Multiplicity results for a quasilinear equation with singular nonlinearity

Abstract

For an open, bounded domain $\Om$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ which is strictly convex with $C^2$ boundary, we show that there exists a $\land>0$ such that the singular quasilinear problem \begin{eqnarray*} &-\delp u =\cfrac{\lambda}{u^{\del}}+u^q\,\,\mbox{in}\,\,\Om\\ &u=0\,\,\mbox{on}\,\,\partial\Om;\, \,\,u>0\,\,\mbox{in}\,\,\Om \end{eqnarray*} admits atleast two solution $ u$ and $v$ in $W^{1,p}_{loc}(\Om)\cap L^{\infty}(\Om)$ for any $\del>0$ and $0<\lam<\land$ provided $1<p<N$ and $p-1<q<\frac{p(N-1)}{N-p}-1$.\\ Moreover the solutions $u$ and $v$ are such that $u^{\alp}$ and $v^{\alp}$ are in $W^{1,p}_0(\Om)$ for some $\alp>0$.
