%0 Journal Article %T On the solvability of a boundary value problem on the real line %A Cupini Giovanni %A Marcelli Cristina %A Papalini Francesca %J Boundary Value Problems %D 2011 %I Springer %X We investigate the existence of heteroclinic solutions to a class of nonlinear differential equations ( a ( x ) ¦µ ( x ¡ä ( t ) ) ) ¡ä = f ( t , x ( t ) , x ¡ä ( t ) ) , a . e . t ¡Ê governed by a nonlinear differential operator ¦µ extending the classical p-Laplacian, with right-hand side f having the critical rate of decay -1 as |t| ¡ú +¡Þ, that is f ( t , , ) ¡Ö 1 t . We prove general existence and non-existence results, as well as some simple criteria useful for right-hand side having the product structure f(t, x, x') = b(t, x)c(x, x').
