In this paper, using variational methods, we establish the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions for nonhomogeneous quasilinear elliptic equations of the formwhere n ≥ 2, ∆nu ≡ div(|∇u| n−2 ∇u) is the n-Laplacian and ε is a positive parameter. Here the function g(x) may be unbounded in x and the nonlinearity f (s) has critical growth in the sense of Trudinger-Moser inequality, more precisely f (s) behaves like e α 0 |s| n/(n−1) when s → +∞ for some α 0 > 0. Under some suitable assumptions and based on a Trudinger-Moser type inequality, our results are proved by using Ekeland variational principle, minimization and mountain-pass theorem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
