Infinitely many arbitrarily small positive solutions for the Dirichlet problem involving the $$p$$-Laplacian. (English) Zbl 1064.35053
The authors present a result of existence of infinitely many arbitrarily small positive solutions to the Dirichlet problem involving the $$p$$-Laplacian: $-\Delta_pu=\lambda f(x,u)\text{ in }\Omega\qquad u=0\text{ on } \partial \Omega,$ where $$\Omega\in {\mathbb R}^N$$ is a bounded set with sufficiently smooth boundary $$\partial \Omega$$, $$p>1$$, $$\lambda>0$$, and $$f:\Omega\times \mathbb R\to \mathbb R$$ is a Carathéodory function satisfying the condition: there exists $$\bar{t}>0$$ such that $\sup_{t\in[0,\bar t\, ]} f(\cdot,t)\in L^{\infty}(\Omega).$ {In the corrigendum several errors are corrected, esp. “a.e. positive” has to be changed into “nonzero and nonnegative”}.
