摘要
In this paper, we study the existence of nontrivial solutions for the following Dirichlet problem for the p-Laplacian (p > 1): {- Δpu ≡ -div (|∇u| p-2∇u) = f(x, u), x ∈ Ω, u = 0, x ∈ ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝN (N ≥ 1) and f(x,u) is quasi-asymptotically linear with respect to |u|p-2u at infinity. Recently it was proved that the above problem has a positive solution under the condition that f(x, s)/sp-1 is nondecreasing with respect to s for all x ∈ Ω, and some others. In this paper, by improving the methods in the literature, we prove that the functional corresponding to the above problem still satisfies a weakened version of (P.S.) condition even if f(x, s)/sp-1 isn't a nondecreasing function with respect to s, and then the above problem has a nontrivial weak solution by Mountain Pass Theorem.
