Positive solutions for nonlinear nonhomogeneous parametric Robin problems

Papageorgiou, Nikolaos S. (author), Rǎdulescu, Vicenţiu (author), Repovš, Dušan (author)

We study a parametric Robin problem driven by a nonlinear nonhomogeneous differential operator and with a superlinear Carathéodory reaction term. We prove a bifurcation-type theorem for small values of the parameter. Also, we show that as the parameter ▫$\lambda > 0$▫ approaches zero, we can find positive solutions with arbitrarily big and arbitrarily small Sobolev norm. Finally, we show that for every admissible parameter value, there is a smallest positive solution ▫$u^\ast_\lambda$▫ of the problem, and we investigate the properties of the map ▫$\lambda \mapsto u^\ast_\lambda$▫.
