The Dirichlet problem with mean curvature operator in Minkowski space – a variational approach. (English) Zbl 1305.35030
Adv. Nonlinear Stud. 14, No. 2, 315-326 (2014); corrigendum ibid. 16, No. 1, 173-174 (2016).
This paper deals with a class of nonlinear variational problems with Dirichlet boundary condition and bounded nonlinearity. The main feature of the present paper is the study in the Minkowski space. By means of variational arguments, the authors establish several qualitative results. An application to the study of nontrivial solutions for a class of nonlinear Dirichlet problems depending on a parameter is provided in the final part of this paper.
