%0 Journal Article %T Solutions to perturbed eigenvalue problems of the p-Laplacian in RN %A Joao Marcos Do O %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 1997 %I Texas State University %X Using a variational approach, we investigate the existence of solutions for non-autonomous perturbations of the p-Laplacian eigenvalue problem $$ -Delta _pu=f(x,u)quad { m in}quad {Bbb R}^N,. $$ Under the assumptions that the primitive $F(x,u)$ of $f(x,u)$ interacts only with the first eigenvalue, we look for solutions in the space $D^{1,p}({Bbb R}^N)$. Furthermore, we assume a condition that measures how different the behavior of the function $F(x,u)$ is from that of the $p$-power of $u$. %K Mountain Pass Theorem %K Palais-Smale Condition %K First eigenvalue %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/1997/11/abstr.html
