Separable solutions of quasilinear Lane-Emden equations

Abstract

For 0<p1<q0 < p-1 < q and =±1\ge=\pm 1, we prove the existence of solutions of -\Gd_pu=\ge u^q in a cone CSC_S, with vertex 0 and opening SS, vanishing on \prt C_S, under the form u(x)=|x|^\gb\gw(\frac{x}{|x|}). The problem reduces to a quasilinear elliptic equation on SS and existence is based upon degree theory and homotopy methods. We also obtain a non-existence result in some critical case by an integral type identity.Comment: To appear in Journal of the European Mathematical Societ
