Double phase equations with an indefinite concave term

Zhenhai Liu, Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou

Abstract:
We consider a Dirichlet problem having a double phase differential operator with unbalanced growth and reaction involving the combined effects of a concave (sublinear) and of a convex (superlinear) terms. We allow the coefficient $\mathcal E\in L^\infty(\Omega)$ of the concave term to be sign changing. We show that when $\|\mathcal E\|_\infty $ is small the problem has at least two bounded positive solutions.
