sequence of positive eigenvalues. Moreover, we prove that sup Λ = +∞, where Λ is the spectrum of the problem. Furthermore, we give a proof of positivity of inf Λ > 0 provided that Hardy-Rellich inequality holds.

This manuscript discusses the existence of nontrivial weak solution for the following nonlinear eigenvalue problem driven by the p(?)-biharmonic operator with Rellich-type term {?(|?u|p(x)?2?u) = ?|u|q(x)?2u/?(x)2q(x), for x ? ?, u = ?u = 0, for x ? ??. Considering the case 1 < min x?? p(x) ? max x?? p(x) < min x?? q(x) ? max x?? q(x) < min (N 2, Np(x) N ? 2p(x) ), we extend the corresponding result of the reference [8], for the case 1 < min x?? q(x) ? max x?? q(x) < min x?? p(x) ? max x?? .p(x) < N 2 . The proofs of the main results are based on the mountain pass theorem
