Singular elliptic problems with unbalanced growth and critical exponent

Abstract

In this article, we study the existence and multiplicity of solutions of the following $(p,q)$-Laplace equation with singular nonlinearity: \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{rllll} -\Delta_{p}u-\ba\Delta_{q}u & = \la u^{-\de}+ u^{r-1}, \ u>0, \ \text{ in } \Om \\ u&=0 \quad \text{ on } \pa\Om, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where $\Om$ is a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smooth boundary, $1< q< p<r \leq p^{*}$, where $p^{*}=\ds \frac{np}{n-p}$, $0<\de< 1$, $n> p$ and $\la,\, \ba>0$ are parameters. We prove existence, multiplicity and regularity of weak solutions of $(P_\la)$ for suitable range of $\la$. We also prove the global existence result for problem $(P_\la)$.
