A Linking Type Method to Solve a Class of Semilinear Elliptic Variational Inequalities

The aim of this paper is to study the existence of a nontrivial solution of the following semilinear elliptic variational inequality where Ω is an open bounded subset of ℝ (N ≥ 1), λ is a real parameter, with ≥ λ the first eigenvalue of the operator Δ in H (Ω), ψ belongs to H (Ω), ψ ≥ 0 and p is a C...

Summary:The aim of this paper is to study the existence of a nontrivial solution of the following semilinear elliptic variational inequality where Ω is an open bounded subset of ℝ (N ≥ 1), λ is a real parameter, with ≥ λ the first eigenvalue of the operator Δ in H (Ω), ψ belongs to H (Ω), ψ ≥ 0 and p is a Carathéodory function on Ω × ℝ, which satisfies some general superlinearity growth conditions at zero and at infinity.
