Steklov problems for the p−Laplace operator involving Lq -norm

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we are concerned with the study of the spectrum for the nonlinear Steklov problem of the form { Δ p u = | u | p - 2 u in Ω , | ∇ u | p - 2 ∂ u ∂ v = λ ‖ u ‖ q , ∂ Ω p - q | u | q - 2 u on ∂ Ω , \left\{ {\matrix{{{\Delta _p}u = {{\left| u \right|}^{p - 2}}u} \hfill & {{\rm{in}}\,\Omega ,} \hfill \cr {{{\left| {\nabla u} \right|}^{p - 2}}{{\partial u} \over {\partial v}} = \lambda \left\| u \right\|_{q,\partial \Omega }^{p - q}{{\left| u \right|}^{q - 2}}u} \hfill & {{\rm{on}}\,\partial \Omega ,} \hfill \cr } } \right. where Ω is a smooth bounded domain in ℝ N (N ≥ 1), λ is a real number which plays the role of eigenvalue and the unknowns u ∈ W 1, p (Ω). Using the Ljusterneck-Shnirelmann theory on C 1 manifold and Sobolev trace embedding we prove the existence of an increasing sequence positive of eigenvalues (λ k ) k ≥1, for the above problem. We then establish that the first eigenvalue is simple and isolated.
