Abstract
Considering a semilinear elliptic equation âÎu+λu=μg(x,u)+b(x)inΩ,u=0onâΩ,in a bounded domain ΩâRn with a smooth boundary, we apply a new variational principle introduced in Momeni (2011, 2017) to show the existence of a strong solution, where g can have critical growth. To be more accurate, assuming G(x,â
) is the primitive of g(x,â
) and Gâ(x,â
) is the Fenchel dual of G(x,â
), we shall find a minimum of the functional I[â
] defined by I[u]=â«Î©Î¼Gâ(x,âÎu+λuâb(x)μ)dxââ«Î©Î¼G(x,u)+b(x)udx,over a convex set K, consisting of bounded functions in an appropriate Sobolev space. The symmetric nature of the functional I[â
], provided by existence of a function G and its Fenchel dual Gâ, alleviate the difficulty and shorten the process of showing the existence of solutions for problems with supercritical nonlinearity. It also makes it an ideal choice among the other energy functionals including Euler-Lagrange functional.
