On a quasilinear elliptic problem involving the 1-laplacian operator and a discontinuous nonlinearity (2210.10889v1)

Abstract: In this work, we study a quasilinear elliptic problem involving the 1-laplacian operator, with a discontinuous, superlinear and subcritical nonlinearity involving the Heaviside function $H(\cdot - \beta)$. Our approach is based on an analysis of the associated p-laplacian problem, followed by a thorough analysis of the asymptotic behaviour or such solutions as $p \to 1^+$. We study also the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions, as $\beta \to 0^+$ and we prove that it converges to a solution of the original problem, without the discontinuity in the nonlinearity.
