Abstract

Let X be a real reflexive Banach and X* be its dual space. Let G1 and G2 be open subsets of X* such that Ḡ2 ⊂ G1, 0 ∈ G2, and G1 is bounded. Let L : X ⊃ D(L) → X* be a densely defined linear maximal monotone operator, A : X ⊃ D(A) → 2X* be a maximal monotone and positively homogeneous operator of degree γ > 0, C : X ⊃ D(C) → X* be a bounded demicontinuous operator of type (S+) with respect to D(L), and T : Ḡ1 → 2X* be a compact and upper-semicontinuous operator whose values are closed and convex sets in X*. We first take L = 0 and establish the existence of nonzero solutions of Ax + Cx + Tx ∋ 0 in the set G1 \ G2. Secondly, we assume that A is bounded and establish the existence of nonzero solutions of Lx + Ax + Cx ∋ 0 in G1 \ G2. We remove the restrictions γ ∈ (0, 1] for Ax + Cx + Tx ∋ 0 and γ = 1 for Lx + Ax + Cx ∋ 0 from such existing results in the literature. We also present applications to elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations in general divergence from satisfying Dirichlet boundary conditions.
