On $(p,N)$-Laplace multivalued equations with critical exponential nonlinearity in $\mathbb{R}^N$

Ankit, Abhishek Sarkar

TL;DR

The paper addresses the existence of nonnegative solutions to multivalued $(p,N)$-Laplace equations with discontinuous nonlinearities exhibiting exponential critical growth in $\mathbb{R}^N$. It develops a non-smooth variational framework in the weighted space $\mathbf{X}=W_V^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^N)\cap W_V^{1,N}(\mathbb{R}^N)$, leveraging Orlicz spaces and Trudinger–Moser type inequalities to handle the exponential nonlinearity. By combining Ekeland’s variational principle and a non-smooth Mountain Pass theorem, the authors prove the existence of two nonnegative solutions for small $\varepsilon$, with one solution having negative energy and the other positive energy, and in a coupled setting, two nonnegative solutions exist. The results extend multiplicity theory to non-differentiable, non-Hilbert settings with exponential critical growth, providing a framework applicable to free-boundary and reaction-diffusion-type models in unbounded domains.

Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence of nonnegative solutions for a class of multivalued $(p,N)$-Laplace problems having discontinuous nonlinearity with critical exponential growth in $\mathbb{R}^N$. To demonstrate the existence results, we utilized variational methods for non-differentiable functions.

Key Result

Theorem 1.2

Assume V1-V2, f1-f2, f4,f6 and g1 hold. Then, there exist $\hat{\epsilon}>0$ and $t_*>0$ such that, the problem (main problem) possesses a nonnegative solution $\ u_\epsilon\in \mathbf{X}$ with $I_{\epsilon}(u_\epsilon)=c_{\epsilon}<-\delta^*<0$, for all $\epsilon \in (0,\hat{\epsilon})$ and $t_0\in
