Concave-convex effects for critical quasilinear elliptic problems

Abstract

It is established existence, multiplicity and asymptotic behavior of positive solutions for a quasilinear elliptic problem driven by the $\Phi$-Laplacian operator. One of these solutions is obtained as ground state solution by applying the well known Nehari method. The semilinear term in the quasilinear equation is a concave-convex function which presents a critical behavior at infinity. The concentration compactness principle is used in order to recover the compactness required in variational methods.
