Uniqueness of positive solutions for m-Laplacian equations with polynomial non-linearity

Abstract

We consider the uniqueness of the following positive solutions of $m$-Laplacian equation: \begin{equation} \left\{ \begin{aligned} -\Delta _m u&=\lambda u^{m-1}+u^{p-1} \quad \text{in} \quad \Omega\\ u&=0 \quad \text{on} \quad \partial \Omega \end{aligned} \right. \qquad(0.1)\end{equation} where $m>1$ is a constant. When $p\rightarrow m$, the uniqueness of positive solutions of $(0.1)$ is shown which is based on the essential uniqueness of first eigenfunction for $m$-Laplacian equation. Futhermore, we also prove the uniqueness results when $(0.1)$ is a perturbation of Laplacian equation.
