A three solutions theorem for Pucci's extremal operator and its application

In this article we prove a three solution type theorem for the following boundary value problem: \begin{equation*} \label{abs} \begin{cases} -\mathcal{M}_{\lambda,\Lambda}^+(D^2u) =f(u)& \text{in }\Omega,\\ u =0& \text{on }\partial\Omega, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $\Omega$ is a bounded smooth domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$ and $f\colon [0,\infty]\to[0,\infty]$ is a $C^{\alpha}$ function. This is motivated by the work of Amann \cite{aman} and Shivaji \cite{shivaji1987remark}, where a three solutions theorem has been established for the Laplace operator. Furthermore, using this result we show the existence of three positive solutions to above boundary value by explicitly constructing two ordered pairs of sub and supersolutions when $f$ has a sublinear growth and $f(0)=0.$

Three Solutions Theorem forp-Laplacian Problems with a Singular Weight and Its Application

We prove Amann type three solutions theorem for one dimensionalp-Laplacian problems with a singular weight function. To prove this theorem, we define a strong upper and lower solutions and compute the Leray-Schauder degree on a newly established weighted solution space. As an application, we consider the combustion model and show the existence of three positive radial solutions on an exterior domain.
