Positive solutions for parametric nonlinear neumann problems with competing nonlinearities

Abstract

We consider a parametric nonlinear Neumann problem driven by the p-Laplacian and with a reaction exhibiting the competing effects of a concave (p-sublinear) and of a convex (p-superlinear) term. Using critical point theory together with truncation and comparison techniques, we prove a bifurcation type theorem describing the set of positive solutions as the parameter λ > 0 varies.
