A general perturbation theorem with applications to nonhomogeneous critical growth elliptic problems

Abstract

We prove a general perturbation theorem that can be used to obtain pairs of nontrivial solutions of a wide range of local and nonlocal nonhomogeneous elliptic problems. Applications to critical $p$-Laplacian problems, $p$-Laplacian problems with critical Hardy-Sobolev exponents, critical fractional $p$-Laplacian problems, and critical $(p,q)$-Laplacian problems are given. Our results are new even in the semilinear case $p = 2$.
