Suppose that G = (V, E) is a connected locally finite graph with the vertex set V and the edge set E. Let ${\Omega}{\subset}V$ be a bounded domain. Consider the following quasilinear elliptic equation on graph G $$\{-{\Delta}_{pu}={\lambda}K(x){\mid}u{\mid}^{p-2}u+f(x,u),\;x{\in}{\Omega}^{\circ},\\u=0,\;x{\in}{\partial}{\Omega},$$ where ${\Omega}^{\circ}$ and ${\partial}{\Omega}$ denote the interior and the boundary of ${\Omega}$, respectively, ${\Delta}_p$ is the discrete p-Laplacian, K(x) is a given function which may change sign, ${\lambda}$ is the eigenvalue parameter and f(x, u) has exponential growth. We prove the existence and monotonicity of the principal eigenvalue of the corresponding eigenvalue problem. Furthermore, we also obtain the existence of a positive solution by using variational methods.

The $Calder{\acute{o}}n$-Zygmund type estimate is proved for elliptic obstacle problems in bounded non-smooth domains. The problems are related to divergence form nonlinear elliptic equation with measurable nonlinearities. Precisely, nonlinearity $a({\xi},x_1,x^{\prime})$ is assumed to be only measurable in one spatial variable $x_1$ and has locally small BMO semi-norm in the other spatial variables x', uniformly in ${\xi}$ variable. Regarding non-smooth domains, we assume that the boundaries are locally flat in the sense of Reifenberg. We also investigate global regularity in the settings of weighted Orlicz spaces for the weak solutions to the problems considered here.

Let Ω be a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain in ℂⁿ and assume that the (n - 2)-eigenvalues of the Levi-form are comparable in a neighborhood of z₀ ∈ bΩ. Also, assume that there is a smooth 1-dimensional analytic variety V whose order of contact with bΩ at z₀ is equal to 𝜂 and 𝚫_n-2(z₀) < ∞. We show that the maximal gain in Hölder regularity for solutions of the ${\bar{\partial}}$-equation is at most ${\frac{1}{\eta}}$.

Using variational methods, we show the existence of a unique weak solution of the following singular biharmonic problems of Kirchhoff type involving critical Sobolev exponent: $$(\mathcal{P}_{\lambda})\;\{\begin{array}{lll}{\Delta}^2u-(a{\int}_{\Omega}{\mid}{\nabla}u{\mid}^2dx+b){\Delta}u+cu=f(x){\mid}u{\mid}^{-{\gamma}}-{\lambda}{\mid}u{\mid}^{p-2}u&&\text{ in }{\Omega},\\{\Delta}u=u=0&&\text{ on }{\partial}{\Omega},\end{array}$$ where Ω is a smooth bounded domain of ℝⁿ (n ≥ 5), ∆² is the biharmonic operator, and ∇u denotes the spatial gradient of u and 0 < γ < 1, λ > 0, 0 < p ≤ 2^# and a, b, c are three positive constants with a + b > 0 and f belongs to a given Lebesgue space.

In this paper we prove the existence of nontrivial weak solutions to the boundary value problem -G₁u = u³ + f(x, y, u) in Ω, u ≥ 0 in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in ℝ³, G₁ is a Grushin type operator, and f(x, y, u) is a lower order perturbation of u³ with f(x, y, 0) = 0. The nonlinearity involved is of critical exponent, which differs from the existing results in [11, 12].

In this paper, we study the existence and nonexistence of solutions for a class of Hamiltonian strongly degenerate elliptic system with subcritical growth $$\left{\array{-{\Delta}_{\lambda}u-{\mu}v={\mid}v{\mid}^{p-1}v&&\text{in }{\Omega},\\-{\Delta}_{\lambda}v-{\mu}u={\mid}u{\mid}^{q-1}u&&\text{in }{\Omega},\\u=v=0&&\text{ on }{\partial}{\Omega},}$$ where p, q > 1 and Ω is a smooth bounded domain in ℝ^N, N ≥ 3. Here Δ_λ is the strongly degenerate elliptic operator. The existence of at least a nontrivial solution is obtained by variational methods while the nonexistence of positive solutions are proven by a contradiction argument.

In this paper, we study the following nonlinear problem: $$\{-\Delta_{p}^{3}(x)u\;=\;{\lambda}V_{1}(x){\mid}u{\mid}^{q(x)-2}u\;in\;{\Omega},\\u\;=\;{\Delta}u\;{\Delta}^{2}u\;=\;0\;on\;{\partial}\Omega, $$ under adequate conditions on the exponent functions p, q and the weight function V₁. We prove the existence and nonexistence of eigenvalues for p(x)-triharmonic problem with Navier boundary value conditions on a bounded domain in ℝ^N. Our technique is based on variational approaches and the theory of variable exponent Lebesgue spaces.

Using variational methods, Krasnoselskii's genus theory and symmetric mountain pass theorem, we introduce the existence and multiplicity of solutions of a parameteric local equation. At first, we consider the following equation $$\{-div[a(x,{\mid}{\nabla}u{\mid}){\nabla}u]\,=\,{\mu}(b(x){\mid}u{\mid}^{s(x)-2}-{\mid}u{\mid}^{r(x)-2})u\;in\;{\Omega},\\u\,=0\,on\;{\partial}{\Omega},$$ where Ω⊆ ℝ^N is a bounded domain, µ is a positive real parameter, p, r and s are continuous real functions on ${\bar{\Omega}}$ and a(x, ξ) is of type |ξ|^p(x)-2. Next, we study boundedness and simplicity of eigenfunction for the case a(x, |∇u|)∇u = g(x)|∇u|^p(x)-2∇u, where g ∈ L^∞(Ω) and g(x) ≥ 0 and the case $a(x,\,{\mid}{\nabla}u{\mid}){{\nabla}u}\,=\,(1\,+\,{\nabla}u{\mid}^2)^{\frac{p(x)-2}{2}}{\nabla}u$ such that p(x) ≡ p.

We investigate the existence of multiple positive solutions of the following elliptic equation with a Schrödinger-type term: $$\begin{cases}-{\Delta}u+V(x)u={\lambda}f(u){\quad} x{\in}{\Omega},\\{\qquad}{\qquad}{\quad}u=0, {\qquad}\;x{\in}\partial{\Omega},\end{cases}$$, where 0 ∈ Ω is a bounded domain in ℝ^N , N ≥ 1, with a smooth boundary ∂Ω, f ∈ C[0, ∞), V ∈ L^∞(Ω) and λ is a positive parameter. In particular, when f(s) > 0 for 0 ≤ s < σ and f(s) < 0 for s > σ, we establish the existence of at least three positive solutions for a certain range of λ by using the method of sub and supersolutions.

We establish an existence result for a positive solution to the Schrödinger-type singular semipositone problem: $-{\Delta}u\,=\,V(x)u\,=\,{\lambda}{\frac{f(u)}{u^{\alpha}}}$ in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝ^N , N > 2, λ ∈ ℝ is a positive parameter, V ∈ L^∞(Ω), 0 < α < 1, f ∈ C([0, ∞), ℝ) with f(0) < 0. In particular, when ${\frac{f(s)}{s^{\alpha}}}$ is sublinear at infinity, we establish the existence of a positive solutions for λ ≫ 1. The proofs are mainly based on the sub and supersolution method. Further, we extend our existence result to infinite semipositone problems with mixed boundary conditions.
