Abstract
For a weighted variable exponent Sobolev space, the compact and bounded embedding results are proved. For that, new boundedness and compact action properties are established for Hardy’s operator and its conjugate in weighted variable exponent Lebesgue spaces. Furthermore, the obtained results are applied to the existence of positive eigenfunctions for a concrete class of nonlinear ode with nonstandard growth condition.

1 Introduction
Dirichlet’s problem for a class of nonlinear differential equations with nonstandard growth condition is a subject of a study of boundedness and compactness results in variable exponent Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces. In this paper, the exponent functions are characterized for the weighted Hardy’s operator to be bounded and compact, to get its application to the solvability problem of the first boundary value problem for a concrete class of nonlinear ode coming from the physics.
Mostly log-regularity condition near origin and infinity is considered in a study the boundedness and compactness results for Hardy’s operator in weighted variable exponent Lebesgue spaces (see, e.g., [4,5,6, 13,14,15]). The originality of the present study placed also in that, we do not use traditional logarithmic regularity condition for the exponent functions. In place, the conditions of almost decreasing (a.d.) and (or) almost increasing (a.i.) are assumed near the origin and l. The idea of use a.i. (or a.d.) condition is new and essentially comes from [9, 11, 12]. The cited studies show effectiveness of this conditions (a.i. or a.d.) in study the boundedness and compactness properties of Hardy’s operator in variable exponent Lebesgue space.
The equations with nonstandard growth condition appear, e.g., in modeling the so-called "Winslow effect" phenomena for smart materials [20]. For solvability of the arising nonlinear differential equations, Ambrosetti–Rabinovich’s mountain pass theorem approach turns out fruitful (see, e.g., [3, 18, 19]). In addition, the variable exponent and variable order approaches find application in the theory of nonlinear pde and modeling of different physical phenomena of modern applied science (see, e.g., [1, 2, 10, 16, 17, 21, 22]).
In light of the mentioned results on problem (1), Theorem 3.6 turns out to be actual, since it states \( \lambda _1=0 \) for the eigenvalue problem (2) (since for any \( \lambda >0 \), there exist a solution of the eigenvalue problem). According to [7], if \( p^- >1 \), then there are a sequence of discreet eigenvalues \( \lambda _n \) with \( \lambda _\infty =\lim \sup \lambda _n= \infty \) and \( \lambda _1=\lim \inf \lambda _n \ge 0 \) of the eigenvalue problem:
which implies that the list eigenvalue may be equal to zero. In [7], it was proved that this problem may has \( \lambda _1=0 \) provided that there exists an open set \( U\subset \Omega \) and a point \( x_0 \in U \), such that \( p(x_0)< (\text {or} > ) p(x) \) for all \( x\in \partial \Omega . \)
Note, the list eigenvalue of the problem (1) is positive in the case of constant exponent (or according to [8], for one-dimensional case with monotony variable exponent p(x) ).
2 Notation, definitions
For \( 1<p<\infty \), the \( p^\prime \) denotes conjugate number, \( \frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{p^\prime }=1 \); for \( p=\infty \), the \( p^\prime =1 \), and for \( p=1 \), the \( p^\prime =\infty \). The notations \( p^{+}={\sup }_{t\in (0,l)} \, p(t) \) and \( p^{-}={\inf }_{t \in (0,l)}\, p(t) \) are used to denote essential maximum and minimum values of a measurable function \( p(\cdot ) \). \( \chi _{E} \)-denotes the characteristic function of set E.
\( C, C_{1}, C_{2}, \ldots \) denote different constants, the values of which are not essential and may be varied in each appearance.
Denote \( Hf(x)=\int \nolimits _{0}^{x}f(t)\mathrm{d}t \)—the Hardy operator and \( H^{*}f(x)=\int \nolimits _{x}^{l}f(t)\, \mathrm{d}t \)—its conjugate.
We say that the function \( g:(0,l) \rightarrow (0,\infty ) \) is almost increasing (decreasing) if there exists a constant \( C>0 \), such that for any \( 0<t_1<t_2<l \), the inequality \( g(t_{1})\le Cg(t_{2}) \, ( g(t_{1})\ge Cg(t_{2})) \) holds.
Define the following variable exponent spaces that will be used in this paper. For a function f(x) and the exponent p(x) , define the modular
The variable exponent Lebesgue space \( L^{p(\cdot )}(0,l) \) is a space of measurable functions \( f: (0,l)\rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}^n \) with finite norm:
Denote \( L^{p(\cdot ), \beta }(0,l) \) the space of measurable functions in (0, l) with finite norm \( \Vert x^\beta f(x) \Vert _{L^{p(.)}(0,l)}\).
\( W_\beta ^{1, p(\cdot )} (0,l) \) denotes a Sobolev space of absolutely continuous functions \( f:(0,l)\rightarrow \mathbb {R}, \, f(0)=0 \) endowed with a norm:
Denote \( \tilde{L}^{p,\beta }(0,l) \) a space of measurable functions with finite norm \( \Vert (xl-x^2)^{\beta } f(x)\Vert _{L^{p(\cdot )}(0,l)} .\) Denote \( \tilde{W}_\beta ^{1, p(\cdot )}(0,l) \) a Sobolev space of absolutely continuous functions on (0, l) with \( y(0)=y(l)=0 \) and having a finite norm:
where \( d(x)=\min \{x,l-x\}. \) Since \( xl-x^2 \) for \( 0<x<l \) is equivalently to ld(x) , sometimes, we may use expression \( lx-x^2 \) in place of ld(x).
Denote \( \bar{W}_\beta ^{1, p(\cdot )}(0,l) \) a closure of \(C_0^\infty (0,l)\) functions in the norm of space \( \tilde{W}_\beta ^{1, p(\cdot )}(0, l). \)
Definition
Consider the eigenvalue problem:
where b(x) is a positive bounded measurable function on (0, l).
We say that the function \( y=y(x) \) is a solution of the preceding problem if \(y \in \bar{W}_\beta ^{1, p(\cdot )}(0, l) \) and for any \( v \in \bar{W}_\beta ^{1, p(\cdot )}(0, l) \), it holds the identity
3 Main results
Following main results are obtained in this paper.
Theorem 3.1
Let \( q, p: (0,l) \rightarrow (1,\infty ) \) be measurable functions on (0, l) , such that
and
Assume that p be monotony increasing near origin and there exists \( \varepsilon >0 \), such that the function \( x^{\beta - \frac{1}{p^{\prime }(x)}+\varepsilon } \) a.d. on a little \( \delta \)-neighborhood of origin.
Then, operator H acts boundedly from \( L^{p(\cdot ), \beta } (0, l) \) into \( L^{q(\cdot ), \beta -\frac{1}{p^{\prime }(\cdot )}-\frac{1}{q(\cdot )}}(0,l) \). Moreover, the norm of mapping depends on \( p^{-}, p^{+}, \varepsilon , \beta , \delta . \)
For any absolutely continues function, \( y:(0,l)\rightarrow \mathbb {R} \) with \( y(0)=0 \) Theorem 3.1 immediately gives the inequality:
i.e., the following assertion takes place.
Theorem 3.2
Let \( q, p: (0, l) \rightarrow (1, \infty ) \) be measurable functions satisfying (4) and (5). Let p be monotony increasing near origin and there exists \( \varepsilon >0 \), such that the function \( x^{\beta -\frac{1}{p^{\prime }}+\varepsilon } \) a.d. on a little \( \delta \) neighborhood of origin.
Then, the identity operator maps boundedly space of functions \( y\in \bar{W}_\beta ^{1, p(\cdot )}(0,l) \) with \( y(0)=0 \) into \( L^{q(\cdot ), \beta -\frac{1}{p^{\prime }(\cdot )}-\frac{1}{q(\cdot )}}(0, l). \) Moreover, the norm of mapping is estimated by a constant depending on \( p(\cdot ), q(\cdot ), \varepsilon , \delta , \beta . \)
Theorem 3.3
Let \( q, p: (0, l) \rightarrow (1, \infty ) \) be measurable functions satisfying (4) and (5). Let \( p(\cdot ) \) be increasing near origin and there exists \( \varepsilon >0 \) such that \( x^{\beta -\frac{1}{p^{\prime }(x)}+\varepsilon } \) a.d. a little \( \delta \)-neighborhood of origin.
Then, operator H acts compactly \( L^{p(\cdot ),\beta } (0, l) \) into \( L^{q(\cdot ), \beta - \frac{1}{p^{\prime }(\cdot )} - \frac{1-\varepsilon }{q(\cdot )}}(0, l). \)
Below using Theorem 3.1, 3.2 we prove the next assertion.
Theorem 3.4
Let \( q, p: (0, l) \rightarrow (1, \infty ) \) be measurable functions satisfying (4) and (5). Let p be monotone increasing near origin and decreasing near l. In addition, assume that there exists \( \varepsilon >0 \), such that \( x^{\beta -\frac{1}{p^{\prime }(\cdot )}+\varepsilon } \) is a.d. near origin and a.i. near l on a little \( \delta \)-neighborhood.
Then, for all absolutely continuous functions \( y:(0,l)\rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}\) with \( y(0)=y(l)=0 \), it holds
where the constant \( C>0 \) depends on \( p(\cdot ), q(\cdot ), \beta , \delta , \varepsilon . \)
Theorem 3.5
Let \( q, p: (0, l) \rightarrow (1, \infty ) \) be measurable functions satisfying (4) and (5). Let \( p(\cdot ) \) be a monotone increasing near origin, and decreasing near l. Assume that there exists \( \varepsilon >0 \), such that the function \( x^{\beta - \frac{1}{p^\prime (\cdot )}+\varepsilon } \) be a.d. near origin, and a.i. near l on a little \( \delta \)-neighborhood. Then, the identity operator maps compactly \( \tilde{W}_\beta ^{1, p(\cdot )} (0, l) \) to \( \tilde{L}^{q(\cdot ), \beta -\frac{1}{p^{\prime } (\cdot )}-\frac{1-\varepsilon }{q(\cdot )}}(0, l). \)
The proof of Theorem 3.5 is similarly to the proof of Theorem 3.4.
The following assertion takes place for the eigenvalue problem (2).
Theorem 3.6
Let \( q, p: (0, l)\rightarrow (1, \infty ) \) be measurable functions satisfying
and the real number \( \beta \) satisfies (5). Assume that p(x) increases near origin and decreases near l. Furthermore, there exist \( \varepsilon >0 \), such that the function \( x^{\beta -\frac{1}{p^\prime (x)}+\varepsilon } \) a.d. near origin and a.i. near l on a \( \delta \) -neighborhood.
Then, for any \( \lambda >0 \), there exist a nontrivial positive solution of the eigenvalue problem (2) in space \( \bar{W}_\beta ^{1, p(\cdot )}(0, l) \).
4 Proof of the results
To start the proof of Theorem 3.1, we need on the next assertion.
Lemma 4.1
Let the conditions of Theorem 3.1 be satisfied, that is, p(x) increases in (0, l) and be a.d. near origin. There exists \( \varepsilon >0 \), such that the function \( x^{\beta -\frac{1}{p^{\prime }(x)}+\varepsilon } \) a.d. on a little \( \delta \)-neighborhood of origin. Let \( t \in A_{n}(x)=(2^{-n-1}x, 2^{-n}x] \) and \( x\in (0,l). \)
Then, it holds
where \( p_{x,n}^{-}=\underset{t \in A_{n}(x)}{\inf } \, p(t). \)
Proof of Lemma 4.1
Let \( y\in A_{n}(x) \) be a point, where \( t^{-\frac{1}{p^{\prime }(y)}}\le 2t^{-\frac{1}{(p_{x,n}^{-})^{\prime }}} \). Let \( y<t \) and both points t, y lie in \( A_{n}(x) \). Applying a.d. of the function \( x^{\beta -\frac{1}{p^{\prime }(x)}+\varepsilon } \), it follows:
In addition, using \( t,y \in A_{n}(x) \) and \( (p_{x,n}^{-})^{\prime }>1 \) it follows
If \( y>t \) using increasing \( p,\frac{1}{p^{\prime }} \) also will be increasing. Since \( \frac{1}{p^{\prime }(t)}<\frac{1}{p^{\prime }(y)} \), it follows
where \( C=l^{\frac{1}{p^{-^{\prime }}}}+l^{\frac{1}{ p^{+^{\prime }}}}. \)
Lemma 4.1 has been proved.
Proof of Theorem 3.1
Let \( f:(0,l)\rightarrow (0,\infty ) \) be a positive measurable function. It holds the identity
Assume \( \Vert t^{\beta } f(t) \Vert _{L^{p(\cdot )}(0,l)}=1 \). Using the triangle property of \( p(\cdot ) \) norms
Derive estimation for every summand in (9). For this purpose, get an estimation for the proper modular:
Using the assumption on \( \beta \) and almost decreasing of \( x^{\beta - \frac{1}{p^{\prime }}+\varepsilon } \), we have
Notice, applying a.d. of \( x^{\beta -\frac{1}{p^{\prime }(x)} +\varepsilon } \), and Lemma 4.1 it has been used that \( x^{\beta -\frac{1}{p^{\prime }(x)} +\varepsilon }\le C t^{\beta -\frac{1}{p^{\prime }(t)}+\varepsilon } \) for \( 2^{-n-1} x <t \le 2^{-n}x \) and \( 0<x<l. \) Therefore, and applying Hölder’s inequality from (10), it follows
Applying Lemma 4.1 and estimate (11), it follows from (10) that
Since
it follows
Therefore
It has been proved that
this implies
Theorem 3.1 has been proved.
Proof of Theorem 3.3
To proof Theorem 3.3, we apply the approaches, e.g., in [5, 6]. Insert the operators:
As it was stated in [5], \( P_{3} \) is a limit of finite rank operators, while \( P_{2} \) is a finite rank operator. From Theorem 3.1, it follows that
or
This completes the proof of Theorem 3.3. \(\square \)
Proof of Theorem 3.4
Notice, the inequality
where \( C>0 \) depends on \( l, \beta , p(\cdot ),q(\cdot ) \). The boundedness in \( L^{q(\cdot )}(0,l) \) for the first summand in the right hand side follows from Theorem 3.2, while the boundedness of the second summand easily can be derived using the assertion of Theorem 3.1, i.e., we need to show the inequality:
To prove this inequality is the same to show that
for any positive measurable function \( g:(0,l)\rightarrow (0,\infty ) \) .
Using the definition of variable exponent norm, we have
(inserting \( g(x)=f(l-x) \) )
(changing the variable of integration \( y=l-x \) )
where \( \tilde{p}(x)=p(l-x) \).
On the other hand
inserting \( g(t)=f(l-t) \) in the interior integral:
changing the variable \( y=l-t \):
changing the variable \( z=l-x, \)
Now, since the functions \( \tilde{p},\tilde{q} \) satisfies all conditions of Theorem 3.1, we get
Note, we have used that the condition \( \beta <1-\frac{1}{{\tilde{p}}^-} \) is the same condition \( \beta <1-\frac{1}{p^-}. \)
This completes the proof of inequality:
\(\square \)
Proof of Theorem 3.6
To prove this assertion, we shall use the well-known mountain pass theorem approaches. Set \( E=\bar{W}_\beta ^{1, p(\cdot )}(0, l). \) Define the functional
Using the standard argues (see, e.g., [19]), it is not difficult to see that the functional has Gateaux derivative and \(I_{\lambda }\in C^{1}(E,R). \) It means \( I_{\lambda }^{\prime }\in E^{*},\) and \( I_\lambda ^\prime : E\rightarrow E^* \) continuous. Furthermore, for \( \forall v\in E \)
Palais–Smale condition. Show that Palais–Smale (PS) condition is satisfied for the problem (2). Let \( \{y_{n}\}\in E \) be a sequence satisfying the conditions:
-
1.
\(\left| I_{\lambda }(y_{n})\right| \le M;\)
-
2.
\(\left\| I^{\prime }(y_{n})\right\| _{E^{*}}\rightarrow 0 \) as \( n\rightarrow \infty .\)
To show PS condition, we should prove the sequence \( \{y_n\}\in E \) is compact, i.e., contains a converging in E subsequence \( y_{n_k} \rightarrow y\in E. \)
To show it, first, establish the boundedness of \(\{y_{n}\} \) in E. Using 1), it follows
Then
On the other hand, using condition 2), \(\Vert I_{\lambda }^{\prime }(y_{n})\Vert _{E^*}=o(1) \) as \( n\rightarrow \infty . \) It means
In particular, inserting \( v=y_n, \) we get
that is
Inserting this, it follows
From this, since \( q^{-}>p^{+}, \) it follows
or
Using Young’s inequality and \( p^->1 \) from here, it follows
This completes the boundedness of \( \{y_{n}\} \) in E. \(\square \)
Applying well-known fact, there exists a weak convergent subsequence \( y_{n_{k}} \rightarrow y \) in E. Denote it again \( y_{n}. \) It follows from the compact embedding Theorem 3.3 that a strong convergence \( y_{n}\rightarrow y\ \) in \(\ \ L^{q(\cdot ),\beta - \frac{1}{p^{\prime }(\cdot )}-\frac{1-\varepsilon }{q(\cdot )}}(0,l) \) holds, that is
Now, we are ready to show the strong convergence \( y_{n}\rightarrow y \) in E . For this, insert \( v=y_{n}-y \)in (14):
From this, since \( y_{n}\rightarrow y \) in \( L^{q(\cdot ),\beta -\frac{1}{p^{\prime }(\cdot )} -\frac{1-\varepsilon }{q(\cdot )}}(0,l), \) and using Holder’s inequality, it follows
where also has been used Theorem 3.4 and the estimate (15), to assert the bounded ness \( \{y_{n}\} \) in \( L ^{^{q(\cdot ),\beta -\frac{1}{p^{\prime }(\cdot )}- \frac{1-\varepsilon }{q(\cdot )}}}(0,l). \)
Therefore
From this, we infer
Since \( y_{n}\rightarrow y \) weakly in E, it holds
This ensures that
In the next, we will apply the following two inequalities:
for \( p(x)\ge 2 \) and
for \( 1<p(x)\le 2 \) . Then, for the case \( p(x)\ge 2 \), we get
As to the case \( 1<p(x)\le 2 \), we have
Using Young’s inequality from here, it follows that
Therefore
where M does not depend on \( n\in N \). This and the above estimation together with Young’s inequality yield:
Therefore, \( y_{n} \rightarrow y \) in E.
Now, we are ready to apply the mountain pass theorem. Notice our argues before based on the contrary assumption \( \Vert y_{n}-y\Vert _E \nrightarrow 0.\) Under it, the estimate was established:
Therefore, using assumption \( p^{-}>1 \) and Young’s inequality, we come to the conclusion:
i.e., \( y_{n}\rightarrow y \) in E strongly.
This completes the proof of PS-property.
Mountain pass theorem. Apply the Mountain pass theorem to show the existence of solution for the problem (2).
For \( \Vert y\Vert _E \le 1 \), we have
Using Theorem 3.1,
Then, (18) implies
where \( C(l)=\max \big ( l^{\frac{2\varepsilon }{q^-}}, \, l^{\frac{2\varepsilon }{q^+}} \big ) \). Hence, for \( \Vert y\Vert _E \le 1 \), it follows
Therefore
If we choose the sphere in E as \(\Vert y\Vert _E =\min \left\{ 1,\left( \frac{q^{-}}{2\lambda C_1C(l)^{q^{+}}p^{+}}\right) ^{\frac{1}{q^{-}-p^{+}}}\right\} \), it follows
Choose a sphere with radii \( R=\left( \frac{1}{2\lambda C_1C(l)^{q^{+}}p^{+}}\right) ^{\frac{1}{ q^{-}-p^{+}}} \) in E to apply the mountain pass theorem.
Now, it remains to find a point \( y_{0}\in E \) lied out of the ball B(0, R) in E, where \( I_{\lambda }(y_{0})<0 \) . To show it, apply the fibering method: for \( y\in E \) be fixed and sufficiently large \( t>1 \), it holds
Applying mountain pass theorem, there exists a point \( {\tilde{y}}\in E \) with \( I_{\lambda }({\tilde{y}})=c \) and \( I_{\lambda }^{\prime }({\tilde{y}})=0. \) Here
where the infimum is taken all over the curves
Therefore, \( I_{\lambda }({\tilde{y}})>0,I^{\prime }({\tilde{y}})=0. \) To show that \( {\tilde{y}} \) is a positive solution of (2), insert \( v={\tilde{y}}_- \) in \( \langle I^{\prime }{\tilde{y}}, v \rangle =0. \)
Since the second integral is zero (\( {\tilde{y}}_{+}^{q(x)-1}{\tilde{y}}_{-}\equiv 0) \), we have
Using Theorem 3.1, it follows \( {\tilde{y}}_-(x)\equiv 0 \); therefore, \( {\tilde{y}}(x)>0 \).
This completes the proof of Theorem 3.6, and which proves the existence of positive solution for problem (2) for any \( \lambda >0 \).
