Acesso em: 19 mar. 2019.1687-2770http://www.repositorio.ufop.br/handle/123456789/11516We consider the following elliptic problem: – div( |∇u| p–2∇u |y| ap ) = |u| q–2u |y| bq + f(x) in , u = 0 on ∂, in an unbounded cylindrical domain := (y,z) ∈ Rm+1 × RN–m–1;0< A < |y| < B < ∞ , where 1 ≤ m < N – p, q = q(a, b) := Np N–p(a+1–b) , p > 1 and A, B ∈ R+. Let p∗ N,m := p(N–m) N–m–p . We show that p∗ N,m is the true critical exponent for this problem. The starting point for a variational approach to this problem is the known Maz’ja’s inequality (Sobolev Spaces, 1980) which guarantees, for the q previously defined, that the energy functional associated with this problem is well defined. This inequality generalizes the inequalities of Sobolev (p = 2, a = 0 and b = 0) and Hardy (p = 2, a = 0 and b = 1). Under certain conditions on the parameters a and b, using the principle of symmetric criticality and variational methods, we prove that the problem has at least one solution in the case f ≡ 0 and at least two solutions in the case f ≡ 0, if p < q < p∗ N,m.en-USabertoPositive solutionDegenerated operatorVariational methodsArtigo publicado em periodicoO periódico Boundary Value Problems permite o arquivamento da versão/PDF do editor no Repositório Institucional.
